Another spectacular weekend has come and gone...bliss! Two days of big snow skiing, a clean house, all the laundry done, oh and did I mention the skiing!?! hehe Here are the tid bits.....I've been meaning to write about this little red book for quite some time. What it contains is very special and who I got it from is even more special. It just represents how blessed I am to have the people I have in my life. Cryptic enough?!? Ha Another tid bit....I did some reorganizing of my house this weekend and ended up with an empty wall. What use to be here found a better place in the house and now I'm left with finding another really great piece to occupy this space. Until then it's going to remain empty! And, it always comes back to the skiing.... in the trees, knee deep, and happy! Stella and her two favorite coaches. Nate and Elizabeth! Oddly enough, I use to coach Nate when he was a J2 and J1. I was standing on the side of the hill the other day on coaches knoll watching ...

We were driving home the other day and snapped this shot from my cell, how blessed are we to be in such a beautiful spot ! Boulder at its finest! Stella and I on a really cold snow day at Eldora ! Excited about our future, but extremely grateful for the happiness and the opportunities we have RIGHT NOW! Much Love

....make skiing just that much BETTER!!! Just sayin ! Much LOVE!

It doesn't get much better then today. The sun was shinning, the air was warm, the snow was hard, the training was fantastic and Stella was kicking some MAJOR booty! Stella in the gate with one of her favorite coaches, Nate! Shredding! Stella and her best-buddy Gracie. Truly blessed to have days like this. Makes me love skiing even more (if that's even possible ) Much, much LOVE!

Today's groove.... Much love.

The equivalent of the Olympic Games for athletes enrolled in colleges and universities around the world held every other year, the games officially start Thursday and end on February 6. A total of 1,880 athletes and 850 officials from 22 sports are participating in the games from a record 57 countries. "The World University Games gives athletes an opportunity for global competition in an Olympic or Pan-Am Games-type situation," Rokos said. "It's the perfect opportunity for all involved to measure mutual strengths and weaknesses. We will continue to train for our ultimate goal of the NCAA Championships while we are here, but this is both an athletic and social event on the level of the Pan-Am Games or the Olympic Games."
