If I can jump anything is possible….

Two years ago yesterday I married the most special man in the world. Two years ago today I had my very first kitesurfing lesson and came to the conclusion afterwards that I would NEVER jump, even if I kiteboarded for 100 years. It was completely out of the realm of possibility for me. Jumping is something that cool, super athletic guys who are big time pros do. I didn’t belong in any of those categories.

Yesterday my wildest dream came true. I jumped… and then jumped and then jumped some more. It was the most crazy, awesome, exhilarating experience. And guess what? I was even landing my jumps. Yes, my friends. I have news for you. If I can land a jump ANYTHING you could ever dream of doing is possible.

The last two years have been a crazy fun adventure with Brett. Kitesurfing has been a big part of our time spent together. I have hated it and loved it, sometimes both within the same ten minutes. I have yelled at Brett and been yelled at. Kiting has caused me to cry, laugh and bleed. Despite all this I am very thankful for the chance to learn this highly challenging sport and am very grateful to Brett for never giving up on me.
