1. I become a potty mouth when I am scared, e.g. careening down a hill on skis at a very high speed. I'll just say that "Fracking toasters" was one of the more polite phrases to come out of my mouth. Not proud of it, of course! I was very pleased when I could truthfully tell my husband at the bottom of a hill that I had not cursed at all.
2. If my husband and I can work through his love of skiing with my potty-mouth inducing horror of skiing, we can work through anything : )
3. My sister-in-law is one of the most patient people on the face of the earth. Bless her! She got me through not one, but two instances where I was literally paralyzed with fear and crying in the middle of a slope.
4. Jon thinks his great-grandfather is the funniest person on the face of the earth. He just had to walk into the room, and Jon would start laughing.
5. Of course, I learned to ski on Spring Break! I am 29 and skied for the first time. I learned that I favor my left leg (is it stronger than my right leg, or do I just have more balance on my left leg?) I am much more comfortable on blue trails without any other skiers than I am on green trails with lots of skiers. Above all, I learned that if you are going too fast and you might fall over, just keep turning!
Pictures to come, once they are retrieved from various iPhones and cameras!

Ha! That pretty much sums up my first (and only) ski experience. Let's just say, Baxter convienced me not to go to ski school and then I somehow switched from a green to a black. I scooted down the mountain on my bottom. Needless to say, I sold my other two days back and stayed at the hotel the rest of the time. Glad you had fun!
