skiing

Well I survived! Dan took me skiing for my very first time yesterday! And I have to say, Dan is the most patient and loving husband EVER!! He literally skied backwards most of the day so I could feel more comfortable! He took so much abuse from me all morning, I yelled at him telling him his "hobby" is stupid and crazy and I hated him for making me come ( ok so obviously I chose to come) He didn't yell back or call me bad names he knew this was hard for me and that I was trying to do something so out of my comfort zone I regretted it instantly! But by the afternoon I was more confidant and I was skiing sections on my own! I never really left the bunny hill but that bunny hill was intense, so all good! I do have to say that Dan is great skier, but I knew that before we went! But I am amazed at how good our kids are!!!! Dallin and Emma are amazing and did graduate from the bunny hill and from their wedgies (things that hold the skis tips together so they don't do the splits all the time)!! They were awesome!! The graduated from their class and and ran a race and won gold medals! Emma came down and the first question she asked was, " What place am I?"! They of course said first and she went off so excited! Dallin the older and wiser brother told her later in the car that she was not first place because everyone was first place! Funny! They love skiing and didn't want to stop at the end of the day! So I guess the good news about me is that I am willing to go back and try again! Dan says it takes three times befoer you really enjoy it! And yes I am veryyyyyyy sore this morning!!! One last note I am thankfull I am married to the greatest man in the world! It does make a difference!
Dallin after he won his gold medal!!

Me waiting for Dallin to come down the race. It was a hill and Dan let me take my skis off while I waited so I wouldn't keep sliding down the hill!

Emma waiting for her class! SHe was just tired so she kept laying down on the snow! SHe was sooooooo cute! And brave!

No picture of Dan he took them all and I wasn't thinking about taking pictures of him until the end and he had the camera! He looked great though!!!!
