Steamboat Rule!

This weekend we spent a much needed weekend in the mountains with a few of our besties. Friday night, we headed to Steamboat Springs with Phil and Nikki for a weekend full of skiing and hanging out.

I love, love hanging out with these cute engaged people. Phil and Adam go way back. If you didn't know, Phillip is Jordan Mann's older brother, so Adam and Phillip have known each other since high school. Phillip and Nikki have been together for about 3 years- so we have gotten to know each other quite well.

This weekend, we instituted the "Steamboat Rule". This means, if there is an annoying topic being discussed, someone is bickering or someone is being annoying and/or mean. You can institute the Steamboat Rule. When the Steamboat Rule is called- you have two minutes to finish your conversation, fight or discussion and then you have to drop it. No questions asked.

examples: me/Adam bickering or Nikki/Phil. A Nikki/Emily wedding conversation or gossip fest, etc. You get the point.

Then that got us talking about in 15 years when we all have kids how cool would it be if we were all together and one of our kids called out "Steamboat Rule" on someone.... but seriously, this is a good rule to institute in a relationship.

On a side note I actually can kinda snowboard now. I have officially graduated from falling constantly and having the wrong technique to looking like an actual snow boarder. I think my new ski gear helped.
