Hot tubbing

First off, check out this blog: 101 Happy People Project.
 We read about his story in the paper a couple days ago and I girl in my ward actually knows him. Pretty cool idea.

We got to listen to Mark Zuckerberg at the Marriott. It was cool to listen to him speak.  You can tell he is a normal guy, which I liked. 


Friday night we hot tubbing! It felt so good! The pool was super nice too.

We hit up IHOP afterward. Hot chocolate after that was so delicious.

The weekend was a lazier one, but much needed. Now back to American Heritage, Health classes and figuring out what my life will look like in the Spring and Fall.

Catching up before it's too late

Saturday night we headed back up to the Bottomless Pit. It was a huge group of people but still went well.  We had a bon fire going (thank goodness because it started snowing and it was freezing) and had lots of stuff to burn.  We even found a free couch that looked way sweet when it burnt.

Marissa and I went to the guys' ward (my freshman ward) to hear Zach talk. When we were moving to sit down by the bishop's wife she says, "Oh Javier! You have some cute girls with you today! It is refreshing to see such pretty faces!" I love her! haha She asked us if we were in the ward and I said I was in it last year. She just freaked out saying she knew she knew me but couldn't remember if I was in the ward now or in the past.  She asked who was older out of Marissa and I and couldn't believe Marissa was 3 and a half years older than me.  Throughout sacrament she made the funniest comments. Zach's talk was awesome and he made our whole row cry when he "sweated out of his eyes."  It was awesome to see the bishopric again.

Monday night we went with them to Brother Quist's (one of the counselors in their ward) house for FHE. I love their family.  We played Beatle's RockBand, had a Q&A with Junior (really cool), held their frog (made me miss the ones that are on our sidewalk in the summers), whooped Zach in arcade basketball and had brownies and homemade ice cream (we had it last year and on the way up to his house I was hoping we had it again.)

He wanted to take a shot at carrying Junior. 

His wife pretty much had a heart attack thinking he was going to ruin his back. 

We had a game last night. First round of tournament and won! They only had four girls on their team and two of the girls were super nice. One of them was on our team last year and she is the sweetest.  I don't know when our next game is but I am excited!

I am definitely sad about the game tonight. I will miss Jimmer.

I went to Oedipus the King with Preston (the guy I went on the triple blind date with).  It was an interesting play and a fun night.

Just so my momma knows

So last June I enrolled in an American Heritage class. I planned to have it finished by the end of summer but I underestimated by self discipline when I got two jobs and couldn't get past the suuuper boring introduction.  Well, since I have spent plenty of time procrastinating I have decided to start. I skipped the intro and have made it through the next three chapters. The sad thing is I didn't just decided this on my own, although I would pretty proud  of myself.  I was in Interior Design and we were learning about the styles of this time period and it made me think of our (kinda) family trip the East Coast this summer.  I decided I wanted to refresh my memory of history so I could be ready when we visit all the history sites and I won't have to fake knowing everything. Anyway, I plan to be done by the end of the semester. Finally!

Yay for not procrastinating any longer!

My Kind of Find

I am very particular about what Q-tips I use. They have to be Q-Tip brand. I cannot stand the plastic ones or the ones with barely any fuzz on them.  when I went to Smith's they didn't have the big pack that I usually get and I was pretty upset so I bought this small little box of them.  I am in LOVE with it now! They are so freaking adorable. They are called Vanity Packs.  I always stress about how to pack my q-tips but with this I can take it because they don't fall out. I was super excited. They have all sorts of different designs.  I may be a dork but this made my day.

CAMPING!!!

I LOVE CAMPING!!!! I loved seeing stars and being out in nature. I am a sucker for it.  It was a great weekend. And we watched Battle L.A. it was a pretty good movie. Thank you Sherry for letting us borrow some of your camping gear!!!

Long Weekend= Long Post

Can I just say I LOVE my four day weekends?? They give me plenty of time to get work done but also have tons of fun!  Thursday night we had a basketball game. Which we won.  It wasn't the best game but we survived.  One of the refs reffed the last game that we got totally beat up in.  He apologized to Marci after saying that that game was the worse he has ever officiated.  We thought that was nice of him and could tell it had been bothering him for the past week. We watched Aaron's water polo game afterward... they lost but Aaron did awesome!

 Marci and I sent off a card for Cecil's birthday. He was a regular at the BBQ since day one.  He is the sweetest old  man and has the best life stories.  At his birthday next Sunday at Wapato Point Cellars he is giving a presentation about his life. It will be awesome but I am so sad that I will miss it!

Marissa and I had TONS of energy the rest of the night. We cleaned our room and stayed up until like 3 or 4? We had so much energy that we went to WalMart. And still had energy after... When we finally went to bed we got plenty of sleep for the next day and woke up at 11:30.  We ran a few errands and played catch!! We got a little sun burnt and you can start to see my freckles coming back!!! One of my favorite parts about springtime.  After that we helped Javier with his bike.  He needed to take it to the shop so he can order a part.  The shop was sweet! It had mini (Marissa and my size) four wheelers and bikes. And they had dogs. Which I have missed.

We then went home to get ready for a triple blind date.  Stacey and Fuzzy set up a date with Marissa, Stacey's hometeachers (Preston and Erik), Preston's brother and Mallory Hart that was in my ward last year.  We went to the gymnastic meet. BYU lost. and got cupcakes at Sweet Tooth Fairy.  They were awesome. (and recognized by Rachel Ray).  They then took us home and we went and hung out with Javier, got a movie and watched it with Nick. We watched Devil. It was pretty good. Not the scariest and it had an alright story line.

We got up on Saturday at 9 to help Nate coach Mike's basketball team since Mike had to go home for the weekend.  Those parents were terrible! They kept talking about how much the refs sucked, how we didn't really know what we were doing and one parent came down to the huddle and told the kids to tell the refs to call 3 seconds. They were just annoying, and we lost the game. Sorry Mike!

After we got back we took showers to get ready for the last BYU home basketball game.  They played awesome.  Such a good way to end.

 Jimmered.

 The man with the best arms.

 The seniors.

After the game we went and hung out again. Zach made some chocolate sheet cake that I of course had waaaay too much of. But it was delicious and I hadn't eaten like anything all day so I think that it was okay. Pepe on the other hand thought it was disgusting,  me eating that much.

We helped with Junior's laundry and while there I sat in a rolling laundry basket.  Junior would ram me with his chair and launch we across the room.  It was fun but always super freaky because I couldn't steer and there was no way to tell where I would go.  After doing that a couple times and having him stuff me under a table, i decided I should get out before I broke myself.

Saturday night we went to the Classic Skates for Disco Night (Javier was invited by another friend for her birthday and so he invited us!)  We looked awesome. Javier, Junior, Marissa and I dressed  up and Stacey and Fuzzy showed up later.

 Junior has the BIGGEST mouth out of anyone I have ever met.

We got it once. And we were sooo proud of ourselves. :)

Stake Conference was today and it went really well.  Plus, it was at 1 so we got plenty of time to sleep in. I didn't wake up at all during the night and didn't set an alarm. I was lucky I woke up at 11:45 or else I have no idea when I would have.  We took short naps which I didn't need but wanted and headed up to Beckie's for dinner! It was delicious. Of course, Beckie is an amazing cook.  She made pizzas and wacky care. SO good! Thanks again Beckie!

Now off the studying for a test I have to take tomorrow. Woo hoo!
