Snowboarding

A big group of my friends and I went snowboarding yesterday at Snow Basin. I haven't been snowboarding for about 6 years and I sucked when I went then. This time I did pretty well on the bunny hill for not having much experience so I went with the big boys on the harder stuff. That was a big mistake. First off, when I got to the ski lift I was with my husband and friend Jeff. I was so concentrated on getting ON the lift that I didn't pay much attention to my board and it got turned sideways and caught on the snow and off I went! Yeah, you heard me right. I fell OFF THE SKI LIFT! I would say it was embarrassing but I think I was in too much pain to think about how big of a fool I looked. I landed face first so I jarred my head, giving me a huge headache the rest of the day and with the board grabbing the snow it twisted my ankle. Sigh. Yeah I am a dork. They had to stop the lift so I could get back on. Brandon and Jeff were laughing at me but my head hurt too much to really care. Once we got to the top I got off the lift with ease {thank heavens don't know if I could have taken another embarrassing moment like that!}. We waited for everyone to get up there and started down. I was pretty confident when we started even though I can do toe side which annoys the heck out of me. We kept going, me at a really slow pace, and I was fine until I fell and felt my knee pop out of joint. I couldn't move so I yelled for Brandon to get my bindings off. Tears were just streaming down my face cause my knee hurt like a MOTHER! lol I felt like an idiot cause there were a few of our guy Friends watching me so I sucked it up and kept going. The rest of the way down was awful. I was so frustrated and I kept hurting my knee every time I fell. I was so thrilled by the time we got down! I was done too. I found my friend Heatherly and we got some hot chocolate and went home! We had both had enough beating up! I went to my moms to get the baby and iced my knee until Brandon go there.
When I woke up this morning.... Whew! all I can say is PAIN........ EVERYWHERE!! Not kidding. From my head to my toes! My knee isn't swollen or anything so that is good. No doctor visit for me. It still hurts like a mother though as does the rest of my body. Kinda makes me feel old!! I would like to say I will never do that again but I really want to. I want to be good. I had fun until we went up that huge hill. I need to learn the basics before I go up there again. I think next time I will take a lesson though. Learning by myself didn't seem to work so well! Today, my best friend is Ibuprofen!!!!!

This is me when I fell off the lift. Thankfully my actual fall didn't get recorded! :0)
