Spring Break, Whoooo!

Marty and I couldn't wait for our spring break, we were definately ready for a break. Most people leave their homes and go on a vacation. We love staying here for the week and skiing. That is just what we did. We skied, slept in every morning, and spent time with my in-laws who were here to visit.

We even took my father-in-law skiing. Howard did great!




A few months ago Marty and I picked out a kitchen table we loved from Pottery Barn. We didn't have to spend the insane amount of money to buy it. We just put in our request to Marty's dad, and "poof" he built it and brought it out to our house last week. It looks great in our kitchen and now we have room for our friends and family to sit, eat, and have good times. Thanks again dad!



Here I am with my student Connor. He and his dad called me on the mountain and we met up for a few runs. The little guy can rip! Of course it is a silly picture he's 5, and so am I sometimes!

Sweet Skiing In Steamboat Springs



One of my best friends and roommate from college, Emily, and her husband James came out to Colorado for a ski trip. We were so lucky that they were only 2 hours away from Carbondale. Marty and I took a little weekend getaway to go to Steamboat Springs to ski and hang out with Emily and James. We had a great time in the winter wonderland.

We are finally adding a new post on our page, sorry it took so long. We have been doing very well. School, our new home, and the amazing skiing conditions every weekend have us quite occupied. We have included some pictures of our new home. Marty and I bought a condo in Carbondale at the end of October. Lorrie, my wonderful mom, came out to Colorado for a week and helped us move in and repaint the entire condo. We love our place! Work is going well for the both of us, we love our new home (right in town with a view of Mt. Sopris out our kitchen window), and we have had a great winter. Marty and I have had numerous powder days this winter, 2 of them school was even cancelled! Now that we only have a few weeks of spring skiing left and two more months of school, we are looking forward to another Colorado summer filled with mountain biking, backpacking, and fun with friends!
