Snowshoe 2014

    So let's see how did the RBSM ski trip go? It depends on how you look at it I guess. For me I honestly enjoyed the trip it was full of friends I love, and other great people. Let's start with the question everyone has on their mind. Did I ski? The answer is technically yes. I did go through ski school, and made it down the bunny hill, regular skiing not adaptive (Accomplishment!!) however, after finishing the class I decided not to go solo. While I have come so far already (which several people pointed out), I just personally felt that I just wasn't completely ready. It took all of my energy to do just what I had did, and I was sore, and tired. Yet I did get to share my testimony with the lady who walked me back to the rental station. So I feel like I was right where I needed to be. Was I bummed I couldn't do more in the athletic department? Yes but, I wasn't about to let that pressure me into doing something where I could get seriously hurt. (FYI ski boots are the most awful shoes I've ever had the displeasure of wearing).

    Otherwise the trip was relaxing and fun, there was a lot of walking at times, but I took breaks and no one seemed to mind. For dinner the second night a group of us ate at a pizza place it was so cool, I mean you look outside and you see so much snow. The next  night ate with one of the students in my room (also named Cameron) had a shrimp sandwich. Plus I made the whole trip without walker! That I think is another accomplishment. All in all I say it was a pretty good trip. There were few realizations that i'll admit took some of the fun out of the trip at the end, but really isn't the end always the part that gets us?
    One of the funny things is no matter when I go on a trip no matter how long I stay away, I always expect everything to have changed while I was away, but it never does. I get back and everything's the same. Will I return to snowshoe? I think it's a good possibility, but for now i'm glad to be back home safe.
