[Editor's Note: This post is being written after having imbibed copious amounts of cold medicine - I blame any typos, grammatical errors, etc. on my currently very spacy brain]
I know, I know. I haven't been great about the blogging thing lately. But I have been busy. And there has been a lot to talk about and it all became a little overwhelming.
First and foremost, I passed the bar. Yup, last week I received the joyous phone call that upon reviewing my exam, the good people at the Board of Law Examiners decided that I am indeed qualified to practice law in this state. While I am still not sure that I will ever actually USE said law license, I'm not going to lie, I am pretty freakin' happy to have passed. :)
After having weathered all sorts of "where do we spend the holidays?" drama, our little family decided to head to the mountains for our first Thanksgiving in Colorado. We staye at a friend's little cabin in Park County, took ski lessons and then skied two days at Breck, had Thanksgiving dinner at a bar, and drank copious amounts of microbrew. It was one of the best Thanksgivings ever.
Skiing .... having never done it before, and being a total chicken, I think i did pretty well. I have a harder time letting go than Josh does, and I'm sure I look incredibly nervous, but I can honestly say that its a lot of fun. I will admit that I have only been on the easiest of slopes and am not ready to step up the game much, but I think I will really enjoy it. We have plans (if my current snifflyness allows), to go both days this weekend which I'm super excited about. Every run gets better for me so by the end of Sunday I should be hitting the double black diamonds. Ok ... maybe not ....
Other than that, not much else is new here. We have been climbing in the gym quite a bit and are looking forward to finally getting outside. Climbing is by far my favorite thing I am doing right now - I absolutely LOVE it. If I'm feeling well enough we are going to hit the gym with some friends tonight.
Ok, this cold medicine is making it increasingly difficult to form coherent thoughts, so I am going to sign off. Hope you all had a very happy Thanksgiving!
