Spring break!!

Since I have returned to school I was able to go on Spring Break this year! It was great! Karilee and I went on Thursday to CO Springs and were able to visit with Will's oldest brother Ron and his family and spend some time at Focus on the Family where Ron works. It was really meaningful to get to meet people who had prayed for Will and I and those who are continuing to pray for us. Adam met us the next day and we drove to Denver to meet up with some of his Cornell buddies. We had a yummy meal at the Cheesecake factory before heading out to the mountains to see Gail and Terri and their families! We spent the next day just hanging out with the McCrerys and Dillinghams and their nine kids. There is always something to do! We went to the hot springs and enjoyed the natural hot tub:-)
The next day Adam, Karilee, and I drove to Monarch ski resort to try our hand at snow sports. It was Adam and Karilee's first time in a long time to ski so I decided to try skiing for the first time in 12 years. I have been snowboarding for a long time I guess! They did great and Adam was ready to head to the green slopes after an hour which was OK with me. We were on blues by the end of the day. I think he had the skiing bug bite him while we were there which means there might be another trip next year!

We left a day early because of the predicted snow. Ends up they did get 2-4 inches which since we had a V-4 Mazda we would not have made it over the pass. It again was a great time to spend with family and friends and I am looking forward to the crew coming out in May!!
