Well it has been several months but finally I got around to it. The holidays have been very relaxing and wonderful. Aaron and Chelsey came over on Christmas eve to be with us and christmas day started with a breakfast, which I made, followed by hanging out and preparations for lunch. Like always it was a magnificent meal with the traditional turkey, mashed potatoes and gravy, stuffing, cranberries, jello, and the works. Afterward we went to the kuetemeyers house for games and desert.
One more event that made this December unique was a ski trip Nick and I took to 49 degrees north. The majority if our trip was uneventful and common. Or at least it was till we came to one of the first hills on the way up the mountain. At about three quarters of the way up the cars tires began to spin. Slowly the car slid backwards until it reached a stop. A suv behind us couldn't make it up either and he had to turn back and go down the hill. We decides to do the same. However, about half way through our turn, while we were perpendicular to the road, a medium size suv comes ripping down the hill at 30-40 miles an hour. I'm staring at it as it fishtails it's way right at me on the passenger side. The only thing running through my mind is that I'm going to have to go to the hospital today. In an act of Gods mercy the suv does one final fishtails and miraculously misses our car which is taking up both lanes of the narrow road. My memory is pretty fuzzy about this part of the story and I cannot remember seeing the suv until it was already mostly down the hill. Also to add to the elements of surprise on the rest of our journey we hitchhiked to the mountain with a man who was sketchy and had just gotten his license back after being suspended 9 years for drunk driving. (which was bad cause he smelt of alcohol) then skied, then went down the wrong side of the mountain, then almost hit a dear on the way back. It was indeed a trip to remember. Well goodnight world and I will try to be more constant in weighting my thoughts.
