To ski or snowboard...... that is the question!

Snowboarding trip 2007

One of the MANY reasons why Christian wanted to move to Truckee is because of his love for snowboarding. He LOVES it! He wanted me to LOVE it...... but every time he took me I ended up crying at the top of the mountain!

Experience one: Christian and I had just met and he invited me to Linnette's Cabin to "get to know me better". I wasn't sure if I liked him yet but I was defiantly interested. Since I didn't have any snow gear I ran into Pac Sun and bought the first thing I saw..... big mistake! Everything was way to big and my pants practically fell off the first time off the lift. By the end of the day I was so uncomfortable and frustrated. Christan was so amazing and never left my side. He kept encouraging me and telling me I was doing good.... I, in turn, yelled at him to leave me alone and started crying. (I have NO idea why he stuck around after that!)

Experience two: We had just got engaged and I wanted to surprise Christian with a snow weekend for his birthday. Our friends, JOE and HOLLY and BRANDON and JENNY all came up to Linnette's cabin for the weekend! It was so fun! However, I STILL sucked at snowboarding and kept falling down. But I was determined not to ruin the trip for Christian, so when I fell super hard and Christian asked if I was Okay.... I said "Yep!" But when we got home and I couldn't move my wrist my mom suggested I get X-ray's. I had broken my wrist.... and it hurt bad! The worst part about it was that I had to wear a cast for my wedding! Or I was suppose to anyways.... =)

This year I decided I am going to ski instead. We volunteered at the local Ski Swap and got some really awesome stuff at a good price! We decided to practice putting our gear on as soon as we got home. Squawlly World here we come!
