Thankful

Today, I am thankful. 

I try to be thankful everyday actually,

but today it's just really easy to be.

IT'S SNOWING!!!!!!!

And not gross snowing, but beautiful snowing. 

HUGE, gorgeous flakes that are making me sooo happy.

Went shopping for some new ski pants this morning (mine are haggard, truly).

Didn't find any I liked, but it sure got me excited! 

Plans for a possible Monday trip to Targhee are in the works!  

 This could be me in 2 short days. Pure bliss!

My brother Mark and I went and saw Warren Miller a couple weeks ago.

For those of you who don't know, it's a skiing and snowboarding movie designed to get everyone sufficiently thrilled for the upcoming season. They have a drawing and give away some decent prizes, such as ski passes to Targhee and Pebble and other stuff as well. I've never won anything.

UNTIL THIS YEAR!! 

It was the very last drawing. Supposedly the grand prize.

Dumbest grand prize ever, but I was indeed the recipient. I won the wonderful opportunity to have my name entered in another drawing of hundreds of people. For a one week heli-ski vacation. Which would be absolutely rad. I mean really, I won the grand prize once, it could happen again right?! Wrong. But I'll keep hoping. The drawing isn't until February. And let's not forget the other gift that went along with my grand prize entrance. It's a mug with a hogs head on it, since CW Hogs hosted the Warren Miller movie event. Except the hog looks a little funny. Mark was the one that discovered the handicap. 

It has no ears. 

It looks as though they got broken off somewhere along the way.

Can you say classy?

Can you say white elephant gift?

Just hope you don't end up at a white elephant party with me this Christmas, cause you'll know just what my gift will be ;)

Ah, the joys of life. Even though it was a terribly lame grand prize, it was still fun to be a winner.

Plus,

Going on a date today. 4 wheeling up a mountain. Then sledding down that mountain.

I'm excited. 

And thankful.

Cause I'm blessed.

And happy. 

Hasta lavista baby!
