Christmas, Santa and Skiing

So this year has defiantly been one of the craziest years ever. We have found ourselves creating new lives and most of all falling in love. The best thing this year has given me is a husband, a love to call my own, a light and rock in my life. The Lord has blessed me with so much and josh is a HUGE one.

But when it gets around that time of the year where everyone is starting to think about what their life, and year, has been like. It's Christmas time people. We start thinking what the heck have I done this year? And why has it gone so fast? I really know my year is over when I get to come back to my hometown, vist all my brothers and their families and get top ski. No this year is a bit different because I have a guy with me. The most wonderful guy in the world I might add. this year josh and I have made a wager, that when we went skiing that he would try to ski, those were the terms. I won't go into the 'bet' details, but it was pretty awesome... So to make a long story short, he lost. So he had to ski, well once we got up to the mountain this morning the power was OFF!! It was truly devastating. We waited and we waited, finally we hiked up the bunny hill , around 11 and I started to teach him the basics. He was pretty good. As soon as we got down the hill towards the lift, m.it started running so at least the whole day wasn't ruined. We had a great time ski and josh snowbaoarded. He's turning into a real pro. I like that he has no fear so even though he knew only how to turn a little he still went straight down the mountain. NO FEAR!! We made it until about 1:30 and we just were so tired that we headed home, well to Jon's home. We have had the perfect Christmas this year and have truly enjoyed being around family.

Having family and getting the chance to create the memories and 'ghosts' appear before us help us to remember that we are all kids in side, you don't have to know that Santa isn't real to be a grown up. Josh has taught me, and showed me that it is also my flaw, that I think that putting away the toys and forgetting about the good stuff doesn't make you an adult, it makes you boring. So your allowed to break out the Legos and the Barbies and just have a grand ole' time cause why the heck not! Live while you can and find joy in what your doing cause that's the point to living, not money not success but joy, true happiness.

Hope you all had a Merry Christmas and have a great New Year
