On Thursday my family went up to the cabin with my cousins that are in town for the holidays. Even though it wasn’t a long stay, I still had a blast! Who knew you could pack so much fun and memories into 24 hours eh? We filled our time with food (I know a shocker right? haha), reading, snowmobiling, staying up late playing the guitar and singing, and staying up even later playing settlers with the cousins. But the best part of the whole cabin experience was the epic sled hill. Haha I never use the word epic- I actually hate it- but there is honestly no other way to explain this hill. It was the coolest thing I have ever seen. The people that we renting the cabin from had this huge hill in their back yard, and they had made different courses for tubes to go down with jumps and curves and things. There was one, the extremely fast and curvy one, that seemed to be everyone’s favorite. There was even a floodlight so we could do it at nighttime. Haha except once when we tried making a train at night and it was me, josh, then taylor and the rest of the gang behind him, and josh I guess forgot to hold on to taylor’s feet and so me and josh went down without everyone. We somehow ended up flipped around, so josh was in the front and we were facing the top of the hill and I started laughing SO HARD that by the time we got to the bottom of the hill I honestly rolled off my tube and threw up my dinner. Ha! I have never laughed so hard that I threw up before. And even though I felt sick for the rest of the night, it was definitely worth the memory. :)
This picture shows the top half of the hill. This is our first attempt at a seven-man train. :)
For most families it is the grandma's diamond ring that is coveted. but not in this family. the most coveted possession in the Cartwright family is this settlers card that i am holding in my hand. there are two things you must know about my family- we are extremely competitive and we are obsessed with settlers of catan. so tay babe, being the stud he is, made this championship card. the winner of the settlers game board gets their name on the back of the card and bragging rights for 24 hours until the floor is once again opened up to challengers. after a very late night thursday, i am proud to say that i am the current holder of this card. even though taylor and josh both would not speak to me after my victory, i went to bed a happy girl with the championship card in my pocket. :)
I was so happy that i got to go to the cabin with my family this week. i haven't been feeling like myself lately, but when i was up there with the people i love most and make me the happiest, i felt like the old megan. it was good for my soul. :) haha
oh p.s. HAPPY NEW YEAR!! i don't think i have every been more excited to start a new chapter of my life. i have a feeling this will be a great year full of challenging but amazing experiences. my two main goals for the year are to run a marathon and to get accepted into nursing school.
