Home(ish) Jerome

Hio Alls! It's been a little while since I've blogged huh? Well, I'm back to school and back to business! This semester is going to be great. My classes (riding, stable management, psychology, life science, band and riding team) are loads of fun and will hopefully be interesting :p It feels so good to be playing my flute again. I really missed it. I also missed my horses SO MUCH! I don't care if they're not mine, they might as well be. I probably am the only person at the stables who can name every horse besides my teachers! Hahaha!

So, I'm not going to go into detail about what happened over New Years because Zach and Shellie did such a wonderful job. I would like to direct you to their page when you're done here to get a cap off of our holiday. I did however have a VERY eventful few weeks during the break! From dates, to catching up with old friends, to having fun in the snow I had a blast!!!

I guess a few highlights wouldn't hurt. One would definitely have to be my date with John Clark. I met him through Grace, who goes to Westminster with him and they're in the same dorm building. And guess what I found out AFTER I had already stated my interest in him...HE'S IN THE BLASTED NAVY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What on Earth is it with me and guys who are either in the military or leaving on missions?! Anyway, that's kinda besides the point :P So he and I went to color me mine where we painted ceramic coin...things. They had a sun on one side and a moon on the other. I did mine in opposite colors, like a yellow moon with red highlights, orange stars and a powder blue sky. The sun was 3 shades of blue with a black sky and it had grey clouds on the bottom. It turned out really pretty and I can't wait to see it after it's been fired!

So that was my date. Another wicked fun activity I did was go up to Brian Hoole's cabin a couple times! Despite the bitter...biting cold it was lots and lots of fun and we got to go snowmobiling, sledding, movie watching, pizza eating, hot cocoa drinking, tickling, wrestling, gaming, and my personal favorite, especially when it's cold, cuddling! Hahaha. Ya, so Mike Raleigh (yes, my ex from last winter) was up there and due to forced close proximity, we started to talk and hang and be friends again!!! It's totally awesome and makes me really really happy to be on good terms with him again. He's such an awesome guy and a great friend!

OH! I also went snowboarding!!! Which was WICKED fun and I think I'm actually pretty good :) By the end of the day I had done all the green runs and a couple blues at Brighton. I went with Dan Burton and his brother (slightly awkward) but it was still loads of fun and I can't wait to go again! I also didn't spend too much time on my butt (not going to lie...I did fall a lot) but a lot of it was me getting scared of my speed so I'd make myself fall or psyche myself out. But ya, according to Dan AND his skier brother, I was doing awesome for my first time ^_^ It makes me happy!

So...guns are fun! Hahaha Ya, I went shooting with Tony and Spencer! We took Tony's .270 bolt-action rifle and his 12 gauge rifle! Mwa hahaha I actually liked the rife a lot more ;) It felt so cool to blow up cocoa nuts, ornaments, water bottles and paper ammo boxes tee hee hee...anyway. I'm about done. It feels good to be here at the dorms which have practically become my home now. I missed everyone and it's fun to see all my friends again after such a long break! But thats all for now folks :)
