Updates

As closing day gets a little closer (February 28th), I began packing my books into boxes today. It's the first packing done at all, since everything in our apratment is already taking up as little space as possible. Whatever we put in boxes has to be stacked in some other space which has some other use besides storage!

As for National Boards, I have finally finished the third paper, which leaves one to go. The count down to March 31st has reached break neck speed, but atleast I feel like I'm actually making progress:) The goal is to finish drafting the last paper by the end of February, leaving a few weeks for revising and editing. Then of course there will be the time needed to attach cover sheets to each and every piece of each and every entry... before putting each entry into its own seperate envelope and sending it off in the mail to be scored by three seperate people. I should know whether or not I passed in approximately 10 short months!

No skiing this weekend, as we spent most of our four day vacation (thank you presidents) on the front range visiting Jeremy's family and friends. My goal is to take another lesson next weekend. I'm making progress! My last lesson was spent mostly on double blues and one black diamond run. Not too bad for someone who has been skiing less than two years.

Hope everyone is doing well, and maybe I'll see you soon!

Blue Sky!

Skiing with Lottie

Lottie came down to visit this past weekend. We had a good time skiing. She's the one on the right in video (with the red and white jacket).





On Sunday we went into Ouray to hit the hot springs. While there we also observed some very brave people climbing the ice walls. Apparently Ouray is one of the best places in the world for ice climbing.

We're Buying a Home!

Jeremy and I are under contract to purchase a townhome in nearby Ouray, CO. It's HUGE compared to this place we're staying in now...3 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, 1 car garage, large laundry room, etc....

Although the commute will be lengthy, we'll be doing it together, and we're soooooo excited about the new place. Lots of room for people to visit!

Skiing 1.20.08

Today I went down my first black diamond run ever! We did Upper Plunge and Bushwacker.

Winterfest 2008

Snowmobiles flying through the air, skiers twisting and flipping off of ramps, fireworks, and a torchlite parade... we were almost able to forget it was only 10 degrees outside!
