my buns are burning!

after my 2nd time of cross-country skiing, i definitely feel the burn/soreness in my buttocks and thighs. whooo weee! as a note, you get mighty sweaty cross country skiing. you might think it would be refreshing to wipe out and get snow kicked up on your back, but sadly it's only refreshing for about a minute as it turns into cold wetness. :(

i've had a good time here in colorado doing lots of different activities. i thought i would be bored out of my mind as nat and ethan went downhill skiing during the day, but i actually had a lot of indoor and outdoor fun. for indoors, nat's mom helped me start my first crocheting project (a baby afghan), i played video games with nat and ethan, played board games with the whole thompson clan, cooked, and watched lots and lots of football. :) for outdoors, i went cross country skiing (and still managed to freak out and wipe out going down little hills), snowshoeing, ice skating, and hiking. :)

i wish i could share the blue sky and this gorgeous mountain views with you. it is truly amazing and breath taking to see God's creation out here. nat and i couldn't help but sing worship songs as we snowshoed past a view of the continental divide. maybe one day you can join us out here!
