Goals for this season:

-Not to end up on disability

-To ski/snowboard at least 10 times this year.

-Alan take Motrin before snowboarding so he wont have sore knees                                                -

-Michelle ski West Bowl and live to tell about it.

Alan, Josh and Myself set off to Las Vegas for The Clark Family Reunion/Thanksgiving. Twenty-Eight of Thirty-Two family members were able to make the trip. The reunion was a blast. I must say I don’t think any family can compare to the Clark Family. They are so full of love and open arms. I was comfortable with the family from the very first time I met each of them. Josh summed our trip up about an hour outside of Las Vegas when he said “It’s quiet, I’m really going to miss everyone”. -Michelle 

 As I spoke my vows I didn’t for a minute feel nervous or question the days events. I was elated and so overwhelmed that I would wake everyday to seeing my best friend in the morning. I think waiting to marry when one’s a little older gives a different appreciation to the union of marriage. I knew at 30 I wanted someone who really loved me and enjoyed the same activities as I do. I wanted to laugh with someone and be able to be sad with someone. To have someone that all emotions can be shared and accepted is invaluable. I have a partner who wants the same future, as I. Our outlook on life is parallel. I was accepted into an already made family with open arms. I still can’t believe how fortunate my situation is.  I felt contrite for my family and friends that they wouldn’t see us say our vows to each other, but at least we can include our family and friends in our lifetime of happiness. We have waited so long to finally be able to get married we couldn’t wait a minute more. I look onward to a lifetime with my husband. -Michelle

I can’t believe she is finally here. I finally get to hold her. She makes me smile so much my cheeks ache. I didn’t realize when Madison came into this world the tug she would have on my heart. To see this perfect little angel made with so much love. I look forward to everyday we get to spend with her. I look forward to every growing change she makes. We are so blessed to have her in our lives. -Michelle
