Best Week Ever!

This week has been completely amazing. Something to do.. every night! Here's a little recap for all those who were unable to be apart of my totally awesome week.



Monday: Still in IF, I went out to eat with my favorite ladies, Aloo and Sarabell! I missed them, it was nice to catch up. I said my goodbyes, and was off to Logan.. just in time to make FHE. hahaha. While at FHE we were racing cardboard boats, intennnse. We met some fellows, went to Spoon me with a bunch of people. (Spoon me just might be the best frozen yogurt shop I've ever been to! ... If you love me, spoon me!) Goooood times.

Tuesday: I had to work, someone's gotta bring in the money, right?! So after that, I was actually set up on a blind date with a guy named Jared. He was really nice, fresh off the mish, and was from Logan. We went to an amazing chinese restaurant. YUMMMY. When I came home, Zach (the boy next door.. I'll refer to him more in this post), came over so I could give him the whole scoop of my date. Haha he loves hearing about our non-existant relationship stories, or maybe he doesn't? Oh well, he wanted to hear about this one- nonetheless.

Wednesday: PAAARTY! Steph, Kelli, and I decided to head to SLC! One of my previous roommates, Al, was getting married and I wanted to go, so we made a trip out of it! Too bad I didn't realize that the wedding was in Alpine, like 40 minutes away, and I didn't want to make Steph drive all the way out there when she didn't even know her.. So I didn't find a ride to Alpine. But I'll bet the reception was amazing! Anyway, so we hung out at the Gateway. Of course I hit up Forever 21! A pair of jeans for $10? YES PLEASE! Then we drove EVERYWHERE looking for a coffee shop to get an Italian Soda, we were craving one badly. We finally settled for a Starbucks, which took us like an hour to find. haha we could never make it outside of Logan! Then we see the coolest building which happens to be City Hall, perfect place for a Kodak Moment! We took about 100 pictures there. :) Then we met up with Zach and his good bud, John at Zach's parents house. I love going there, his parents are so nice and hospitable. A big thanks going out to Zach and his parents for always letting us crash there! (We've obviously done this more than once!) So while at Zach's house we played Mario Kart on the Wii, and when I say we, I really mean that I just watched them play... haha less humiliation that way. And we watched Enchanted.. cuuute. Went to bed, had to wake up at 6 to make it home by 9 when we had to work the next day!

Thursday: Went over to the Retirement home to watch Evan. I had a really nice chat with this one lady at Lunch. She was telling me that Her and her husband had served a mission in Palmyra and they lived in the house that Joseph Smith grew up in! I thought that was neat. Anyway I was off of work at 7, and I had another date that night! Kelli and I doubled with some guys we'd met at FHE. Well, actually we met the one guy there, the other guy was his roommate who we'd never met. Still fun. This was probably the most creative date I've been on! We went to the grocery store, and the game plan was to make the meal ourselves, and one of their other roommates was the judge to see which meal was the tastiest. But get this! We could only spend $5 per couple for our food! It's so hard! We had to compromise on a lot of things.. But my date and I made some Enchaladas. Instead of ground beef or chicken we had to use ground pork sausage.. haha with processed cheese singles! hahaha it sounds really gross but we pulled through! We won over their pasta dish! YEEEAH! Then we went bowling, and I sucked it up! Then the second game we played goofy. I would have won that game if Kelli wouldn't have cheated!

Friday: I had to work, and couldn't get it off cause my boss is a ....... Natalie's Wedding was this day and I would've loved to go to the ceremony, but couldn't. Cause my boss couldn't find anyone to do it that day, and if she couldn't find anyone that would mean that she would have to do it. And she had SOO much going on that day... yeeeeaaaaahhhhhh rrrriiiiiigggggghhhhhhttttt. She's a joke, I am definitely not a fan of her. Did I ever tell you that it took me over a month to get a paycheck? Is that because she had soooo much going on? Geeeeez. So I was really mad that day, but I was able to make it to the reception, thanks to my wonderful Aunt Karla and Uncle Steven! They were so nice to take me with them, because I didn't want to drive alone where I know I'd get lost in SLC! haha. And after the reception we went out to eat at Texas Roadhouse with Marci and Darren (my other aunt and uncle). That was a lot of fun, Steven basically had two dates that night, lucky him, right?! haha. I really enjoy spending time with family, and I'm glad I can do it more often now that I live in Utah.

Saturday: Actually, this was the most boring day. I had to work.. It was a rainy day, and the drive through the canyon made me really sick. So when I came home I crashed. I could've gone to the rodeo with my roommie Steph, but wasn't feeling it. Lauren, a girl I had met at church, had invited me to go get some ice cream, so I did that. And I went to sleep, what an unproductive day!

Sunday: Ahhhh Sunday. My favorite day of the week! I was still feeling like major crap. But I decided to go to church anyway.. I figure if I go, the Lord would bless me to get feeling better! Haha, partly true. All through sacrament meeting I was holding back the urge to puke. I won't get into details though.. ;) I started feeling better during Relief Society though. Later that night at 5, My aunt Karla had asked Britten to invite me for dinner. So I had a lovely dinner with their family, and we played some Senior Golf! Karla and I won the first game and Logan and Lora won the next. Did I mention that I love spending time with family?! I'm so grateful for my grandparents and aunts and uncles that live here and always include me in everything. They are so good to me! Love you guys! I went to ward prayer at 8. Ahh, did I mention that I love Sunday's? I met a lot of new people there, and we stayed till way after it was over and talked. It was really nice. One of the guys that I had met had my friend Lauren's number, and he called us to come hang out at Alex's house. So we went over and played some Mario Kart, everyone dominated me, no surprise there. Haha, we played Around The Word- ping pong style. Also got dominated. Then we watched some Youtube videos. I probably have never laughed so hard in my life. We watched some pretty good Chubakka impressions! We also watched some Cambodian music vidoes, since Alex served in Thailand he had an appreciation for them. I kinda laughed... is that bad?! It's just funny to see how different cultures do their thing. It was a fantastic Sunday, and an AWESOME week! GAAH, I can't upload pictures on blogger today! LAME. I'll give you a little taste of our SLC trip a little later then!
