a new love

well packing is on the 'to do list' over in the bennett household.  8pm i am leaving for vermont with my school for a ski trip.  we will be driving for 12 hours.  yes - half a day!!!!  thank goodness we are going to be driving through the night so i can sleep  hopefully get some sleep because we are going to get there and hit the slopes!  we are going to ski for 3 days straight.  i am pumped!
there is something about skiing that makes you feel like you are free?!  it is just so joyful, and somewhat peaceful?!  i love wearing my mask that covers half of my face, then ski goggles, and then my helmet.  you are so warm, no snow is getting into your face, and no one knows who you are.  it is just you and the slope.  (not a good place to meet a guy - just saying!!  haha!  i am not planning on it!  picture taking and skiing are my priorities! :P)
i want to try downhill skiing.  not just skiing for fun, like competition.  racing. like linsey vonn.  YES, i am inspired by her to try it out.  it is so much fun to ski just for fun, so i think it would be even funner to ski while competing against others.  i'm in.  i am willing to try it!  she is an awesome girl and a great example. 
well short post today.  bottom line: i am in for 3 amazing, free, and fun-filled days.  i will hopefully (no promises) try and get some pictures posted when i get back.  there are going to be breathtaking veiws.  back to packing!!!
