Last night we headed to up to Evergreen to meet up with two other couples from our bible study group.  The group leaders have family in Evergreen, so we crashed at their house in preparation of a snowshoeing expedition.  This morning the 6 of us headed up some mountain (I have no clue which one) for a few hours of hiking through 2-3 feet of snow.  One friend Amy, went back to the cars early (accompanied by her husband Ben) as she wasn’t feeling well.  This was shortly after we were passing a sled with two huskies.  One of the huskies jumped on Noah, pulling my UCSB key chain lanyard from his pocket and breaking it.  🙁  Anyway, Jason, Allie, Noah and I trekked on for a while longer, awaiting Ben to catch back up.  However, even after stopping for lunch, we started to head back down the mountain just as Ben had almost reached our location.  Oh well.  It was a great trip but I am feeling the effects in my right hip, which started feeling as if the joint was grinding.  Not so much fun.  By the time I got back to the car I had worked myself into a limp.  Yet, it was all worth the time spent with good friends and the needed excursion in the snow.
