Epic Adventures
Maybe it's the lack of sleep, the cold, hardcore snowboarding, or the combination of all three that have landed me sick yet another time, but the Sudafed is finally kicking in and I can breathe again. So instead of doing a video blog for this one, I'm going to write :)
As the title says, "Epic Adventures," it really had been that.
The last couple of days have consisted of making 4 new friends, randomly, of course- in the bus station, loads of fresh powder, taking in two travelers, playing American games, hitting some of the sickest runs yet, trying to get my 360 back, an unintentional front flip that I actually landed, having to hitch to a train station because I got lost and ended up on the wrong side of the mountain, InteGre, only 7.5 hours of sleep in two nights, speaking so much french my brain hurt, a body that feels like I just got hit by a bus, and an exam that I didn't a. study for, or b. finish. I have to say it's been a pretty darn good few days!
Shredding through that untouched powder made me realize how much I love my life and how blessed I really am. I was gliding... soaring on this mountain. The view was spectacular. I was so high up, the clouds were floating beneath me. I couldn't do anything but breathe in the fresh air and take in life... right up until I hit a rock and fell, lol. Thankfully the snow felt like a cushion and I just laid there, laughing at myself.
At this moment, I couldn't imagine God giving me any more gifts... I think He's already given me enough. It's strange to think... there were times in my life that I felt like I was never going to make it out of sorrow, pain, or get through the bad times... but in the end, we can never feel happiness unless we've felt sorrow, we can never be healed unless we've been hurt, and we can never appreciate the good times unless we've experienced the bad.
My thoughts for today: Live your life the way you know is going to be the most rewarding, really do treat people the way you would want to be treated, and reflect on life a little more each day. You'll find you have more things to be thankful for than you thought.

Video Blogs :) End of England and Paris for New Years!
Sorry for all the "umm's!" I'm going to work on that :)
Things I forgot to mention:
1. Oceana- awesome dance club we went to on the 23rd of December! Partied until 6am. fun times :)
2. The snow they actually had in England instead of rain was great!
3. I got a 3rd hole in my ear pierced!
4. I dyed my hair and it turned out way too dark. Now I'm trying to find a way to get it back to normal.... going to try and buy dye stripper tomorrow.
5. I really missed not being home for the holidays. And although I had a great time in England, I missed my family.
6. Thanks again to Serajane and her "mum" for having me for Christmas :) Ya'll are awesome!!!
