Big Snow!

Merry Christmas/Happy New Year! I decided to stay in Colorado for Christmas this year, and it's a good thing I did. A blizzard crippled the entire state last week - closing the Denver airport for 43 hours and forcing me to travel 'round town on my ol' cross country skis. My office closed for 2 1/2 days due to weather, so I was forced to sleep in, play in the snow, and bake Christmas cookies. It was quite the life! Christmas Eve was spent up in Estes Park enjoying a wonderful dinner with friends from church. On Christmas day, I managed to head up to the mountains for a morning of downhill skiing before jetting back to Boulder for Christmas dinner with friends.

I am looking forward to skiing with my family next week up in Breckenridge. Looks like we'll have plenty of snow!!!

Sweet Medicine

Meet Nik. We've been dating for almost 3 months now, which is nothing short of a record-breaking achievement for Miss Committment-Phobe, over here. But he's smart, he's cute, and he makes me laugh. And he's teaching me things about myself and about relationships that I never knew before. So I'm keeping him around. The following is a few of my lessons learned:

I am stubborn. (ok, I already knew this, but it's easier to deny when you're single)
Life is, in fact, more fun hand-in-hand with the top down (except in the winter).
There is very little that is worth fighting about, but there is a lot that is worth fighting for.
Sometimes it's okay to act like a girl (especially when throwing a football or wearing a red dress)

So there you have it. Happy Holidays!
