Well, it was a very bittersweet weekend. BYU lost yet another game in horrible fashion, but I had a most amazing date.
The date was with Mary and was a last date of sorts. With me hopefully going on a mission soon and with her dating other people, last night was a possible end to things. Despite that, we had one of the best dates we've ever had. Immediately following the game, we went home and changed out of our game clothes. I bribed Annie to bring her car down so that Mary would not have to drive her car. To you guys, that doesn't make much sense, but Mary does not like driving her car and driving in general, so it was a kind of big gesture of appreciation. We fought a bit of traffic down University Ave. headed up to Sundance. When we got up there we had dinner (a delicious, hearth baked veggie pizza and soup) and enjoyed a good hour of conversation. Then came the highlight of the night. During the summer months, Sundance runs daily lift rides. You ride up the ski lift for a good 10-15 minutes and instead of getting off at the end, you turn back around at the end and ride it back down. It's a great scenic ride. It would be breathtaking during the day, but, they offer an even more unique experience on nights during the full moon. For a couple hours on a couple nights during the full moon, they have full moon lift rides. That's what we went for. It was nice and chilly up there and in our rush after the game, I left my jacket and we forgot a blanket. I got some hot chocolate for us while we waited in a quite large line. The line moved quickly though and it was soon our turn. From the moment we began going slowly up the hill, almost all of the cares of the world melted away. It was an unforgettable experience, gliding through the air, up a gorgeous mountainside lit only by the light of the moon. I will forever cherish that incredible experience that I was able to share with my dear friend Mary.
