When it hurts to look back, and you're scared to look ahead, you can look beside you and your best friend will be there.

Spring Break 2010

Brett and I got to spend the weekend with Mom & Ray for my birthday. We went shopping, went to the movies, and ate great food! On Monday Brett and I went mountain biking on the Green Valley Loop in St. George which took us about two hours.  On Tuesday, Brett went golfing with a friend at Sand Hollow and I went for my own little mountain biking adventure in the hills behind the condo.  On Wednesday we headed back to Cedar City and went skiing and snowboarding at Brianhead.

Brett used to go snowboarding a lot, but also knows how to ski really well.  I grew up skiing and have always wanted to learn how to snowboard just for fun, so Brett was patient enough to spend 3/4 of the day trying to teach me how to snowboard.  After the day was over, I was shaky and hurt all over. I felt like I had just completed the first week of training back with the track team at the University.  But, I had to redeem myself a little, so I switched into skis and flew down a few runs right before we left.

Brett showed off some of his snowboarding skills I had never seen before and I got to be the photographer.  I realized that I have always taken for granted the ability to go wherever I want and as fast as I want on skis.  I don't really remember all the learning years and am so thankful my parents took me out to learn when I was young!
