Well, I got into Omaha on Friday. I went almost right to work. I got to come home for a while before though. We worked at Buffett, and it was FREEZING!!!! After work, and eating, I went to Derek Stevens house for a bon fire. It was so great seeing everyone before they left for college! Most of them left that weekend or the beginning of the week. On Saturday, we went to an ice cream social for our ward. After, I went to Sara's house to hang out with our seminary class. We were only missing Katlyn, Trevor, and Kiersten. It was great seeing everyone again! I'm going to miss Sara so much next year! She really brought our seminary class together. All four years, we were never really friends, until we had Sara as our teacher. We now all keep in touch and really do love and care for each other. I'm so thankful for Sara. She really was an awesome teacher. On monday, we went to Dairy Queen for FHE. After, Anna Marie and I went cosmic bowling!!!

On Tuesday, my parents and I went to "The Time Traveler's Wife." I really liked it! After, Anna Marie, Emily and I had a sleepover at Anna Marie's house. It was fun. On Wednesday, I went to Anna's to help pack. On Thursday, well, I will tell you about thursday later. Once I get the pictures from Anna.

And on friday, I got to see my muffin!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! it was the most amazing day ever!!!!!! i didn't take pictures though. My camera was dead. LAME!

Last day in Utah!!!! =(

We decided to go bowling! We get one free game every year, and it goes from fall to summer, so we had to use our free game!
This is Joseph bowling. Look at that awesome technique. hahaha.

This is me bowling.

The final score for the first game.

The score of the second game!

me and katie right before i left. sad!!!

I woke up around ten and packed and cleaned alll day. I checked out at 1:45, and got my key taken away. I had nowhere to live for a few hours! It was so sad! SO,

On thursday, we went bowling. I wanted to do something fun on my last day! I actually did really well! I'm usually not a good bowler at all! Then we played arcade games, and I actually beat Joe at air hockey and once at the basketball game! I guess it was just a lucky day for me!!

At 7:30, Aunt Terri, Amber, Aaron, and Brinley came to pick me up. We went to Terri's house. Brittney and her family were there also! It was great to see them again.

On friday, I woke up around 4:15 to go to the airport and fly HOME SWEET HOME!!!!

FINALS=OVER

I spent all day wednesday studying. And taking tests. haha. only two. BUT!!! FINALS ARE OVER!!!!!!!!! woot!!!

On wednesday night, I wanted to celebrate, so, we went to nicklecade!!! woot! but when we got there, it was only going to be open for another hour, so we left. and went to the creamery at wyview. Mainly to spend my money. So we bought lots of stuff. then we sat at a picknick table and played Farkle and uno. it was fun.

saturday sunday monday tuesday....

Saturday.... We went to Joe's house to roast mallows with his siblings. It was so fun! They are so nice! After, we went to our ward dance! FUN STUFF! It was small, like no one was there, but it was so fun!!!

Sunday.... It was our last sunday in the BYU 17th summer ward!! It was so sad! We took group pictures though!! woot!

Some of our bishipric. On the right is Bishop Lindstrom, Garrett, and Bro. McAtee.

Also on sunday, after lunch and church, Joe and I went for a walk. We walked over to the temple. The provo temple is so beautiful! At first, I thought it was so weird looking. But the grounds are just beautiful! I loved it! While we were there, there were so many missionaries!! They were everywhere, and they just kept coming! Kyle says it's because the temple is their only escape from the MTC. I wish I would've brought my camera! =( oh well. Well, we missed dinner, so we went to Joe's old girlfriends house. They cooked us dinner and we played games. We had lemon chicken and it was so good!!!! We also had these amazing potatoes. And martinellis. And then cantolope. Cantolope smells so amazing! But tastes so gross. We played Farkle and Hearts. It was way fun! Their house is so cute and homey! Once again, I didn't have my camera. (we didn't go home after the temple.) But oh well.

Getting gas to go to Sundance!!!

this is a picture of dear on the side of the road. I SWEAR THEY ARE THERE!!!

Monday... hmmm. I studied at the library and worked on a final project for english. and then for dinner went to taco bell. We went to star trek i believe? and it was AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Tuesday...studied allllll day. And then went to Sundance, to one of Joseph's highschool friends house for a BBQ. I got to see eric again! (He went on the campout with us.) It was way fun. The girl actually lives next to Brad Pitt? (i think that's who). but he's not living there right now sadly. Their house was exactly like a cabin. it was pretty much amazing!!!

Friday=date night!!! =)

hahaha. i made him to the emo face.
funny faces.

hahahah.

awwwwww...

alright. SO, last friday night was a night I had been anticipating for many weeks. The time had finally come, my date with Joseph had arrived! He picked me up and we were off. He decided that I needed to experience the many things Provo has to offer! haha. So, we first went to Cafe Rio. It's kinda like chipotle and Qdoba, except a bajillion times better!!!!!! I took that first bite and my mouth was so confused! there were so many flavors! It was delicious! I got the pork burrito and joe got the pork salad. they have lime ranch. AMAZING!!!! we stayed there for a while and just talked. After a while, we were ready for dessert. He took me to the fro zone! It was delicious! Then we just sat in a parking lot and talked. after a while, the police pulled up. Neither of us turned around to look. we just sat there. soon, there was a flashlight shining in our eyes. apparently, there is an 11 o'clock curfew for 17 year olds and there had been alot of freshman getting caught. So, we were lucky we were 18. And also i guess we were on BYU property, even though we were a few blocks away. and there is a midnight curfew on campus. SO, we got a warning. It was dumb.

BORING week.

So, This week has been fairly boring. LOTS of drama. But, I don't want to remember the drama. You know, I didn't think college would be as dramatic as highschool! But boy was I wrong!!! ANYWHOSSSSS...

So, Sunday, Joe and I finished watching The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. I was STARVING! So, once it hit midnight, we hit up Mickey Ds. DELICIOUS!!! And now, I have two mighty kids meal toys. Well, actually I gave one to Joe, so I only have one. hmmmm. So, we just talked. And decided to create a curfew. Our curfew is now two o'clock. But could possibly become earlier. And prolly will become MUCH earlier next week with finals.

Monday, Joe and I went to lunch. Then I got him to donate blood since he missed his time the week before. We got Jamba juice and T-bell. Yum Yum! That night, my group didn't have FHE, and so it was a rather boring night. Actually, since Joe's group didn't have FHE either, we rented The Da Vinci Code and watched it, because I hadn't seen it yet. And Angels and Demons had just come into the dollar theatre. So we went to a park and watch it. After, we went to the dollar theatre and watched Angels and Demons. Yeah, they were really boring. Which is funny, because I had seen part of the Da Vinci code in class and I thought it looked so good! So I was really excited to see it! But it turns out that that part was the only good part!

Tuesday. I went to class and then took Joe to Taco Bell again. Then I went to work on a paper while he went to ping-pong club. After, we went to our last ward prayer!!! It was really good. Katie's group was in charge. They did a skit and danced and Thomas played Mario on his trumpet. After, we watched a slide show of the past 6 weeks. Then we all gave hugs. haha. It was intense. Then Jon went to get a drink and pretended to spit it at me, but ended up actually spitting it at me!!! haha. So I spit back on him. And he said it wasn't fair so he spit back on me. And wouldn't let me go near the drinking fountain. But I got him back, and he tried to get me back but failed. We called it a truce. After ward prayer, Joe and I went to see Terminator 4. I thought it was so fake and cheesy, I just couldn't stop laughing through it all! Joe was so confused! We saw a bunch of people from our ward. It was funny. They thought we were on a date.. ha. nope. Our date isn't until tomorrow.

Wednesday. I took a three hour nap! It was nice. Then I got a call from Joe, we WERE going to go on a walk, but his friends from highschool called and invited him to go to a get-together. So, we went to this get-together. It was so much fun! We played A-Z, Ninja, and a name game. The name game was so hard for me because I didn't even know peoples names to begin with! Not to mention after they were all switched around!! But it was so fun. And it was great to get to know them, since I'm in their group for football games and stuff!!

Today. Not much has happened so far. I went to lunch at the Cannon. Then, I went with Joe to go get his car at the car fixer upper place. Now I'm doing this and then going to class. After class, I do not know what I'm going to do. Katie has a performance, that I really want to go to. But, Hinckley is making shirts and I paid and everything.... So we'll see what I end up doing. maybe somehow I can do both. Tomorrow is the beginning of the weekend. And I have been looking forward to tomorrow night for weeks now!!! I'm super stoked to see what is in store for me!!! =)

Ballroom Dancing is amazing!!!

This is the fox trot. Katie isn't in this one.
This is Katie.

So today, Katie's family had a family reunion at a water park. We went and swam for about an hour before Katie had to get ready for another dance permormance! This performance was at a wedding reception. I remembered to actually take pictures this time! I usually remember to bring my camera, but always forget to take pictures!

This was their last performance on this dance. and it is my FAVORITE! so I had to record it. Just watch how amazing they are!!!

This past week!

Tuesday, Katie had a dance performance. So, Joe and I went to ping-pong club. [yes, I went to ping-pong club, the things people can get me to do sometimes!] And then went to the show. It was so amazing! They performed for an adult ballroom dance camp. So Joe and I were surrounded by people who knew how to dance! When the routine was over, the dancers asked people from the audience to dance. and of course Katie would choose Joe! And everyone in the audience joined in. I ran. I didn't know how to dance! And everyone there did! I didn't know what else to do! So, I just ran! After, we went out to this mexican restaraunt. I had a breakfast burrito. It was AMAZING!!!!! like seriously. SO good! Afterwards, Joe, Katie and I went to watch UP, but there was no showings that late. So, we ended up getting seven pounds from redbox and watching it. It was so awesome. I love that movie!

Wednesday, Joe and I met for dinner and talked for a few hours. I love talking, it's so much fun! After dinner, Katie had another performance. We went to that. We planned on all going to see UP in 3D afterwards, but Katie decided to go out to eat with her team. So, Joe and I went to some theatre. When we got there, we were told it is 10.50 a person for 3D movies!!! INSANE! But, we were so excited that we went for it anyways! So we went in and enjoyed the movie. I, personally didn't care for the movie much. But after, Joe and I were talking, and he totally put it in an eternal perspective, and now I LOVE the movie!! So, we went home and sat in the parking lot and talked allll night. It was so nice to get to know each other so well! We have alot in common. Which is super cool. I am so lucky to have him as a friend!

Joe and I being really excited for our first 3D experience!!!! We felt like nerds in our glasses, so this is our nerd face.

Thursday, oh what a day. Joe and I met for lunch. After lunch, we sat on the lawn and talked for a while. We eventually got bored and decided to go to the park. We swung and then played bocce ball. While playing bocce ball, I threw the ball, when I looked up, Joe was bending over. I watched in slow motion, my ball hit his head. I screamed. And cried. After a few minutes he said he got tired all of a sudden! I DID NOT JUST GIVE HIM A CONCUSSION!!!! I was freaking out. I was literally histerical! I was crying and laughing and just felt horrible!!!!! We left immediatley, I refused to play anymore. On our way back we stopped at Wendy's for a drink and a frosty. We went back and I got my backpack and he took a shower. and blahbitty blah... So, later, we went to the library. We were there from like 7 to midnight. wooooot. After the library, we called katie and invited her to come watch a movie with us. She had a paper to write so she couldn't come. =/ So, Joe and I went to McDonalds for some delicious food and went to the redbox. We rented the Curious Case of Benjamin Button. My computer died halfway through. =( So we will finish it tomorrow or monday.

Friday, We went to a Relief Society sleepover at the bishops house. We went to a retirment home and sang to all the old people. They were all so sweet! There was one lady that was just so funny! She made us sing Jesus wants me for a sunbeam twice! She came up and sang with us the second time. She also sang somewhere over the rainbow with us! She came and hugged everyone of us! she also did the can-can! And she kicked some girls butt! I imagine my mom being like her when she gets that old! There was also another lady that showed me a picture of what she looked like when she was 23! She was beautiful! When we left there, we went to the bishops and ate lots of yummy food! She cooks so much good food! We watched Clue and then played some board games. There was homemade rolls, jam, icecream, banana bread. Everything! My camera died, so I didn't get any pictures. The bishop made us waffles for breakfast! yum yum!
