Magnificent Monday!

Monday was truly a magnificent day! I was grateful to have the day off from work, and thanks to some amazing friends of mine I was able to go snowboarding :) :). 

I woke up in the early morning and met my new friend Schlib up in Park City at The Canyons. 

A little side note here, I have only been snowboarding 3 times in my whole life, the last time 5 years ago.

 I was expecting Lib to do his own thing, but surprisingly he stuck with me and was actually a very good teacher! He had to leave for work around 1:00 which was precisely the time Danielle came up to play. Another side note, Danielle is just as awful as I am! Although I must say by the end of our day we were pretty darn good. You probably wouldn't be able to tell, though, judging on our bruises.

This picture does NOT do this bruise justice, but this is Danielle's arm...after me running over it...with my board... oopsies :)

HAHA I cant help but laugh so hard every time I think about our collision. I was practicing riding toe-side when I may have gotten a bit out of control and began to haul serious butt towards Danielle. Did I mention I was backwards!? I could barely see Danielle out of the corner of my eye when I started yelling "MOVE DANIELLE!" I don't know why I commanded her to move so abruptly when she can barely stand up on a   snowboard as it is. The next thing I knew we were involved in a full on back-to-front collision. I am still trying to figure out how I ended up about 5 feet in front of her. Regardless, the people on the lift right above us got an earful of fun words.

 

After a long but fantastic day on the mountain it was time to head home. We made some dinner and then to end our wonderful day watched How to Train Your Dragon.

I cannot wait to go again! My next goal (besides becoming a snowboarding champion) is to get my mom out here to go with me! Love you mommy :)
