Fantastic - and sleepy -

So today was fantastic!!! I realized I haven't updated in years, so I decided I should, but be warned, it's very late... a.k.a. it's not my fault if this post is boring or rambley or whatever. I intend for a quick update to meet my obligations, to, um whomever reads my blog. And then I will meet my obligations to my bed. Yay, sleep. So, Lately: -Daniel got his mission call!!!!! He's going to South Caroline, Spanish speaking. He enters the MTC September 23rd. Want to know a secret...? I've already cried once because I missed him, and he hasn't even left yet! Gosh, he's just like, the greatest brother ever! -My classes are swell! L-O-V-E VOLLEYBALL -My family went on vacation a few weeks ago to Michigan and Nauvoo. We had a blast-o-blast. I love my family!!! Nauvoo is sweet, seriously go there. And stay for more then two days. Yeah, loved it. -I donated blood again, and didn't even die. I'm gonna be pro in no time! Yeah. And...do you want to hear about my fantastic day! It was sweet-la-pete. -So, first wonderful thing. I was singing a song. Then I turned on the radio and it was the same song! Haha. Nice. -Then, I got 100% on my first exam of the term. Yaya. -And the fabulouso rest of the day was spent with an awesome friend. We went to SLC and watch the Joseph Smith Movie, then we played in this sweet water fountain that comes out of the ground. We ate lunch at the Lion House, then we went outside an watched the most ominous/beautiful/majestic storm engulf the sky. It was sweet. So we played in the rain and let the thunder rumble our rib cages until it started to hail. Um, then the scandalous part: we wanted to play the piano, so we snuck into this room in the Joseph Smith Memorial Building with a grand piano in it. Haha, we were playing for like 15 minutes, when, little did we know, the room we were in was one of the stops for the tour of the building. We couldn't find the light switch when we went into the room, so we decided the window light would suffice. The tour guide lady came in and turned on the lights, but her back was to us as she described the room. We felt really awkward because the people on the tour were staring at us...and we knew we probably weren't supposed to be there. Finally, an older gentlemen broke our awkwardness by taking advantage of the tour guide's pause between sentences. He pointed at us and teasingly said, "And over there we have a couple of angles." We smiled and bashfully left the room, then laughed at ourselves in the hall. Fun. Whew, long story. So then we drove home and the most beautiful rainbow I have ever seen followed us all the way! Seriously, it was amazing! Yeah, fun day. Definitely Bed Time! HAVE A HAPPY FRIDAY!!!

My New HP

Yup, it finally happened. I got a lap top. So far, I love it. It's an HP. School starts up again in three weeks. I moved into an apartment a few weeks ago. My last day at Day's Market is tomorrow. I'm really excited for the new chapter.

What else is new? Oh, my money saving trick! So I needed new shoes desperately, but see, here's my problem. I like to "make things do" as long as possible, which is great! But the bad news is, once my belongings need to be replaced, I'm picky. I wanted two pairs of shoes. Each costing about 110 dollars. Yay. Here's the good news: since I already knew exactly what I wanted... AMAZON. I got both pairs for 75 dollars! Hooray. Seriously, saved me $150, and I got exactly what I wanted. Good times.

My roommate Danielle is great! She's so much fun, way easy going, and has a great sense of humor. She has a life size cutout of Edward Cullen from twilight. We have so much fun scaring each other with that thing. Seriously, many times I've opened my bedroom door at odd hours of the night to find a pale skinned, dark eyed man staring at me. Oh fun. But seriously, I'm loving both my roommates, Danielle and Lisa. It's a blast.

Well, it's time to get cleaning and packing. (We're going on a trip to Michigan, Navoo, and CEDAR POINT!) Oh, the best news of all...DANIEL's getting his MISSION CALL today!!!!

Happy Wednesday!
