March Madness
This is a momentous day--- the first time I have ever filled out a March Madness Bracket. Too bad I'm loyal to BYU, and am already losing :(

Question of the Day
For those of you who were around me at this time last year, I began what I like to call, Question of the Day. It's really as simple as it sounds. I wanted to get to know my friends by asking them random questions each day---to see how they would respond. So, for those of you who don't gchat me daily, feel free to respond to the question below with a comment :)
What would you describe as your perfect day?

Feed My Starving Children
Last weekend Ryan and I had the opportunity to put together dry-packed meals for starving children in developing countries. This non-profit, based in Minneapolis, collaborates with local CPGs, like Cargill and General Mills, to create these meals and send them out to over 60 countries throughout the world.
Volunteers are invited to come to one of the FMSC packing locations, and put together the meals. The hairnets, pictures in front of the map (coming soon to this post), and working side by side with friends and strangers, eating a sample of the meal after; are all part of the FMSC experience. We had a great time, and heard some great Minnesota accents :)

PIZZA! FRENCH FRIES! PIZZA!!
Although these words usually connote lunch ... for me on Saturday they were my only saving grace to get me safely down the mountain.
My roommates and I decided to teach ourselves how to ski. Or at least that's what they told me. In reality, they had all at least grown up going skiing at least a few times---so I was the true novice at the sport. You can notice in the pictures how comfortable I feel with two 5' pieces of wood strapped to my feet on the side of a mountain.
In all reality, we had a FANTASTIC time. The weather was gorgeous. The company was incredible and luckily I was able to offer some entertainment as I screamed down the mountain and occasionally found myself stuck in a bush, or face planted in the snow (see pictures below). I look forward to future skiing adventures where I can actually show off the skills I gained after just one day at Park City Ski Resort.
Too excited -- we can barely contain ourselves!
Ok, Here Come The Individual Shots:
Jess
Holls
Janelle
ME
Brookie
First time on Skiis
Ready to Rock and Roll
Look at that Form!
And there's me ... face-planted on the side of the mountain. The girls LOVED this. (It made the picture of the day)
These are the "Beginners" I was with:
We Love Skiing!
On the Lift
Pizza was only appropriate for lunch
Such a great day.
