So happy

 

Seeing this at the bottom of the stairs makes me so happy!!  Really it makes me giddy every time I go down.  We bought skis for all of us a month or so ago in anticipation for our very first family ski trip!  I can’t even tell you how excited this makes me.  This is a huge milestone for us….Ryan has never ever been even the smallest bit excited about skiing since we’ve been married.  For me skiing is one of my very favorite family memories as a kid and now as an adult.  I have the fondest memories of skiing at Bogus Basin with the family and going off with friends finding all the “secret” tree trails.  I’m want my kids to have the same love for it as I do. 

Ryan’s a gear guy and it turns out all it took to get him excited about it was to get him his own equipment.  We got it all on craigslist so it hardly cost us anything, which also added to his excitement,  and now he is super excited to give skiing another try!  My wildest dreams are coming true.
