Sledding on my birthday sort of has become a tradition now. My birthday is three days after Christmas so its the perfect time of the year to go for a sled. (Wow, I just realized how late this post is...) My friends and I went two years ago, and we went again last year (last month lol), and we'll probably be going again this year. All of my friends work during winter break, including myself, so we hardly to get to see each other, except for on my birthday.
I loved the simplicity of my birthday. We went sledding in the morning, went out for brunch afterwards, and then later that day, my friends all came back to my house for a movie. I'm really not a huge fan of birthday's because I never liked all the attention. I always disliked having big birthday parties growing up. But with sledding, everyone was just having a good time with each other that no one made the whole day be about me, which is exactly what I wanted. Plus, going sledding is free (if you already have your own sleds). Everyone brought their own sleds and we all met at my uncle's orchard. He doesn't technically own it but he manages the whole thing, which allowed us to have the whole orchard hill to ourselves.
The day was absolutely perfect. Literally. The temperature was just right to where you could walk around in a long sleeve. It wasn't too cold or too hot that the snow would melt. And the sledding never got boring. I always had the issue that after going down so many times, it starts to get boring. But the guys started to add a few things to make it different and less repetitive. We started off by just sledding the hill the way it was. And the more we sled down it, the faster it got. Then the guys, added a ramp, which was fun to watch them go down it (emphasis on "watch"). And then towards the end, they started to turn themselves into another hill, when they reached the bottom of the first hill. They got really clever. 😆
We each enjoyed each others presence and the hot chocolate my mother prepared.
Though out the time we were sledding, I recorded random clips and as I was replaying them, I honestly didn't think I had enough footage to make a nice video that was smooth and flowed well. But I was really pleased with how well it turned out to be and how smooth it flowed. So I decided to add it to this blog post.
I just want to thank Jesus, and give him the absolute credit. From having the perfect birthday to the video turning out better than expected. Thank you, Jesus! 💛
