Wisconsin, Passport, and Bretton Woods

What do they all have in common? They are all related to things I crossed off my list- woo hoo!
One of the things on my list is to visit 2 states I've never been to. A couple of weeks ago my work sent me to Wisconsin for training- I was right outside Madison, Wisconsin which is a cool college town. The trip was really short (2 1/2 days) but I had a great time anyways.
I FINALLY submitted my application to get the name on my passport renewed. Now I am all set for Aruba, where I will be crossing another thing off my list (visiting the natural pools.)
And the third thing- I graduated from the bunny slope and went down a real trail on my snowboard! Was it pretty? hell no. Did I still fall a lot? you betchya. But it was fun, albeit frustrating. Friday I started on the bunny slope and then Jamie took me down this loooong green trail that actually ended down a blue trail. I had a really good run where I turned 9 times without falling. I just need to work on my hip pivoting, then i will be in much better shape. On Saturday I went down the bunny slope twice (still a good place to warm up!) and then Jamie and I went back up to what we thought was the same green, but we took the wrong lift and I had no choice but to go down a blue trail the whole way. eek! It didn't help that it was getting icy by then... In the afternoon Jen and I did the green trail again but I was soooo tired by then I just kept stopping. Hopefully p90x will improve my stamina! I'm excited to go again- hopefully when my cousin Katy gets back from Florida we will go soemwhere local.

That's it- off to watch Dexter!
