An Update...

Since Thanksgiving I have....
1) gotten a job
2) ski'd a lot
3) GOT ENGAGED to a wonderful woman

For the new job I'm an office manager for a small e-commerce outfit. Small being: myself, owner, and a two-day a week college student. Lots of responsibility and lots of upside.

I finally pony'd up and got some nordic skate skis this year. After skating in the park last year with Kristi and wanting to enjoy the season not sitting on a trainer indoors, I have taken full-steam into skate skiing. It combines the endurance training comparable to skiing, lots of tactics, and it's insanely hard. 2hrs of skate skiing at Eldora leaves me wrecked for the day. A good wreck that is. The skiing has brought me some new balance to my life and allows me to enjoy the awesomeness of winter in Colorado and I get to ski with my #1 lady! On the flipside of skiing, I've been doing a bit of alpine as well. Each Sunday, I teach a group of 6 5yr olds. It's fun. Lots of ski carrying and snow eating, not me, but the kids. Hoping for some new pow pow and the weather is shaping up nicely for me.

And lastly but the most awesomeness, I got engaged to Kristi, my #1 lady.  We are both very excited and are planning for a September wedding.
