So tonight I was hanging around doing nothing when I heard a knock at the door. It was a new [cute] guy in our ward, Trevor. He invited us (it was just me and Arianna at home) to play football in the snow. How could I say no? Plus, it's not like I had anything exciting going on. So we had a small group of seven (3 boys, 4 girls). We played in this field at the complex next to us. One girl, Jenny, just wanted to be a spectator. After a few plays, we saw someone walking and invited him to play. Trevor actually knew him. Since the teams were uneven, we convinced Jenny to play. She became the QB of the other team and she rocked it! I think they scored 10 touchdowns. And she said she couldn't play. We scored like 4. It was a little sad on our part, but we did pretty good. Everyone had a chance to be MVP for at least one play. I was the first! I caught the ball (nobody thought I was going to) and then I did a face plant in the snow. But I caught the ball! I guess I shouldn't call it snow because it's pretty much ice. It kind of hurt when I fell. It was like getting a thousand shots at once, but I didn't care because I caught the ball! The guys were pretty impressed with my skillz. The only reason for the touchdowns we did get was because of Dan. He is wicked fast! They would kick off and he would catch it and then run all the way to the end zone. He was unstoppable.
After playing football for an hour, Jason (the guy that joined us) invited us over for hot chocolate and to play wackee six. It's a card game that's basically intense color coded speed with six decks. Since we had 8 people, we just played in teams, which was perfect because one colored deck didn't have all the cards anyway. It was a lot of fun. We're definitely doing it again, soon.
