Well...it's been quite some time since I've braved the slopes of snow covered trails. This morning I awoke to the most radiant sunshine beaming in my room in months. I jumped out of bed and exclaimed, later realizing I was talking to myself..."OOoohH! Isn't it beautiful!?!?!?" Then I laughed and decided that priority #1 after devotional time and breakfast would be to enjoy God's beautifully created day. Sherri suggested we go skiing @ the highschool, so seeing her desire to exercise I agreed to go. We could get in a little sisterly bonding and work out all in 1 simple event. I was definately game!
So we get to the highschool and encounter this ginormous hill we have to go down to get to the trail. I stand at the top for a minute pondering how brave I truly am...and decide perhaps my body...which is out of "ski mode" would appreciate me starting out a little simpler...so with much reluctance I trodded down the hill in my skiboots and put on my skis at the bottom...which was flat and NOT coated in ice. I decided it was a good decision.
Sherri and I set off down the trails and about 30min. into our skiing we get our 1st hill...I'm pumped! Hills have always been my favorite thing to go down on skiis and yet I've never downhilled-strange, I know- but someday I shall try. Anyways back to the hill...so sherri is a bit ahead of me...her skiis are waxless and mine require wax, but had none, so that was fun...anyways I get going around this hill and am feeling pretty good about my skiing skills when I come around a sharp turn and find sherri face planted in a pile of snow...one ski pole up in the air...the other a good 5 or so feet away...so coming to an ever so graceful stop...I do what every loving, caring, big sister would do...I laughed like crazy and retrieved sherri's other pole for her. I asked her how she fell in the midst of my laughter, knowing full well that there was no traction on the sheet of ice upon which we were skiing. I laughed some more...and we continued on. So, we ski for about another 20 or so minutes and near the end of the trail...coming once again to another gargantuen hill. hahaha...i'm ready...swaying side to side, gliding down the hill...I'm loving the feeling of being a pro. Sherri is once again ahead of me and I watch her,laughing, as she is struggling to find balance between her body, the skis and the ground. She seems to catch on and all of a sudden falls sideways...I can hardly contain my laugher and zoom by her as my skiis catch ice. I'm now wondering if I too will fall...but I got the best of the ice and my skis...I didn't fall...I once again floated to a graceful stop.(surprisingly enough!)
And that is my skiing adventure...I hope no one assumes my skiing skills are superb...I do alright...but today I was lucky...I ususally don't fall...but today could've been the day...luckily it was sherri's day to eat snow! Have a fun filled day and if you're inside reading this and it's not past sundown...get outside and do something. God gave us a beautiful day! Enjoy it!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
That was SO me the other day.
That is so awesome :)
(And, no, Sherri, I am not making fun of you. Because then I would be making fun of myself)
Christy...the way you worded that made me laugh incredibly hard...
Hahah! Hey..if you read my blog it clearly states that it's been 2 or even 3 YEARS since I've been physically active on skis. I used to be pretty darn good too! You're lucky I'm not physically fit or else.. haha! I'd kick you're booty chica! Ahem. Anyway, yes, I have a bruise on my left knee to prove this all happened. It's a wonderous battle scar. Hip-Hip-Hooray! Christy you're SO good at storytelling. Ok. Peace out! God Bless!
You're Sister Who Just Happens To BE EXTREMELY HOTT N' SEXY AND GOOD AT EVERYTHING!!

HEY!! I was talking to Sherri and she told me that you had more details about the whole thing than what she had on hers so I figured I'd take a look. I've never gone skiing in any copacity so I wouldn't know anything about it, however I have been snow-shoeing. You guys should take me skiing sometime so that you can laugh at me instead of at each other :p.
God bless,
Aaron.
Aaron- we shall do that..sometime when you visit and there's snow on the ground,a group of us will go...and fall and laugh and be merry!
Rachellie-glad I could make you chuckle! :)
Sherri-Thanks for telling me I'm a good storyteller, I love stories and talking...so I suppose it's a good thing to be a good story teller if you love those two things. Please work on refraining yourself from publically saying you're hott and good looking. I love you my dear little sister and I think you're a beautiful young lady...but I don't think you have to reassure all the readers of my blog of that each time you comment!
