Oh my gosh. Just stop talking.

K guys, this is gonna be a long one.

Last week:

Class was canceled on Tuesday. Good thing too. Cuz I wasn't gonna go anyway.

Didn't go to class on Wednesday either. Hitched up to the mountain to go snowboarding on the first day of the season instead.

Very worth it.

In order to earn my pass for the day, I had to shadow a lesson. I'm glad that I did because I learned a lot about instruction.

It was definitely a good day on the mountain.

So much powder.

In the words of Great Scott: "Gnar gnar, pow pow."

Upon returning home, some friends wanted to go down to Duvall for a little "get together." Went to that. Had a ball. Mixed white wine with peach four loco. Hahaha. It was actually delicious.

Thursday: Thanksgiving!

Made a turkey. Had a very small group of friends (and by small, I mean three).

We said things we were thankful for. Most of which was friends and family.

I am also thankful for glasses. Contacts are a luxury. But glasses? Those are a necessity. I would have for sure been knocked down by the survival of the fittest rule by now had it not been for glasses.


Saturday and Sunday:

Spent the weekend on the mountain learning how to be an instructor.

Learned lots. I really think this will be fun.

Took a picture:

Pretty sweet, huh?

Sissy cooked us dinner on Saturday night.

Turkey pot pie.

So good.

Good job Sissy. And thank you.

Sunday on the mountain, I learned how to ski.

In the morning, the new ski instructors taught the new snowboard instructors and in the afternoon, we taught the skiers. Just to get a feel for what a real lesson will be like.

Skiing was actually pretty fun. At first, I felt like a giant bird that had big bulky feet that I didn't know how to control. By the end of the lesson, I was mobbin down the slopes. Still felt awkward. But more confident and in control.

K.

So not as long as I thought it was going to be. Just a long span of time.
