Oh, my gosh!

Last Saturday was a crazy day! It was nuts - I went "food storaging (as Colten calls it when I went to do a little canning for food storage) at 8 am, went to Cole's basketball game at 9, I had a 1 hour break to clean the house and feed the kids, then I left to take pictures for the next 4 hours while trying to see through the haze of a HORRIBLE headache, I got home and jumped in the car with Joe to head to Park City to see the World Cup for moguls (by this time, my headache was making me sick, I hadn't eaten anything all day except for almonds and diet coke, and tons of headache medicine), I had dressed for a "dinner at the lodge" date, but showed up to find out it was a hike up to the hill to see the stuff, but I was so sick by then that I almost fainted walking up that huge hill! Then, I realized how dumb I was to dress like that because it was DANG COLD up there! The wind would blow right through me! So, I began shivering around 6 p.m., and while the event itself was awesome to watch, it didn't end until 10!!!!!! I have never been in so much pain or so cold in my entire life! On the other hand, Deer Valley can make some amazing hot chocolate and "turkey chili in a cup!"
Joe was really in his element there. Not cold at all! So, even though he offered to head back, I stuck it out for him. I think love makes us do crazy things sometimes because it lasted a long, long time, my head was pounding, and I was shaking the whole entire time. Anything for you, Joe!

This is really a fake smile.Luckily, Joe's boss was there with his cute family! It made it more fun to spend that time with them (but I feel so stupid for being in so much pain that whole night!) Their little girl was so amazing! She didn't get cold. She didn't get tired. She was happy the whole time! How in the heck did she do that? I'm thinking maybe I was the only one that was suffering! She's not even 3, and she was doing better than me!!! What an adorable little girl! She got really worried about the skiiers every time they crashed. She wanted to go help them - a true doctor in training!
It was really dark- so the images are very grainy, but that's the final race and one of the guy's final jumps. Next year, I'm planning on wearing snow gear, mittens, socks, and sorels. I will also not be going if I have a headache - so that I don't give anyone else a headache from all my shivering and grimacing. Other than that, it was a perfect date!
