We help the Homeless


August 11th - 17th

Well, on sunday I found out Merrill was going back to SUU a week earlier than everyone :( So I decided to go play with her for awhile. I hate when everyone goes back to school. I am really happy that Heather, Mandy, Merrill and I went to New York because it was really the last BIG thing we could do together before everything would change. I still can't believe Mandy and Tanner worked out. I'm so happy for the two of them! Anyways, tangent over. I went to Bryans house for dinner and then we watched episodes of Duck Dynasty and Top Gear with everyone.

So, on tuesday I decided that it was time for a "me" night. I hung out at home, I watched Charlie and the Life of Pi. Super lazy, but hey! Sometimes those nights are necessary. I feel like I am always going from one thing to the next ya know?

On Wednesday baby Bryan was sick, so I went to his house to keep him company. I finally got him to watch Les Mis! He actually liked it too.

Thursday was the most RANDOM day. We decided at work that we were going to make a video to promote helping the homeless. We bought clothes from the D.I., Little Ceasars and Gatorades. We litterally drove around Salt Lake City looking for homeless people to pass everything out to. I will say, it was a bit awkward, but then there were some people who were so grateful that it made up for it. When we got done, we went to Tucanos. MMMMmmmmmmm yummmy. Sometimes I just absolutely love my job!!

My grandma was in town that night, so I went to see her for awhile! I love seeing her, and I'm g lad she came out to take care of my mom. Grandma helped her set up the house and make it feel more like home by hanging pictures and organizing everything. Vern, my step grandpa asked me to come outside, apparently they had china for me from my Great Grandma! She passed away earlier this year, and there was just so much stuff that they didn't know what to do with. When he started talking to me about them, I found out they actually belonged to my Great Great Grandma and they were being passed down to me! How cool is that? I don't think I have ever gotten something like that before. The china is SO beautiful. So, that night I went back to Bryans house and we watched the Truman show. I have to say, not my favorite movie. The strangest story line, and it was just one of those movies that frustrated me the whole time. However, I got to cuddle and take care of sicky. That makes up for the strange movie.

So saturday I went out to look for bridesmaid dresses for Jessicas wedding. Brooke came with me, and we couldn't find anything at all in her colors. turquoise is such a tough color to find, and it isn't really a fall color. Bryan and I were texting, and I found out randomly that we were going on a double date with his parents? I'm so down, but he hadn't told me anything at all! He's a planner for sure ;) We went to dinner at Johnny Carino's. Dinner was really good, Bryan and I got two different meals and shared. I like how we usually share things. Dinner was really great with his parents. Janet and Rick are so entertaining to me, and I like talking with Janet.

After our date we drove to my moms house to celebrate Laurens Birthday early with my Grandma Sherry. We had Root-beer Floats and cake. We even watched some home movies, and then the beginning of Monsters University. Later we met up with friends down by the Jordan River to have a bon fire. Colton, Garrett, Daryl, Brooke and Kyle. The best part of the night, is that when I got home, I realized I had left my phone in Bryans car!!! Left my phone in Bryans car....... I rushed inside, got on Facebook and messaged him right away. I felt so silly! Thankfully he doesn't live to far because I had to drive back to pick it up! I am a special human being. I'm glad that we were able to fit everything in that night though, because I wasn't sure that we were going to be able to!
