Another Fantastic Denver Weekend!

This time I spent 4 days in Denver! We met up with 2 friends of ours for a weekend of skiing. We spent the entire time at Steamboat Springs. Which was an amazing place to visit. I know that Dave and I will be back many times for some weekend trips. It snowed all throughout our first day on the slopes. Which made for a great second day...lots of powder. The best part was that I was in pretty good form that day. I seriously felt like I could do anything that day. After skiing lots of powder and in the trees. We decided to try a double black diamond! It was a blast! We were all kind freaked at first. But we all survived. I made it down and never fell. We actually ended up going down 2 double blacks that day. I'm really proud of all four of us for doing it.

This is what the chutes are like! (not my photo, just one that I found online)

The Olympics and other Random Stuff

Realizing I don't blog to much anymore, huh.

This week is kind of sad, as the Olympics started and we are not there. Our original vacation plan was to go to Vancouver for 2 weeks. I loved our Scandinavian vacation, but I am really missing the Winter Olympics. It is so hard to believe that we were in Italy just 4 years ago and heading to the Olympics. Today is valentines day and I clearly remember us having dinner in Florence, Italy on V- Day. I loved everything about being at the Olympics. I really want to make sure we can focus hard on going to Russia in 4 years.

At the same time I don't know how I could have gone on a 2 week vacation at this point, since there is a possibility that I could be moving in weeks! So I guess everything may have been a blessing in disguise.

Why did we not go - it just wasn't as easy to plan as Torino was.

So yes, I could be moving to Denver soon. Keeping my fingers crossed.
