Friend Love

May 20th-26th

What a long week! But, it has been a pretty good one. I feel like I was productive at work, and got a lot accomplished. Especially considering the fact that Brandon wasn't in the best mood all week and other people weren't doing their jobs. I handled a few crisis's very well this week :) 

Monday -  I worked, and we went to lunch at our little mexican place - La Fuenta. It is Brandons very favorite. That night I helped Kelsie get make up for her engagement pictures  and she was very happy with what we found for her! She will look very pretty. I'm kind of excited that she asked me to be the one to do her make up for engagements and bridals. When I got home, Staci was painting her office. That woman is like a super human I swear! We had a fun little FHE on the first Article of Faith. I was wondering where Staci gets all these cute FHE lessons from and I found out there is this website called ldsliving.com. I'm pretty sure that I will have to use these when I'm a mommy! They are really simple and short, but have a lot of perfect things for children to learn. This video about the first article of faith was so stinkin precious - http://ldsliving.com/story/70683-fhe-the-first-article-of-faith. When we finished, Heather Soffe came over and we went on one of our Walmart adventures. We were looking for lace to add to the shorts I was making from my old jeans. We didn't find any I liked, but did make cute shorts without lace. 

Tuesday - Was nothing special at work. When I got home from work, I helped Staci make dinner, and then I ran to the Temple. I met miss cute Brooke Saunders at the Oquirrh Mountain temple We were there for quite awhile, but it was really nice to sit and feel the spirit. Plus, it was nice to see Brooke.  I hadn't seen her for a couple of months. Later that night I went to Newbolds house to hang out with Newbold, Sof and Heather. We made a facebook event for a fun little friend party/ BBQ. People better show up! It is about time for a summer party with good friends. Heat and I took a midnight run to McDonalds after, and had one of our quality girl talks. Definitely a good night. 

Wednesday- Bryan picked me up after work and we drove up to Provo for our Wednesday Ultimate Frisbe. May I just say, I am getting very good at this and all the boys want me on their team now! I invited Jessica and Jordan and I'm really glad that they showed up. I'm hoping that Bryans friends will accept them in so that we can all get together and have fun during the school year. We went to sonic when we finished and got drinks. Bryan got us a Rootbeer (typical) but then added vanilla. Yum. Rootbeer will forever make me think of Bryan. We went home after that and watched the rest of the Heat vs. Pacers game, which may I say was SUPER intense. Overtime and then Labron wins it with like .2 seconds on the clock with an amazing lay up. Bryans cute mom saved us dinner, so we ate after family prayer and scriptures. I kind of love that family. 

Thursday - I helped Staci make dinner and then afterwards we went outside and gardened for awhile. She is trying to get me ready to be a married woman by helping me cook, and be crafty and do yard work. I love her!

Bryan and I had planned on making our list, but then Daryl Warner asked Bryan to hang out. I feel bad for the kid, he's pretty lonely. We ended up going to sonic with him for 50 cent corn dogs. He stayed with us at Bryans house the rest of the night. I thought he would leave.. especially with how much Bryan and I were flirting. Ah. I really wanted to finished our list, but what can you do?! We still had a good time :) 

Friday- I got to work at home, which was awesome. I ended up mostly working from my phone because Staci wanted me to come play with her and Sawyer for the day. We had a Sawyer Day! We went rock climbing, to Pretzel Maker, mini golfing and then to the pool! Bryan called me and asked me if he could take me to dinner, which made me really happy! We went to Cafe Rio!! YUM. I miss our Cafe Rio talks. We always have a good time together, and it just reminds me of the first time we went together and how we talked for like two hours. Man, I knew I was crazy about him then. I can't believe how much more I've come to love him!

We picked up Erika from dance and then went home to get jake for our little double date. My dork of a boy thought it was going to be awkward, so he ended up being the awkward one. He got better as the night went on though :) We saw Star Trek in Darkness, which was AWESOME. Seriously. I loved it. We played ping pong and pool at Bryans' house. Jake took his date home after and then Bryan decided he had to teach me how to actually play ping pong. He surprisingly was a very good teacher! I'm not completely awful anymore. Also. Bryan makes me happy. I kind of like him. 

He took me home after and we just always have the best talks. I see why everyone says to marry your best friend. Life is just so much more fun that way. He is literally my very best friend.

Saturday- Summer is finally here kids. I can't explain my excitement. The problem here, is that I work in an office during the prime sun tanning hours.... thankfully I have a boss who worships his "Sun God" and likes to leave work early, or work from home.  I spent the majority of the day at the pool laying out, reading and playing with Stacis boys. We had a very good time! That night I took Erika to menchies and we had a girls date! She's a pretty cute girl. I love how she just talks and talks and talks. There is never a dull or quiet moment with that girl. When we went back, I helped Bryan finish his jobs, and then we went to his room while I watched him clean his room. It is funny how we have fun even when he's cleaning his room. He wanted me to tell him what clothing I like and don't like of his, and I got to look through a lot of his mission things. I wish he would just let me look at his journals! He did read one day out loud to me. Also, I have to say I love that he will kiss me a lot more freely now. I'm glad we weren't that way before his mission, but I think it's pretty great now. I'm super happy we don't make out either. I mean, don't get me wrong. I LOVED making out with him, but I'm honestly just loving that we don't need it. It just makes me even more sure about him.

Sunday - Today was a little tough because I went to Sam Tooley's Farewell. I was SO excited to go! The problem was that I had to see Callie, Bre, Jessye and Brette. I haven't been closed to any of them for awhile... Bre and I keep up by texting and snapchatting, but we aren't nearly as close as we used to be. Brette and I didn't leave on good terms after we moved out.. so I was nervous about seeing her as well. Anyway, I went and Sam did SO incredibly well. She will be such a good missionary. When she finished I went to talk to Bre and Callie, and they we actually very nice so I thought "wow, this isn't so bad". Brette was even being nice. The Kokkolas and Bartlomes were even there! I got frustrated at Sams house though because Callie and Bree didn't talk to me hardly at all.... They don't even ask how my life is going or seem to be interested, and here I am always asking how they are doing and still wishing the best for them. Ah. I dont understand how people can quit caring ya know?

I got to talk to cute Sam for a bit, and she was so adorable and sincere. I guess I would just imagine that old friends could always be sincere when they see each other like the way I am or the way Sam is. She was sweet though, she told me she could just see a "glow" in me since Bryan had been back. I really liked that she told me she loved how I was always happy while he was gone, but now there is a glow, and she likes that I'm in love with my best friend. She also told me I looked really amazing, pretty and skinny - which is a fantastic compliment from her because she doesn't throw them out.

Well, even though things didn't go that great with seeing Bree and Callie, I was happy to see and support Sam. We even got a cute freshman roommate pic! (minus Macey)

The rest of the day was great. Sunday was gorgeous and Heather and Merrill wanted to go on a walk, so we took a nice sunday afternoon walk around Daybreak. See, these girls are so great. I'm so grateful to have friends like them who love and support you through everything. I can not see Merrill for a few months (she goes to SUU), and then see her and everything is just as it was when she left. I love best friends that are able to just pick up where they left off. I am super lucky to have these girls as my best friends. 

Heather and I :)
