I've got no clever title for this one

It's been a month! Time to update! Take a walk back in time with me as I reminisce about everything that has been going on!

Valentine's Day weekend, I took Jim snowboarding (for his first time!) We couldn't have asked for a better day to go! It was about 45 degrees and blue skies! I'd like to attribute my amazing teaching skills to how well Jim did on the slopes, but it was mostly all him. I remember my first time going (ah yes, lots of falling, swearing, etc etc).... Not to say Jim didn't fall (and being an excellent teacher and supporter, I of course laughed) but he did significantly better than my first time and his presence made me feel infinitely better (and cooler!) at my own skills!!!

Getting the hang of it!

Close up! Aren't I cute?! haha

Another weekend event was another hockey game (which I LOVE! They are so stinking fun!) Of course we won again - woot woot. There was no racing cheese this time, BUT there was a ice skating juggler! Where the hell do event coordinator find these people? I want their job! "Hmmm, what stupid thing can we find to fill in between periods......" These must be the same people who put on the puppy bowl and the kitty half time show on animal planet every year at the super bowl time (and if you don't know what I'm talking about, consider yourself blessed)

I can make fun of this all I want, but I still couldn't do it!

The end of February I took a trip back home to spend some quality time with my mama before her big move! We decided to go to the public museum to see the Bodies Revealed exhibit. It was very interesting (but actually really really gross!) We also goofed around the museum a little bit and rode the carousel. We were the oldest ones riding, but clearly the ones having the most fun at it!

No cameras were allowed in the exhibit :( But here's the before shot!

Mom and I after the exhibit (which the faces we had the majority of the time walking around!)

"Hey mom, climb into that exhibit so I can take a picture!"
"Um...am I allowed to do that?"
"Probably not, but go ahead anyway"

"John, is that you?"

One of my favorite parts of any museum - the 'old town'

Our carousel ride! It hurt our rumps!

I also had another chance to go snowboarding with Nick and finished my weekend off by attending Erich and Laura's Oscar party! I didn't make any guesses on who would win, which was probably for the best because I think I had only seen one or two of the movies nominated for anything!

Getting geared up

Waiting in line (next to this guy with a huge ginger afro!!)

All the girls on the red carpet!

I brought Geo back with me for a Wisconsin visit. It was supposed to be a 2 week visit, but it's getting cut down by a week due to dog and cat arguments, severe stress on my part (works been nuts! I had to deal with a stab wound trauma patient earlier in the week - my first experience ever with that), and cabin fever on Geo's end (despite multiple trips to dog parks). I'll say more on that (with pictures) on my next update though. I hope all has been well with you! Let the countdown to my birthday begin :)
