That’s the sound I’ll be making when I’m slipping down the slopes at:

Whistler, British Columbia

on my

HONEYMOON

I’m SO excited. We’ve been debating what to do for our honeymoon since funds are tight. However we did save enough to have a great domestic vacation and since we don’t need plane tickets to get to Whistler, we’re driving up there the week before Christmas. We’ll probably spend a couple of days in Vancouver and then head up to the mountains for some snowboarding. Neither one of us can board, but we have lessons planned.

My last skiing adventure was kind of traumatizing. I had one day to relearn skills I hadn’t practiced in six years. Plus, I was skiing with advanced skiers and I just couldn’t keep up. I nearly killed myself careening down a slope until Daniel’s roommate Jeremy caught my arm and saved me from certain death. After that close call, I stayed on the green runs and dragged myself along with my poles. It was beautiful and safe. Yes, safe.

So why am I learning to snowboard, something that is more difficult to master than skiing? Well, I’m a bit wiser now and I think with some lessons I can get down the mountain, or the bunny slope, in one piece. Plus, Whistler has some of the best runs in North America, so I’m sure they have slopes for every level of skier.

On top of spending the week before Christmas in a beautiful setting, we’re also staying in a kickass hotel. Supposedly, it has a huge outdoor hot tub. I might need to sooth my sore muscles there.
