How did I not blog at all last week?
Man
This weekend was super excellent. More fun then I ever expected. Probably because I went into the situation scared.
I went to the Outerbanks with Cortlins family as well as my boss' family as well as another family haha. Everyone else went up during the day, but since I had to work I went with Cortlin and Eckart at six. It was a slow drive up. It rained during the day so the roads were kind of icy, plus it started snowing.
You have to go up this hill into the forest and such to get to this cabin. once we got half way up the hill there was a fork in the road. One went up higher into the hills, and the other leaded deeper in. Cortlin and I couldn't remember which way it was, but recalled having to go past the first cabin, since there was two. So we figured that the road that went deeper was the right one.
HA
No.
We found out pretty quick that the road we took was in fact a snowmobile road aka nothing but three feet of snow that apppeared harmless. So we got uber stuck. Tried digging out the truck from under the truck, but that was no dice.
And to top it all off, the cell service up there is horrible. So I wandered around trying to find a signal to call the others who were already at the cabin. Finally got a hold of the guys and asked for help.
My directions were horrible. So they ended up looking for us in the opposite direction haha. Meanwhile we managed to get ourselves even more stuck, even furthur down the road of torture.
Thank god it was relatively warm out!
Brandon must have started to wonder where everyone was, because he came and found us on his snomobile. Eventually the other guys came too, and they told me to take Brandon's sled back to the cabin to drink with the ladies haha.
I was kinda nervous cause I had never really driven a sled before, but it was easy I guess haha.
So I made it back to the cabin, and soon after the guys got back as well, truck rescued from the snow.
I feel asleep not two hours later.
The next day started with a really big breakfast haha.
Then we geared up for the day. I was nervous. The thought of riding behind someone and not having the ability to control the machine scares me. So I just had to trust Coco :-p
It was fun though. After a while I got on Danielle's sled so that Cortlin could go and be fast and furious and fancy on the sled haha. A few of us ended up just finding a nice place to stop and bring out the beer and rootbeer schnapps >_<
Danielle got me to drive after that. I loved it. Driving a snowmobile changes the experience completely. I loved loved loved it.
Stopped further up cause Cortlin wanted me back with him. So I drove his. Of course someone decided it would be a grand idea to go through the trees and bushes, so everyone was constantly getting hit with branches and trying to avoid fallen logs haha.
One thing that did scare me was when we had to drive on the river to get back to the cabin. There were cracks everywhere, and water was seeping out. So we went fast to get the hell outta there.
I had almost made it back to the cabin without incident! Just as we were crossing the road, I didn't straighten out the machine in time and got caught on the edge of the ditch, flipping the machine lol. The snow was deep though so all it did was throw me and cortlin off and burying the machine. So we had to dig it out :)
But yeah, it was super fun. I would do it again in a heartbeat.
As soon as we got back Cortlin took a nap and I watched say yes to the dress lol. Everyone else went out for round two, but I was an idiot and only packed one pair of pants and mine were soaking wet, so I was out :(
That night we drank and ate and played catch phrase and ate and drank and ate.
And watched UFC haha
Then i fell asleep as per usual.
And that was it :)
It was most excellent.
How was your weekend?
