playing catch-up: from finals & beyond.

after easter & the baptism, life got a little crazy.
i thought it would end when i took my last final on thursday night, but boy was i wrong.
this blog time on a sunday night is the first bit of me-time i have had in a week...

here we go with a nice run down of the last few days:


i had 3 papers due on last tuesday at noon, so what did i spend the morning of doing? going on an easter egg hunt with scott & shawna, of course!
truth be told, i found 3 eggs. feeding these beautiful creatures became too much of a distraction. ♥


thursday held my last final, but before i could get to that point, i had to say goodbye to my best friend in the world. :( she packed up in baby blue early that morning, headed to texas for our whole summer..

it was a little bit sad to see our old room empty like this.  it kind of felt like we were packing up all the memories forever :( change is never easy. lucky for me, she'll be back in august!


scott left for vegas on thursday night, leaving me all alone to clean and pack up my half of the apartment.  shawna and ammon came over in the midst of the scrubbing to keep me company and drag me to pirate island karaoke for a break.  it was ammon's birthday so i agreed to ride on his motorcycle with him... bad plan. especially because i left my phone in my closet without realizing it and thought it had fallen out while riding on that death-cycle. the night was spent in panic searching the dark streets of provo. you can imagine how stupid i felt when i got home and it was sitting on my shelf where i left it.

packing my stuff alone into my car on friday morning was another story in and of itself... being alone is never fun, but i was almost grateful i didn't have any friends at ventana after seeing crying girl after crying girl saying goodbye to roommates and neighbors. i did feel a slight twinge of sadness when i walked out of there forever, but i think it was because of the memories of last year. when cleaning, i fell flat on my face off a desk [if you didn't know, no day is complete unless i fall and injure myself in some way], and it brought back some great memories of cleaning with redd last year... not to mention finding our giraffe/zebra shirt and shedding a baby tear over it.  i would give anything to have my freshman year back. ♥


i was back in richfield by friday night, where i was greeted by baby t-bug and plans for a slumber party.  we spent the night making friendship bracelets, unpacking my mountains of stuff, and swapping boy stories. ♥ the next day, we were woke up bright and early by my father, telling us that we were to answer the mortuary phone and then, when the funeral was over, we were going to have to drive the giant flower[polygamist] van to wayne county in the snow. let me tell ya, i'm no bus driver, especially not in the snow. we nearly died eight thousand times, but we did get some epic pictures, including some with wayne county's one and only fake cop [parker bogus dolittle].  upon arriving home, we took a mini trip over to salina for lisa's birthday dinner/mini-party for michael being in town one night before he makes the long trek to alaska.  the night was full of canadian jokes, swedish food [coolest meal ever. learn more here!], apples to apples, and the best family in the world ♥
this summer is looking promising thanks to baby t & the rest of my amazing family! (:


the week ended with a bang on sunday...
meet marisa's new boyfriend, richy:

they were down from alaska for a weekend in vegas & agreed to meet us sunday afternoon in saint george for some olive garden and catch-up from the last year since we saw her.  marisa & richie are an adorable couple and i'm so happy for my sister! it was nice to have [most of] the sisters back together again.  i really wish we could get together more often, but when ris lives so far away, it makes it hard.  i hope i never have to live that far from my family! even if we do only see her once a year [if we're lucky], she hasn't changed a bit and we still have just as much fun together as we did when we were all younger. (:


needless to say, last week was a perfect beginning to my summer! ♥
2011 is going to be a great year!
