indy's fun week

I really need to learn how to update this more often so I don't have a forever long post.

Oh well.

Sunday, the 15th - Preston and Corey (boys from my home ward) came over to my apartment and we had a nice chat and caught up and gave me a blessing. Bless their sweet hearts. Before they left, we had made plans to go to Preston's apartment for dinner later that week.

Monday, the 16th - We had FHE at the Schwarz's house that night. I haven't been able to eat too much without feeling like throwing up after for the last few weeks, but I tried to eat as much as I could....it was just so yummy! Lemon chicken, rolls, veggies, pie for dessert. My goodness.

Tuesday, the 17th - I love my LTS classes this session. I didn't know this was possible...but, the kids just keep getting cuter and cuter. Holy cow, they are so precious! And they try so hard. Thank goodness. ;) That evening, I went out with Desmond to go to the store for his roommate on his scooter and we drove around Provo for a bit just to talk. I love the scooter and that boy.

Wednesday, the 18th - Dinner at Preston's! Corey picked me up and headed over. Preston made this delicious Italian dish that was soooo dang yummy. After eating, we talked with his roommates and just laughed. I don't even remember the last time I laughed so hard and so much.

Thursday, the 19th - So, after work, my car wouldn't start. That was lame. It took me an hour and some help from my boss's husband (thank you!) before it finally started. Apparently it's the starter motor...whatever that means. 

That night, it was The Dark Knight Rises premiere! Des and I rode his scooter over to the Wynnsong to meet up with Ali, her roommates, and Danny. I brought my laptop to work on a paper while we waited in line (we got there 2 hours early) but ended up walking around the Riverwoods with Des haha. The movie was absolutely amazing! My mind was blown so many times. I laughed, I cried, I got frustrated, I cheered. It was so so so great. After Des dropped me off back home around 3:30am (the movie is LONG) I stayed up with Sarah and pulled an all-nighter - working on my paper, reading for a reading quiz, and studying for my upcoming anatomy exam. The last time I pulled an all-nighter was my Freshman year and I vowed never to do it again...and now I remember why. When I got home, Sarah told me the news about Aurora, Colorado. That is so scary and extremely horrific. That could have happened anywhere...I definitely counted my blessings and continue to pray for all the victims and their families. What a tragedy...

Friday, the 20th - I had lunch with my Aunt Claudia who I haven't seen in FOREVER at Brick Over and we discussed everything from classes to boys to life lessons, etc. She is taking classes this Summer at BYU after being away for 40 years. I don't know how she does it...i don't think i could ever do that! Came home and studied more for my Anatomy exam and then headed over to Sarah's house around 5:30 for dinner before we headed up to SLC for the MoTab Pioneer Day concert! It was absolutely fabulous. Katherine Jenkins was the featured performer and she was breathtaking. Her voice - my goodness. And, the songs were beautiful! So, I guess she was on Dancing with the Stars this last season and was the runner up and after singing one of her songs, she had her dance partner Mark Ballas came out and they did a dance while the orchestra played! AHHH IT WAS SO GOOD. I love Mark Ballas. I may or may not have freaked out when she told him to come out...

Anyways, it was a lovely show and I am so thankful that the Meyers thought to invite me along :)

Got back from SLC and hung out with Des again. We took the scooter around Provo again and went to this incredible park over by Walmart and just walked around and learned how to drive the scooter in the empty parking lot. I'll leave the driving to him, thank you very much. We got back to my apartment parking lot and just talked and talked some more. At around 2am, I began to feel delirious from the lack of sleep over the last few days and he gave me a piggy back ride up the stairs. He is seriously the best friend I could ever ask for. For real.

I have been going through such a different, difficult time these last few weeks and I feel like I was finally able to begin breathing again this week. 

Also, my flight home has officially been booked.

3 weeks until i'm home.

breathe.

i can do this.

Happy Saturday :)
