this day is one i will remember for the rest of my life. today i skied with brooke for the first time. it was brooke's last lesson, and she was brave enough to be willing to go up the chair lift and ski down the mountain. in order for that to happen, i had to rent boots & skis at the spur of the moment. no worries. i would have done anything to make sure brooke got up the mountain. this was a quiet goal i had for brooke's 6-week ski lessons. i hoped that at the end of it she was ready and willing to go up the chair lift and ski down. it would have been ok if she didn't, but i was so, so happy that she did. and the fact that we did it together made it that much sweeter. brooke earned a "most daring" ribbon today as well as a "certified skier" pin. it's hard to put into words how much i've enjoyed watching brooke learn to ski. it's been so special, and i feel so fortunate that we had this wonderful opportunity. now i'm going to go put my aching knees up :)
