Last night

last night might have been one of the funnest I've had here at school.

-Pool Part in IF at this amazing house
-Twister in said pool
-Hot guys
-Spin the bottle. Yes that happened, and no, it never landed on me.
-Dubstep
-Mattress sliding down the stairs
-Double chocolate cookies
-Sleepover in the living room
-Mulan

It was a crazy night and I loved every second of it, I'm sad theres only one more week left. I'm going to miss my crazy roommates!

Went to bed around 3:30 then woke up at 7:30 to go to the gym. so dead.

purple and green armpits











This weekend I went to the color festival for the first time. What a cool thing! We made it a fast trip, woke up at 5 on Saturday and drove down. Then drove back that night getting in around 11. Look at the picture above where all the colors are being thrown. Notice how it just turns into a dust? Well theres this constant dust and chalk in the air which makes it quite difficult to breath. It was really difficult and it felt like I had chalk lining my throat! It was a fun filled day though if I do say so! Luckily my hair didn't get dyed! I got lucky, stef's is definitely still pink and green. The one thing that did get stained though was my feet and armpits. I kid you not, it looked like my feet were severely bruised and my armpits were dyed. I found it quite amusing.

crossfit games

1 month ago I signed up for BYUI's crossfit games. There were only 2 other girls on the list, and since I do it about 2 times a week i thought, "what the hey!?"

Then suddenly I was going to go out of town this weekend, so I did nothing to "prepare" myself for the games.

But alas, 3 days ago things changed and  I didn't go out of town so I decided to do it.
of course it took the convincing of some guys at the front desk to persuade me, but I decided to.

It was hard guys. like way hard. One of the girls was a BEAST. and I mean BEAST. and the other 2 were amazing too. There were only 4 of us, and it was clear I was the 4th best. Its not like I was bad or anything,  they were just better, they had been doing crossfit much longer. 

Well I was 100 points behind after the first 3 sets of workouts. But the last one involved swimming, and I beasted it. lapped all of them multiple times and pulled myself from 4th to 3rd! I was so happy.

I was at the gym from 9 in the morning to 3:30 in the afternoon. haha shooot!! There were like 20 guys, so for each event, there had to be about 3-4 heats. Hears the WOD if you care:

7 mins to find 1 RM Clean & Jerk

AMRAP in 18 minutes: 15 SDLHP (sumo dead lift high pull) (45lbs), 9 burpees, 9 pull-ups, 9 Overhead squat (45 lbs), 20 weighted lunges (25 lbs)

Behind the head ball throw, 3 chances for distance. 30 lbs

AMRAP in 11 minutes: 1 lap swim, 16 hand release push-ups, 1 lap swim, 16 air squats

I had an amazing time, a dang good saturday workout, and I found some crossfit buddies now!

I'm so much more motivated than I was before, I'm gunna start training for next semesters games!

I'm going to start working out with 2 girls I met and one of the guys, tuesdays, wednesdays, fridays and saturdays. So pumped I found other girls that do crossfit!

also, monday i will run 13 miles, my first half marathon! On my own around rexburg.....haha, fun stuff!

what was I thinking

about 4 years ago I decided to stop skiing because I always got so cold, and so after and hour or 2 I would be ready to stop. It just wasn't worth the money.

This past saturday I went skiing for the first time since 2008. Sweet mother of pearl why did I stop?!?!
It was the best time I've had in a long time! Not to mention the snow we had was incredible. We were skiing in snow to our shins and knees the whole time and I even got into some snow up to my chest! It was amazing. I picked it right back up too.

Well my friends, I think its safe to say that it wont be 4 years before I go skiing again.

A lot of Bread

well my friends, yesterday was the 29th and oh how I wished it had been a leap year because I wanted to go grocery shopping so bad! I had no food and was just waiting till March's money to come in so I could shop. Normally I would use plasma money to buy the extra food I needed, but my friends, we decided we wanted to go skiing this Saturday. which I am WAY excited about. So I've been saving plasma money for the past 3 times. I'll donate tomorrow and finally have enough to enjoy a day on the slopes.

Well, since I had no food, I knew I couldn't go all day without eating so I figured I could sacrifice 2 dollars of my plasma money to get a loaf of bread. So thats what I did. I bought it at noon and it was gone by midnight last night. That my friends is incredibly embarrassing. but was it worth it? Heck yes!!

I cannot wait to go skiing I haven't been in years! Stef, Trev, myself and some others will be going. Its gunna be a party :) Especially with all the snow we've been getting!!

Like dang gina. Rexburg is finally being rexburg. we had a foot and a half snow drift in front of our door. it was awesome.

Have a good Thursday! Just have to get through 2 hours of New Testament tonight and then its the weekend for me!! :) yay!
