NikkiB's new thread, new life

[NikB]

Just a quick post because I know I've been posting too much and there's a lot to catch up on!!

I'm still curious to get thoughts on the photo album gift I mentioned earlier.

After all my negativity and venting lately, I wanted to share a couple of new things I've decided to do this winter: take a sleigh ride, and dog sledding!

I've wanted to do a sleigh ride forever and haven't ever done it. I think I'll invite my mom, she's always wanted to do that too. There's a place somewhat nearby that has it and I also saw there are sleigh rides in Yosemite - how neat would THAT be? I'll let H know I'm going but not really invite him, it'll be up to him to ask if he wants to go. I love where we live... in the valley, no snow, but you can drive an hour and get to it. Perfect, no shoveling!

The dog sledding I found when I was looking for the sleigh rides and thought it sounded fun, too! I think I'll invite my dog loving neighbor to go. She likes to ski and goes by herself often, and the dog sled place is at a ski resort, so maybe we can make a day of it (I could hang out in the lodge while she skiis). She's someone I'm trying to create more of a friendship with so this seems like a good opportunity, if she's up for it. If not I might just go by myself.
