Last weekend I made Matt very happy. The man got to go snowboarding. He's been dying to go for some time now, and for a short stint in January he was driving me crazy to let him go all by himself. I was not having it and told him he if he could not secure a buddy to go with, he was just going to have to wait till I could make the trip with him. Well, good things come to those who wait because he was able to go last weekend over the 3 day break. Of course I could not ski, so I watched him some and then went inside the lodge to thaw my rear end from sitting in the snow. I did get to snowtube a few times, which was fun. Anyhow, it was quite crowded. And there I sat at the bottom of this hill looking at people all dressed alike wondering if I would even be able to spot my husband. I was seriously delighted to find out that I could pretty much tell which snowboarder was him by the way he rides. People would shoot down the hill, turning occasionally to reduce their speed a bit. And then I would see someone coming down the hill carving out huge swooping "S" shapes in the snow. Just gliding back and forth. That was him. Matt said it was the "old fart" style. I saw a few other people that rode in that style, but not too many. It made me really wish that I was able to ski, but skiing is a big "no no" for me and baby.
I love that he always wears his helmet
On Valentine's Night we decided to check out one of the Riverboat Casinos. Matt and I aren't much on gambling, but we'll play a small amount. Well, the funniest part of the evening was when I gave Matt $5 to play video poker on the nickel machine (Wooo! see what High rollers we are). He wasn't gone 2 minutes before he returned with this confused look on his face. I asked him if he had cashed out. He explained how he had sat down, put his money in the machine and hit "Max Bet". Only after he lost that first bet did he realize he had just used 100 credits (his whole 5 dollars). He was surprised because the machine we had just left the Max Bet was 6 credits. "SOB took my 5 dollars" was what he kept saying with his confused puppy face. I just gave him 5 more dollars and told him to keep his finger off the Max Bet button.
Our drive home was pretty nerve racking. We woke up to a lot of snow in Ohio to begin our trip home. They were expected to get around 9 inches. Needless to say it took us longer than usual to get home, but we made it just fine. Worn out, but safe and sound.
