Its been 12 weeks on crutches. I could be done with my first trimester of pregnancy right now. But…… things are starting to look good. I had x rays and things are looking a lot better. I was told I can start working off of crutches and that would be really nice. It has been a long time on them but a good one and all of it was on the beach so that was nice.
I am in Park City right now working with Jess at the Center of Excellence and had a stop in to visit all the big guys here and get some super good work from Jess and play in the pool. They have a treadmill and everything in it. I got to see some of the Speed boys before they head up to Vancouver for the big games. They are all stoked and ready to go. Good to see there energy and positive vibes! I hope everyone is getting ready for some serious Olympic spirit because its coming! TwentyTen is here and its time to start cheering on USA!

Its amazing how many times I have traveled through IDA…. too many, lucky they have a jamba juice now. Back on the road floating around, about to freeze. Maui is left on my skin kissed by the sun. Im excited to fluff around in some snow! The mountains are so powerful and give me such strength. Its not as crisp but clean and clear and stark cold nights with the whitest starts. I already had to dig my car out and have a family meal, Im so full, I want to be curled up in bed forever! Its HOME! I can’t wait to wake up to the winter sun and smell the sweet air. Hope everyone is having a good week!

LIttle by little I have made it week by week. It has been 8 weeks on crutches. Long weeks, even though time always flies by, it has been long. It helped to have the holidays to entertain part of those long weeks, and Maui is amazing for hanging out and healing. The vibe here is amazing. Its truly a one of a kind-kinda place. Soft, sweet, fresh, salty yet sweet. I enjoy being able to sit and look out across the ocean, dreaming of far away places and ideas. Letting the good and the bad thoughts twirl around in the wind and go crashing onto the rocks with the waves.

Lately It has been a bit stormy here with powerful swells coming in and hazing clouds cover the island. I like to get caught up with nature and relax into the moment. Its hard to do when you are injured and your thoughts are consumed with what will happen next, will I be able to do it, will I be scared…. so its nice to become one with something. To have faith in something and my faith is nature, the environment I am surrounded by. I like the birds and the leaves, the palm trees and the sunsets, the whales and the sea fish. I like to dive deep into the ocean with my eyes closed and the water massaging my body to become one with nature is so invigorating and calming.

I am about to start the next healing process. Its time to walk again. It may take a while, but Im ready to put that left foot down and to dig it into the sand and walk along the beach. I want to walk, it sounds so simple and easy but right now that is the biggest adventure I have coming my way and Im super excited!

Its my first Green christmas and Im so so so excited. Jackson was getting a bit to cold for me and dangerous trying to crutch everywhere on ice. Gnarly! So here I am in Maui relaxing in the sun, reading books, writing a bit, trying to get into some things to keep my mind busy. Oh Kevin’s been letting me use his sick camera and Im getting into photography. I really want to do a short film and learn how to do everything myself. Been going to some good christmas parties and hanging out on the beach with friends. Anytime I get a good laugh in Im happy! I am not as into baking as I was when it was a million degrees to cold in jackson and I was hiding out in my cabin. Now that Im back into summer weather its hard to get into baking. I am not slowing down on the eating though, I don’t know injuries must make you hungrier! A big week of cooking coming up. What is everyone cooking for Christmas dinner??? I am always so interested. Anyways here are some photos of the family and I took them so tell me what you think! Oh and check out our sweet tree! He he he

So I am finally making it out of my slump. Its been three weeks and its time to start shining again. Plus I don’t think I can keep eating so much ( thanks to my grandmas good home cookin) and lay in bed or Ill be 200 lbs before I know it. I have been doing well in therapy which is always the hardest part I think. You make it through the crash through the hospital and then you think you’re golden and you need to start learning how to bend your leg. Not sweet. Scott Harmon does such a great job at Jackson Hole Physical therapy in the Aspens so its all good. I am already to 90, unfortunately I think that was the easy part.

I have also been doing Pilates with Erin. She is a kick ass instructor and a great friend. She is so patient with me and knows the best exercises for a cripple mess like me. She just opened her new studio, CORE in jackson. If you are in town or live here she has great classes and privates!

And the big one for today is Christmas!!!!!!!!! Its coming! Its so close, I love this time of the year, dark, fire place is always going, cookies, cakes, cider, its the coziest time of year. Even though Im getting my cold butt out of here to Maui this year so I can at least be a little productive and get a tan. Its also the best time of year to treat yourself to some sexy radical cloths and what better way then to do it local! My girls Gillian and Laura put there good fashion sense and extraordinary talents to good use and started “For love and Lemons.” They are in their second season and kickin butt. The winter line is out and I have a few shots that I liked and lucky me, my pops got me a few items so I didn’t break any shopping rules! Either way if you want to feel sexy and look it get a piece for xmas! Go to forloveandlemons.com to get the rest!

Movember came and went so fast for me. It started out with a bang and ended with one too. I had a great time skiing my first and last slalom of the season and celebrating my big 24 in FInland. The best part was checking out all the great Mustaches the boys were rocking! Then the big Bang came and now I am on the road to recovery. So far I have had a few fun day trips up to the park to catch a breath taking sunset, got to help my brother celebrate his 21st. Made multiple amazing cakes and dinners with friends and try not to spend to much time watching abc.com, Oh and I got a great day christmas shopping in IF… but don’t worry didn’t break any shopping rules! Enjoy the holiday cheer!

Im alive, hiding from the world, healing once again, day after day the count down begins. Sadness doesn’t explain, more of an emptiness but at the same time grateful for all that I still have. This is never easy but what is. I have amazing people around me helping me and healing me and a world at my finger tips. Thank you everyone who has helped me along and who is sending love and prayers! It means the world to me.
