More Evidence I learned to Snowboard...

...for those of you who are a bit skeptical. ;)

Okay, so this was before I had even tried to stand up on the thing...

No, I didn't spend the whole day on my backside.

Here it is: the proof--of course you can't tell that I'm moving, but I promise, I was. I made it down the big hill three times, so I had to have been moving. ;)


Me and my wonderful teacher and best friend! :D

Birthday Snowboard Adventure

So, this year for my birthday I decided to use my free lift ticket to try snowboarding. Aaron was my patient, willing teacher.

My family spent the weekend up at my aunt and uncle's cabin at Lake Arrowhead, so Friday morning Aaron and I headed over to the resort at Big Bear Lake--about 45 min. away. We had a great time and I even learned to snowboard to boot! ;) Friday night we celebrated my birthday with the family and I was pleasantly surprised to receive gifts from some of my family-to-be as well. My new nieces made me the sweetest cards!

My parents stayed back at the cabin--they've never wanted to ski or snowboard. Unfortunately, Ryan was feeling under the weather so he opted to sleep in and work on his truck in preparation for starting Lineman college on Monday.

Saturday morning Ryan took off for his 3 & 1/2 month training course in Northern California. After we finished cleaning the cabin, Aaron, my parents and I headed home to San Diego.

Saturday night we enjoyed this beatiful sunset--what a lovely way to end a fun weekend!
