"You stand up for what you believe in, even if it gets you in the way of what others think..."

My photo
if i could use one word to describe my life SERENDIPITY seems to fit the space... i stumbled upon my husband during a time i shouldn't have and my story goes on from there... constantly falling or stumbling upon remarkable gifts and people who bring fortune to our lives... when we fall we learn and strive toward the next step.

thirty...four to snow~






"The future lies before you,
like paths of pure white snow.
Be careful how you tread it,
for every step will show"
unknown



as if my birthday hadn't been blessed enough
with the sweet surprises from my sister

my l♥ve
he planned another trip
and took us up to the mountains

...sigh...



and you know what

THIRTY..FOUR

 just kept on getting
better & better

as soon as we got on the road

it began to

SNOW


one wee older one
was in the back
capturing life as it passed

i think this is one of the coolest pictures
ever taken of my l♥ve & me


stark
naked


into the gray


pass the snowy river


back into the woods we go


climbing higher & higher


until the snow speaks no more


back down we head


twisting & turning


seeing in the distance


all the vastness & beauty these mountains behold


down on the ground
getting ready to play


no worries mama
it's just a little ramp

HA...WHAT ARE YOU TRYING TO DO TO ME!!!


ok...pay close attention here

SEE.BRANDI.SNOWBOARD

{do you see which way i am facing}


SEE.BRANDI.FALL

so close your eyes for a minute
imagine what an airplane propeller looks like
spinning in full motion

now insert
ME
in place of the propeller

they said my body was completely straight parallel to the ground
and i did a full 360 if not more

can you say some aches and pains to be had


but that did not stop one wee little one 


or one wee older one from giving it a go


they played & played


while i took a moment of rest


and soaked up a few minutes of


 my kind of play

so as for turning

THIRTY...FOUR

i have to say

i love how its turning out to this day

The last time we went snowboarding, I... um... jumped on a tube. Yes, down the bunny slope I went with the five-year-olds. My hip is a coward lol

The pictures are amazing. And the one that captures speed!! Wow!!!

34 is a wonderful year, and 35 will be grand, too, I've been told. I'll tell you all about it after April ;-)
