Me Loves some Ski



So I've been bugging dustin probably since way back to the early weeks we met that I want to go skiing! He always says how much we wants to go also and it would be fun....but in our 6 year history we had never gone...until last night! To cut dustin a break, he was concerned it would bother his knee, so we definitely couldn't go the first year or 2 when he had his surgery. Anyways, we had SO much fun and I think we'll go again cause his knee is okay today. I just want to say that I counted 5 times where dustin fell and zip, zero, zilch for me...except I landed on the ground once buy i was just standing still and terry plowed over the back of my skis, so that doesn't really count. Dustin and I are pretty much the same level, so we liked the same slopes, he just goes a tad faster than me most the time. We ride the lift up to attempt our first hill. I tell him that I'm going to go pretty slow until I get the feel of it and for him to try and somewhat stick by me, not just see me at the bottom. Well, literally 30 seconds later he is FLYING past me. So I'm dying laughing cause either he is really good or just took off out of control. So I ski a little more at my turtle pace and look up and see dustin laying on the ground about 1/3 from the bottom and his skis are off, etc. He completely wiped out and his pants fell halfway down as he slid down head first...imagine someone diving into home base. Hahahaha...it was great. Here are some pics...couldn't resist and had to post one of dustin walking back up the hill to get his ski from another wipeout. It's dark, but that's him. He's soooooooo sore today from that fall too!

Dancing with the stars


Sooooooo...tonight I went to see the Dancing with the Stars show with my sister. First, we have had super ridiculous freezing temperatures since yesterday, so it was not a good night to be out and about. Well, there is a shuttle that picks us up right across from Dustin's....so we get over there and find out there is no shuttle for this event. Great. So Missy thinks we can just walk, so we do and I seriously BARELY made it there. My legs just felt numb and frozen- so awful. But then the good news-- our seats were in row D and they didn't seat anyone in the first 2 rows and we had direct front view of the stage! Then lady with big hair sits down in front of me and can't see a thing- go figure. So we decide to just move to the first row...and that's where we got to sit then! The show had some hokey parts to it...like Lance doing an N Sync bit and declaring his love for Cloris, the old lady on DWTS. But overall it was entertaining and we had a good time. Then dustin came to the rescue and so sweetly picked us up so we didn't have to brave the cold again! My fave couple by far was Lacey and Lance. Lacey was on one of my favorite shows- So You Think You Can Dance...so it's really cool to see her switch over and be considered a pro now on this show. Now I gotta get addicted to America's Best Dance Crew!

Chair Mission- Successful!

Woo-hoo! We went out shopping tonight and Garden Ridge had our chairs in stock, so we picked them up...and even convinced Dustin we should get 2. Unfortunately you must assemble yourselves and big surprise, Dustin is not feeling up to doing that tonight. I did at least set part of it next to our furniture and it matches almost exactly to the same shade as our existing stuff, so I am super pleased! They also had tons of good xmas stuff on sale. I got some reed diffusers and lots of candles. Not sure why I'm buying more candles when I was trying to get rid of all of them at the engagement party, but these were really cool candles for like $1-$4 and quite large pillars with glittery decorations on them...not even christmasy looking. Hopefully tomorrow I can post pics of our new chairs in the living room!

HELLO 2009!

I'm thinking my resolution should be to be a better blogger. So this will probably last for 2 days! Anyways, Christmas was good and it's been nice relaxing and having a little time off work. I got a new camera (which I've been wanting for a loooooooong time), an awesome scrapbook missy made of our engagement party, some video games, some bridal magazines that I can't stop looking through and lots of other great stuff! Last night we just went to a friends house for NYE and played guitar hero world tour and some cabookii. I really like the guitar hero version, but it's probably just because i'm sick of the songs on rockband.

I'm treating myself to the following present either today or tomorrow. I've been wanting more seating at dustin's in the living area because we only have a couch and chair-- which is a little tight when we have anybody over. I like the look of these brown armless chairs and had found them on sale at Garden Ridge a few weeks ago while xmas shopping. Anyways, I checked the online ad today and they are down to $99- almost half price! Now I think I can convince dustin we need to get 2! They are reasonably comfortable, so works for me!
