Independence Success!

Today I decided to go up on the peak-to-peak lift solo and it was INCREDIBLE! I proved to myself that I could be an adult and I could figure things out on my own without really asking much advice from anyone. Anyway, my moment of triumph was actually finding my way back down the mountain from the upper village to the lower village. The key was finding my hotel from the lift, so I knew the general direction I needed to go. I followed the sun and my heart and made the absolute most direct route that I could have with no maps and without asking anyone! What a contrast from my absolute navigation failure from last week! Needless to say, my navigation confidence is restored, and I saved time and stress since I need to leave for work very soon.

I will post more about the incredible views and such during my dinner break probably. If not, the next time you'll hear from me will be tomorrow evening or late at night as I'll be traveling to Vancouver after this evening's performance. Pray I have the same good sense of direction as I did today. Love to all!

    When I look back at those nights at special Ice shows at the Ice Chalet and remember you skating
    I always knew you would make it to the Olympics.

  2. Hey sweetheart,

    I do believe you inherited some of your dad's navigational skills.

    Love you,
    Mom
