A Review: January 2018

As the end of year was yesterday, I will reflect on each of my month's in 2018! In this post I will go through the most fun moments in January! Breckenridge My family and I spent New Years Eve in Breckenridge. It was the busiest we’ve ever seen in Breckenridge, but it was fun seeing everyone walk down the streets with their colorful ski gear. Our hotel room faced the snow. While, we don’t ski, we did go shopping when we got fudge from Foote's Rest in Frisco. I also brought my #GetFloaty Giant Unicorn (No, it’s not sponsored, I’m not that cool) and we floated on it while the fireworks shot off. We made sure to see the Ice Castles. They had lights in icicles formed by water and artists. There was a maze, tight spaces underneath the ice to climb, a slide, and a fountain. I even saw my friend up there at Noodles and Co. Finally, my brother and I watched all the skiers on Peak 8. There was a big jump that was built for a ski competition, so it was cool to see that. Breck was good!

The most wonderful Moose Drool, Tiger Butter, and Toffee fudge from Foote's Rest!

Every feature is made from ice that is formed by artists putting flowing hoses together, but I'm sure the triangles and base of the more elaborate features have wire or something.

 BoCo Every year for my high school we swam in an invitational swim meet. This year was the Boulder County Swim Meet. It was an eight hour swim meet, but while they’re long, they are fun! I swam two or three events that day, hours apart. With my free time I stretched my splits and while doing so, I saw my friend from synchronized swimming in middle school which was fun so, we talked a bit during the meet. I also was in a relay and the heat in front of us was from a neighboring Christian school, so I was like we should say “‘Good Luck’ since their our sisters in Christ!” So, obviously we talked to the girls and cheered them on more than I did for my relay, and introduced ourselves. It was so fun because I made new friends and my coaches were laughing so much! My friends and I also goofed off and took lots of pictures. I didn’t have the best times, but I had lots of fun with my friends!

 Snoball Our school’s Sadie Hawkins dance takes place in January or December depending on the year! This year was kind of fun because I went over to a friend's house and we played ping pong and all in her basement. We also had dinner. I wore a gold dress and my great grandmother’s mink coat. Many people liked the coat, so I was being pet all night. We went to the dance which is always fun and the t-shirts were uber cute! Then, my friends and I went to Sonic. It was a good night!

Touch Out My last high school swim meet was this past February and while I didn’t get the most fab times I had a great time! All of my team was there for only me and another girl. There was lots of dancing and singing! I was nervous for my last race, so the manager suggested that we look at each other scream for as long as we could, so we did! Then, I swam and got my first touch out! I was only a few inches ahead of another girl (hence the name touch out), but I won! That was incredible because that had never happened to me! It was a great last meet!

My "cool" rat tail I had braided before swimming.

 Washington, D.C. I had the time of my life when I had the opportunity to attend the March for Life! I will go into it in a later post as it was fabulous!

January was fabulous! I had so much fun and traveled a lot! God Bless!
