Crossing The Finish Line....

We headed to Aspen this weekend for another Smartwool race. One GS and one slalom at the Highlands. Stella has had a bit of a hard time finishing this season (I've definitely been there) and the GS on Saturday was no different. Not for a lack of trying, she's been working on getting across that finish line but the 4th to last gate proved to be the end of her day. Full on yard sale, tangled in the gate, a bruised hip and ego. I gotta give it to the girl though, even through the tears there were smiles and the fire to do it better next time!!! On to today.....Stella has yet to finish a slalom this season but TODAY was her day! No more starting with 990 points. Whew!! First run she started third from last and definitely attacked from the back. Whether or not she finished today I am one proud mama but I will say.......I am happy for the kiddo!!! Wooooooooo!!!!!

10 pairs of skis, 5 boot bags, 5 pairs of poles, 5 girls, 2 adults and one PACKED Tahoe!!! GO TBK!

Have to give a shout out to my Mollie, my BBF (yes even in my late 30's I have a BBF and will until the day I die) she blew her knee out two weeks ago when they were out here visiting us. A beautiful bluebird day in Vail, front side groomers on our last run of the day heading to Pepi's for some beer and strudel. She is one tough cookie! After packing it in, she picked herself up, skied down, had that strudel and beer and still had this smile on her face.  Sending her LOTS of love, light, a swift surgery and lots of healing vibes!!! xoxo

Love and Gratitude!

Change.....

It's time for a change.  I've been wanting to switch blog platforms for quite sometime and just wasn't finding the right one but thanks to a dear friend of mine I was turned onto squarespace. It's taken a minute or two to figure out this new platform but I'm loving it. I've imported all the old content from this blog and am ready to roll. In short, I've moved to a new neighborhood!!! Woot!  I'm humbled that even one person reads my ramblings but when my numbers started hitting the 1000's on a monthly basis I was blown away. For those of you who read this with love, THANK YOU and for those who don't THANK YOU as well. My gratitude runs deep for all of you...... Hope to see you here: www.linda-rokos-watts.squarespace.com

Just say no to mud season.....

It just won't stop!!  We were kinda hoping it would just long enough for Troy to get out of Summit County and on the west side of GlenWood Springs before another big storm came in.  Nope. Didn't happen. It's mud season and nothing unusually or unexpected and I'm sure we will get one or two more storms but.....BOOOOOO!!! Our backyard is pretty beautiful right now!  Bike all packed and ready to go!  We had a few great dinner parties this weekend and I can't say that I'm too bummed Troy isn't on the road. Sunday's snuggled up together watching movies while it dumps outside isn't so awful! Hope you'll are having a fabulous weekend!  Love and Gratitude!

Weekend Madness!!

WHEW!!!! What a weekend! We got so much work done on the house! We started on Friday and worked pretty much straight through till tonight. With the exception of one little break for a small Halloween party for a few hours. The old kitchen counters. Ewww ! All the tile on the counters couldn't be pulled off without pulling all the plywood up so we decided to demolish it all and start fresh. We put down all new sub-flooring before the tile was to go down. It was kinda a pain in the butt but it made the tile laying much easier and level. With all the sub-flooring laid on Saturday, it was finally time to lay the tile today! Tuesday the grout gets put in and by Thursday we should be walking on it. Woot ! This weekend I also got Stella's room finally done. The colors look great. It's going to be a very warm and cozy room. Pictures of that soon! Hope everyone had a wonderful weekend, and a fun Halloween! Much Love!
