winter break! yay!.... is almost over.

wow i havent updated this in forever.
so i decided to ditch using proper capitalization because the shift button is so scary haha.
but anyways! this winter break has been.... short. to say the least haha

the trip to mammoth last week was awesome though! i went to the slopes 3 of the 3 days that we were there. strangely, i wasnt tired after the 3rd day O.o i seem to have an affinity for snowboarding long amounts without tiring out haha. anyways, 2 of the 3 days was full on blizzards. like literally what you had to do when you got off the lift was: 1.)attach boots 2.)bend knees 3.)go and pray you dont run into anything... or anyone. haha it was so severe that the visibility range was about... 2 feet. meaning i couldnt even see the ground under me haha it wasnt too bad though. the 3rd day.... was perfection. clear visibility for MILES (oops. i used the shift button) around and the blizzards from previous days left a deep blanket of fresh white powder. my pastor, friend, and i got bored of the regular groomed trails and decided to go backcountry snowboarding and we cut our own trail down the slope, which was pretty awesome. most memorable moment of the trip?: i hit my forehead on an overhanging branch while backcountry snowboarding. thank god it was a really weak branch.

ADVICE FOR ANYONE ELSE HITTING THE SLOPES:
1. watch where youre going. always. -_-
2. try sitting with random people on the lifts, the people that are not actual creepers are pretty interesting to talk to. from the average housewife from santa monica to the pro-boarder traversing the nation looking for the best powder, ive talked to them and they each have their own story of the slopes. its pretty englightening
3. NEVER stop in areas of deep, lightly packed snow. it is a pain in the *** to get out. -.-

so other than my excursion to the slopes of california, not much else happened in my break other than:
1. my nephew turned 1 (im an uncle?? i feel old.)
2. i got an awesome webcam (haha late night camwhoring ftw)
3. uhh... i made some new friends haha hey there melissa and kim. (im such a creeper, i know.)

new years resolution?:
update blog more frequently. hah
