My Birthday!!

I will post more of my Easter photos soon but I wanted to thank everyone for the birthday wishes!! They were all very much appreciated!! Thank you so much and I love you all!! A group of us went to a Rockies game on my birthday and we had a lot of fun. It was really nice to see Pat and Gena from the hospital where I used to work and hang out with some of my good friends from my current place of employment. Here are a few photos from May 1st 2011. It was cloudy and about 45 degrees. We still had a great time.

Erika is such a fun person!! She is from Michigan and did a travel assignment at my hospital right when I started and again for the last 3 months.

Besties!!!!

Gena got me a ridiculously awesome cupcake for my birthday. When I got home from the game I blew out the candle with a wish I sure hope comes true! :)

Sunday we went to Vail. On the way up we actually stopped at Copper to have a waffle, then continued our drive to Vail. I love it when I have guests in town!!!!

Worth every extra moment!!!!!

We went back to Breckenridge on Tuesday to get a few more runs in before Lindsay and David's plane left. What a perfect day!!!!!

Look at all of that powder!!!! It was a great day!

My Attempt at Snow Boarding

Lindsay and David are in Denver visiting and boarding. I am pretty busy this week with them and having a blast!!!! Friday we talked Eric into coming with us to Breckenridge if I took a snow board lesson. We had a total blast and laughed a ton! Here are some resulting photos. More to come soon!

Best photo of the day!!!! Our instructor took this when she thought I was making a great turn and this photo is what we got. It is now my facebook profile picture!!!! Hahaha!

Right before this photo was taken Eric told the instructor 'take the picture on 3. 1...2...3!' And shoved me. I fell, and the instructor missed that entirely and got this one after I stood up and started shoving back!

Eric, me, and Ashley

Now With Photos!

Bad blogger Chrissy? Compared to me you are a professional!!! By the way, I really missed you guys this weekend! Can not wait to see you all again! Thank you so much for posting all the photos! I love them! I am getting ready to go to bed after a long night of hard work at the casinos in Central City and Blackhawk with my besties, Eric and Russ. Things have been very busy around here. Sorry I have not had the time or energy to post! Here's a few photos of my recent house guests, all taken by Melissa! I am just dropping the ball all around! :) Ryan and his boss Steve and Steve's daughter Melissa came out to visit and ski. We had a great time! The visit was way too short though!! Hope everyone has a great week! I will also try to be a better blogger!

FINALLY!! PICTURES!!! I only had to upload each one individually! But here they are!

Ryan was such a trooper! First time ever skiing...in Colorado!

Happy Valentine's Day

I worked this Valentine's Day and these were waiting for me when I got there. I told him thank you and he told me he did not know what I was talking about. I said I must attract guys names Ryan because that is who it says they are from.

I told him that I named the bear Ry Ry Bear :)

And Minnie appreciated the flowers as well.

Lots of love to everyone!! Happy (late) Valentine's Day!!

Skiing Arapahoe Basin

Friday, I headed up to Arapahoe Basin on my own for a wonderful day of skiing. It was nice and sunny most of the day and the skiing was decent. They have not gotten any fresh powder since Tuesday so it was somewhat skied out but I know where to look for hidden stashes at this mountain. Then as I was thinking I had really gotten all I could from the mountain and maybe I would leave a little early, they announced they were opening the East Wall. The East Wall is a steep cliff wall that had been closed since they got all the snow over the weekend through Tuesday for avalanche control. Ski patrol just bombs the hell out of the mountain causing avalanches where they are prone to happening. It has a wicked traverse that requires tons of energy to get across (boarders would have quite a time, we are talking major hiking). It was worth it for the first tracks in untouched powder!! It was also worth all the crazy spills I took, digging my ski out from under a foot of powder, snow up my back down my neck and inside my goggles, and the soreness I feel now!!! It totally made the day wonderful! Jealous? You're jealous. Have a great weekend everyone!!!!

Sorry no photos of the East Wall. It is not visible from the parking lot.

A-Basin is my favorite mountain by far! It has such a local feel and is much less busy than the other resorts

Just breathtaking

A beautiful day!

Awesome day!
