Monday Already?

This weekend was quite swell. Im just sad that it's already over and Im back in my morning classes again. 

Great. 4.5 days until my next weekend.

Friday night, Beth and I had to work until 7:30 but after that we went to Big Jud's for dinner and it was delicious. We came back home and Ben, Virg, and Stephen came over (Did I mention that Stephen and I are dating? Oh? I didn't? Well, Stephen and I are dating. He's pretty great, but more about him later.) and we played Boxers and Briefs, and Catch Phrase and we got beat by the boys...AGAIN.  

Let me just explain something.

In my family, we NEVER lose at Catch Phrase.  

It is THE most competitive you will see us get.

So when I came out to school I didn't know if my roommates were going to be able to measure up to my family when it comes to winning this game.

Oh, was I wrong.

Beth, Virg, and I ROCK at this game when playing together.

(My sophomore year, my roomies-Beth, Virg, Heather, Kakamoe, and Megan and I-would play this just to play it, thats how much we love it)

So, you can imagine our disappointment when we got together with Ben, Jordan, and Stephen, who don't even know each other that well, at all, whooped our butts at this game. TWICE. 

What the?

Are you serious?

We NEVER lose this game.

The most impressive clue given by Stephen, to Jordan and Ben, went as follows:

Stephen: "Patrick is a...?"

(Beth, Virg, and I are sitting there like...? Seriously? I was sitting there thinking, "Wow, what a terrible clue...")

1.7 seconds later, in unison...

Ben and Jordan: "STARFISH"

Are you kidding me?

How in the world did they get that and how did they get it that fast?

At this point, he passes it on to Beth and we continue to lose. 

Boo.

So that is how our Friday night went. Other than losing at Catch Phrase, it was a pretty good night.

Jordan felt the need to photograph their win/our loss.

Saturday was pretty relaxed.  I worked for an hour, and we went to the store and watched some TV, took a nap on the couch, did nails, so on and so forth.  Stephen came over and we played Rummy, and he beat me again, although I was winning up until the end.  That counts for something right? Ok, maybe not.

We also went and watched one of his roommates play black light volleyball.  

It was way cool! They lost, but it was still way cool :)

Sunday was probably the best day of the weekend.

We had church, which was great and then we came home and made dinner.

We made Jambalaya and for dessert we made Pretzel Bottomed Peanut Butter Cup Cookie Pie.

(Beth and I did not have any of the Pie, and let me just tell you, it was torture to make)

We invited Ben, Virg, Jordan, and Stephen over for dinner.

This was the Pie. Doesn't it look scrumptious? Yeah, I wouldn't know.

Next, we had the brilliant idea that we should go and Saran Wrap Jordan to a tree. What? 

We did what?

Yeah, we Saran wrapped Jordan to a tree. You heard correctly.

 Don't worry, we documented it.

Oh yeah, his feet were NOT touching the ground AT ALL.

Yes, this is real life.

Jealous? You should be.  The best part was the reaction of the people walking by.  Some people didn't even realize he was there. How do you miss a guy Saran wrapped to a tree?

So after about half an hour, we took him down and went home and played some more games.

Overall, great night.

So, you could say I had a pretty great weekend, but now back to the daily grind.

Hopefully, I'll talk again soon.

See ya!

February...

I’m back! I’m trying to catch up on my posting, so I’m letting you know what has been going on in this crazy life of mine.  To continue talking about February…my friend Cailey had her birthday on February 23, and then…. her baby came the next day!  His name is Spencer (they didn't name him Spartacus like I hoped they would) and he weighed 9.1 lbs. He is precious!  Unfortunately, he is still in the NICU just because he can’t quite eat on his own yet, so they gotta keep him there until he can!  Hopefully he is coming home soon! But, I am starting to feel so old because some of my best friends just had a baby.  WOW.  I am so excited for them though, they became instant parents and it seriously just warms your heart to see that happen.

Isn't he precious?!

Valentines Day came and went and none of us had any dates, although I got flowers from two wonderful people and so that made my day :) however we made lots of cookies and sweets and we proceeded to eat our feelings, well as much of them as we could. Overall it was a decent day.

The next week we had Mardi Gras and made King Cake! We even had a baby to put on the inside, thanks to our friend Jordan.  Beth was the lucky one who got the piece with the baby inside! That night we had some other sweets and stuff too because Beth and I gave up sweets and candy for Lent, and I can gladly say that we are sticking to it.  We have not failed.  No one thinks we can do it, so we are determined.

            That Saturday, Beth, Jordan, and I went to Utah for a couple of days.  Saturday was a concert and that is the main reason we went down. We really just wanted to get out of Rexburg because we were going insane.  The concert was We Are the In Crowd and Every Avenue.  It was a pretty good concert, the crowd that was there was a little bit different, I mean there were like parents there…what? Yeah, weird.  We got to hang out with our friend Mike too, who we hadn’t seen in a while. Anyway, we had a great time, just chilling in Salt Lake City, and we got to visit the Slades for a little bit.

This is the lead singer of Every Avenue.

The next eventful thing that happened was the next week and it was Leap Day.  Leap Day is already an eventful day in and of itself, BUT one of my BEST friends got engaged!  VIRG GOT ENGAGED! 

Presh :)

Later that night we celebrated with cookies, (Beth and I did not partake of said cookies) Martinelli’s, and games.  It was way fun.  Were so excited for her wedding which is gonna be sometime this summer in Virginia!  WOOHOO!

 Me, Virg, and Beth

Ben and Virg...and our cookies! 

So cute.

                          So that was February and it was a great month.  March is probably going to be pretty stressful just because it’s the last month of the semester and finals are coming up…eek! I promise I’m gonna take more pictures too and put them on here!

Life Happened

So, remember that time I said I was going to post on my blog a lot more? Yeah, well obviously that didn’t happen. I apologize.  I’m not very good at this blogging thing.

However, my mom got on to me the other day for not writing more on my blog because apparently there are some people out there that want to know about my life…School has just been so busy this semester and I struggle to find time to write on here. I guess instead of wasting my life away on Facebook I could write blog posts and maybe I should try that, but I’m gonna have to take it a week at a time.

So here I am. I apologize for my absence.

So what’s been going on you might ask?

Well January was a pretty good month I guess.  We had a few parties for my friends Heather, Virg, and Stuart. We also had a baby shower for my friend Cailey and that was a lot of fun.  I met a lot of people in church and in my classes.  There have been some great movies that we’ve seen as well. January was just filled with parties and good times.

February was WAY fun.  At the beginning of the month I tried out for a show on campus called the “The Valentine’s Day Show” and the appeal behind it was the audience members get to text in to win a date with their favorite performer.  So, I definitely didn’t know that until AFTER I tried out and so I was like…oh great, this is gonna be fun.  So I ended up getting a spot in the show and I won a date…lucky me…My performance was ok, my microphone didn’t work for the first half of the song…but other than that it was ok. All of the other performers were all very good as well.

(This is me in the school newspaper after the show)

So the date was with a guy who will remain unnamed because who knows who reads this blog.  The following week we went on our date and we went to a comedy show and it was so awkward. You don’t even know.  Basically after he found out that I liked scary movies, the date just went downhill from there…He said that people who like scary movies, like fear, and fear is of the devil, and therefore, I basically worship the devil.  ACTUALLY, NO, I don’t worship the devil.  I just like the thrill I get from watching those type of movies.  It’s like the same thrill you get when riding a rollercoaster, which is AWESOME!  So after the show, I got home probably around 9 o’clock, which is definitely ok with me. 

Well, I’m gonna post another post here in a little bit, I just don’t want these posts to be too long, because that is just annoying to read freakishly long blog posts.  So I will write again soon!
