Slacklinin' like a boss!

Last night, for FHE, we decided to do some slacklining. Little did I know that I was the only one that has ever really tried it before. And even then, I didn't get good enough to teach others how to be pro. I figured that at least one or two other guys in the group would have done it before. I was wrong. So, it was a learning experience for us all.

It took us a super long time just to figure out how to set the thing up. We got the rope stuck in the little gizmo that tightens it. It took a bit of elbow grease from all of us to get it undone. Ok, well maybe not everyone. There just wasn't anymore room for me to join in on the rope. Anyways, we finally got it figured out. Then the slacklinin' began!

Of course, the guys jumped up there first. We all needed a shoulder or two so that we didn't fall on our faces. The guys called it "bro support."  I believe Trenton jumped up first, then the other guys followed. This guy, Jesse, cracks me up! He's a stinkin' tall guy on the ground. Then we throw a slackline under his feet and he becomes a giant! And check that face! That's full concentration mode.

Anyways, The girls got their turn too. I hopped up there with the help of Gage and Achsah's shoulder. And Jesse was so kind as to sit on the line to make it a bit easier.
The hardest part about slacklining is getting up there. The problem is that you put one foot up there and it wobbles like no other! I'm pretty sure that one of the guys got a video of my foot doing it's wobbly thing. No one knows how to fix it...It's just something that you gotta get through.
Most of the girls kept at least one person by their side the whole time. The guys got pretty daring towards the end and jumped up there solo. Gage and Trenton got pretty good at it.
All in all, it was a awesome FHE night. Many more great nights are to come.

Sincerely,
Me

Hello, blog world

Hello, bloggers. This is my first experience with blogging so I hope I can really get into it. It seems like all of my friends have blogs so I figured why not?
Ill tell you a bit about myself. I was raised (but not born) in a fairly small town in southeastern Virginia. I never realized how much I love VA until I moved away for a bit. Currently, I am attending BYU-Idaho in ,obviously, Idaho. I love the school, so far. This is only my first semester so I've got a lot more explorin' to do. I love the school but I can't say that I love Idaho. Not yet, at least. It's a bit too cold and dry out here for my liking. I'm also missing the trees and green that VA has everywhere.
So, that's a bit of my current life. Now onto my younger days. I have three older brothers and I'm the youngest.  I can honestly say that we didn't get along that great when we were younger but, now that we're all grow'd up, I think we all get along quite nicely. I would have to say that I'm grateful for them teaching me how to not be a complete girl. Don't get me wrong, I still love shopping, friends, make-up, and things of that sort but, I like think that I have more of a guys personality (in a non-awkward way). I'm super laid back with a hint of craziness.
I am a true southern girl. I've been riding horses since I was twelve years old. Although I am away from my horse now, and I don't have the money to take lessons out here in Idaho (poor college student), I still claim to be a rider. I will be back in the saddle whenever I can and I will never lose the passion for everything related to horses.
I am a very social person. I will tell ya that I just about went insane when I first moved to Idaho. I didn't have any social life AT ALL until about 2 months after moving. It was horrible! Needless to say, I love my friends and I need them in my life.
Well, there ya have it. Me. Southern girl from VA. Three older brothers. Love of horses. Needs and loves a social life.

Hope you enjoy (:

Sincerely,
Me
