It's been a weekend of firsts...the biggest being learning how to ski. Here Christie, Amy, Fiona and I hit the slopes of the Remarkables for the day. I took a lesson in the afternoon to learn how to actually stay upright on the skis. I haven't mastered the art of staying in control yet but I think I'll get there with practice. 

This unfortunately was my first stack.

I started off ok but then started veering left and ...

ahhh, didn't want to crash into the snow fan so...

down I came. Oh, well. I was better then next attempt :) I promise!

The other first was being in a photo shoot this morning. Long story short but a professional photographer wanted to shoot some lifestyle shots in Queenstown and because we were in Queenstown for the weekend, we were able to coordinate our times. It was a contact of Christie's and he wanted to photograph us jogging in the misty morning. We didn't really know what we really needed to be doing but the photographer seemed happy and wants to photograph us if we are ever back in town. So watch out for me in a magazine somewhere or on a billboard in a city near you! I'll show you a sneak peak when we get a copy of them (if any of them turned out alright!)
