WEEKEND FUN

Wii + Friends = Fun

Friday night I had a wii party at my new place. It was a lot of fun…there were about 10 of us altogether. That is a good size, small enough that you get to actually play and large enough to have a good time. A friend of mine also brought the old school Nintendo so we had that going at the same time as the wii games. I also must thank Jenny for her great dip idea… it was a hit Jen! So, there were good people, good food, and fun games- what more could you ask for?

Intense Game of Super Mario Brothers

Wii Olympics- Good Times!

Snow + Snowshoes + Friends + Mountains = Fun

Saturday morning I met up with some friends to go snowshoeing. I just bought myself a pair of snowshoes, so I was excited to try them out. I also just bought a new pair of boots, too. I must say that my hands and my toes stayed rather warm… I think that is a first! It was a beautiful day to go hiking… it was cold, but sunny and beautiful. Once you got hiking it wasn’t so cold anymore anyway. We only got to be on the mountain for about an hour, but it was a lot of fun. I’m sure there will be more snowshoeing adventures to come.

Rodeo + Friends = Fun

The stock show is in Denver, so a group of us went on Saturday night. We got there early so we could walk around and look at all the booths that were set up. We also got to see a lot of animals up close and personal! I enjoy the bull riding (of course) and the steer wrestling the best. It was a fun evening.

Talk + No Ideas = Stress

My Bishop asked me to speak in the Sacrament meeting way back on December 9th. My topic was Fast Offerings and the blessings that come when we obey that commandment. I had to speak in church today, so you can see that I had quite a long time to prepare this talk. I thought and thought about it, but I was simply getting no ideas. Throughout the month I would jot down a thought or two if it came to me, but overall I had no idea what I wanted to say or what direction to take this talk…. Until about 6:00am this morning! Lets just say that I was pleasantly surprised with how well the talk turned out. I guess that is what happens when you turn it over the Lord and say the things He wants you to say. I had people tell me it was an awesome, inspired talk, so that made me happy.


Tag = I’m It

Questy tagged me to come up with six things that you may not now about me, so I am accepting the challenge. Here you go:

1- I’ve only had one “C” grade in my entire life. The class was Corporate Finance my Sophomore or Junior year of College. That was probably the hardest class I’ve ever taken in my life. I don’t think I’ve ever had to work so hard for a grade before… I definitely earned that C!
2- I have such poor circulation that my hands are constantly splitting on my fingertips and at my knuckles. I used to lotion up and wear cotton gloves at night to give my hands a fighting chance at being soft. I should start doing that again!
3- I hate the look of my hands. I purposely do not wear rings so I do not draw attention to them. My two crooked fingers (since I broke them and they did not heal properly) and my nasty purple, cracked, split skin doesn’t help. On the flip side, I love my stomach- its nice having a six pack! Kind of ironic that the part of me I love the most is never seen and the part I am most self-conscience about is constantly showing!
4- I do not like driving on the freeway and avoid it if I can. I much prefer driving the surface streets, even if it takes a few minutes longer.
5- I do not like to run. I love to be in shape, and I love to play sports, but I do not like to simply run for the fun of it (unless I am in the mood to go run, which happens on a very rare occasion).
6- I used to get such bad nose bleeds when I was young that I got my nose cauterized. I still get quite a few random nose bleeds, but it has been a long while since I’ve had an hour long one! In fact, the only times I have been to the emergency room in my life is when I had a super bad nose bleed (going on two hours from what I am told) and the time I got my head split open while playing racquetball.

There you have it, did you learn anything new about me? So, since this is a game of tag I now tag Katie to come up with 6 interesting things we may not know about you!
