Skiing With Krista
Krista and I went skiing on March 5. She is an employee of Bogus Basin so we both got to go for free. Because it was a Wednesday and everyone was at school, there was hardly anyone on the slopes. The snow was really great and the weather was good. I could have gone without a hat and gloves. Yea for spring skiing!
I couldn't find any goggles at our house so I had to use my HUGE sunglasses.
Krista rented boots. The guy at the ski shop mocked the microskis. I felt like white trash. It was a proud moment.
You may not believe it, but this is not a flat surface. This is the bunny hill. Krista was learning how to ski so we spent a lot of time of the bunny hill.
That is me being awesome on the bunny hill.

1. 10 years ago I was 14 years old and awkward. I was inching my way into the choir crowd, playing the piano while Kelly played the pedals in YW, and thinking I was cool because I had a few friends with a drivers license. I also remember that one of my favorite stores 10 years ago was Deb in the mall because they sold smiley face t-shirts and shiny shirts.
2. Five things on my to-do list today: Work, paint wood with my parents, call some people to get letters of recommendation, read at least one more chapter in 'East of Eden', pick up lunch from Goodwood.
3. Things I would do if I became a billionaire: Travel the whole world several times over and send a lot of deserving SE Asians to the temple in Hong Kong.
4. Three of my bad habits: Knuckle popping, sleeping in slightly too late, being impatient
5. Five places I have lived: Boise, ID; Provo, UT; Muang Thong Thani, Thailand; Sisaket, Thailand; Ubonratchathani, Thailand
6. Five jobs I've had: Substitute teacher, PS 100 TA, Nuvont, YMCA, babysitter
7. Something most people don't know about me: I built a whole furniture set complete with shelves and storage with my dad during college. It rocks. I don't use it for my bed anymore, but I still use most of the pieces and I love it. It is very well made.

The Wai (pronounced WHY)
You greet people with a Wai. You can say thank you with a wai. You say goodbye with a wai. Pretty much you will wai a lot in Thailand. You put your palms together and place them anywhere between your chest and forehead. You always wai people older than you. They may choose to wai you back or not. You don't initiate a wai with someone younger than you. The higher the wai, the more respect is being paid to the person receiving the wai.
By the way, hello is "Sawat-dee." Thank you is "cob-coon." Goodbye/good luck is "choke-dee"
In less than 4 months....
ABOVE: This is the Sisaket group at the Christmas program. I know because of the shepherd's crook in Jimeesik's hand. Everyone is dressed up in traditional dance clothing. Isn't it great and Asian?BELOW: These are some members in Pakkret. These members are completely awesome and then some. The little toddler is the daughter of Phii Nok (the lady in the wheelchair) that got baptized. I knew her when she was just 3 weeks old. Now she is over 2!!
We are going to Thailand in less than 4 months and I am pretty excited. I think it is time that I start giving language tips and culture tips so you will all be prepared. For today I just want to introduce you to some awesome people that you are likely to meet.

Experiments with Photos
Lately I have had a lot of free time on my hands. I decided to spend some of it figuring out Photoshop Elements. It is a really great program once you start to figure out how to do some things. Here are some of my creations from the last couple of days.
