i have a sore throat and a sore body... last night i went snowboarding. it was alright. i wanted to just go down the hill super fast and try a bunch of things but i was scared and my boots were way too small so i was in a ton of pain most of the time. Chris helped a lot though, he took his board off and walked beside me down the hill. how sweet. he's awesome. i wanna go back and practice - skiing too. i'm sure i'll be there plenty trying to get it down. jared and jen went with us and it was hilarious...jennifer and i started off having a stupid day so trying to snowboard was pretty much pointless. we're clumsy. chris is on his way down here now, we're going to the mall then to church later on. he's leaving friday :( i'm going to miss him tons. we better be able to hang out on new years. if not then i'm going to be ringing in the new year a sad girl. the Christmas play went so well. it was wonderful. Leah's name was Reba in the play, so besides her calling ME Reba and cracking up over it, it was perfect. there were a few mistakes here and there but nothing noticeable to anyone in the audience. everyone loved it which made all of us soso happy since we only had like 5 practices and messed up tons the day of the play when we ran over it. just for the record i want to say that although i'm 21 and have had two serious relationships in my life (one for 3 years, the other almost as long...) i don't understand boys or their motives or their reasons, actions, ways, etc. they confuse me to death and it's like everything is reversed or switched from my way of thinking. i just don't know..? that's all. -holly
