Meetups

Tonight I dragged Charley my partner in crime these days to a meetup event which turned out really cool. Meetups is an online social group of people with special interests. They are categorized by area and then by interest. The group I joined was for newcomers to the Breck area in order to find new people with similar interests. Tonight was "girls night in" so about 15 of us went to Alex's (the organizer) house to have a fun spa night. Charley and I enjoyed the time spent with other people away from our intern group. As much as we love them, 12 people living and working together 24/7 can get to be a bit much and it's only the first month of being here! YIKES. I heard about this through my mom and figured whatever I will listen to her every once in awhile. Once I found one I told Charley about it and crossed my fingers she would come with me because I didn't want to head out on my own, especially since I had NO IDEA where this was and I am ridiculously bad with directions. My travel partners in the past can account for that. I can't tell you how nice it was to be in an actual house and not our cabin. The change of scenery was awesome and the conversation was great. We talked about travel, friends, family, food etc. I got my eyebrows waxed which was VERRRRY necessary considering the lighting here is a joke. Picture this, Me standing in the bathroom mirror eyes squinted trying to find the stray hairs with m headlamp on....can you say super geek or what?!

Today on the mountain was a lot of talking time which always kills me since I have the attention span of a goldfish and by about 5 minutes I'm tuned out in la la land. We worked on bamboo pole techniques which we had done before. In the afternoon we worked on how to get on and off the lift with the ski legs. The ski legs are essentially like a walker on the mountain with ski's on the bottom to help people stay standing when they can bear weight but don't quite have the motor control to stay stable.

Kevin tethered me on the ski legs and led me down the mountain which wasn't too scary. Then we switched and I tethered Adam down the mountain. I really like hanging out with these two, they are so fun and we are all just goofy together. We're like the three muskateers here, we take our lunch together, go to town, pair up etc. It woks out well since Kevin and Adam room together and Kevin and I are a couple the three of us can just hang out and it's no pressure and all just fun times.

Well I'm pooped out and tired so off to bed I go!
Miss you all
