So yea... this weekend was the ski retreat for my church. I went.
Friday Night
Lizzle and I went to the Chinese Buffet and had dinner. It was funny... KUNG POOOOO CHICKEN. Yea, so after that we went to the Holy Names varsity basketball game. Holy Names was playing against Lansingburgh... HN won by 10 pts. We saw this one family, oh my... I sware they were home schooled... there was like 10 of them ranging from ages 17-infant. They had that whole... rugged farm like look to them, haha it was so funny. Yea, after that we went home to pack for the weekend... I didn't get to sleep til probably um, 1:30AM. I had to get up at 5:00AM. Nice 3.5 hours of sleep :-p.
Saturday
We left at 6:30AM and went to Gore. The trip up was fun, I was in the car with Liz, Adam, Nicole, Ashley(i think) and Joe(adams friend). We got there at arund... 8:45? Yea, and we got to the lodge, got dressed and emily and I went to rent our snowboards. Yes, I was going to learn how to board. So... we get out on the snow... and by um... an hour after we began I bruised my tailbone. Being the trooper I am, I got back up... after nearly puking and crying... and boarded down. Then I went back up and fell again bruising it again... ouchies. Oh yea... I'm goofy footed too... HAHA AWESOME. So the guy, Bob, that was teaching us how to board, decided to bring us up a chair lift so we could board down. About half way down, I fell so hard that I did cry, almost puked again because it hurt so much and didn't move. Bob had to walk up the mtn to come get me :-/. I walked down the mtn the rest of the way and went into the lodge for the rest of the day. I had trouble sitting and ended up having to sit between two chair(stools) the rest of the day. I bought a pair of blue boarding/skiing sunglasses... they are awsome. And Emily got a massage :-p. We left there at around umm... 4:30?
Saturday Night
On the way home, we stopped at The Cracker Barrell, which I pronounce Crackel Barre, and we had a nice 22 people diner. Liz, Em, Cameron and I sat at a table together... we made momma jokes all night. It was great. We also made fun of each other's sexual experiences... oh boy. We left at around 8:00. We got to Camp Pinnacle sometime later that night. That's where we stayed the night. We had a little session with a speaker from NYC... it was fun. We stayed on the same floor as um... probably around 20 guys from West Point. Liz knew one of them, Wesley, and his friend Taylor was interrested in me I guess. We walked around the camp, went to the loft, watched part of Napoleon Dynamite and then finally came back to the rooms and had to go to sleep. Wes wanted Liz to get up at 6 and say goodbye/hang out for a little... she wanted me to also. So, we go to sleep..
Sunday
Liz get's up at around 5:00 and tries to wake me up, she thought I was getting up... but I don't even remember her shaking me. So I didn't get up. Taylor was a little... angry I guess that I wasn't there... he wanted to come into my room and wake me, but Liz wouldn't let him. They left, I got up at 7:30 and took a shower... found out a lil something... tisk tisk. Liz gave Taylor my screen name, I guess we're gonna talk online. So, we had breakfast, packed and went back to church for service... then had lunch and left for Jiminy Peak at around 2:30. I was in the car with Liz, Adam and his friend Sean. We got there and I skiied this time!!
Sunday Night
I went down the mountain 3 times... the first time was like... icky, the 2nd and 3rd times were awesome. The first time Peter stayed with me as we went down, because I was iffy about the ice. The 2nd time I was in front of everyone, Adam, Liz, and Peter almost the entire time... let's say I got the hang of the ice. The 3rd time I went down with Pastor Jon, Brendan Foulke, Kyle Grippin, Peter, Cameron and Adam. It was awesome! Except Cameron got a concussion. Then I did one round half way up the mtn with Corey Grippin... and went in for the rest of the night. Some of us went to tavern and had some fries and soda... it was fun. After that, we had to come home :(. We left around 9:45. I was in the van with Liz, Sean and Cameron. We had to keep Cam awake because he got 2 concussion that night. It was funny, Cam and I sang Queen and some other oldies, while Liz and Sean were in the back spooooooning. We kept Cam awake and he was the wierdest person during the trip home. We got back to the church and packed up, then I came home. Oh yea... the entire day my tailbone was killing me, I took about 18 motrin's during the weekend.
So that was my weekend. Fun eh?
