Day 10 continued.. . .OH. MY. GOODNESS. I went skiing. AND LOVED IT! My other job is at a treatment center with teens that have eating disorders. I've been wanting to get over my fear of skiing for years, so with my "yes man" new years resolution I decided to volunteer as one of the DC staff. Best decision I've ever made! I have made myself sick the past 2 weeks worrying about the trip, and when my alarm went off at 4:30am this morning I was regretting my decision. But oh my word it was a blast! I only fell once! It was a pretty funny fall though. As we were making our way down a trail during the ski class I asked my boss if I could just go straight down the mountain instead of the trail. She told me to go for it. I forgot to turn though. . . So I went "french fry" style down and was going WAY to fast. I heard one of the instructors behind me yelling, "WE LOST ONE!" haha. I knew I didn't have control so I fell down on my side to keep from hurting myself or someone else. . But the funny thing is. . I plugged my nose before I wrecked. haha. Can you tell I grew up water skiing??? hahaha. My boss and the instructor kept asking if I was ok but I kept laughing and saying, "I can't believe I plugged my nose!" So that was my only fall of the day. I learned my lesson to make big turns and had a very successful run on the big girl run. I'm so happy about this! Ryan is such a great skiier so I'm so excited to go together. We are already planning a ski trip together in the next couple weeks. We have also already talked about us going together, eating lunch together while up there, but mostly going on different runs to keep from frustrating eachother. (Me easy runs, him black diamond and what not) haha. YAY for new hobbies! I'm so proud of myself for saying "YES MAN!"

I laughed out loud when I read about you plugging your nose. That is so YOU! Yes I love it. I went skiing when I was younger. Wish it didn't cost so dang much!
YAY SAM!!!! I'm proud of you! I'm frightened to go skiing, since I haven't been since I was like 12 (and was awful at it as a child), so you're totally inspiring me... that if I ever do decide to go again, it won't be horrible. Love you!
