Skiing after 14 years.............

  Last week my friends were texting and someone asked if anyone wanted to go skiing.
Without hesitation I responded, "I do!'
Mind you, I have not been skiing for 14 years...........
I have had several excuses and reasons why I have not gone,
but thought "What the heck!"
Of course when I told my younger boys I was going they could not control their laughter.
They have never seen me ski. Noah actually feared for my life.
That is exactly why I was not going with them. 
As Monday approached I did get nervous and actually came up with a few really good excuses
not to go.  As others canceled, I tried to also, but my friend Delin was 
not letting me out of it. So I bit the bullet and went...................
and absolutely had the time of my life.
Beautiful gorgeous day. Not a lot of people up there. Nobody to laugh or make fun.
 I actually surprised myself and did just fine.
I need to work on my form a little, but with time, things came back.
It was so very much fun.
Riding the Gondola up the mountain I was sure I was going to pee I was so nervous.
Then putting the skis on and getting on the chairlift freaked me out alittle.
Mostly the anticipation of getting off of the chairlift was getting to me,
but I did fine. I really dont think anybody would have guessed I had not been on skis in 14 years!
 Can hardly wait to go again. Kind of thinking maybe once a week............
It was very liberating.............

The last week or so has been so cold.
Last week this was the reading on my phone at 9:23 a.m.
Are you kidding me??????


I thought it was interesting that the actual Temp was 15 degrees lower than
what they listed the low for the day as being.
Luckily, it is warming up slightly this week.
It is noon and it 16 degrees out!  We are practically having a heatwave!!

New Years 2013


 Heading into the New Year
we got way too much snow in my opinion.
First year in 15 years that I could not make it to my house from the bottom of the sub division.
Not a fun thing to happen at nearly mid night.
With the help of Bobby and some walking we made it home.
I now have some much needed new tires on my car and hopefully the snow will no longer be an issue!
Hopefully it will just stop snowing!! That is my hope!!
Not a big fan of snow!!



 For the 3rd year in a row Noah and I spent New Years alone at home
while everyone else was out with friends.
Don't know what I will do when Noah is old enough to go out with friends!!
Noah was totally into the staying up until 12 and saved it on his I pod
as proof that he made it to midnight!!
He looks a little tired in the below picture.  Hunter said he looked drunk!!
Kind of. Not sure you can get drunk off of Martinellis!
Love how the tree looks like he is wearing a hat!


The shirt Noah is wearing is his "Motto" shirt,

"Some People Want it to Happen.
Some People Wish it would Happen.
And Others Make it Happen"

That is a good Motto and maybe a goal and 
New Years Resolution for us all to have.......

Happy New Year!!!!!!!!!!!

I promise, pictures from Christmas soon..........
