It Was a Roller Skating/Igloo Invading Kind of Night

So, last night was one of the funnest nights of my college experience! My ward rented out an 80's themed roller skating rink for the family home evening.  So, my roommate Ruby and I dressed in our best 80's attire or, in other words, whatever in our closet was neon, and poofed our hair to fit the 80's style.  Yesterday, in Provo, it was -2 degrees.  Ruby and I rode with a friend to the rink and as we got in his car, we realized that the ice from the cold was not on the outside his car windshield but on the INSIDE.  That was a strange phenomenon.  To be perfectly honest, I was a little nervous about the night.  I used to roller blade all the time but I hadn't been roller skating since the 6th grade.  I would have roller bladed but blades cost three dollars and I had left my wallet at my apartment.  The second I fastened by roller skates, I knew I was in for a night of embarrassment.  I hadn't even taken one stride before I fell smack on my rear end.  I sat there for awhile, not knowing what to do.  I got up as quickly as I could and assured everyone that I was fine.  Luckily, a wonderful friend lent me money to buy some blades.  That is when the night became awesome!  I didn't fall again and I was able to skate with a lot of different people. Afterward, as we were driving home, a group of us drove past an igloo! We promptly got out of the car and climbed into the igloo. It was super warm inside!  And to get out of the igloo, you had to slide out.  Awesome.  'Twas a wonderful night.
