A few weeks ago, I received the exciting news that I had been chosen as one of the representatives for NAU's PT program. Having been chosen for this, I will be headed to Washington DC at the end of this month for four days. I will be out there for the Federal Advocacy Forum, which will be focused on health care, government policies affecting PT, government assistance for physical therapy student loan forgiveness, ect, ect... I am looking forward to the experience and opportunity and will hopefully be posting pictures from this trip.

The last couple of weeks have been extremely busy and because of it, the blogging updates and posts have suffered, so bear with me as some of the new posts may be a few weeks old.
A few weeks ago Melissa came up for the weekend and for a late birthday celebration. The weekend worked out fantastic, as we hadn't seen her for her recent birthday and she hadn't celebrated mine. We played the weekend mostly low key, but went to the Grand Canyon, which was just beautiful with the snow still on the rim.

Sunday Morning Golf
No it's not your typical golf, but disc golf is big up here and with the weather warming up and snow melting off we decided to go out and practice up for spring. My own presonal opinion is that if your playing disc golf in the snow, then it should be considered an extreme sport.
Great Igloo Constuction
We started the task of building an igloo for the boys Saturday afternoon and a few hours later the finished product was quite impressive. We are thinking about renting it out if any one is interested.
After all of that hard work, we finished off the night with some homemade pizza. I must say we are getting pretty good.
Early Birthday Celebration
This past Friday, Joseph, Jim, Becky, and the boys came up and we had an early birthday celebration, which lasted all weekend. We started off on Friday night with some sushi with Sunny and Jacob as well and went back to the house for some awesome cake. It was a pretty deluxe celebration with a magician and all...Jacob pulled out some magic tricks for the boys, but we all got a kick out of them.

Down the Slopes
Having no school on Friday and a great snow this past Sunday, we decided to hit up Snowbowl. Following a harsh fist time snowboarding experience for Joy, I decided to take her under my wing (hahaha). However, after only a ten minute lesson she was cruising down the mountain like a champ. I had the oppportunity to go out a few times before with Jacob, so I had a few little tricks to impress Joy with.
After an awesome morning of boarding, Joy was calling for a black diamond run, but the top lift was closed due to the wind. I guess the jumps and 360s will have to wait until next time =). Lets just say it's a great day when you can get off of the chairlift without falling.

Snowday
I can honestly say that I cant remember the last snowday I had as a kid, but today they have canceled all classes, because of the nasty weather we have gotten. NAU has a motto similar to the Post Office, it doesn't matter what the weather is like, classes will be in session. That's some insight on how the weather is...NAU cancelled classes.
As a kid, I remember playing in the snow and playing all day on snowdays...Today will consist of studying, studying, and more studying.

Early Birthday Gift
What can I say, I've been bitten by the snowboarding bug...I haven't quite decided to drop out of school to pursue this passion yet, but for an early birthday present Joy bought me this awesome new snowboard and bindings. It turned out that the new bindings looked better on my other board, so I decided to post pictures of all of the boards.
