Old News

I was cleaning out my Outlook E-Mail and found this message I sent out from 2008. Thought I would re-post it for documentation purposes.

Hi Everyone,
Mass e-mail is better than no e-mail at all right! Here's the latest news from the Smith's.
Marshall starts a new job this week. It is with a body armor company called First Choice. His territories are Illinois, Indiana, Iowa and Missouri. Further distances to travel, but no more nights away than before. Now he only has one product line and he's not actually doing the selling, he works for the manufacturer and supports the distributor. Its a good move. Came really out of nowhere. They recruited him.
I took Trent skiing for the first time last weekend at Alpine Valley. It was great! At first I had no idea what to tell him other than make the "V". So picture this: Skis are apart as wide as his legs will go, tips no where near each other, he's standing straight up and down and his arms are sticking straight out to the side. Oh and did I mention he's going straight down the hill, FAST! I had to either ski fast to grab him or tell him to push with one leg, which made him turn up the hill and then fall down, in which case he couldn't get up because his legs were wrapped around his body in a pretzel and he's screaming HELP! HELP, HELP, I CANT MOVE! Thank goodness our friends came with some advice and a little thing we attached to the front of the skis to keep them together. After that he really started to get the hang of it. I'm gonna try and go again this weekend. My calves are so sore though! Out of shape!
Callie's half-brithday tomorrow. I finally took the plunge to "big girl" underwear! Wish me luck!

With a start like that, its no wonder Trent ended his skiing career the way he did!
