Weekend Shenanigans

This weekend was quite a blast! There was not much that went on but those are usually the best weekends! Friday night three of my roommates and I went to this thing called Pond Skimming. What they do is they push all of the snow into a ginormous hill...I mean huge! So then at the bottom of the hill they put in this huge pond with water. At the top of this hill they get skiers and snowboarders go down this hill and they try to skim across and make it across. It was way cool to watch, but super cold! The wind was blowing and the people skimming across splash water all over and you get soaked! At one point the people in front of me ducked right as a wave of water was coming over the fence soaking me. My hair literally had ice chunks in it...at that point I was done and went to the car. While it was way cool to watch and really funny it is not something I will probably ever do again unless the weather is a little nicer. Saturday this huge blizzard hit, which probably explains the freezing weather the night before! It snowing all night and almost all day...it was kinda nice because it was an excuse to just stay inside all day in our pajamas and watch movies. Saturday night was pretty awesome! We had stake conference. It was wonderful! Something I really enjoyed was something my stake president said. He told us 4 ways to be happy: 1. treat others the way you want to be treated, love as the Savior would love. 2. Give more than you receive. Service is the best way to show others your love for them. 3. Have a good attitude. Attitude is a choice, we literally have a time between whatever happened and our reaction to it. There is a few seconds to make a choice. 4. Stay physically fit. When we are fit we are happier...I think Elle Woods puts it best, "Endorphin's make you happy and happy people just don't kill their husbands." haha well it was a great weekend! School starts back tomorrow, but I can't wait for Summer. It is just around the corner and I can't wait!
