So, I am back from Colorado and had a blast with my family. We flew in on Sunday and drove into Steamboat Springs. The next morning was awesome! The weather was nice, high of 37 F, and the kids were ready to get out and play in the snow. The couple in the condo next to us lent us her plastic snow sleds and we sent the kids down the hills near our condo. They were so cute, barely able to move because we had them so completely bundled up. There was no way they were going to get cold, in fact they were hot most of the time and proceeded to eat snow constantly!
Tuesday the weather report was pretty much the same so we all decided to go skiing. Yes I am aware that I was advised, really instructed, not to go skiing, but I stayed on the green, beginner, slopes the entire day. This was almost as torturous as not skiing at all since I have been skiing since I was five and do not ever even venture towards "those green slopes." Unless to teach someone else how to ski.
Olivia went to ski school on Tuesday and Wednesday and loved it! She is a natural. She does just as her instructor tells her... point your skies down hill, go for a little while and then stop by making your skies into a slice of pizza. She shows me this over and over and every time she comes to a stop she puts on hand on her hip and turns and poses. Oh do I have my hands full! I loved it, it is so cute.
Gavin spent Tuesday skiing with my Dad. They had a great time and although I was not able to see Gavin ski my dad was able to capture an awesome picture of him skiing.
Josh and I spent Tuesday skiing together and had a great time.
The rest of the trip consisted of playing in the snow, discovering an igloo and finding some jumps to take the sleds down.
We returned to Panama City on January 2nd, I donated my hair on the 3rd and started chemo on the 4th.
My next blog will talk about the fun times of chemo.
God Bless!

Thinking of you everyday Cass. What a blessing to have had that trip already planned even before all this came to be. What a wonderful time to be with Josh, the kids and your parents before this new chapter began. My thoughts and prayers are with you constantly. Love you!
