I hate MONDAYS!!

This morning I was walking to my calculus class, but I was just finishing up my goodmorning text to Jana, Which caused me to loose track of where I was going. there is this median in the parking lot that, when there's snow, is best to avoid. I sunk right into 3 feet of snow, but at first I didn't realize it because I was still finishing up the text. It wasn't until I stepped into a whole bunch of slush that got my feet soaked through, that I realized I wasnt in a good fix! I had to walk through a bunch of snow to get to the other side but man were my feet FREEZING!! Typical monday..

Marshmallow fight!

On Wednesday, I had youth group. It was all a normal day at lifeguards, when someone found a bag of old marshmallows and started pelting people with them! I was texting Jana right outside the door, when the battle turned into a full fledged war. I went back in and realized there were two sides and before I could pick a side our youth pastor, Brad, said "Connor! You're on our team. We need more fire power!" The great marshmallow war probably lasted a half hour, while I really helped out team, there were moments where I was texting Jana back, while being whacked in the face with the occasional flying marshmallow! I actually was smacked pretty hard in the eye with one while I was texting her. I had a fantastic time in the war! Reminds me of the candy war we have on Halloween Wednesday, only less painful!

Temporary Tattoos Rule!

Back in November while I was making my Christmas list, as a joke I put a tattoo as the #1 thing I wanted. As a joke my aunt Becky gave me a bunch of temporary tattoos of hot rods. Well a few days ago I realized that I had only used 1 of them and that I still had 13 left. So I used all of them on my arm! I then went to gym wearing a muscle shirt to show off my cool tattoos. The people's reactions were priceless! I did get laughed at a little bit, but I saw them walk away in shame when I a guy with fake tattoos, lifted more than they did and they have legit tattoos! I had a lot of fun sporting off these hot rods.

It's official, I'm a man!

I go to the gym at least every other day, now that it's winter it's normal to have the temperature in the teens outside. But that doesn't stop me from walking in a muscle shirt and shorts (it's actually a pretty fair distance) from my car to the gym. Part of the reason is that I'm just too lazy to wear a jacket and put it in a locker, but I just say it's a man test! And another thing I might add, I don't run from the car to the gym, I walk since it's a test! Yesterday was particularly cold, with the temperature being sub zero. I passed this old couple walking while I'm freezing by buns off, the old lady points at me and says to her husband "See gilbert, that's a man there!" I knew eventually my stupidity would pay off in the end!

Super bowl Sunday

This super bowl Sunday has been more fun that the last few years. Right after church the heisey's were running to their car, Joy and Catie were fighting over shotgun. I took the liberty of hitting them with snowballs to break them up. Joy ran away while Catie went in the car, Joy was soaked. Mission accomplished! Later that evening we had the youth group super bowl party, Which started with another snowball fight!

We were having a great time, then at halftime, we started having "skirmishes" during the commercials, where we would get 15 guys circled up, then throw a football in the middle and the person who had the ball when the game started again, won! I decided to sit out of the first few rounds since I have a hug size advantage at 220 lbs while everyone else weighs around 150-175. After a while though the guys wanted to go against me so that the winner could be the champion of lifeguards! I decided to wait for them to all pile up on the ball, but as soon as I saw it, I attacked. I dove after it and started tearing it away from everybody. It popped up into the air and landed in Chad's hands, when he saw me clawing after him he screamed and threw it as far as he could! I got it.

After I won another time pretty easily, we had another round. This time I was planning on diving on it then just holding on the whole time....it didn't quite work that way. Vargas got on top of the ball before I could, and I was dog piled. I had an arm on Vargas, but my other arm was caught underneath me. With great difficulty I managed to pull Vargas to my other side so my arm was free, and then I was up! I ripped the ball away from Vargas and held on it for the win.

I decided to stop playing after that because I was 3 for 3 and I didn't want to have all of the fun. It was a crazy evening, I loved it!

Bring on the Weekend!

While this week has gone by fast, and overall has been really good, I'm glad it's over. I had a quiz and 2 exams this week for the same class. We only had 4 days of class today too, so we had 1 day where we weren't taking some sort of test. The stress was kinda getting to me near the end of the week. Thankfully the weekend is almost here so I can relax for a bit. And I'll probably be able to talk to Jana on Saturday and Sunday night! :)

Tomorrow is the Anniversary!

Two years ago, my first shave, I had a lot of pressure on me, like a camera a foot away from my face!

Two years tomorrow, marks a great anniversary of man hood....the first time I shaved! Back then I only had to shave once every two weeks. Now I have to shave every 2 or 3 days, because my facial hair is blond, I can get away with it for a bit longer. It meant a lot for me to shave for the first time, since my sisters and dad were constantly calling me hairless little freak, or baby butt face! I soon realized how much I liked baby butt face when Katrina started to call me hairy butt face. As excited as I was to start shaving, there are times when I wish I didn't have to. One example is when my face was MAIMED! I cut myself 4 times, and nearly cut off half of the chin. I actually still have a small mark from where I cut my chin.

Blizzard? ehh not so much, but it was a good day!

For the past week we were hearing that we were supposed to get a monster snow storm, with as much as a foot and a half of snow! Yesterday, we got 9 inches, not quite what we were expecting but I'm not going to complain. We had a snow day, and I got a lot of business. I made enough money where I have already paid off half of the plane ticket to Nebraska! The guys in the youth group met up at subway, and talked about manly stuff, like failed attempts of catching a raccoon. I then had an intense workout and studied for a calc exam (which I did great in this morning!). I had an hilarious conversation with Jana through text, that nearly had me in tears, and then I was able to talk to Jana on the phone for a while! Jana has been sick lately, so I wasn't really expecting to talk last night, but it was a nice surprise!
