BUSY and FUN!


AWESOME WEEK!!!:
     Okay, so this week was busy!- surprise, surprise, huh. Monday I studied like crazy and then got an awesome work out in at the gym! Their facilities are so great. Tuesday was such a wonderful day. I went to classes and did some more homework, then I went to the Devotional luncheon. That was such a wonderful experience. There were like 8 of us BYUI students there. We were all trying to figure out how we got selected out of so many students. The lady told me that the higher up administration selects students that they think are great and then out of those selected, they randomly choose different groups of people to come to eat a Devotional luncheon with the President and the speaker.
    I felt so honored to be there! I have served the Devotional luncheon before and so it was so weird to be served by Warren (my boss, who was super surprised to see me there, heehee) and one of my co-workers. Well, I asked President what he liked most about his job. He explained that he loved seeing small ideas come to life and become something awesome. I really loved listening to the speaker talk to us because he was so wise and smart (brother Egan from the Young Men General Board). In the middle of our meal which was so tasty-turkey with a stuffing filling!-the fire alarm went off. It was so funny- we had to evacuate the building for like 5 min or so.
     After the Luncheon, we followed the guy in charge to where we sat on the stand. I was suprised later during country dancing when several guys asked me how I got to be on the stand. I didn't think anyone could see me up there! Anyways, it was such a great experience I won't ever forget. Brother Egan spoke about humility which really hit me. I decided I would be much kinder to my roommates. I worked out with a friend that night- we went to an abs class with an instructor that was so intense and awesome. He was so cool! It snowed when I left the gym. It was coming down hard and there were several peopl out there in the snow and I realized that there are some people who have never seen snow before;)
      Wednesday is my crazy day when I have 5 classes. I studied the 4 hours in between at the library. That night, a girl I sit next to in Women's Choir invited me to go to "Mary Kay" where she works and have a facial demo. I had so much fun! She picked me up and we went to the place and I got a relaxing facial. Then us people who demo-ed received free prizes. I got a cool lip gloss and they had treats. I actually REALLLLY liked their products. I think I know what I might want for Christmas. After the demo, I dressed up and went Country dancing. It was real fun- I saw my friend Daryl there, and some of the guys from lifs practice that did some of our crazy tricks. It ended up being super fun!
    Thursday morning, my marriage class was cancelled, so I went to the temple. I could not be more grateful to have a temple right next to campus- it is amazing. The spirit is so strong and you always leave feeling peace and joy! I studied hard core in the library that day,  I went to a wellness workshop also where I learned a lot about planning work outs, and then did a dance lab that night (for social dance class, we have to use what we have learned and dance with 5 people). Theeeeen, I went on a date. The guy I went out with is Brent- he took me bowling! It was really fun! We did different tricks with bowling like with our eyes closed, spinning, on our stomach...my only strike that night was the one I did with my eyes closed! I was way excited about that;) We then went to cocoa bean, shared 2 cupcakes and had hot cocoa (mine pumpkin flavored) and talked. He's such a great guy, but I really want us to be just friends:)
   Friday morning I went to classes and then went to the Wellness center where they did an all around check up on me. I learned that I am fit and healthy- I just need a little better eating habits and I'll be set. I am off the charts for sit ups, push-ups, and running! Sooo, I was glad to learn all of that. I buckled down and studied for 2 hours for a Science test. I haven't done well on the past two, but I totally killed that test!!! A 97%!!! I am so thrilled! It's possible to do well in that class:) I studied for 4 more hours after the test and got all of my weekend homework done.
    They were playing "Seven Brides for Seven Brothers" in the food court, so I went with my roommates to see that. It was a fabulous movie! It was okay being with my roommates. We just aren't very close, which is sorta lame. But my friend Cade came for the last 15 min of the movie and we talked for like an hour after that. He's a good friend:)
    On Saturday morning I got up at 6:30 to go to work. I had such a blast working with my co-workers, they're awesome people, they make me laugh and we just have so much fun! I really like being with a guy named Jancen, he is so awesome!We were catering for a party celebrating the 125th Anniversary of the Spori building. We worked until the party left at 10:40ish. We had 20 minutes to clean up everything, put everything away, and get to the Spori building where they were having the 125th Anniversary picture.Heidi told us that we could wear our Catering outfits. It was a mad sprint to get everything done, we sprinted to Nate's car and dashed to the place where the picture was taken and got there with like 1 minute to spare! We all jumped on each other's backs to be seen in the picture- but it was so fun! We all walked back and changed, then I joined Cade in line for the free "after photo" Potato bar. We had lunch and talked a while. I then ran to the end of the swing practice where I danced with some guys for 15 minutes- SO FUN!
       I then threw my stuff together and joined the Outdoors Activities crew and we drove to the Grand Canyon Hot Springs about 30 min. away. It was such a ghetto place, but I really liked it. The water was really hot and relaxing. We all just hung out and talked. There was even a deathly-freezing water area that you could go into, so we all made sure that everyone went into it. After that we had cookies and headed back. I got back, changed and went to the adult session of Stake Conference. Then I invited the two guys I had hung out with the week beofre at the caves to go with me to Battle of the Bands. Only one could go, so I met him and another friend who was with a guys friend. We had so much fun!
     There was a bunch of bands who performed some great songs like "Kiss by a Rose," "Eye of a Tiger," "On top of the world" and other fun songs. All four of us rocked out! Then there was a dance party after the concert for an hour. All of us partied and had a total blast dancing. After it was over, Logan and I said bye to the other couple and he walked me home. He then asked me out for next weekend. We shall see how that goes. SOOOO, yeah- that is my week of pure wonderful insanity. Stake conference was today which I really enjoyed:) We are going to a ward potluck which should be fun in one hour.
ABOVE=My awesome catering team for the day!!! Jancen, Me, Brooke, Lyndsey, and Nate- picture taken after the 125th Anniversary picture was taken.
BELOW=Hot Springs picture! The water was naturally heated and I'm pretty sure the water was natural too, but it looked like a pool;) Really fun!
