A successful ski day, that is if bunny hills count as skiing.

I plowed, like a pizza slice. That is what Jeff kept telling me to do. "Put pressure on your heels, pressure on the left, pressure on the right, bend your knees."

I think I was a good student, but it was because he was a very kind and patient teacher. He helped me down the first bunny hill. We laughed because I am sure people thought I was special needs. By the second time down the bunny hill I was doing it on my own. All in all I really liked skiing. I want to go again in fact.

I can finally feel like a true Utahn, what an accomplishment! Even if it was just down the bunny hills.

Next time I think I'll dream bigger and go down the big people hills.

But for now, I am happy I conquered my fears and did it.

If Bridget Jones can do it, so can I right?

I am going skiing tomorrow for my first time. I am a bit scared, actually scared might not be the right word. Terrified is a better description. I am terrified of heights and fast speed. I am like a grandma on the freeway, no joke. So the combo of both these fears is why I have never gone skiing before. Well the time has come to look fear in the eye and just do it. That time is tomorrow. My friend Jeff has offered to teach me--does he realize what he is getting himself into?!?!

I have included a clip of the movie Bridget Jones:The Edge of Reason. Just watching Bridget makes my palms sweat. I can relate, I have a feeling I might be going down the mountain in full Bridget-esque style. Pray for me dear friends. Okay I might be being a bit dramatic.

{But really pray for me.}
