Perfect Day.

I'm Spring Crazy. I LOVE spring. It's nice, I love my windows down, I love ridding my bike, I love the park, I love my running stroller, I love it all. It's my ANNIVERSARY*. One of the best parts of spring is, if you know me. The first time I hit the water.

I'm a professional water skier**. If you don't know me. I eat, live, breath for water skiing in the summer. I'm kind of getting nervous, I get these CRAZY urges about this time every year, never fails I say it to dad "Can't wait to get out there Dad." Of course he loves it. He taught me, or as mom says "Brain Washed me :)". Whatever it is, it's my thing, it's one thing I'm good at and better than about everyone, Jono, Alex, mom, and a bunch of others at!!!!

I'm kind of worried because I'm taking 15 credits this summer and I have NO IDEA where I will fit my sets in each day... I have laid in bed many nights saying ok well you will have class 8 till 2 everyday then you can go to mom and dads get a set in and go home with Brinn for the night. So it will work. I only have 8 weeks of school might just move in with mom and dad get up in the morning ski a set and come home at 3 ski a set. That's two sets a day! So it will work out... OR I could not take classes nanny 2 days a week and SKI ALL THE TIME. I'm leaning more towards option two but my career is leaning more towards option 1. However, I'm still dreaming of skiing.

It's also the one thing I have with my dad that I just love. I've had so many awesome summers in my backyard***. I think one of the most selfish and hardest summers was the summer I was pregnant with Brinn. It was so hard to sit on the deck and watch everyone ski all summer I cried myself to sleep so many nights. However, Brinn was SO WORTH IT :) It was just really hard for me.. being a professional and all. JK  Here are some pretty awesome ski moments that I've had. Enjoy...

This is me at my first Regionals... It was beautiful in Illinois that day. Listening to Tom Petty Don't back down "mentally Preparing".

 Perrish, awesome skier dad and I call him a baby because he is a sore loser we saw it in action that day... too bad it's just the name of the game. 

So here is what it looks like to ski like we ski....

I save the best for last. This is my place. This is where I go to get away from it all this is my perfect day my backyard. 

I'm so thankful for what I have been blessed with in my life. Right now I'm going through the blues of winter it's sad and depressing. I hate winter, especially winters I spend without my husband. I just say this year is different. I can't wait for these days. I cant' wait for days out on the water with my dad. These days are days that are closer to my man coming home too. Love him, love this, love you all.


*My First Anniversary that is :)
**I'm not a professional people just haven't ever seen anyone ski like we ski, so they think we are pros! ha ya right.
***My parents live on a man made lake that we made for water skiing, we have tournaments and tons of people in our ski club. It's the best part of summer can't imagine life without it!
