Winter Storm Alert!!!!

So apparently the west coast is getting a massive snow storm which is supposed to hit the rockies tonight - just in time for President's Weekend. Apparently their getting over a foot of snow and I get 3 days to enjoy the freshies :)

They dying disease has subsided and just left me with a little cough, so I should be near a 100% (which is good since my buddy Southie is back from New Zealand for the rest of the season). I'll provide with an update of this weekend's festivities on Tuesday, happy break everyone!!!

Off to Winter Park for me!!!

Dying Disease

Yes the dying disease has came back to haunt me...as it does every year. I've been coughing, sneezing, fevering and sounding like a fat man trying to climb up a mountain after every flight of stairs for the past 2 weeks.

It happened to come at a not so bad time though. Since I was feeling awful and almost threw up in my car from coughing so hard, I decided to take yesterday off of work. This gave me the whole day to organize all my crap and finish moving out of my old apartment into my new one right in downtown Denver (Well Capital Hill - same difference). I love the apartment, having a roommate and most importantly love being walking distance from school and majority of my Denver friends. However, apparently the neighboring couple decided to get back together last night and decided to "make love" loudly for 45 minutes last night.... three different times....and between 1 am and 6 am. Needless to say, I did not get much sleep.

I have a lot of exciting things coming up, so I'll try and give you a brief summary.

I've applied to the school districts in Aspen and near Vail (I've decided to leave this job), have my level 2 certification for skiing approaching IN TAOS AND BEAVER CREEK, U.S. vs. Mexico World Cup Qualifying game is tonight and I get a 4 day weekend to ski and ride in Breck, Keystone, Vail and Copper :) :) :)

Just need to kick this damn dying disease. I love my life.

Moving and New Responsibilities

Hey, I apologize (especially to the family members) for not updating my blog for about 2 months.

Everything is going well out here, I'm just EXTREMELY BUSY. I'm working up at Winter Park and am gone all weekend, Monday I'm doing a snowboarding program with my students and don't get home from Echo Mountain until about 10:30 at night (I drop some of the students off at home), Tuesday, Thursday and Friday I train with the soccer guys until about 5:00, Tuesday I also have a class from 6-9pm, there are at least 8 teachers being cut due to reduction in our school's funding (so I'm working on getting my resume together and applying to new jobs), I have to renew my teacher's license by April (which may seem far away, but everything in this district takes forever to get processed) , AND I'm moving into an apartment downtown and have to be out of my old apartment by this Tuesday (which you can only imagine how challenging that will be since I'm used to not getting home until after 10pm on Monday and Tuesday and have to work all weekend at Winter Park.

But I'm still smiling :)
