This is what was waiting for me when I opened the garage today after work!! Joe met Nick at Cabela's on Saturday and apparently decided it would be really funny to buy this and play a joke on me. When I opened the garage I was so confused. I thought maybe I pulled into the wrong driveway---why would we have something like that?!?! Leave it to Joe! I walked in and he could hardly talk he was laughing so hard. This 8' monster was definitely worth the $15 for him....and I think it will be our newest gag gift!

We went skiing yesterday at Timberline. It was the nastiest ski trip I have ever been on! There was a light mist all day---the lift operator was squeegeeing everyones goggles before they got on the lift. It was fun, but next time we'll check the weather reports better before we leave! I'm still waiting to hear back from Dr. Nichols....he was going to check with Dr. Heydon at OHSU to see if it would be ok for me to ski this year. I've gone twice now and I'm still walking, so I think I'll continue! And hopefully not get lectured at my next appointment! :)
