Making up for Lost Time
Sorry for the lack of blog posts over the past couple of weeks. In my priorities of life, social media and the interweb take a back seat to face to face interaction with the people I love.
Over the past two weeks I have had the opportunity to go to Phoenix to spend some time with my beautiful and loving fiancé. Then, this past weekend Kanakuk Colorado invaded Winter Park. Well, at least the guys side of K-CO did. We had sixteen guys up here on Friday and Saturday night spending time in communion with each other. I am positive that these times are the elixir of life. Without times like these and friends like these guys, life simply would not be the same.
I am prayerfully thankful for the people in my life, starting with my fiancé, my family and my wonderful friends. I could not ask for anything more. But in the light of my missed posts, here is a list of the new things I have done over the last couple of weeks.
February 9: Got to see the place at which I will be married on May 28.
February 10: Met with wedding photographers today for the first time and ate at El Zocalo, where the rehearsal dinner will be.
February 11: Took my valentine to Sassi tonight for an early Valentine’s day dinner. She is so beautiful!
February 12: Not anything spectacularly new today. I got to spend the whole day with my lovely bride-to-be and in the process fell in love with her deeper. And with her, every day is a new day.
February 13: I flew on a plane on Friday the 13th today and didn’t die. That’s a first.
February 14: Taught a level 4 lesson in snowboarding today. This means I get to goof off with my kids all day and take them down tree runs and blue runs! How exciting.
February 15: So today I turned a downhill corner a little too quickly and successfully completed six fishtails in a row. Never again, hopefully.
February 16: Spent the entire day researching jobs to apply for in San Diego. I have a feeling there will be many days like this in the future.
February 17: First time I have attended an overtime hockey game. I was really hoping that it went to a shootout, but nonetheless, the Avalanche pulled it out and scored to beat one of the worst teams in the league.
February 18: Took some skills tests from one of the employers I am looking into. Truly, it was probably the first knowledge tests I have taken since the SATs and ACTs.
February 19: Bought plane tickets to go on my honeymoon!
February 20: Truly was the first time that we had more people staying at the mountain house than we had beds. That’s awesome!
February 21: Laughed way too much at dinner with all of the kamp guys. Unbelievable night.
February 22: Was one of the best days of actual riding I have had all year. I got to board with Sam Duregger and Jamie Norman for the first time today.
February 23: I had only two kids in my lesson today. One was the best kid I have ever had and one was the worst kid I have ever had (in terms of attitude). Today was the first day I have had to call a kid’s parents to tell them to come pick them up. He had such a poor attitude that he could not do anything without crying. Also saw Slumdog Millionaire for the first time tonight. One of the best movies I have seen in a long time.
February 24: Ate at the Star of India here in Winter Park for the first time today. They have an all you can eat lunch buffet! Also, I am pretty positive that half the Indian restaurants in the United States are called “The Star of India.”
