March 16th Tuesday was one of the best day of my life! It might sound like an exaggeration but i have got to say...Snowboarding rules.
I was kind of regretting it the day before because i don't really know what i am getting myself into but i already said i would go and part of me tell me that i should try. So Grace slept over on Monday and we slept at five which is the record for staying up longest out of all three sleepovers :) and we chatted with Nick on msn but we caved in first. Woke up at ten the next day and just got ready, cleaned up the house alittle, had noodles for lunch and argued about who is wearing which snowpant (long story) and then headed to Nick's house.
While walking to Nick's house, i felt kind of like am i really going snowboarding, is this really happening? I found Nick's house by memory because i am so smart ;) and first one to greet us is Spencer a.k.a. cutest dog ever alongside with cookie. We went in and later David came, laughed at him for wanting to watch the History channel when clearly Foodnetwork is soooo much better lol. Nick's dad and brother came with us and the two hour drive begin. His dad had alot of caffine O_O but i guess it was really tiring since i kind of fell asleep before Grace's ''oh my gosh'' woke me up.
Got to Blue Mountain and rented snowboards, bought lift tickets, felt really scared and excited. Nick have his own snowboard because he is so cool, lol. David and I rented snowboards and Grace rented skis. First things first, go on the lift, Grace didn't get in on time so she was alone at the back. Nick tried to teach me how to get off but umm i failed so i was climbing to get out of the way...pretty embarassing. After, Nick was like put on your snowboard and i'm like ...wait i'm going down that thing with that space on the side filled with woods waiting for me to fall on. Great. Fastforward to the embarssing part where David and Grace were wayyy down there, i am stuck because i have no idea how to snowboard since Nick is a horrible teacher who only encourages me by guilting me. Eventually he gave up and told me to walk down...i failed at that too (it was steep, trust me) and he just went off super fast. FINALLY got down and Grace suggested the bunny slope which is the best thing invented, it's basically a gentle short slope for beginners that Nick decide was too easy for me or something.
Loved the bunny slope, a guy from a ski and snowboarding school couldn't watch me suffer anymore so he helped me by guiding me down the slope and explaining to me how should i position myself and stuff. He was so nice. After, Nick and David met up with us at the bunny slope and i couldn't wait to show Nick that i am goood at this whole boarding thing but he kept going off on his own D: but eventaully i got to show him on Happy Valley the uhh way longer version of bunny slope and a little more steep too. I got off the ski lift alittle better this time? but Nick still had to drag me alittle. So we were going down and this totally weird thing happened, everytime David fall, i fall O_O it was really funny, Grace just kept going because it's hard to stop on skis. Nick was just waiting for me and David up ahead since he is way to fast. David kind of helped and encouraged, and Nick did too...by throwing snowballs. I got better and better so i was pretty proud of myself.
Nick and David went on the moguls (i think that is how it's spelt) and me and Grace just stick with the nice bunny slope :) They cut across to meet up with us but David went far off and came back after the three of us went down the bunny slope over and over. Walked back to the building where we rented our stuff. Felt super relieved after taking off the gears and jackets etc. Went to Harveys for dinner, chatted about random things. Grace and David fell asleep as soon as we got on the car again, the excitement i had was still there so i was actually kind of hyper. Nick was umm use to staying up for a specific reason.. so we chatted using the note that was on his ipod and my iphone but i think we woke David up with the light from the screen lol.
David got home first, went back to Nick's house to drop his brother off and we took a walk with Spencer :) I got home and realized oh my gosh it's already 1 o'clock. Took a shower, msned alittle but fell asleep because i was really tired.
Point is...totally don't regret going and had a super super good time, discovered some interesting thngs, feelings for umm _______ changed big time and without a doubt, definitely, 100% gonna go snowboarding again
