Ice Skating!!

Yesterday me and a couple friends went ice skating at the local rink. I hadn't been ice skating since.......well............forEVER. So I was kind of nervous because the last time I was on skates, I broke my thumb. Of course, those were rollerskates, and I was going down a hill, but I am much more apt at those than ice skates. I got the hang of it pretty fast, and soon didn't need to hold a wall or anyone's hand. Of course, there were all these little 9 year old twirl girls out there that were doing spins and jumps and stuff, while all the rest of us hobbled along, struggling to keep balance. I was super excited because I didn't fall once!! We took tons of great pictures, too. Our legs started to get tired after a while, so we took off our skates and handed them back to the lady behind the counter. Then we all piled into the car and went to Jay Berry's for lunch. Me, Hannah, and Emma got Italian sodas (strawberry for them, cherry for me) and then we split a Chefs Special pizza (tomatoes, feta cheese, spinach, artichoke hearts) and a Pepperoni. Emma got pancakes. Then we all went back to Hannah's house and played board games like Harry Potter Clue (Lucius Malfoy took Harry hostage with the Sleeping Draught in the Potions Room.) Hannah taught me how to make a PhotoShop, and I made one with a bear eating me and Kevin (from UP) eating her. We played catch in the yard for a while, and said hello to the chickens, then I had to go home. Boo! But it wasn't too bad because I got home and we had our own little family Christmas before we go to Idaho for the real thing! I got a pair of gauntlets (gloves with the fingers cut off), a bag from my high school, and Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince on DVD. And also on Saturday I got a pair of Uggs.

We drive to Idaho tomorrow!! I'm so excited!!!! We didn't go last year, so it will be AMAZING!!! Oh and afterwards, University of Idaho made it to the Humanitarian Bowl, so we're all going to Boise! We'll be all decked out in Vandal gear!!! I'm SO SO SO SO SO SO SO excited!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
