Love long weekends

We went skiing for 7 hours on Saturday. It was incredible! Jason and his friend Pete, who came with us, are so much better at skiing than I am. They were flying down the hills, spinning, and skiing backwards... then there was me. Thankfully they were amazingly patient as I was perfecting my skills :) I've only been skiing 3 times in my life and I've never had the proper skiing stuff. (Goggles are a necessity for me since I wear contacts). It was so much fun though and before I knew it I was going down "black diamonds" -not horribly fast by any means, but getting down them nontheless.

The most adventurous part of it, though, was the weather. It was raining...hard! Freezing rain. All the hills were nothing less than puuuure ice. 30 minutes after we got in it started raining sleet. There was no way we were going to blow $80 by leaving so we toughed it out. Jason looked like a glazed donut and the rain cleared most everyone outta there- which meant less lines on ski lifts yay!

We had so much fun and I wish we could go more...it's just SO expensive.

We went to a wedding this weekend also. Jason was the usher in his friend's expensive wedding and I just tagged along to the rehearsal, rehearsal dinner, wedding ceremony, and reception. It wasn't fun for me since I knew virtually no one. But such is life.

We played SO much Settler's of Caatan this weekend and introduced 5 people to the game! They all loved it! We also played some good ole' rook, which we're also crazy about.

Last night I talked with my little bro for 2 hours. I love my brother! We have such great conversations. I love that we're so close. I just hope we stay close- even when they have a girl in March :) We talked about the whole Calvinism/Armeniesm argument. Fun to disuss, but rather pointless to a degree. People think they can figure God out, failing to realize we can't know everything about God. All we need to know is that God is sovereign and all things are under His control. He knows who His children are. End of story!

So that was my weekend in a nutshell. My body is aching from skiing Saturday. I almost called in sick today, but I'm proud cause I didn't :)
