Saturday my friend Jared (he's more of an aquaintance really) had a birthday party which I went to. It turned out to be about 6 people: 3 guys, 3 girls. Aside from me, everyone there grew up together and apparently the guys used to duct tape people when they got bored...so they decided to try it again.
Jared, Mike and Randy are a bit like the 3 guys from the Princess Bride to be honest. Randy is the ring leader. He's always making up these schemes that really have no rhyme or reason to them, but it seems to be what keeps him going, so he does it. Mike is like the giant. He's Randy's secret weapon, and once he's got his hands on you, resistance is futile. Jared on the other hand, is just kind of there. He's not really into what they're doing, but he goes along with it anyway, mostly just because Randy's so convincing. They're entertaining to watch.
Anyway, they started with Laurel. Sharon and I made good efforts to combat them with lots of kicking and flailing, but in the end they won out and ended up getting us too. They were so kind to document the occasion with my camera. Look how proud Randy is.
The good news is while they were getting my ankles, I was trying to step out of the tape, and accidentally kneed Randy in the nose. Booya.
Then Sunday, one of my friends from the mission came in from Georgia, and after church she came with a bunch of us up to Sharon's cabin in Bear Lake. It was very laid back and a needed break for me. The weather wasn't very good so we didn't get to go out on the lake, but we rode the 4 wheelers and dirt bikes a lot, and even got caught in a hail storm while riding down the hillside. It hurt. Those pictures were also on someone else's camera. Soon to be posted. All in all, it was a great weekend. Sad to see it go, but life is for fun right? You have to make the fun all week long.
