30 Questions: Hobbies

List your top 5 hobbies and why you love them.

1.) Cooking - I've loved cooking my entire life. My earliest memories are of cooking! I don't know why I love it so much...I think it has to do with the cultural element of food. It brings people together, no matter where they're from or who they are. It's something everyone has in common. Nobody gets mad when you bring them delicious food!

2.) Shopping - It's always been a stress reliever for me, which is odd since my family tends to not particularly enjoy it. There are few things that make me happier on a Saturday afternoon than going to the mall and just leisurely wandering around. I don't have to buy anything...I just enjoy going. Yes, I know it's weird.

3.) Traveling - I don't feel like I should have to explain this one! There's so many amazing things you can get out of travel. From the bit of traveling I've done, I've gained new favorite foods, a new appreciation for different cultures, language skills, friends, indescribable experiences...the list could go on for ages. The magical thing about travel is that it changes you as a person for the better. I wish everyone could dive into another culture with an open mind...it'd make the world a better place.

4.) Exercising/Being Active - While I sometimes have a love/hate relationship with the gym, I love being active, particularly when it doesn't seem like I'm doing it solely for the exercise aspect. Whether it's throwing on a pair of skis and or going for a walk, I love being able to get out, experience nature and appreciate my body for the amazing things it is capable of doing.

5.) Writing - I've always expressed myself far better through written words than spoken ones. Writing just makes sense to me. I love it and I would not be who I am without it.

A Rant

This is going to be an unusual post for me...if you don't want to hear a mini rant on religion and politics, you might want to skip this post.

As all of you are aware by now, there was an incredibly tragic school shooting in Connecticut last week. I was very upset by this, as most of the world was. My heart still breaks for the families whose lives will never be the same. It was a senseless tragedy.

This tragedy has also brought up a lot of issues, primarily gun control. I have my feelings on that, but that's not what's on my mind today. What's on my mind is God. Specifically, the ridiculous articles I've read quoting politicians who claim the tragedy in Newtown happened because "we've systematically removed God from our schools."

I beg to differ.

Do you honestly think that God decided He was going to let dozens of innocent children get killed because the (secular) government doesn't allow prayer requests in class? How on earth can people honestly believe that? As a religious woman, I am quite frankly outraged that someone claiming to share my religious beliefs could make such an asinine statement. 

God is very much in our schools. God is very much in our workplaces. God is everywhere. As a child, I attended both public and parochial schools. Did I ever get treated differently because I was open about my Christian faith? No. Was I ever told I wasn't allowed to pray? No. Last I checked, prayer is a conversation between an individual and God. It isn't something that has to be conducted in a public forum. I prayed just as frequently in public school as I did in private school. 

There are no laws that prevent students of faith from coming together and praying. No one's going to get kicked out of school for saying a quick prayer with a friend at their locker. If you want teachers to lead you in prayer daily, there are parochial schools you can attend. Don't have the money for it? There are scholarships and charities that will make it more feasible for you. But FYI - as a former student of a parochial high school, I can attest that typically pre-class prayer requests become more of a way to eat into class time rather than the well-meaning prayers they ought to be.

By attending a public school, parents or guardians are knowingly sending their children to a place that is meant to be free of religion. Public schools are run by the state. Separation of church and state...that whole thing. This is not an attack on your religion. This is not belittling you for having faith in things unseen. Believe it or not, it's actually protecting you. It's freedom from all religions. These guidelines and laws prevent groups like Westboro Baptist Church and other hate groups from parading around schools on religious grounds. It prevents a young Muslim child from having to participate in prayers to a Hindu god. It prevents a young Christian from having to fast at Ramadan. Freedom from religion allows each person to live according to the beliefs they have without forcing them on anyone else. Want to pray to Jesus? Go for it. Just don't force the Jewish kid down the hallway to participate. 

No one's going to get kicked out of school for silently praying before an exam. If you're a devout Muslim and you need to pray five times a day, go talk to the school office and they'll most likely allow you to do so, provided you do so in private. I remember being jealous of Jewish kids when I saw on syllabi that students could miss classes on days we didn't already have off for religious reasons. 

No one's trying to "systematically remove" God from schools. And if anyone honestly thinks they are capable of doing that, it's laughable. God is so much more than a public prayer session. God's inside the hearts of believers, and that's something that will never be stamped out of any school.

I don't know about you, but I know beyond any shadow of a doubt that my God was there in Newtown. He was there with the students who sat silently in a tiny bathroom, hoping they would survive the day. He was there providing strength to the teacher who was killed while telling the shooter her students were in the gym while they were actually hiding in the closet. He was there in the hearts of people who came out to comfort and provide for those hurting.

Don't you dare tell me that my God abandoned anyone because a secular institution doesn't allow public prayer inside its walls. 

My God is so much more powerful than that.

Excedrin for Nobel Peace Prize

Whoever invented Excedrin needs to be nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize.

Yesterday afternoon, I had a migraine. This was one of those throbbing, can't-see-straight, please-turn-off-all-the-lights, I'm-about-to-vomit migraines. Every possible symptom of a migraine was in there. It was like the perfect storm of migraines.

Of course, this happened two days after I decided to take Advil out of my purse, so I was sitting at work feeling like my head was going to implode at any second. And, one hour after work ended for the day, we had our company holiday celebration...aka lots of people and noise (which are just great when you have a migraine!).

Fortunately, my friend Julia and I carpooled to work, so she delivered me home right after work and I downed a glass of water and two extra strength Excedrin, then laid in bed for ten minutes with all the lights off.

Lo and behold, by the time I was arriving at the restaurant less than an hour later, the throbbing was subsiding and I could see without big blurs on everything.

And the holiday party was fantastic :)

Are you listening, Nobel Peace Prize committee??

Macaron Cooking Class!

I just signed up for a holiday macarons cooking class at Sur La Table in Salt Lake City!

If you've ever been to Europe with me, you know of my love of these delightful French cookies. They're a very unique sandwich cookie...some sort of delicious filling in the middle of two soft yet crisp (it makes sense if you've had one) meringue/almond meal cookies.

Even though I'm traditionally a straight up chocolate dessert kind of girl, macarons are fantastic in about any flavor you can imagine. I believe my love of salted caramel came from a macaron I tried at Laduree in France, long before that flavor was all over Starbucks and every other chain in the world.

When I was in London this summer and went to Paris for about eleven hours, I made a point of stopping in Laduree. When I returned to London, I learned there was one in Harrod's! So, of course, I had to go to Harrod's myself and see if they were as wonderful as the ones in Paris.

Of course, they were great...but I had to make sure ;) 

Anyways...the ability to make these fantastic concoctions has always escaped me, so I'm more than a little excited to take a class about it. Supposedly, the instructor is fantastic. The recipes are all holiday-themed, too, so it should be an introduction to some fun flavors!

Stay tuned for more macaron posts after I become an expert!

30 Questions: Predicting the Future

Where do you see yourself in 5 years? 10 years? 15 years?

I'm going to cheat and not really answer this question because I don't try to really think about where I'll be in 5-10-15-however-many years. It's not because the future freaks me out (cue Motion City Soundtrack song) or because I'm a commitment phobe. It's because I spent a good five years of my life planning where I'd be in the future and guess what? I was totally wrong and couldn't be happier about that.

So, my approach to the future is just to go where the ride takes me. That's not to say I don't have goals. I'd like to get married and have kids. I'd like to continue to have a successful career in Olympic sports. However, I'm on no strict timeline for any of those. It's out of my hands, and I'm completely fine with that.

So, all I'll say to where I see myself in the future is that I see myself living my life and continuing to go with the flow!

30 Questions: Superpowers

If you could have one superpower, what would it be and what would you do with it first?

As a fan of TV shows like Heroes and movies/comics like X-Men, I could get pretty specific with this answer. But long story short, I'd love to have the ability to fly or teleport. It'd just make life much easier! Rather than sitting in airports for hours waiting to travel home for holidays or somewhere for work, I could just up and go. First thing I would do? Probably cancel my plane ticket for the holidays and travel home with my newfound powers!

Plus, flying would just be fun.

30 Questions: Childhood Memories

Describe 3 significant memories from your childhood.

Those of you who know me well know that I have an absolutely horrible memory (well, unless we're talking about song lyrics or very random trivia). This applies to me as a little kid, as well. So, most of my childhood memories are lacking in detail because I don't remember much of them!

My biggest memory from childhood is baking cookies. Whether it was Christmas or just making chocolate chip cookies, it was always an event. My brother and I would always make a game of sneaking to the refrigerator to snag a taste of cookie dough while it was chilling. There was always a fight over who got to lick the bowl or the spoon. Usually, I cheated by "accidentally" leaving a lot of dough on the spoon and claiming that. Christmas cookies were the biggest of all our baking - it was an all-day event, starting with making the dough, then chilling it for a few hours, then absolutely destroying the kitchen in a cloud of powdered sugar and flour as we rolled out the dough and eventually iced the cookies. And every year, we took a picture like this:

Next stop on the memory train is family travel. I remember going on my first cruise when I was in 4th grade with my mom's entire extended family (cousins, aunts, uncles, grandparents). To a 4th grader, that ship seemed like being let loose in a big city! We went to our kid's clubs and snuck through the casino even though we were convinced we'd get kicked off if we got caught in there. Also when I was little, I went to Washington, DC, with my dad. We waited in line with some Chinese tourists at the Washington Monument who were obsessed with my blonde hair and wanted to take pictures with me. I wore little dresses around because I was at an age where I liked to do that. It was a great trip for a young girl to go on!

Finally, I remember creating crazy, imaginative games out of nothing with my brother and sister. We still laugh today about some of the things we came up with! We had "games" called Alaska (this was mainly just hiding under lots of blankets), Kitty Kitty Kittens, the Return of the Alien Show and many, many more. Most had their own theme songs to go with them, too. We were very creative children who really found a way to have fun with just about anything. 

So, there are the memories. And as a bonus, here is my famous photo from my infancy.

30 Questions: Where to Live

If you could live anywhere, where would it be and why?

To be perfectly honest, I don't think I'll ever have one place I'd want to live. I have a list of places I would love to live at some point in time, but there's a reason I titled this blog "Midwestern Nomad." I don't like to stay put!

That being said, the two places that top my list of where I'd like to live at some point in time are London and Hawaii. I've never actually been to Hawaii, but I feel like the combination of mountains, ocean and awesome weather would be a good one for me. However, I think I'd go a little stir crazy on an island, so it wouldn't likely be permanent. London has been a dream destination for me for a long time. I love British culture and British people. I love London's blend of old and new. I never get tired of it! 

PS - This is my 100th blog post! Yay!

30 Questions: Forgiveness

What has been the most difficult thing you have had to forgive?

My previous employer laid me off (along with several other employees) in a less than professional way. I was still in London after weeks of working 20+ hour days. Despite being told I did not need to look for a job when I asked before the London Olympics, I found myself unemployed in one of the world's most expensive cities.

The thing that made it difficult, though, was not the circumstances. It was the fact that this company had spent the prior year preaching about employees being family and treating one another that way. It felt like a betrayal on a very personal level rather than simply being laid off for financial reasons. There are far more details I could get into about why I felt the way I did, but I won't get into those here. I had (and still have) good reason to be upset.

However, I don't see any point in dwelling on bad things. Before I moved, I met with the company's CEO to talk. We talked for a good hour or so about everything. While I cannot in good faith recommend the company to anyone I care about for Olympic travel due to my personal experiences, I've buried the hatchet with my former coworkers. They are humans who have flaws but still mean well. I can forgive while still accepting the lessons I learned there. 

I've moved on, and I'm happy for the times that I have had. I'm grateful for the people I've met and the experiences I have had the opportunity to experience. Without my previous employer, I wouldn't have met many of those people or had some of those experiences. Everything happens for a reason and I truly believe that.

Keeping the Roads Hot

So, I realized the other day that I haven't remained in a single state in nearly a year (and I will be going a full year without staying in one state since I have travel plans through January). I thought it'd be fun to relive my travels a bit and preview those to come!

The Great(ish) Amtrak Journey: Part 2

I've returned! My trip to Colorado went very well, but before posting about all of that, I figured I'd finish up my Amtrak story.

The rest of my trip to Colorado was pretty uneventful. After the sun set, there weren't many things to look at, so I watched more TV on my iPad Mini and slept off and on. We did go by a herd of elk at one point, though, and that was pretty cool. I attempted to get a picture, but the lack of sunlight made it a little difficult.

On the way back, I was planning on leaving from Glenwood Springs since I'd be coming from Aspen (Glenwood Springs is where the state highway leading to Aspen connects to I-70), but that ended up changing when I was offered the chance to go to a Denver Nuggets game with my friend Margaux! More on that in my post to come about the non-train portions of the trip.

Anyways, I ended up leaving from Denver. Their station is a bit bigger than Salt Lake's, but in need of some updating. There's construction all around the area, so it looks like that may be happening. I managed to snag yet another bulkhead seat (upon reading about train seating, apparently bulkheads aren't as highly valued as I thought, but they do indeed have more legroom and you always have a full window!) and promptly set it up as my home for the next fifteen hours.

Again, I got two seats to myself for the full duration of the trip. This trip made me very grateful for my height, as I was able to perfectly curl up into a ball on the two seats with the leg rests propped out. I wish I had remembered a pillow, though, although having two blankets made that a little better.

The highlight of this train trip was going through the canyons of western Colorado during sunset. The red rocks looked absolutely stunning in light! So, me being me, I snapped about half a million photos.

All of Colorado was very beautiful. There wasn't much snow, which was a bit surprising for this time of year, but it was still great to see. I highly recommend a trip on the California Zephyr if you're interested in the scenic route between Salt Lake and Denver! And now, I leave you with some Instagram photos...

The Great(ish) Amtrak Journey: Part 1

Greetings from Grand Junction, Colorado!

So far, the Amtrak journey from Salt Lake City to Denver is going well. It started this morning very early (or last night very late depending on how you look at it). I got to the station at 2:30am, mainly because it said online that you had to check bags more than 45 minutes prior to departure (departure time was listed at 3:30am) and I didn't want to lug my massive suitcase around. But, when I went to check in, they said the train would be arriving in ten minutes! 

The train did indeed arrive about ten minutes later, but it took 15-20 minutes for them to unload all of the passengers who were completing their journey at Salt Lake. The train still stayed at the station until about 3:30am, but I was glad to be there earlier so I could get a good seat. And I definitely did! I am in the bulkhead, so I have a TON of room. If you think bulkheads have a lot of legroom on airplanes, just wait til you see it on a train. I have a good foot and a half of space between my feet and the wall and I'm all sprawled out! I read that some people aren't fans of the bulkhead because the doors between train cars can be noisy, but I just popped in my in-ear headphones and played some Mumford and Sons and barely noticed the noise at all. I also had an eye mask (thanks, Gap Outlet clearance sale), so that blocked out any light.

I managed to sleep until about 8am. I didn't have anyone in the seat next to me, so I put both the leg rests all the way up and turned it into a little bed. Fortunately, since I am vertically challenged, that worked out well for me. I slept wonderfully, much to my surprise.

When I woke up, they were serving breakfast in the dining car, but I opted against that and watched some TV on my new iPad Mini. I think I'll go to the dining car for lunch, but right now, I am nice and cozy in my seat.

The desert scenery has been pretty cool...check out some of my Instagram pics below!

So that's part one. We'll call it the desert portion. Next up are the mountains...I'm definitely looking forward to the scenery for that part!!

30 Questions: The Greatest

What is the thing you most wish you were great at?

MUSIC!! I've always loved music! If you've ever been in a car with me, you've heard me singing (although I cannot guarantee the quality of that singing). I've never stuck with any instruments, though, and I wish I had the ability to play them. I can knock out a few chords on the guitar or play a rudimentary piece on the piano, but I've never been able to do either well. I can read music and have even taken the time to sound out tunes on the piano so that I can write them down...but a quick little melody line doesn't sound all that exciting without harmonies to go with it!

Some of you have also read the song lyrics I have written. I wish I had the talent to put them to music. I always have a tune in my head when I write the words (hence why I call them songs and not poems), but I lack much in terms of ability to write the actual music down.

So, there you have it. I'd love to be a musician!

Not Your Average Thanksgiving

This year, my Thanksgiving is not going to be like it usually is.

Typically, I have a pretty normal Thanksgiving. I brave the ridiculous airport crowds to fly back to Indianapolis, where I have three Thanksgivings (usually) with about 100ish family members (probably an exaggeration, but oh well). I usually talk my sister or mom into going Black Friday shopping with me (although that was slightly delayed last year by a hangover), even though neither of them really want to.

My Thanksgiving this year starts tonight (technically tomorrow) at 2:30am, when I get to the Amtrak station in Salt Lake City. I'll be taking the California Zephyr train through the mountains to Denver, where I'll be spending two days with my former roommate and dear friend Karen. After two days in Denver, we're driving up to the mountains for the Nature Valley Aspen Winternational, a women's alpine skiing World Cup. After two days there, it's back on the train and back to Utah!

It'll be interesting. I'll definitely miss my normal, chaotic holiday that I love despite its craziness. I'll miss my family and our traditions, both old and new.

But stay tuned for an update on my 15-hour train trip and the ensuing Colorado adventure!

Chocolate Oatmeal Cake and Following Recipes

Last night's adventure...baking chocolate oatmeal cake.

I got the photo off of Tastespotting (it was Pinterest before Pinterest existed), which led to the recipe here.

I had to get a little creative due to a lack of ingredients for the icing they suggested (namely, marshmallows and milk), but it appears to have worked out! Who knew that French vanilla coconut milk creamer could make such tasty (albeit not so smooth) ganache? The one critique I have about the cake itself is that this definitely turned out more like a brownie than a cake, so I'm referring to this recipe as "Chocolate Oatmeal Brownie Things." This isn't a bad thing to me, as I much prefer brownies to cake, but I can see where it'd be annoying if someone were going to try it for a special occasion.

This is why you should always, always use your go-to recipes for special occasions, friends!

Granted, I'm not one for following my own advice. Typically, I use holidays as excuses to bake up whatever random thing I find online. One Easter, I actually invented my own recipe for cookie dough layer cake (while it turned out well, I do not recommend going rogue on cookbooks for a big occasion!). Last Thanksgiving, I made pecan pie for the first time and decided to make a second with chocolate in it (again, diverging from recipes).

Cookie Dough Cake...or, more accurately, brown sugar cake with chocolate chip cookie dough filling, cookie dough icing and chocolate chip cookie crumbs

Alright, now that I've got that out of my system...back to the chocolate oatmeal cake. I am baking at high altitude here in Park City, so the texture could've been a problem with my altitude adjustments. I don't typically see that much of a difference, though.

The final verdict? This stuff is tasty and I liked it. Work people liked it. I'll probably make it again!

30 Questions: Greatest Accomplishments

What are your 5 greatest accomplishments?

1.) Sticking to my dream of working in the Olympic movement and making it happen!

2.) Getting my Masters degree

3.) Maintaining close relationships with family and friends despite distance

4.) Going from never using a DSLR camera to being an official World Cup photographer in less than two years

5.) Accepting myself for who I am and appreciating my quirks

Yeah, I know they're a little less than concrete, but give me a break...my life has only just started and I intend to accomplish a lot more with it! :)

Winter is Coming...

I didn't have ANY idea how anxious I'd be for winter simply by virtue of working and living in a ski town. Those of you who have known me for awhile know that, although I love winter sports, I'm not too keen on the winter/snow/cold part.

Park City had its first snow storm a little over a week ago.

Now, with the snow covering the ski runs...I CANNOT WAIT TO GO SKIING!!

BRING ON WINTER!!

The Makeup Process

So, I'm a believer in full disclosure. I'm not a HUGE makeup wearer and can frequently be found wandering about without it on weekends. However, I figured I'd show just what a little bit of makeup magic can do with my old standby routine. And, FYI to all those guys out there...this is a pretty low maintenance makeup routine compared to a lot of women I know. It takes a village to make us up, but we generally have fun doing it!

Pre-makeup: body butter, toner, anti-wrinkle cream, moisturizer

Ah! It's me without makeup!

30 Questions: That Stupid Animal Question

If you were an animal, what would you be and why?

I hate this question...and EVERY survey-ish thing always seems to ask it! So, my cop out answer is that I would be a bird because I would rather enjoy flying. But if we're being honest here, I'd much rather fly like a superhero because I could do without the bulky wings.

In honor of that, here is a photo of me attempting to fly.

Observations about Life in Utah

If you've followed my blogging for awhile, you know that I like to make lists of cultural differences whenever I go someplace new. So, here's some observations on life thus far in Utah.

Sunday has always been my shopping day. I love being lazy and leisurely in the morning, then heading off to get a late breakfast somewhere followed by window shopping at the mall and a trip to Target. In Utah, that's not entirely possible. Before going anywhere, you have to check to see if wherever you want to go is even open on Sundays. Yes, even malls are closed on Sundays here. The Mormon church owns the nicest mall in Salt Lake, so it's closed on Sundays. Even as I'm sitting here writing this, I'm thinking about where I could go get breakfast that's open today.

People CANNOT drive. This is primarily a Salt Lake City thing. I haven't noticed nearly as many awful drivers in Park City. But when I am in SLC? Count on using the horn a LOT. Last weekend, I swear I had to lay on the horn every 30 seconds! It appears that drivers just don't really pay attention to other people, which tends to be a bit of a problem.

Alcohol laws are just weird. You can only buy alcohol in state-run liquor stores (legal monopoly, apparently) unless it's beer that is below a certain percentage. But they measure the percentage differently than the rest of the country...instead of being measured by volume, it's by weight, I think? I don't drink beer so it doesn't really mean a whole lot to me. Other strange things...last call is midnight (a big change from closing down the bars at 3:30am in college!), free pouring of liquor is illegal (all liquor pours must be measured) and you can only have one drink in front of you at a time. Happy hour isn't a thing here, really, either.

Yes, there are lots of Mormons. No, you generally cannot pick them out in a crowd. Mormons are people just like anyone else. I live with two Mormons and they are very down-to-earth, normal people.

There's this strange sort of camaraderie among the non-Mormons in Utah. Aside from certain neighborhoods in SLC and Park City, non-Mormons are definitely the minority, so I guess it just brings people together like any other shared lifestyle choice.

Anyone out there got any other questions about life in Utah?

30 Questions: 5 Strengths

Describe 5 strengths you have.

1.) Loyalty. It takes awhile to get "in" with me, but once you're in, you're in. I've got your back through anything.

2.) Resilience. I've moved all over the country, had crazy experiences and many ups and downs, but I always land on my feet.

3.) Openness. Since I was tiny, I have always been fascinated by other cultures, religions and peoples in general. While I have my beliefs, I also have the utmost respect for others' beliefs. I will always fight for the right of people to hold those beliefs, as well.

4.) Intelligence. I don't quantify this as IQ or anything like that. Yes, I'm educated. I was valedictorian of my high school, graduated college with two majors and two minors and have a Masters degree. I've taken a couple of college courses since then just for fun. But more than that, I choose to continue to educate myself even outside of school. Intelligence is far more than sitting in a classroom; it's learning from people, experiences and diving into new situations. I like to think that my experiences and education combined have shaped me into an intelligent person.

5.) Attitude. Regardless of the situation, you can count on me to be the one smiling or cracking stupid jokes in the most tense situations. Call it a coping mechanism or whatever you'd like, but to me it's youthful enthusiasm. I hope that the little kid inside of me never goes away!

30 Questions: 5 Weaknesses

Describe 5 weaknesses you have.

1.) Delicious and pretty baked goods

2.) Flat Boots...particularly equestrian style or Uggs

3.) Men in suits

4.) Cute, small animals

5.) Bright colored clothing/shoes/accessories
