WISP!!!!

This past weekend I was reminded again just how lucky I am to have such an amazing family.  A family that loves you unconditionally, who love to laugh and have a good time, and care about your well-being. 

Billy, Cam, and I walked to see an amazing waterfall.  We went with my grandfather, mother, aunt, cousin and her husband.  The beauty of nature, with the snow on the tree branches, is just breath taking.  I have to say though that the most amazing sight was the half frozen waterfall.  The image will speak for itself.  






Taking deep breaths of the fresh cold air brings clarity to the brain.  We walked a trail where some pretty significant historical figures camped in the 1800s.  The little history lesson made me think, these trips are history in the making. 

As we sat in the hot tub that night talking about how many years we had been going on this trip every MLK weekend, I hoped that we would continue the tradition for many more years.  Now we are the first ones to have a great-grandchild, which I hope will change soon.  Hint, Hint, John and Rachel and Sarah and Dave!  It is fun to think that one day there will be many little ones running around and learning how to ski and snowboard and jumping from the hot tub to the snow and back in the hot tub again.  We are all too old and too smart for that J.  Heading down to the tube park for the last session of the night, because that is for sure when the lanes are the fastest, which means that you will probably get yelled at for hitting the barrier.  All the fond memories we have made and will make; all of us under one roof, meals big enough to feed 15 + people and no worries for three straight days. 

Life is not about the amount of money we have or the number of possession, it is about the experiences and the people who are part of them.  I couldn’t be more excited that I will get to teach Camryn about life and give her the experiences that will help mold her into a wonderful and respectful person.  I have great role models and teachers in my parents and extended family.  But with every person you cross in life there is a potential lesson to be learned, I have learned many lessons, the good and the bad. 

Looking forward to many more experiences in this crazzzy thing we call LIFE!
