Snowboarding Adventure!

On Tuesday I went snowboarding for my first time with Lauren and Lauren. We had SO much fun! Lauren F. had been once before, but me and Lauren A. were pathetic beginners! My first time down the mountain I was not sure what I had gotten myself into! I fell into a giant pile of snow getting off the ski lift, and never went long enough to gain the speed I'd need to make it up the hills that were on the way down! The Laurens were ahead of me trying to get Lauren A going, and I was far behind trying to figure out how to get UPhill! I ended up CRAWLING to them! While I was doing this, a boy stopped in front of them and asked if it was their first time down the mountain, then road away laughing! So HUMILIATING! However, after my second time down I had the feel for it and was able to make it down the hill (and up the uphill parts) without even falling! Lauren A never really caught on thought :) We were always waiting for her at the bottom and were ready to get back on the lift before she was even in sight! Though I proved to be pretty natural at snowboarding, I never exactly caught on to the whole Ski Lift thing. One time Lauren and Lauren ended up getting on without me because I didn't make it on time and they couldn't stop. The next time I refused to ride alone again, but got a little ahead of myself and got stuck in front of them with this "Hippie" couple! I still had a lot of fun though! On the way home, we got pulled over, apparently we missed the sign where the speed limit changed from 40 to 50. Luckily, the cop left Lauren's mom with a verbal warning and we were on our way back home!

Spring Fever!

I was so close to giving up on this whole blogging thing but I guess I will go ahead and give it another try! Anyway this one was another fun, perfect weekend! Friday night, Me, Lauren, Lauren, James, Matthew, Gil, Daniel, and Brett hung out at the park playing with scooters, swords, and lightsabers for a couple hours. A couple older kids from their ward came up after awhile and gave us all a ride to Gil's house. You shoulda seen the way we fit 8 of us in the back of that tiny car! Anywho, at Gil's house we watched an old movie called "Hoot" and just hung out and ate popcorn and stuff. Today was even more fun. Me and Lauren A walked down to Wendy's for lunch. After that we went over and talked to Bryan for awhile. He's been sick for awhile so we had a lot to talk about. Me and Lauren went to the park for a couple of hours after that and played tennis. It was way fun, but both of us have a lot to learn about that sport, especially me! We went to wal mart and hung out for a few minutes and then walked back home. After all those hours in the first sunshine of the year I finally got a burn! I am hoping it tans :) Tonight me and Lauren watched the ultimate chick flick: A walk to remember! We finished that about an hour ago and now I am just chillin at home waiting to be tired enough to sleep!
