Snowboarding baby!!

I went snowboarding for the first time yesterday!! I had a blast! We got up to Beaver Mountain

and got our snowboards. The toughest part was getting to the ski lift! I fell a ton. Kinda embarrassing, but oh well! When I got off the ski lift I did a bit of a somersault.. Wes told me it looked awesome though, so that works! Another time i got of the ski lift I stayed up and randomly fell and twisted funny so it made my hip twist.. I wish I had a video camera to capture all the times I fell! Wes was the best, he was totally patient with me and taught me the basics. He encouraged me and helped me keep my confidence level up. I went up the hill 4 times, and each time I fell less. It was just a way fun experience! I was really impressed with the guys in our ward too. They were so sweet and so willing to help us out. Drew carried my snowboard for me when I was way freezing. All around I was very impressed with the guys. I would totally go snowboarding again!! I am SO sore today, but I knew that was going to happen so it isn't a big deal!! I have had a cough for like 5 days, and being in the cold turned the cough into a full blown cold. Oh well though, I am still happy that I finally tried snowboarding! :]

Tired and sore from a long but fun night.. 

But we still had a blast!!!!!!! 

Birthday/ Daniel's Farewell

My 20th birthday was great! A few days before we had birthday cake with some people in my ward, and that was a lot of fun! Emily made the cake and organized the whole thing! Thanks girl, you are the best roommate ever! On Friday night I went to dinner at Texas Roadhouse with my family and got a journal and $100 dollars from grandpa and sherin! Then I got the cutest zebra suitcase and two new pair of converse tennis shoes and an I love Dr. McSteamy t-shirt(he is my favorite doctor on Grey's Anatomy) from my mom, grandma, and sisters. On my birthday I went shopping with mom and the sisters and we went to Bride Wars. It was the cutest movie ever! I loved it! I went to dinner with Dimitri that night and loved it!! 

Smiling at my party! 

Today was my friend Daniel's farwell. I have known him for 8 years! It's crazy to think about that. He is headed to Belgium and the Netherlands on January 28th. He is going to be an absolutely amazing missionary I just know it. I am going to miss him so much! He has been such a great friend, and will continue to be such an amazing friend and influence in my life. I love you Daniel! You are the best! 

Me and Daniel.. we've been through tons together, and I have loved every minute of it!

First Day of the Semester

Today was the first day of the semester. My classes seem like they will be fun and interesting :] in one class I get to sell my book back, cause I don't have to read it! That's a happy thought for sure. I have work soon too, which should be fun! It's fun to see the kids. So today, I have fallen on the ice TWICE. My hip hurts. It's times like these that I ask myself "Why didn't I go to ASU"? haha. oh well. :]
