Last I wrote it was my last week of winter break, but now I've started a new semester of school and it's already February! Can't believe how fast that went by! Well my big adenture of January was snowboarding! Yes my first time ever! So on Saturday Jan. 26th my dad, Cassie and myself went up early to snoqualmi pass so I could get there in time to get my rentals, lift ticket and take a lesson. Shauna, Kurt and Nicky were comming up later to meet us. So I took my lesson, which I was absolutly HORRIBLE at! I kept falling and doing the splits and stuff and I was totally behind the rest of my group and I kept running/hitting other people!!!, (it was actually pretty pathetic!) but thankfully my dad was there to come pick me up when I fell...more times than I can count! After almost 2 hours of me only learning how to turn 2 different ways with only ONE foot in my lesson was over! This whole time the others hadn't shown up so Cassie was just watching cuz she didn't wan to go up by herself. So I decided to go up the lift with her. (I've come to find out that I am really terrible at getting off the ski lifts:[ haha.) So it's my 1st time on a lift, going down a mountain and putting two feet in the board on this run with Cassie. But I picked it up and did considerably well my first time! The rest of my friends showed up and we had so much fun! My best run down the hill was only falling twice:D yay! But i ended up getting really tired before everyone else because that lesson killed me so it was hard to pull myself up! So that was my super fun snowboarding experience!(and I'm still recovering from the soreness :] haha) Anyway so now this semester I'm in art instead of yoga which is really fun and relaxing (we started by drawing popcorn and peanuts! haha). Anyway this month has been great, besides the passing of President Gordon B Hinckley, which isn't as sad because as Tawnya Burton said as I heard the news, "He's probably up there giving Marjorie a big sloppy kiss" :Dhaha. But we will miss him. I hope this month will be equally as wonderful for everyone:]

Sounds fun, Julianne! When I was in middleschool, they took us all once a year, and the Honor Society also got to go once a year. Skiing, that is. So I've been six times, all between the ages of 11 and 13.
I never got very good, and one time I went on a really hard run by myself and spent the whole day trying to get down the mountain! After that, I stayed on the bunny hill and the smallest run and had much more fun.
I'm glad you had fun too.
I saw your comment on Tearese's page and had to say hello - welcome to the wonderful world of blogging!
Although we missed you terribly on the snowshoeing adventure, your snowboarding trip sounded like a great time - & that's fabulous!
Hey, I heard you did very well. Give yourself some credit. Which now bunny are you? Or were you taking the picture? Cute ice skating picture too.
Snowboarding is so much fun. The first day is the hardest and yes the sore muscles bite. Each time you will go and be better until suddenly your whipping down the hill with no problems at all. When that happens it feels so wonderful, as if there is a connection between you and the snow. I know that sounds weird but it is so awesome. I hope you go back soon.
