Saturday night Scott and I decided to take some time off from all the emotions and go out together. On our way home from Salt Lake one of Scott’s friends called us and invited us to go curling. We hadn’t ever done it before, but it sounded like a fun new experience.

They gave us a quick run down when we got there and we got right down to business. Each team throws 8 stones. The goal is to get as many stones as you can close to the middle, in order to score points for the team.

I was the first one to throw the stones on my team. As the “lead” my job was to try to throw my two stones so that they would act as blockers or “guards”. I needed to get them just over the “hog” line so they would be in the way of the other team.

That was the goal, however, being my first time, if I got them anywhere in play I was happy. I ended up doing pretty well. I really liked throwing the stones and would love to just have a bunch of time to practice.

I had a great time doing it. It was a totally new experience, but I really had fun. I love to play games, and I can be a bit competitive so it was right up my alley. I would love to go do it again sometime.
