Leonid Meteor Shower



When Chris and I we were dating, we somehow got by on maybe 2-3 hours of sleep a night. However, since we've been married, Chris and I have usually gone to bed at a "reasonable" hour. So, I thought we'd mix things up a bit and pull a "late" night to watch the Leonid Showers. Around midnight we started heading up the canyon to find a good look-out spot. Little did we know that we didn't need to drive anywhere to see the most amazing Meteor shower ever. While crossing University and University we saw a huge burst of light that lit up the entire sky. It looked as though someone had turned on Stadium Lights all over the city and then shut them off again. It was truly incredible!
We drove up and found a place at Squaw Peak to watch the showers, hoping that the rest of the morning would be as incredible as what we had just seen. After about an hour of laying in the cold, we still hadn't seen anything that compared to the light that came from the meteor we had seen while driving up.
There's been buzz about the "Fireball" Meteor all over Utah. Supposedly, it's the biggest meteor we've seen in over 200 Years. It lit up the entire Western Sky! and... according to Chris it almost burnt up Denny's!
We had such a fun time together. The lack of sleep was worth every minute!!!
