Snow Adventures

Well, here's my second post. My apologies for the wait. We've done so many things since last time. I'll have to make a few posts over the next few days ( I hope) just to catch up. I mean, I wouldn't want to blow your minds with one post.

A few weeks ago Kostya and I went night skiing at Sundance. It was my third time and Kostya's second. The last time we went skiing (on Snowbirds bunny hill) we did so well that we thought we were ready for the big mountain, and were pretty sure we were just about the coolest most professional skiers ever. I'm not sure I can fully explain with words what happened to us, and since we forgot to take pictures, Kostya kindly offered to illustrate our experience. The following is the sad sad story of our skiing demise....

My face plant, Kostya literally had to come pull me and my skis out of the snow

Now, because I had hurt my knee on my fall, I went down the hill a lot slower than Kostya, and unfortunately was not able to witness this epic crash.  But from the sounds of it, it was truly epic.

We haven't been skiing since.  Does this mean that we have given up?  Oh no!  We are committed.  After my knee finally recovers, and maybe surgery, we will be back on that mountain!  Just wait!

The Beginning

We have a blog!!! Yay!!  (Kostya just laughed at me)  Anyway, I think its cool.  Hopefully, I will be able to keep up with this.  Well so much has happened.  I got married.  In case you didn't already know, I married a crazy communist Russian named Konstatnin, or Kostya for short.  JK!  He's not really crazy.  :P  Just communist and Russian.  Ok fine, he's not communist either.  But it sounds more exciting that way doesn't it?  He's laying his head on my shoulder right now, and hasn't let go of my left arm for the last ten minutes.  Oh the sacrifices we make....

Who am I kidding, I love Kostya, and I love when he needs me.

I got a job at ancestry.com.  Its pretty great.  The benefits rock and its a fun environment.  Plus I get to look at historical documents and do family history all day!  I may be a nerd, but I love it!

Kostya told me he thinks that I should do a blog post about how we met so that people stop asking.  Not a bad idea, maybe then I can just pass out a URL link anytime someone asks.  We had thought about brochures, but this would save us a lot in printing costs.

Well folks, stay tuned.  There is surely more to come from the Petrunin family!
