Bode Miller teaches new wife to ski

[mustski]

I don't think he was married before, though he did have a child from a previous relationship.

He married pro beach vollyeball player, Morgan Beck, in September or October.

So does that mean that he is taking up beach volleyball now?

I did indeed read something about them playing volleyball together.

Oh my gosh. I was reading about his injury and when he'll return to skiing, and the article also talked about how he and his wife met. I didn't know they've only known each other 5 months! And that he saw a poster of her and basically got the hots for her. Too funny.

Just a few months ago, Miller didn't know Morgan Beck.​

But she definitely knew of him.​

Her first encounter with Miller was when she was a teenager and attending the 2002 Salt Lake City Games with her parents. She was doing her English homework one night when loud music began blaring from the condo next door.​

"My parents went outside and it was Bode Miller. They were like, `That Bode Miller!' recounted Morgan Miller, who changed her last name after they were wed on Oct. 7. "Little did we know that 10 years later I was going to marry the guy."​

This is how they met: Miller was visiting his agent, Lowell Taub, when he happened to see a picture of Morgan hanging on the wall. He asked all about her. He later gave her a call when she was at a beach volleyball tournament in Fort Lauderdale, Fla. Miller happened to be in town as well, to pick up a new houseboat. He asked if he could come out and watch.​

Her initial response was no. She didn't want to be nervous with him in the stands.​

She relented and he showed up. They've been inseparable ever since.​

They were married on his houseboat in San Diego, with just the wedding officiant, a photographer and their cat in attendance.​

"Bode had the mentality that if you know it's right, then there's no point in waiting," said Morgan Miller, who was an outside hitter at California. "It's great."​

So after Bode took his wife skiing and it went so well, they decided they should try golfing together too... Morgan took a golfball right in the eye...50+ stitches....the graphic photo from Morgan's instagram: https://instagram.com/p/TKWS0bJFhX/ I think Bode should stick to skiing.

Oh, that's just nasty. So much for her modeling career.... (not that she needs to work anymore, I guess)

But really, where was she standing?? I don't know that much about golf, but I know where to stand when someone is swinging....
