...just another near death experience

just imagine me bookin' it down all those rocks at top speed. 

okay so back ground info: friday was not an ordinary day.  the famous, loved by all, the sweet sun shining ray of energy, isabelle white arrived in provo, utah. if this place wasn't already illuminated with smiling faces...lets just say she made campus that much brighter.  i was so excited for her to come here! chat with her for 5 minutes and you'll walk away feeling that little tingly feeling, the kind when someone just made your day.

okay so the death part: isabelle, willie and i went for a little hike up a water fall in provo canyon.  this waterfall is just beautiful.  the weather here is definitely moving from fall to winter a little too fast. the waterfall is still cookin', however, all the rocks and such and such are all iced over.  we hiked up as far as you can go (until it is a compete vertical wall of rock/water) and willie and i decide to try to cross the falls.  i take one step...one single two feet leg extension...and woooosh!!! isabelle is sitting a few feet away from me (intelligently, not wanting to take part in such a brainless act) and as i begin to plummet down the falls we lock eyes and i flashed her one of the "goodbye, see ya in heaven type of faces." she screams "aaaaavvveerrrryyyyyyyyyyy!!!!!!!!!!!!" and there i go.  luckily i fell and moved into a perfect position-on my belly, feet first, hands able to protect this chubby face. i slid down approximately 30 yards-but the weird thing is, i only remember falling and stoping. which is probably a bad thing.  but i do remember not freaking out, knowing i was going to come to a halt eventually.  my limp, rag doll of a body went down a few huge 2-4 foot drop offs and the plateau of ice only made me pick up speed. (picture above is what i fell down, all the way from the top and all the way to the bottom...finish line not pictured).  isabelle later compared me to that iphone game where you drag the girl around and her limp body forms to what ever she is being thrown against-yes, i was that girl. i finally came to a stop.  i took a quick body assessment to see if i was brutally hurt...i wasn't! phew thank the heavens! nothing felt too painful, except my hands! they felt as if i broke both of them.  willie and isabelle ran down to my rescue and my favorite jeans took a hard beating but thats about it! willie claims it was the closest he has ever seen anyone from death.  i'm not the strongest writer, nor am i that great of a story teller so if this makes no sense and doesn't sound freaky at all, im sorry, i guess you'd have to be there.  my legs are covered in massive bruises and scrapes and i think i broke a finger! i am so lucky! i quickly sent a prayer up the moment i stopped thanking Him for protecting me...this could of been bad, very bad, and i came out completely okay! i had a fab day with my two dear friends and this was only a minor occurrence....and dont think im not gonna show of these sweet bruises at the gym tomorrow in my running shorts!
