to learn to snowboard... attempt one.

this is not crossed off the list yet. because i didn't learn how to snowboard. i'm trying though.
i did go down the hill, holding on to my oh so patient teacher, lyle, for dear life.

we all know it was about the outfit anyway. kidding. sort of. i just thought i would make a cute snowbunny. turns out, i do.
it was about more than fashion though. it was about finding a way to not loathe winter. finding new fun things to do with friends. trying new things during this year of new beginnings.

i was thinking this morning about other people i may have tried to learn from over the years. other people who may have been willing to teach me (or other people who said they would take me and leave me at the top of the hill). in my head it looks like a recipe for disaster. yet this experience, this first attempt, was a laughter filled day.

it's a work in progress, my oh so sore body can attest to that. yet i'm looking forward to attempt number two. maybe, just maybe, i'll try going down the hill by myself next time. i make no promises.
