New BOA Boots

Well, since we have been boarding about every weekend in Feb because it's our new favorite hobby, I thought it was a good idea to retire my used/old rental snowboard boots and buy some bad ass new ones. This is amazing for a few reasons. 1. only my feet will be/have been in them 2. K2 rocks 3. they are purple and black and match my jacket.  4. There is no reason not to be stylish on the slopes. 

I am so stoked to try them out. 

.... off to Whitetail.

Happy 9th Birthday Cammie!

Our sweet little puppy is 9 today. Gosh.. time has gone by so fast!

We love you poodle!! Happy Birthday! Here's to 9 more!

Valentine's Day as a Mrs.

Since B and I went to Wisp this past weekend (and are going to Snowshoe next weekend), we decided to stay in and watch Mad Men, drink wine & eat great food. I had a super amazing plan of making a prime rib roast with potatoes, onions and carrots, salad, wine and dessert.  Well, all would have gone according to plan if teeter would have had prime rib.  Apparently they didn't. But I secretly think that the man in the white butcher robe didn't know what I was asking for.  He was just grabbing hand fulls of shrimp for the rest of the people in line... 

When I got home from the grocery the laundry was started, the dishwasher unloaded and our snow gear was put away.  There was also a certain teal/blue bag containing that special blue/teal box and 2 cupcakes sitting precisely on the dining room table. :) Surprise for sure!! B got me a pair of Tiffany silver ball earrings to match the necklace and bracelet set that I have an wear allll the time. The earrings immediately went in my ears. (I got Brett a puzzle! I made it from one of our honeymoon pictures to remind us what a fab time we had.  It will also give us another activity to do together and then we can frame/hang it up!)

I bought Filet Mignon.  It was so worth it and I'm actually glad they didn't have stupid rib roast. I used my Kitchen Aid mixer (BEST invention ever btw) to make cheddar mashed potatoes.  It was the first time I've used it since B got it for me for my B-day.  I have to admit I was a little intimidated at first- but let me tell you- that is no more.  I will be using this bad-girl for everything!!! Din was delicious. Maybe I can be a housewife ;) .... someday. 

All in all- a fabulous first MARRIED V-day.

I love being a Mrs. 

Valentine's Day at Wisp

This past weekend B, Kell, Nick and I went to Wisp to snowboard.  We had such a fabulous time!! 

We all celebrated V-Day on Sat- on the mountain.  We started on the bunny hill to gain some confidence and to try and figure out what we were doing.. Eventually we went down some greens and then worked our way back to the bunny hill to practice some control.

On Sat night we went to a restaurant called Santa Fe Grill.  It was pretty good and we were starving having only eaten hotel breakfast in the morning.  Needless to say we were exhausted from riding 10-4.. and after dinner we were in bed by 9:30.  

On Sunday we had a lesson with Kell's instructor from the day before.  He was an insanely great teacher and really helped us figure out what we were doing and what we were doing wrong.  He helped us work on our toe side turns and by the end of the session B and I were connecting 3 and 4 turns using heel side and toe side!! It was such a super feeling after falling down the mountain the day before.  

Each day is an improvement from the last..which makes this up coming weekend so very exciting.
