the snow is coming...




these are pics today of ski bowl on mount hood!! i cannot express to you just how happy this makes me.. :) i want to jump out of my skin right now and run up the mountain and just lay in it.

along those lines, jenny and i were talking about how wonderful it is here in oregon. i mean, we have the beach an hour and a half to the west, and we have the mountain an hour and a half to the .. . .. . .. well, 1.5 hrs away anyways.. hehe.. not to mention we have a river to play in when we can't get away to the beach and we have cold wet winters to bundle up in to remind us that we are not far from snow..


we don't get snow here on the valley floor very often, so we enjoy the mountain more than anyone knows.. we try to get up there just about every other weekend, and dont care if we are deprived of sleep if it means sledding down a hill, hitting a tree, and nearly breaking our backs (haha, that ones a loooong story). theres just something about the mountain that makes us all warm and fuzzy inside..

so just give me a tank of gas, a pomegranate rockstar, a scarf, some gloves, snow pants, and a sled, and up to the mountain i go. Taking my mind off life, work, and what makes me unhappy. The fresh mountain air and the thrill of riding on a small disc down a big hill can make a girl forget about everything.
