A promise is a promise

Well, now that I am home and staple free as of today, slowly starting to feel better and hurt less--I thought I would go ahead and tell you of the last snowmobile trip of the season.  In my previous blog I did share a couple photos, from the ice shelf on Lake Superior.

This has to be the most amazing thing. I know it's not super significant, but since I have never seen anything like this, nor had my husband or my son, it made the trip worth it.

Let's start here, snowmobiling is NOT my favorite thing to do. I actually find it very boring, let me tell you why. First, you ride by yourself and talk to yourself, please don't misunderstand; you have a group of people, but you are on your own snowmobile using hand signals unless you stop. Second, it's very easy to get cold. Third the trails can be really rough. Fourth, the towns you stop at, usually miles apart, consist of a bar/restaurant and a gas station, usually not very nice.  Fifth, well I could go on all day as to why I don't like it...but I think everyone gets the point.
Do you want to know why this trip was the best trip ever?
We went all the way up to Newberry in the U.P. The last trip to Newberry, well it wasn't great. This time we arrived right after a snow storm which made for wonderful trails.

It was also really cool when you were riding down the trail and there was snow as high as you! When we were stopped, I stepped off the trail to take this photo

and the snow was up past my knees!
The whole time I was riding, I kept thinking I can not wait to blog a bout this trip! The trails were smooth, the snow was piled up and the tree stumps looked like mushroom because of the giant piles of snow on top of them. It was beautiful!  As many times as I have been snowmobiling, this trip will always be remembered, with the smooth like butta trails and the ice shelfs!  Oh it was the first time I got to go snowmobiling with my son too!

This blog should have been done sooner, like right after I got off the snowmobile, so you would have been able to feel my excitement, but like I said, I will never forget this trip.
Until next time friends!

Forgiveness

Ok, Ok, I know that I have said that I am going to try to keep up with this, I actually have a legitimate excuse which I have wanted to share with everyone but I didn't know how to do it......well 1. I have an ovarian cyst, and I need have to it all removed via c section scar--which will result in some time in the hospital--but the good news is I will be down, and I will have time to get caught back up, so bear with me.
2.  I was taking the 40 hour class and I was just about finished when I found about about need to have this surgery, so I had two weeks, and I thought I am going to get this finished.  Passed the class and the final exam and got the state exam scheduled!  I am officially a licensed real estate agent, working with CENTURY 21 Drews Realty.   There are a few more things I have to get finished up but hopefully by April I will be going good!

That said, I wanted to say, we went on a snowmobile trip which was ended up being the last one of the year---and let me tell you, it was the BEST!  Right now I am only going to share a few photos, and I will share the rest later, but I can't wait any longer to show these because it was the most amazing thing---Lake Superior ice shelfs:

My husband is the only one who managed to drive out there--it was so slippery, but while we were looking over the edge, I felt as if a penguin should hop up there! It was the most amazing thing!

Promise to share more about this trip as soon as I can!
