Work and wedding planning and skiing. . .oh my!

It's been a hectic last few weeks. Work is really busy right now, the class I'm taking this semester is a lot more involved than I thought it was going to be (I mean, really, a 10 page paper for an online physical therapy course? --- I'm a science major, not a history major!) , wedding planning is continuing, and it just feels like the "to do" list gets longer and longer.

Wedding stuff is coming along, though. Raoul and I did our invitations this weekend and my mom booked our DJ, so I think all the big stuff is done. I honestly think this planning thing is overrated, and I'm beginning to dream of why we didn't just do a wedding/bbq in the backyard. It's getting closer all the time, and it will sure be nice for Raoul not to have to leave all the time. . .oh to live in the same town.

Raoul and I did go skiing a couple of weekends ago. He was very patient with my less than stellar performance, and went on green runs with me all day. I'm hoping I'm about ready for a blue, but I'm still not confident in my ability to stop, and then there's that fear of hitting a tree. Considering buying a helmet. . .

We watched the KU vs. Texas A&M game on Saturday. A loss that is acceptable in that they are a ranked team (and a good one too) but not acceptable in that it was at home, they were ahead the entire game, and it was college gameday. Did anyone else's jaw drop to the floor when Digger Phelps said that KU has the potential to contend for the national title? I'm pretty sure that guy has never said a nice thing about KU ever. . . maybe he got caught up in the magic of the Phog :) This week is KSU (who just beat Texas) and Missouri (at Columbia) both games where they'll really have to buckle down a play ball---and both of which will not be televised on the west coast :(

President's Day weekend is fast approaching, and Jaimee, Adrienne and I are ready to hit the slopes in Nelson, B.C. We're staying in a cute little hostel there and scored a good deal on lift tickets (yippee for the Canadian dollar!), so we're way excited for a fun girls weekend. Other than that I think that's my life in a nutshell. Now I'm just awaiting the groundhog's prediction. . .
