New Year - New Adventure: January

New Year's resolutions are a funny thing.
It's an automatic question you get after the New Year
but long forgotten by February. 

Well this year I'm changing things!
*Knock on wood*
I'm ACTUALLY going to keep my New Year's resolution
& so far, so good!

Here's a little refresher on my list I blogged about earlier -
Basically, I am doing something new every month
that I have always dubbed as "one day I'll do that."
Well, that day is sometime this year!

JANUARY: Learn to snowboard

I have never been snowboarding.
Skiing? Yes. 
So I'm not a total noob when it comes to winter sports.

I happened to be headed to Colorado
so it made this item easy to accomplish
in the sense that I would check it off
not so much that I would be good at it.

I'm not going to lie to you - 
I was on my ass for a while there
but I'm also going to toot my own horn & say I picked it up pretty fast!
I have witnesses...

 Beautiful Breckenridge Ski Resort near Denver, CO.
Honestly, one of the most beautiful mountains I have been on.
Because I have so many to compare to...
But really, it was nice - check it.

Pretty sure this was in the beginning.

When I was happy about trying new things.

Before I started falling.

Then a hot snowboarder attempted to teach me how to board.

But I yelled at him.

Because it was the board that kept making me fall.

Not me.

But I started to get the hang out it

& since I was shredding down that beautiful mountain,

I needed a break. Or two.

Or half the time I was out there. 

Of course, trying to be all artsy & shit.

In reality, I was constantly afraid I would fall to my death.

Thank you cousin Leo for taking me out on the mountain,

waiting for me as I figured out how to steer that damn board

& showing me that Colorado is a close second to California.

So there it is.

January has been accomplished!

I can now check [Snowboarding] off of my bucket list.

Next up - [Tumbling]

Fingers crossed I don't break anything... Cheers!
