Snowboarding...my therapy!

With all that Jaime & I have been through the last month we felt it was time to take a break & enjoy some quality time together. What better way to do that than sharing in our favorite pastime...SNOWBOARDING!!!

I have to tell you I wasn't the biggest fan of the sport when I first started. I actually hated it! I had no idea how different it was from skiing. I figured I'd catch on without a problem considering I knew how to ski. Boy was I wrong! They are two totally different sports. I spent my first season boarding the wrong way! I guess that may have been the reason why I didn't seem to get it. I just couldn't figure out what I was doing wrong but I was determined. After a few trips into the 2nd season we finally decided to try switching my stance and viola...it worked! I'm not shredding the gnar =) or doing crazy stunts but I really enjoy it now. It's definitely therapeutic for me. I think the best part about it is that it's something Jaime and I both love & can do together.

So...our first trip of the season was to Northstar. We were hoping it would be a nice day considering how crazy the weather has been but we had no idea how lucky we'd be. The day was PERFECT! Not a cloud in the sky! We were enjoying ourselves so much we didn't realize the time. Before we knew it the day was over and we had to go back to reality! =(

I always enjoy our trips up the mountain & hope to we can get in a couple more. Here are a few pics I thought I'd share.

Life...

God grant me the Serenity to accept the things I cannot change...

I swear that prayer is the story of my life right now! First off, I just want to thank our family & friends for all the support & prayers through this difficult/challenging time in our lives. Unfortunately, life just isn't fair sometimes. I feel like no matter how hard I try to think positive things NEVER seem to go our way. I know God has a plan for us and that our prayers will be answered eventually but my patience is starting to run really thin. Life just isn't turning out the way I imagine it would but I'm trying to keep the faith & stay strong. I know God would never give us more than we could handle but I tend to doubt that from time to time. He's definitely testing us right now and I know I just need to stop with all the why me/us questions. I can only hope & pray that things will turn around for us soon & that we can finally have our one wish...to be parents! Ugh! Just the thought makes me soooo emotional. Let me take a minute to breath before the tears start falling.

Ah...ok...sorry! Let's switch it up a bit shall we...I didn't mean to get all emotional but I just can't help it sometimes. I guess I should try to look at the upside of things...my marriage has changed a lot but for the better! I am sooo grateful to have such a wonderful husband going through this with me! Jaime has been very supportive and has been my rock to lean on. I don't know what I'd do without him! Whenever I'm down he's there to cheer me up & he always stays positive no matter what the outcome may be. I wish I could be more like him! One thing I know for sure is that this situation has definitely strengthened our marriage. I've heard people say when couples go through a trying time like this it can ruin their relationship. Lucky for us it's just the opposite! Even though we've been together for 10 years this is the closest we've ever been. Hopefully our prayers will be answered soon. I know it's all in God's hands and I need to leave it up to him!
