I have NO idea what the heck my blog is doing with this whole font change but I'd rather not waste time figuring it out- so here it is...simply stated! :)
Probably the highlight of our year was getting to go skiing with friends! We had been planning the trip for like 6 months, I requested off of work way back, starting saving, and when it finally came, we were so excited! The best way to spend our Christmas/b-day money- so thanks fam! I worked the 26th and the 27th and when I got off of work on the 27th we hopped in the car and didn't get out until we were in Colorado the next day! Yikes- long drive but luckily I was exhausted after working and slept pretty well in the car. We drove to meet Colby's sister Kaylan and Austin in Lubbock and since Austin is a paramedic on night shift, he drove the rest of the way overnight! Seriously- he was amazing to drive so much! We were very grateful! It was awesome to get up to the mountains, to see the beautiful landscapes of God's creation, to relax and spend time with friends, but oh my goodness was it cold!!
Warning- lot of pictures- but I love them! :)
Hey Kaylan!
Austin- our fearless driver!
Andrew and Colb rocking the glasses after being in the car all night
Hilarious! And let's face it- we all looked like this at some point! Love you Andrew!
After we got there and got settled into the condo- we went sledding!!!
First round didn't go so well- haha!
"Colby! Ahhh....Colby! COLBY!" - Me screaming down the hill
My "it's not fun unless there's a waiver" husband getting some air
In one piece! And Cold!
Colb and Andrew
Our condo was right by the lake- it was gorgeous!
So so pretty
We went to the Dam Brewery on the first night for some yummy food!
Group Shot- Keystone 2010!!

Us freezing on the lift- on day 2 (but it was like 8 degrees that day-no worries)
How Great is our God!
He can move the mountains!
He is Mighty to Save!
The trees are God's great alphabet:
With them He writes in shining green
Across the world His thoughts serene.
With them He writes in shining green
Across the world His thoughts serene.

That's me in the green rockin' the snowboard- but oh my knees, not as young as I used to be, ha!
Starfire- a racy black on the last day with the town below
Austin and me- the lone boarders on the last day
Sweet- we look hardcore, huh? Not.me.
A break to warm up on the last day- it was so cold the camera lens was fogged completely over- this is my hat hair
The 4 troopers skiing on the last day. -19 degrees, -31 windchill! Crazy- um yes, my face was so frozen and it was the coldest I have ever rode in, but we had to make those lift tickets count! I might add that Kaylan broke her wrist on day 1 and Colby cracked his heels on day 2 so they couldn't come the last day but would have been there, sad! And yes, Colb is working those crutches seeing patients! :)
This is how all the evenings went- game nights! So fun! Love these friends!
Catch phrase- "say it ghetto- Dat sun!" :)
Ringing in 2011 a little early because we were tired!
The whole gang- great trip! Thank you Lord for that blessing!
