Snowboarding and girly retreats! weee!!

Went up north to my family cabin with 7 of my best girlfriends this weekend. I wouldn't trade them for the world. Such good times were had by us all and fond memories were made. Games, fires, movies, cooking, cocktails, mountains, nail painting, hair doing, chit chatting, story telling..... and HUGS!!! Best weekend with my ladies EVERRRR!





So we came home Sunday night and had a big BBQ with the fellas (they missed us terribly and nearly starved) and my fella and I decided on a whim (my favorite) to take off and go snowboarding. I've been talking a big game about being willing to learn to snowboard.... it was time to step up to the plate! We drove up and stayed at Mary and Bryan's house then hit the mountain early in the morning. I knew he was pro-level good but I was utterly blown away by his ability. I see why he craves it. I, on the other hand, sucked pretttttty badly at first. I was pretty shocked that I ended up getting and having a lot of fun by the end of the day. I had some pretty wicked crashes and my entire body is sore and bruised today. Ouch. So worth the pain. Can't wait to go again with him next week!




Oh, and this one is from the Dice Magazine party.... so fun!
