Wishing

I want to go snowboarding.  Watching the Olympics hasn't helped.  Even if I can't pull a Double McTwist 1260... or even make it down the hill without snowplowing the whole way, I am still inspired by it.  I want to go down a mountain on my board.  The worst thing is we are actually pretty close to some really good mountains.  However, due to space we left all our boards and boots in storage, and we just don't have the money for lift tickets and rentals.  *Sigh* So instead I will just look at these pictures of what Niki and I could be doing instead of homework.

It's Official

Niki and I are going on a date... yup a real one. And this isn't one of those were someone else is paying... nope it's a genuine $68.23 . We're going to go and hit up Switchfoot and Copeland on Feb 24th!! Nothing says I love you like a rock Concert :D Anyway I'm totally pumped to go and see Copeland in Concert, and hey Switchfoot isn't too bad either. And the fact that I am taking my best friend in the world is pretty sweet as well!!!!

Snowboarding went really well on Wednesday. It was nice to make it down the hill without falling. I can't wait to go again. Next step is learning how to switch from heel edge to toe edge... should be fun.

Yup that's all for now, back to sermon prep.

Snowboarding

So yesterday was a blast. I never got really good at it, nor did I manage to make it down the hill more than 20 feet at a time. And today I can't turn my head, and I have a killer pain in my rigth wrist, but it was totally worth it and I can't wait to go again later this month. Anyway here is a few shots of me trying my hand at snowboarding.

Sore

So I'm a little sore today... I started working out again the other day. I don't make new years resolutions, BUT, I did feel the need to start being more active and this seemed like as good a time as any to start back up. So far it has been very enjoyable... even if I can't lift my hands above my head now. I was looking online for some info to help me get some good results and I found this article on MSN about ten ways to get thin. Number three was pray the fat away. Apparently Christian men who report feeling greater intimacy with God through prayer are more likely to be physically active than other men. You can read the whole story (here)

But I'm told I'm in for a bit of an experience. On Sunday Niki and I are going snowboarding. Every one who's been before tells me to get ready to be VERY sore for the next few days after. I'm really excited to try this new experience. Niki and I have been talking about doing this since we met, so it's about time we just do it. I'll let you know how it goes.... if I can get out of bed on Monday.
