I'm at work sitting up...can't seem to sleep. It's about 11:15 pm my time. I haven't been sleeping much lately. My minds starts spinning thinking about all the mistakes I have made and how I have dragged Scott into all of it. I started thinking about Bekki's new blog. It's funny but the thought of posting brought some comfort. It's like I can talk to everyone at once...let out all my frustration and find support.
Thanks for the comments on my last blog. It is great to know that I have such a wonderful family who cares so much about my well being.
Other than our current housing situation, things are going phenominally for us. I just love being married. Scott is absolutely my best friend. It is so wonderful being together, planning our life together and knowing no matter how bad my day is there is always a hug and kiss waiting for me when I get home. He is truely amazing. I swear we are matched perfectly! (Actually on 29 dimensions of compatibility to be exact...he he he)
We did get a ski pass at Kirkwood Ski resort this year. We managed to get a full set of ski's for both of us by going to the ski swap in Reno. It is a great way to get cheap ski's--last years ski's at great prices. This years ski swap was particularly great because last years snow sucked so bad all the ski shops had lots of excess equiptment.
We have only been skiing once. I am learning that in my age I have become an absolute scaredy cat. I stuck completely to the bunny hill and once I got a little speed up, I would try and stop. I think my fear was more for the crowd on the hill. It's easy to feel out of control when you can't stop very quickly. I was so afraid I would take someone else out if I got going to fast and got out of control. Scott worked at Kirkwoood in high school and did a ton of skiing...like double black diamond runs. I don't think I was much fun to ski with for him, but he was incredibly patient. Then he went off to do a few real runs by himself. He got chance to go skiing the other day when I was working as well.
Speaking of work...not much new on that avenue. I am really blessed to have found such a great job. Especially since I sorta fell into it and didn't have to seek it out. I can't believe I only have to work 2 days a week to be full time. Since we have moved to Gardnerville, I haven't had to do any commuting either. It makes me so excited that I have such a great job, close to home and only 2 days a week. It will make having a family so much easier.
Last month we had some excitment. Scott was given the California Govenors Medal of Valor for saving a woman who was in a crash and got pinned in a freezing creek. It was quite the ceremony. It's so amazing how political everything in California is. Scott got to meet Arnold the govenator. I could have met him and Maria as well, but I just didn't want to fight the crowd for a picture and a hand shake. Scott met him on stage when he was being awarded the medal. After the medal ceremony, we went to the capital for the lighting of the capital Christmas tree. It was pretty neat. There were reserved seats up front next to the govenor for the medal of valor recipients and their families. We were quite suprised when Trisha Yearwood appeared on stage to sing a few songs!!! That was more exciting for us than anything else!
I'm feeling better, like I was able to visit with family. Maybe I can sleep now. I love all you guys!!!

Hi Sis. I know what you mean about being a chicken in "your age". I am overly cautious, although I have always been pretty cautious. We used to ski when we lived in Washington. It was a blast. It was so cute watching 5 year old Ashley barreling down the slopes. She was definitely braver than I was. I am so happy to hear about your job! That will be great when little Scott or Heather comes along!(I can't wait by the way!) I love you!
I know what those sleepless nights feel like, and it's no fun. I think we come from a family of thinkers/worriers. I'm glad you have this blog now to help you release some of that frustration. I already feel so much closer to you! :) I'm glad you have Scott too. He seems absolutely wonderful! Do you have pictures from the Medal of Valor ceremony? I love to see them! You are going to make great parents once the day finally comes. Hopefully the house situation will work out soon so you can think about growing your family. :)
PS: Have you taken ski lessons? Maybe you need to keep taking them until you feel more comfortable. It made all the difference for me! I wish I could go skiing! There's not so much snow around these parts though. :)
