Days of Craziness!!

One of my new goals in life is to take more pictures so that my blog isn't so boring and I can actually put some life back into it. I haven't taken pictures in a while though, so looks like this is going to be another plain post...

Wow! I just realized how much has happened since last time I blogged... you ready for this?!

I went to the Draper temple open house again. So much fun!! There were a ton of people here this time though! We actually had to wait in line and it was FREEZING!!! I guess that's one of the advantages of going during the week... less people! It was still amazing though! It is gorgeous!! :)

I also got the opportunity to go to a fireside at the institute with John Bytheway! It was awesome! I loved it! And we got there early enough to actually get good seats! (that's amazing for us...) It was really fun! And I learned a lot... I love going to firesides! It feels like I go pretty much every week! I guess that is a good thing though! They are so uplifting! Definitely something that helps me get a good start to my week!

Then, for Theta this week, (we had a busy week!) we had a quote exchange on Wednesday, which was so much fun! I love quotes! And I love getting to hear all of the quotes that people bring! They are so uplifting! It's fun! I love my Theta girls! I don't know what I would do without them!!! We had an exchange on Thursday with Xi (one of the frats) and we played games (catch phrase and pictionary)... I discovered that I cannot play teams when I play catch phrase! haha! There were a lot of people playing and I just couldn't keep track of it, but I also just wanted to shout out answers even when it was the other teams turn! So, thanks to me, teams only lasted a few minutes but we had a blast with the guys playing! Good thing none of us are competitive! I always love getting to know more people when we do exchanges! The boy to girl ratio was much more in our favor that night but we all still had a lot of fun, Xi is a great frat! They've got a lot of really fun guys in there! :)

Then, on Friday, Michelle got married... CONGRATS Michelle!!! I didn't get to go to her reception because I was so sick, but I heard she was gorgeous and I don't doubt it! I'm sure she looked amazing! Wish I could've been there!! I went to the GNO at one of the Theta girl's houses after though and we played catch phrase again (I love that game!). It was a lot of fun! Thanks for letting us use your house, Mal! And thanks for all of you girls who came and made it so much fun! I always love getting to hang out with you girls!! They really are an amazing group of girls!!

On Saturday we had our "March birthday party" for the fam... Me, Nicole, Pat, and David... luckily, only 4 of the March birthdays live in Utah! ;) It was a lot of fun! Annie came with me and got to meet the fam for the first time... She also got to see how much we eat when we get together! Now I have a witness!! If anyone doubts it, ask her! :) I am pretty sure I gained like 12 pounds that night! Sadly, I couldn't even taste most of the food but it was still fun to eat, and eat, and eat some more! :) It was a lot of fun to get to spend some time with my family too! Since I moved to Salt Lake, I don't see them too much! Thanks for the awesome birthday dinner, Grandpa! It was amazing, as always!!!

Yesterday, (getting close to finishing up the past week...) I got the chance to go to Amber's farewell. She is another one of my Theta girls and she is leaving on Wednesday to go to Nauvoo on her mission! She will make a great missionary and we are all really excited for her! Congrats, Amber! You will do awesome out there!! :)

Ok... today! :) I was supposed to go to Manti for a few days with Annie, but thanks to me being sick, that didn't happen :(... but I did get the opportunity to spend the day with my mom because she had the day off work. I've had pink eye for the past few days and it just isn't going away... I think I've washed my hands 2 million times since Friday when I found out that's what I had! The doctor said it should only last a few days... I'm still trying to figure out what "a few days" means! Hopefully it will be gone before Thursday! I have to go get my drivers' license renewed and I haven't worn makeup in four days! I guess I might just have to suck it up and go buy new stuff if it's not gone by Thursday! On the brighter side, that could be kind of fun! :) I guess we'll see what happens!

Wow... Once again, a novel! Oh well! This is more for me than anyone else, so I guess it's ok! :) I'm sure I will have a lot more to write after this week! :)
