temple square

on saturday, my freshman academy decided to take a trip to temple square! fun, right? the only problem was that it was totally snowing...and a lot too. me and helen had to trudge through the snow all the way to the bean museum where we were meeting. by the time we got there, i was a mess. i was sweating because of all the layers and my toes were about to fall off because of frost-bite. and we almost died by getting run over by a snowplow on the sidewalk too. we waited at the museum while the drivers decided if we actually wanted to go or not. finally we started to pile into the vans.
we were ready for salt lake! we get in the van and take off. it's a good thing i brought a newspaper so i could work on sudoku and crossword puzzles while we drove because it took us fifty minutes to get to the walmart on university pkwy. it was snowing so hard and there was so mush traffic. once we reached the walmart parking lot, we brushed the snow off the car and turned around. looks like we weren't going to make it to temple square after all :(
we got about 100 feet and the van we were following pulled over to help a truck (very similar to chad's old blue R.I.P) because it was stuck. some people got out to help push (i stayed inside, it was snowing!) the truck pulled away and the other van pulled away. once everyone got back in the van, we started for home, the only problem, we weren't moving. immediately, we all got out and were ready to push. this day had been long enough already. now may be a good time to mention that our van was full of girls. there were ten girls and only two boys. hurray. so we start pushing, and pushing, and pushing. the wheels are spinning mud all over my legs (not helping with staying warm).
i'm such a good pusher! of course we were taking pictures! it was for the sake of the blog! and then it starts to get cold...


anyway, we are running the van up the hill and it takes off! without most of us! we are running (and i mean running) after it. we run about a mile uphill until the van finally decides to stop and let us in. i was so tired. couldn't even function. took me about a day to recover. it's pretty funny now though! me and helen took a bunch of after pictures but they are all too embarrassing to post on the internet.
