Weekly Review (3/29-4/5)

Monday: MAKING MEMORIES WAREHOUSE SALE. Warehouse sales are one of my favorite things. You get good scrapbooking stuff for super cheap! Audrey P, Danielle, Natasha, Stacie, and I went together. I love my Pebbles girls. The super buy of the day was...... some REALLY REALLY sparkly blue and pink paper!!!! It was only a quarter a sheet. And the best news is, I only spent $13!! Okay, so my limit was $10, but still.

Tuesday: Snowy. American Idol--top download week. I'm still in love with Matt G's voice. So hot.
Wednesday: April Fool's!! Elise's birthday. School, work.

Thursday: MEGHAN GOT HER MISSION CALL!!! I drove home from work to see her open it. She is going to Boise, ID. So exciting. If you want to see a video of it all, click on the link to Lorina's blog. Also, on this very same day, Anisa Bennet got her mission call--- to Washington, D.C. South!!! She is going to be in the field while I am still there doing my internship!! Yay yay yay!

Friday: How do I not remember what we did on Friday??? I remember that I supposed to scrapbook with Audrey P, but it didn't happen. Why??? Oh wait, I remember. There was a bridal shower for Ashley that night. A very good, well organized bridal shower, by the way. And one thing to add- I TOTALLY should have won that game. There were cheaters in our midst.

Saturday: General Conference, work at Pebbles, and then the best game ever. I got, in my kids' meal at Arby's, THE BEST GAME EVER! The improv version is my sisters' favorite game, but I got an official one. It's called... "Would you rather..." In my family, the questions go something like this: "Would you rather go roller blading with Nick Jonas, or Jump rope with Joe Jonas??" The answer is always immediately, "JOE!!!!" Why do we even ask??? Or recently I asked Stephanie, "Would you rather play a regular role on 'Boy Meets World,' or co-star in a movie with Christian Bale?" She practically screamed at the idea. The answer was emphatically a movie with Christian. Anyway, the game that I got at Arby's had questions like. " Would you rather have a giant eyebrow that goes in a big circle all around your face and is un-pluckable, or ear and nose hair that is very long and cannot be trimmed??" Oh gosh, both such horrible options! They were really funny to talk about. I said, that if you were a boy, neither of these options would be as bad because your giant eyebrow could look kind of like a beard, and your long nose hair could possibly mistaken for a mustache- if you comb it right. And the ear hair could be sideburns. Too bad we aren't male.

Sunday: General conference. I watched the first session at home, and then the second at Grandma Colleen's house. Steph and I drove up to Ogden between sessions, and she made us THE BEST DINNER. The problem with eating at Grandma's is that she makes a ton of food, and then she expects you to eat it all, and tried to give you more. We has salad, mashed potatoes and gravy, a roast, broccoli, army rice, pineapple and cottage cheese, lemonade, strawberry shortcake, and ice cream cones. I ate enought to nourish me for a week. But it was yummy.

By the way, I had a dream that Meghan was going to Bora Bora in her mission. That did not come true. I'm losing my psychic powers.

Also, make sure you check out the post below this one. It's got some great stuff in it. :)

More pictures of the other events are yet to come.

And last, I am DYING to see "17 Again." It comes out on Friday. YAY!!!! Here is a picture from the movie, just to motivate you all to go see it.

A Tribute To My Missionaries



Yes, I have two missionaries now. Two at a time! And they inspire me. I love my Vanessa and Kennedy, and I'm going to miss them like crazy. But I'm so proud of them! They are just such amazing girls! They are doing such a scary thing, but if they can do it, then I can too! That's the plan: Washington this summer, and then a mission in the fall. It's weird to think that I won't be going back to school this year, and I'm not sure that I'll get over it. I mean, school IS MY LIFE! It will be very odd, that's for sure.

Anyway, aren't my missionaries gorgeous? They are. Vanessa is the one in the top picture, and I must admit, it's odd for her to be wearing glasses. She never did before. Apparently her eyes are no longer superior to me and Braidy's. Kennedy is the one in the second picture. She just got Lasik, so now she doesn't have to wear glasses!

Kennedy is going to the San Pablo Philippines mission- she left yesterday.
Vanessa is going to Malaga Spain, and she left last Wednesday.
Soon we'll be able to say that I'm going somewhere cool. Oh please let it be cool! And historic! I do love history.

And PS, I went shopping with Kennedy for missionary clothes, and we went to the Sister Missionary Mall. There is only one word to describe the clothes at that store: UGLY.
The end.
