Being back in Provo is bitter sweet. More sweet than bitter though. I had a great time at home! I had much needed time with my family! The statement absence makes the heart grow fonder is definitely true, and although I have only been at college for a semester, being away for almost 5 months made me realize how much I truly love and appreciate my family! While home we took some family pics! That was an adventure... we hadn't taken them since my freshman year of high school and I remember my brother Chris being a goof in all the pictures. Yep, things didn't change! It was a struggle to get him to smile instead of making silly faces. Oh well, it was a fun experience to say the least. Being home I was able to see lots of friends from school and church! It was actually a strange thing. I was amazed to see how much people had changed and although we still shared memories and experiences, I felt really distant from many of my friends! Even so, it was still fun to reunite and swap college stories and experiences! I spent a good amount of time with a good friend of mine, Torrie, who is starting at BYU-I this winter. She's basically been my best friend since we've been 12 and the reality finally set in that we are going to be a part! To this very moment, it's still an emotional roller coaster of how I feel about that situation... in the end, I think it's a time in our lives where we have to spread our wings and face it all! I know we'll still always be friends.
Since I've been back in Provo, it has been an adventure. I got back Sunday night and I was super tired. I had an.... interesting flight back. If you would like to hear the story call me, beep me, if ya wanna reach me. I was super tired when I got home and the battle between unpacking and laying around and be lazy occured... of course laying around being lazy won. Rachel was excited for me to get home so she made a chocolate cake from scratch! To top it off, we had ice cream to go with it! It was a pleasant surprise! I was too tired to stay up for too long though and crashed. Monday, though, I was very productive and unpacked all of my things from good ol' Missouri! I realized that I had wayyyyy too manyclothes and had to put some clothes in tubs. Butttt I gave myself two new drawers by putting all my school stuff into one drawer as opposed to three! It was fun times being all productive and organizing.... NOT! It's okay, I had my Pandora station on so I jammed out. After I was all organized and feeling good about myself, Katie, Jesse, and I went to Ruby River for lunch and then our usual Wal-Mart run. Except I had a teensy eensy little problem on our way to Wal-Mart. Well ya see, I kinda sorta had to pee. Like REALLY BAD. The kind where you feel like one jerk of the body will result in a yellow waterfall. So yeah, no bueno. Luckily I was able to waddle into Wal-Mart safe and sound. So there's one thing about Katie and I's Wal-mart runs.... we make 2 mistakes. One mistake is we tend to shop hungry. As a result, usually our carts contain a lot of things we do not necessarily need. Most of the time, though, we have enough self-discipline to take out a lot of the things we do not need before we check out. And the other mistake... well we like to get a lot of silly things. Like yesterday I made the comment, ooh I want to get a lunchable!! We walked over to get one... 6 lunchables in the cart later we were on our way off. Yep, that's us.
Last night I went to Liz's apartment with Katie to just chat because well...I missed her face! Phil came by and said he had fireworks so we got a little group together and watched him shoot them off. Then he and Liz had a Roman Candle battle... it looked like they were having a wand battle. Seriously, they should have shouted wingardium leviosa or something! Katie and I went back to Liz's apartment afterwards and then Katie got tired and left! Liz and I wanted to stay up for Markie to get home and then we ended up falling asleep on the couches. I barely recall Markie getting home. All I know is I awkwardly patted her on the back and said welcome home... then fell back asleep. Yay for first college sleepover! Liz, Markie, and I got our textbooks today from the bookstore. Afterwards we got Jambas! Yummy! Good times, good times.
I am so excited for another new semester and I hope it goes well! To the new semester!
