Hey everyone!! I hope you all had a fab weekend! I know I sure did. If you have been keeping up, then you would know that I was in Colorado this past weekend. And man it was AWESOME!!!! I have now boarded, or you could say tumbled, down a real mountain. My darling Jan Ban found such an amazing house for the group. It was a perfect mix of cabin and modern style. And the house literally had everything! We even found a candle snuffer and leopard print bath robes. There was a rice cooker and rice, poker chips and cards, a potato masher, and an iPod docking station. Honestly anything you could think of would magically manifest in a random room. The house fit all 13 of us and there was room for more. So great job planning Jan. It was indeed an epic weekend.
Here are some highlights....
1. Forgetting to pack undies and having two guys go out and buy me some. The receipt had three items: 3 pack Hanes panties, ping pong balls, and ranch dressing. Pretty sure the cashier thought these guys were creepers.
2. Kicking some major butt in flippy cup and charades and perfecting the Shai/Dan handshake. Also watching Ricky do the same thing over and over to try to act out Optimus Prime.
3. Watching one of my best friends take a double beer bong in 8 seconds.
4. Lying down on Keystone mountain during night boarding all alone and left for dead.
5. Going all in at poker and winning the hand only to lose it all to Bert two hands later. Twice.
6. Jan sporting an awesome bandaid on her chin after she took a nasty spill on the mountain.
7. Singing old school R&B jams on the way to the house. We harmonized "Hard to Say I'm Sorry" so beautifully.
8. Stewing ourselves in the hot tub.
9. Watching Tina act out "man-gina" in charades.
10. Eating cake that was made with Jameson.
11. "My mind is telling me nooooo... But my body... My body is telling me yeaaaaaaaaa.... I don't see nothing wroooonngggg... With a little bump and grind."
12. Getting to take an amazing photoshoot with Tum Tum in the back of the house surrounded by snow and beautiful trees.
13. Having fresh and healthy home cooked meals prepared by the Dao chefs and Winston.
14. Being the only one to get shwasted on wine... as a matter of fact, I played flippy cup with wine while everyone else had beer.
15. Getting to celebrate the birthday of one of the most amazing people in the world. I wub you Jan Ban!!
This was our backyard for the weekend. So breathtaking. What a gorgeous day it was on Saturday. So sad to have left. =(
Me and my favorite photog celebrating our awesome flippy cup wins. I can't wait to show you guys the photos he took for me. <3
Just one of our home made meals. Nyummers!
Day time boarding at Breck! Oof this was so fun! I put on "Edge of Glory" on the iPhone, psyched myself up, singing out loud as I whooshed down the mountain and try to toe stop... only to backflip three times and end up flat on my back feeling pathetic. Sorry Gaga. I have failed you.
Here I am left for dead. Keystone definitely whooped me. My legs gave up and I had no idea how much further I had to go. At this point, I just stared up at the night sky and hoped for the best. Hahaha...
HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY MY DARLING!!!! You amaze me with all that you do. Thank you for always reminding me what true friends are supposed to be like and always being down to do anything. You teach me how to love life and have fun and not worry so much about the little things. I will forever remember the simple thing you said to me in the bathroom while we were getting ready to board. I asked you, "Should I put on eyeliner or is that really stupid and pointless?" You said, "Do whatever you have to do to feel good about yourself." You little smarty pants you. I love you times a million gajillion. You are straight gangster and will always be my partner in crime. =D
Thanks for reading loves! Who wants to go on another boarding trip!?!?!?!?! I DO I DO!
