Pretending to be Olympic Skiers

I know we've been a bit behind on our blog and so here it is to those of you who have requested a new blog post. I've actually started to consider erasing our blog. The main reason we kept the blog was to document our lives in Grenada and England but now that we are back in the States there is really nothing exciting to share. But we will see, this is just an idea that I've had for a couple of days.

Winter is almost gone and we've loved every minute of it. I love to go out and walk around the city, especially on days when it snows, you really get to see the small little details that make New York City so unique.

While Matt was doing his surgery rotation, I used to have a routine walk to central park. And usually on my way back home I would meet Matt on his way home on his exit from the subway.

I know this photo is blurry but it resembles so much the craziness and late nights of surgery.

On another walk across the Brooklyn Bridge I came across something that someone wrote on a construction site and I laughed so hard when I saw it.

A couple of weeks ago we went on a day skiing trip north of the city. It was Matt's reward for finishing surgery rotation, or should I say for surviving 24hr call every third night at the hospital. We drove with some friends from church and I have to say we had a blast.


This was my first time skiing and Matt wanted to make my first time skiing perfect. So he got me to take some lessons and let me tell you, I've never felt so humiliated. I ran into my instructor twice because I didn't know how to stop with those silly skies. I am not going to lie, I did cry at one point since I felt like such an idiot...haha. The day got better as I keep practicing on the bunny slopes and then my hopes of being an Olympic skier were shattered when I saw 4 and 5 year old kids ski better than me.

Like I said the day got better but I think it had to do with the fact that our friend John was wearing a skiing suit that looked like he went back to the 80's. He actually pulled off the suit pretty well while doing some crazy moves. Needless to say, I am considering giving skiing another try. But I better start skiing like those 4 year olds...right.
