Someone asked me last night how my day had been. As I went though my mind thinking about the day...
~ Started the day at the gym - including getting to catch up with V. It's nice to see a familiar face at 6am :)
~ Received a surprise bouquet of tulips :)
~ Sound Advice called me with a singing Valentine.
~ Five Guys burgers and fries with M for lunch, including a C pop in.
~ Silly afternoon email thread with friends :)
~ My roommates and I ate our spaghetti dinner on my bed so we could watch the Extreme Home Makeover Tape.
~ Spent an hour on the phone catching up with a good friend.

Friday night started off with a Heat basketball game and the 2-hour Arrested Development season finale. My boys played awesome and won their game. Biggest improvement would be in rebounding and getting open. Still more work to - but I'm impressed with how well they listen and excecute what we teach them!! We seemed to take over the Rivermill with a group celebrating Monica, Nate and Tom's birthday! The night ended with a peaceful walk home through the cemetary and catching the first couple snowflakes :)
How awesome was Saturday :)
It was great to have M's best friend from college in town :) She set us straight on the Mizzou fight song, filled us in on M's dating adventures, and was just plain fun!

Young Professionals in the Burg
Posted in on by
All the articles say the same thing - I'm starting to get sick of hearing it - What's the solution?? Are NRV young single professionals destined to never really fit in? Will I have to continue saying goodbye to multiple friends a year as they move on?
People have tried to get things started - there's just not enough interest - yet half the CRC is under 34! (I'd like to see the stats of how many are married/single!) What do people do in this town? Especially in the winter when outdoor adventures are limited, and a smokey bar just isn't very appealing.

Snowboarding Videos
Posted in on by
** make sure you have a decent connection to watch videos **
About 8 weeks ago Manu, Joel and I headed up to Snowshoe for the day. It was great - weather was mild but not warm enough to melt the snow - slopes were covered with great snow - lift lines weren't too long - great company - etc etc. Perfect first day out. Since Manu totally rocks and he's crazy - he followed me down the slopes while video taping. It's cool to be able to see the retarded things you do while boarding. Like using my back hand as a rutter. Not my best show - it was early in the day so I was still warming up - next time we'll have footage of the half pipe.
Do you remember when you were a kid - how tempting it was to flip over things - it's not so easy when you're a big kid - be ready to laugh ;)
Attempt 1 - Not Quite
Attempt 2 - Success
Sorry that's as exciting as my snowboarding tricks get so far. At least the tricks taht don't leave my with whiplash!
I'm looking forward to our big trip at the end of Feb - I think we have 23 folks going right now?? Here's our house.
