Dear Diary,
Once again, another great weekend!
Thursday night I went to play with Heather :) We took a little trip over to Forever 21 and did some shopping. That place is like heaven to us! I may have bought 3 striped shirts and an adorable white shirt, a belt and a necklace. Whoops. Good news is, I spend less than $50. Heat and I just did the usual girl talk! When we got back we shoed Netty (Lynette, Heathers mom) our new clothes. It's tradition :) Heats Dad even liked what I bought! That night when I got home, I decided I couldn't take my mess of a room anymore and I finally put all my clothes away!! Happy day. I like being able to see my floor!
Friday night after work I decided to go to the Draper Temple. It was a really pretty day, and I love how the sunlight comes in the baptismal font windows. It is so gorgeous. Besides the SLC font, Draper is my favorite. When I was finished and ready heather and I decided to go on an adventure. We went to Hobby Lobby to pick up spray paint for a little project we are gonna do. We then decided to go to Ross, where I used my store credit for a pretty cute shirt and cardigan. The shirt may have been striped as well... whoops. So Heat and I called it an early night again. I went home and got some reading in before I went to bed.
Saturday I woke up around 8:30am to clean the house. Staci was picking the boys up from Payson Canyon. She's a sweetheart and won't let me pay for rent anymore. She just wants me to help out, so I figured it would make her happy if I got most of the saturday jobs done before she got home. Man that place smelled like cleaning supplies by the time I was done. Might have been a bit intoxicating! ha. Everything looked fantastic though! Heat and I went to the pool around noon, we got some good sun in and lots of talking and reading. It was a perfect day to be outside! We also cleaned her car!
That night Bryan picked me up at 6:15pm or so to go to his family party. Two of his cousins were in town that he hadn't seen in awhile. Bryan made it sounds like the party was going to be awful and incredibly embarrassing It honestly wasn't that bad! Maybe because I secretly like those jokes... ha. I thought it was great to finally meet all of these people I've heard so much about. Uncle Gary is SO funny. Bryan has some awesome cousins and just a great family in general. I wish we could have stayed longer! We already had a date planned with Mark, Heather and Trent. We drove up Little Cottonwood Canyon to go hiking, but the hike we wanted to go on wasn't open yet. I was frustrated though because they didn't wait for us to follow them when we were driving up, and they didn't wait for us to start the hike. We ended up finally finding them and then we sat down to eat. We went to my house after. Carl and Brooke met up with us! So that was fun. We had a bon fire, s'mores and sparklers :) Heat and I mostly played with the sparklers... ha. We are children.
After the date, Bryan and I were talking. I showed him my cute $50 couches! We even tried them out for a minute:) Dang I love us.
Sunday I was running late because I couldn't get the awful campfire smoke smell out of my hair. I ended up telling Bryan to come inside while I finished my hair. It was kind of funny letting him watch me finish getting ready. He looked pretty entertained by how I curl my hair. I asked him to help me find the pieces I had missed. Anyway, pointless random tangent there. He did tell me I was beautiful, and we know that makes me smile like crazy!
Colton's homecoming was nuts! LA Norton gave his homecoming talk right before Colton, but he fainted!!! I guess he had been sick or something. He was able to give his talk by sitting and speaking into a microphone. He is a champ! But yes. Colton did awesome. He made me cry like 3 times. I don't know why missionary stories just get to me like that!
Carl's homecoming was after that, and he did well also. Funny thing happened, some guy comes up to me and says "I know you don't know me from adam, but these girls want to know where your dress is from." It was so random.
I went to Bryans house after that for dinner with his family. Dinner was super good! Man, they feed me a lot. We went to World Wide Missionary training broadcast with Jake, Janet and Rick. The broadcast was really good. I mean, lots of the same information about being member missionaries. But if they keep telling us to do it, then it's definitely not happening the way it should! I enjoyed all the talks a lot. But I have to say it was just a good day because Bryan was holding my hand and being so sweet through both homecomings and the broadcast.
After that we went to Colton's' house to eat and chat with friends. it was SO fun to be with everyone again. Dang I missed Colton! We also watched 17 Miracles. So, thats it! Just a fantastic weekend filled with seeing good friends, the spirit and fun! I have a pretty great life.
