Me, Phil, Shelby, Kelsey and Lianna started our thursday off with a 9 hour drive to my future home, Provo, Utah. The drive there was full of laughter and lots and lots of singing. Regardless of us not having an auxillary cord or cd player! We brought back the childish games of MASH and True Love and couldn't hold in the laughter. Knowing your future life sprawled out onto the pages of crinkled notebook paper, what could be better? I didn't sleep much on the ride, but when I did I awoke to opera singing from Lianna. Lets just say we had some talent in the car haha.
For the life of me, I can't figure out what exactly we did on thursday night when we arrived. We stayed at Jessica and Vanessa Campbells aparment and they were so sweet to let us stay there. Before bed time we slowly started to realize all these little army men around the apartment. Hanging from the clock, on top of the picture, looking down from the door frame. Pretty funny stuff.Friday was the first full day that we had. We spent it waking up to some cinnamon toast crunch and then playing some basketball if I can recall the order of activities. A little bit later we went to Provo Rock Canyon and hiked/more like walked around. But I love to be anywhere that is outside, trees and flowers and the sky and stars just make me happy. Jumping to last night while we were driving home, I could probably stare out the window at the stars for hours. They were just so beautiful.
Anyway, after the hike we went and played some bball and then showered and got dressed for the night. We didn't really have anything to do so the boys picked up the couch from their apartment and put it on the patio. Phil and Dallin went to the store to get cards and came back with a pumpkin. They did good! This pumpkin was a huge 30 pounder with plenty of pumpkin guts. What went from a couple pumpkin seeds flung, turned out into a war. I got slammed in the face with a big pile of guts and shelby somehow ended up with some in her mouth. Carriage cove was colored in pumpkin guts, because for over an hour me, Shelby, Phil and Sam were running around bombarding eachother with handfulls of nastiness. But it couldn't have been more fun... haha. Later that night was able to hang out with Katelyn and Anthony, meet a couple new people who were pretty cool and go to this big dance party. Who knew mormons partied like that? Awkward and funny lol.
And then Saturday came, conference! Woke up and slowly got ready while watching the saturday morning session. Left around 12 and got the the conference center. It was amazing how close we got sit and it was just a great experience in general. When I dig out my notes notebook out of my luggage, I will have to write a blog about things I learned. Walking past the Salt Lake Temple was beautiful. I can't even imagine who wouldn't want to get married there. Me and my favorite boy in front of the temple.
As the night came to a close everyone was pretty exhausted. Most of us split up and went separate place, but a couple of us just stayed in and watched a movie which was nice. Got back to the apartment around 3am. Luckily, sunday session was a day spent in pajamas with friends listening to the prophet. Thomas S. Monson gave a great talk, along with one that made us all laugh. Later, Sam and I went over to Kelli's to visit. The next time I am there I will be moving in! I am beyond excited, I need these next 2 months to fly by and for everything with school to fall in place. Life is good!
