A Blue Day

Yesterday Heath and I rode the ski train from downtown Denver up to Winter Park and skied all day. I was feeling more comfortable since I had just skied the day before, so we skied greens in the morning, and after lunch we headed up to some blues. We went back to the Vasquez Ridge area, which is usually not busy because most people don't know how to get there. When Kelly and I went skiing, we did one blue back there called Stagecoach, so even though I thought that was really steep I decided to try it out. We talked to people at the lift who said that one was the easiest, so I felt okay. Then we got to the area where Stagecoach branches off...and it's closed. I thought that one was pretty hard, so I was a little worried. As it turns out, Stagecoach seemed to be the hardest of them all (or maybe I was just feeling more confident). It was so much fun...I'm now a blue skier! It opens up so much more of the mountain, and it's only a matter of time before I turn black!

Last night after skiing, my intramural volleyball team and some other friends went downtown to play pool. It was a lot of fun, and I had a revelation. I'm not ready to share that with the world yet, but it made me really happy and I haven't been able to stop smiling or thinking about it all day. This weekend has been one of those weekends...it has been full of fun and adventure, and it's made me feel like my life is going exactly the way it should be. So I'm so happy!! :-)
