Reno Trip

Our annual trip to the NAICC meeting was in Reno, NV this year. We enjoyed seeing all that Reno has to offer, Cabela's, Scheels, Sparks Luxury Plus Theater, all the amazing food at the Peppermill Hotel and oh yeah the meeting.

Birthday Painting with the Barre Girls

Last September my Pure Barre workout turned into a part time job. I just love my job and the amazing staff I get to workout with. My boss treated the staff to a fun night of painting to celebrate the December and January Birthdays.

Ice Fishing with Friends

We had a wonderful day ice fishing with our friends. They are from the south so this was a first for them. Todd treated us all to a relaxing day of ice fishing. Todd cooked us a hot dog lunch and we caught fish. It was the best tasting hot dog I had ever eaten. We had a blast and caught about 50 trout in total.

Refresher course - snow driving

Another Adventure!!
Todd picked me up from work and we were almost home driving on a very snowy/ icy morning. Todd stated that it was time for me to have a snow driving refresher course. So we switched seats so I could drive and we went down an icy road that had open corn fields on each sides. I proceeded to show off my correcting skills after I let the tires slide a little. I didn't want to make the truck spin out to practice more so Todd said that I needed to do it again.  I didn't want to so Todd improvised.  The next thing I know he had his hand on the pedal and we spun out into a small irrigation ditch. Oops! We switched spots not saying much, then when the silence broke and he said "See you needed some practice." "Not that kind," I said.  Todd then tried to get us out of the ditch while I called Jeff to come pull us out of the ditch. 

Jeff came and  pulled us out of the ditch. Poor Todd felt pretty bad about the whole thing, but he said it is more important that I learn how to save my life and the life of others when driving in the snow. I agree!
We had a good laugh after it was all over!
