New Year = New Beginnings
I know its 2 weeks late but, happy new year family and friends! We hope everyone had a fun and safe new years celebration!
I just made it home from a mission in time to spend new years with a few local KC-10 and C-5 flyers/spouses. A few days later, the hubby and I enjoyed our very first fire in our fireplace.
Welp, the mister and I are starting off 2011 with his third deployment to Al Dhafra with projections for aircraft commander upgrade and the beginning of my upgrade later this winter/spring. On the leisure side, we both have pitched in to a cabin with a bunch of co-workers at Lake Tahoe and have begun to learn to ski/snowboard!
We took snowboarding on first, and took a lesson in order to learn the basics. We eventually attempted to do more but stayed only on the bunny slopes. The hubby really took a liking to it. I liked it too... well, except for the relentless falling and struggling to stand back up... only to fall, again. We are both extremely eager to get better at it though.

Skiing was much more forgiving, as our friends told us. We picked it up much faster and ended the day doing the entire green run from the top at Homewood Ski Resort. I think I may stick to skiing... perhaps later I will reattempt snowboarding.
Our next trip will be a quick 2 night stay in Vegas (fully equipped with a timeshare presentation), before we split up not to see each other again for up to 3.5 months. Pictures and commentary to come!
