Spring Break Skiing

We got yesterday off school for spring break and I told Sean that we should do something fun. I have been wanting to go skiing for awhile now. We found some discount tickets to Sundance on KSL and decided to go! We rented skiis (well Sean got a snowboard) with some 50% off coupons, got a subway foot long and headed up. Sean has been boarding twice but not since high school and I went skiing on a field trip in fifth grade so we are not the most experienced... I had no clue what the heck I was supposed to do...but we rode up the lift.

We were getting to the top and I got a little scared. As soon as we got off I started screaming and then me and Sean both crashed right there on the ground.... supposedly I tripped him with my pole... The lady working at the chair lift comes out and says, "skier, do you need some tips?" HAHA yeah... not sure what gave it away. So she taught me the pizza and french fries. The first time down the mountain I went super slow...no french fries for me... but no falling. The next few times I got faster and faster. I was feeling pretty confident. It was so fun! Sean had a few good falls and rolls. Eventually we tried the "more difficult" hill. My turn for a few crashes. I would just get going too fast and I couldn't seem to slow down. Sean was good at getting right up after a fall but it would take me like 10 minutes. It was just so hard for me to get my skiis back on and stand up for some reason. Sometimes I would resort to sliding down hills on my bum... I felt a lot more confident on the other mountain! I could go fast on that one. One fall though I jammed my thumb or something. It hurt pretty bad. Later Sean played doctor and pulled it back into position. Today it still hurts and has a nasty bruise. By the time it was like 3:00 my legs were so tired. We went to the car and ate our sandwiches for a break before we did our last few runs. It was such a fun day! We had a great time! Skiing is fun. Beautiful day! Today we are pretty sore and have bright red faces but it was all worth it! :)

Nine Months

We have already been married nine months! Super crazy! The past nine months have been so great and gone by so fast, and yet so slow at the same time. Sean and I are both busy working and going to school. I officially have 13 days of class left until I GRADUATE! WHOO I'm super excited! I will be done with school. That's a crazy thought. Graduation is April 30th. I applied for a full-time job here on campus doing web development and fun stuff like that. Right now I have a bunch of random jobs:

• I work on campus part-time doing web stuff
• I clean a ladies house twice a week
• I teach two boys piano lessons
• I teach two tap dance classes
• I teach two little kid intro dance classes
• I'm the assistant director for my mom's dance studio
• I run the Chick-fil-A facebook page
• and I occasionally babysit for 3 different families

Crazy life! I'm really loving teaching dance and piano right now. It is so fun!

Sean works full-time at Chick-fil-A as the night manager. He is also going to school full-time. He works so hard. It makes a busy life for him. He is at work or school all day everyday till like 11:00 at night. Except he usually gets Friday nights off and we have a date night! After this semester, Sean has one year left. He will graduate a year from April in business management.

Sean and I teach Sunbeams together. Best calling ever! I really love it. The little kids are just so cute. Man, sometimes they say the funniest things. Here is a picture of our class from last year. In January we got a new group.

Somewhere in all our free time these last nine months, we have gotten hooked on two TV series. First it was the Office. We watched all 5 seasons during the summer. Now we are caught up and every Thursday night when Sean gets home from work we find the new episode and watch it online. Pam and Jim just had their baby!!! YAY!! ps Sean IS Michael Scott.

Our new obsession is Lost. All the episodes are online. We started season 1 about a month ago and now we are in the middle of season 5. We are totally hooked. We planned to be caught up by the season finale in 10 weeks. Season 6 is the final season. It's looking like we should be caught up in a few weeks. LOST is so crazy and intense and weird. But we like it.

One last update... We now own 2 cars! Much to Sean's delight, we just bought the Miata (Sean's first love) from his parents. I do love riding around in that car in the summertime! But I am mostly happy that I don't have to go pick up Sean from work every night. That is nice.
