Sundance!!!

Snowboarding at Sundance was a blast on Thursday! I guess that all my postings so far have to deal with snowboarding. The first clip shows me falling & the second one I at least made it. Props to my roommate Tyson for his amazing filming. I promise that I'm still keeping up with my classes. Today is January 25th so that means it's Kirk's birthday today. Hooray! He's 32! Well, I talked to Ashley today & she is getting ready to go to Egypt on Sunday. She will be gone for 8 days. No contact so that will be hard, but we'll survive.

Snowboarding at Sundance!!!

Hello everyone (especially Ashley, I love you!)
So I just got back from snowboarding and it was awesome. There was a ton of powder and my instructor was really cool. As I got home I read an email from Ashley and she just informed me that Heath Ledger just died so that's sad. Well back to good things, it is still snowing here on the valley floor. As my roommate Tyson and I were leaving the resort, I was looking on the mountainside for wildlife. Two times ago I saw a moose and was wishing I had my camera. Well this time I was prepared but it was cold and the lens kept on fogging up. I at least got this picture of some ELK!!!!!!! The best part though is that there were three BIG bull elk together that were all at least 5 by 5's. I even hiked up about 50 yards closer in about 4 feet of powder and got pretty close. Probably about 50 yards from them. I didn't get any closer after one stamped its feet at me. What a fun experience! Maybe one of these days I can get a movie of me going off a jump or something on a snowboard!!!!!!!

So this is my first blog entry, and my first picture includes myself and my favorite person in the world, Ashley Kenner!!!!!! Ashley is currently on an amazing study abroad in Jerusalem. I guess anyone that would care to see this blog already knows that;). So lately I've just been missing Ashley, snowboarding, and trying to keep up with school. I have been cooking a lot. This week I made General Tsao's chicken, fettuccine alfredo, and ribs with baked potato. Thanks to Ashley's mother, I am now a proud owner of a bread machine and I am baking up a storm! Also I bought a sewing machine. I swear I am not a girl I just know my mother always wanted me to be educated in all aspects of life. I feel that this is a way I can still be connected with her. I must say I am having such a fun time doing these things and it has been a very positive experience. I'll try to take pictures of my final products and post them.
