Well I am finally updating my blog!! Sorry everyone it has taken me so epically long to do so. It's definitely not a first for me to procrastinate so much. Ask any English teacher I ever had. Any way so my FIRSTS FOR FEBRUARY!!!
       Wow where do I start? I guess I do need to add something to my first for January. A first for January, something that I am SO proud of, is my first trip as a head instructor! Also my first trip with another female co-instructor. Which I must say was so cool! Which I have continued so far with about 5 more trips as a head instructor.
       Which leads right into my Feb. firsts. In Feb. I was head for my first boys group. Let me tell you it was so hard. (Looking back as I am reading and writing what I wrote then I have to chuckle a little thinking of the one particular trip I've had since then. Knocking this boy's group trip to a much deserved 2nd worst trip ever.) But I liked the challenge. Somewhere between having to hold back a kid so he didn't hurt another one. To following a student walking out of camp, to keeping a student in the shelter at night, so he didn't freeze to death. To having to try to get that same student out of the shelter for 7 days straight. To having to go back to trying to keep the kid in camp again. While almost getting punched. Obviously someone never learned you shouldn't hit a lady. And then that very same student making a 180 degree turn around. To start doing the program and crying when I left. To having another student throw boots, a pack frame, and an orange at me. I realized man I am having a lot of firsts this trip.
         But before all that I had a few really fun firsts. One of which was having a date on Valentines day. It was a lot of fun. I was given roses and candy. Then dinner and Nazcart. Which I had never been to and driven the go-karts. Then later in the month I went snow boarding for the first time ever! So fun!! I fell down a lot and was super sore after. But I loved it. I had a lot of fun. And really good teachers.
         So starting with March. The first thing I can think of is I got to do my first Trails End. Which is for work, basically it's a two day graduation thing for the kids out there. Another thing was I got to do the ropes course at work for the first time. i was scared half to death but it was a lot of fun.
         I also got my first letter from a student. That was pretty cool getting to hear from her and that she's doing well. She is a way cool girl! Busted a tandem hand drill coal at trails end!! She's a rock star!
         I haven't tried any new foods for a while which is a bummer. I need to get on that. IF ANYONE HAS ANY SUGGESTIONS I'D LOVE TO TRY THEM! In January I had some palio pudding that was really good. I need to put that recipe on here.
         I don't remember which month it was but I got to teach a lesson for church in Relief Society out of the manual. That was pretty cool I always really enjoy teaching RS.
         Any who that's all I've got for now. Tune in next time to hear how my TONGA trip went! I'm so excited to share!!

Starting the Year Off Right

My new years resolution this year is to have a year of first's. Every month I am going to do something that I have never done before. Some of them will be planned and some of them will be spontainiouse, like accidently spraining both my ancles, which is what happend this month. Yay! I didn't have to plan that!! My official first for this month is to start my blog and write about all my first's. To add to this I am also going to try new foods and put the recipes right here for all of you to try. I hope you enjoy my adventures and maybe even join me on a few!
