So we're coming to the end of our first winter season out in the French Alps. We've been here since the end of November and it has been an amazing experience. We've been out snowboarding an average of 5 days a week, sometimes more, sometimes less. The progression that we've both been through during the season has been incredible. Personally I could not have imagined that I would be doing the things I'm doing. I have gone from barely being able to make turns...to confidently coming down black runs, throwing myself off blue kickers, boxes...even been in the halfpipe AND enjoyed it (after my legs stopped shaking and my heart stopped pounding!) But it has to be said...this progression business is addictive. So much so that we're thinking about our options for coming back out next year even if it's just for a few months. But that's for a different blog altogether...
Now we're thinking about life after the season...getting back home to my lovely puppy who I have missed so much and can't wait to see again! (Thanks again Uncle G for kindly looking after our daft dog for so long!) However, I've been doing a lot of thinking about things I want to achieve in my life and I decided I should write a life goals list...so here it is. I don't expect anyone to read this, but it will act as a great reference in the future to see how much of it I have done!
In no particular order:
- Learn French
- Learn one other language (Italian/Spanish or something?)
- Improve my clothes making skills
- Learn how to make sewing patterns from scratch
- Learn how to breakdance
- Record a CD
- Pass my BASI Level 1...maybe Level2 and become a Snowboard Instructor
- Write a Childrens book
- Create and sustain a Dance Co (probably Youth...but we'll see)
- Raise a family :)
Well...that's it for now...I'll add more when I think of them...and tick off the ones I do...
Ciao x
