I love love love... like REALLY love ... sharing my love for heart-thumping good times with people I love.
So when M's 30th birthday showed up on a cool Monday in January, I jumped at the chance to share my birthday philosophy with him: Do something every year you haven't done before.
Of course, I didn't so much "share" this as throw him into it headfirst! Lucky for me, he was a willing participant.
We headed to Whistler eager for fun. He with chipmunk cheeks and Tylenol 3s from a last minute wisdom tooth extraction but an unflinching spirit for adventure and me ripe with anticipation of what was to unfold.
We jam packed our two days with experiences and memories and moments that will stick with us from lifetimes over and over.
First: terry cloth robes and a sweet hotel room.
Second: Ski lessons complete with wipeouts, laughter, and some killer swooshes.
Third: gourmet hotdogs (veggie for me) and cream sodas
Fourth: a flask filled with caramel schnapps and a cool evening on a mountain top
Fifth: So much food that we nearly rolled home.
Sixth: hiking, jumping, playing in the snow with Harley
Seventh: Bungee jumping over a snowfilled canyon under a crisp blue sky.
It was heaven (with a side of lightening bolt).
