Big News!

Rory and I realized the other day that most of our friends are pregnant now or have already had babies and we decided to jump on the bandwagon. So we bought a car!! It's sort of like a kid.... I think it's cute and can't stand to think of him getting hit by a car... ok, it's not really that much like a real baby. He's a 2009 Nissan Versa hatchback and had 57 miles on him when we bought him. His name is Chaucer although sometimes we call him the man mobile since Rory gets to drive him to work.

Goal Accomplished!

Rory and I have wanted to snowboard the Jackson pass for a few years now but never got around to actually doing it. This year we finally did! We went with our friends Wade and Katie and their little baby Aubrey. We just bundled her up and rolled her down the hill. Actually, we took turns babysitting her in the car. This top picture is where we hiked up to at the beginning of the run.
Looking down the hill to our destination. The whole run ended up being about eight miles long. On average it took us 40 minutes to get down. We did about three runs. By the end of the day my legs were so shot I could hardly control my board. It was great!

Wade and Katie being super excited to get going.

We were excited too.

The powder was soooo deep! It was really hard (for me) to stay up. But it wasn't bad falling down because it never hurt. It was getting up that was the problem.
