what a weekend

I think I need a weekend to make up from this weekend. I didn't stop all weekend it was crazy. Friday I even took a half day off of work to try and make it so it wasn't so crazy. I really had a good time it was just busy. I just didn't have time to catch up on sleep like i wanted to. Friday my roommate Tina and I went shopping and we ended up getting supplies to paint. It was great I haven't painted in a really long time. It' s still a work in progress but when I'm done I'll take a picture and post it for all of you to see my mess lol. We were also putting together a date block for my friend Carlee that's getting married in a few weeks. It was fun and what I think was a fabulous idea I just wouldn't do it that late at night again. I was so tired....It' s harder now that I'm older to go to bed really late and then get up early for work and other things.
The midnight Walmart run... there were some things that we needed to get for Car's gift so we made a Walmart run even though we were exhausted. It all went well other than we wandered from one end of the store to the other just because we weren't thinking clearly. Then came the scary part as we were walking to the car there were two other cars parked right next to Tina's. and they had their music pumping the black mustang had his trunk open. as we approached and the owner of the car finally saw us he slipped the stash in his pocket. I hurried and looked away. I was just thinking "I didn't see anything act natural and they won't shoot us or something." As soon as we got in the car I was like "Tina get in and lets get out of here as fast as we can ." Yes I was a bad citizen. we were so worried about getting away from there and shocked that we had just witnessed a drug deal at the Layton Walmart. You know it happens in your town but it was right there 2 feet from my friends car. The moron in the other car was just continuing his story about how he out smarted the cops and they didn't catch him with his stash. Really I was so dumb founded and I didn't call the Popo what the heck is wrong with me? I vowed however if I ever find myself in that situation again I will call the police. I really felt violated. I want to feel safe in my community. I guess that's what you get with a Walmart though...trash...in every sense of the word. It's a great way to start out the weekend don't you think?
Saturday morning we got up and finally made it to Carlee's shower late because I had no idea my friend Melissa had moved back home. We weren't the last one's though Tara saved us from claiming that title. I love my friend Tina I do. She just marches to the beat of her own drum so I can't ever expect to get anywhere on time with her. We really did think that we'd make it though and we would have if Melissa was still living in her old place. After the Bridal Shower I had just enough time to go home grab some grub and head over to my grandma's for my Sister in laws baby shower.
Yes that's right my brother Ty and his wife will be the proud parents of the first Grandchild/niece in my Family. I'm excited to experience it. I'll be able to be the cool aunt. which is kind of hard to wrap my mind around right now. I'm so baby hunger right now it's not even funny, but that could just be the hormones running rampant through my body right now.
It was really good to see my aunts they're awesome. They try and take care of us and just want to see us happy and that means married. I cried but like I said earlier hormones. It's hard to be single but really right now in my life I really am happy I have an opportunity to go to the Temple at least once a week and feel peace and I have hope that everything else will come as long as I am faithful. I ended up staying at the shower longer than I had planned and then made Tina all upset because we didn't have time to go shopping for a dress for the Black and White ward party we were having that night. I'm sorry I can't do everything. It makes me sad that we can't just extend some days and fit more stuff in. I had about an hour before I had to start thinking about getting ready for the party and that entire time I tried to convince Tina to come and be social with me. She wouldn't though because she didn't have a fancy dress. I told her just to wear a church dress, but heaven forbid she was the only one in church clothes. Which was bunk...by the way... I told her I was wearing church clothes and that there were probably plenty of people wearing church clothes. It just wasn't good enough for her though. I was done talking at that point if she didn't want to come and socialize I wasn't going to make her. I told her however that she couldn't complain to me or around me that she had no social life. She had a perfectly good opportunity to come a be social. It hurts my heart that I can't just wave a magic wand or twitch my nose and help my friends dreams come true. I can't help them very much if they don't try and help themselves.
We had a blast at the party though. It was so fun we ended up dancing and then we were invited to go to a movie with a big group. which I owe meg for. We went and saw the new Alice in Wonderland from Disney. It was really good which I was surprised by because the trailers just make it look like it's going to be a crazy movie that has no rhyme or reason. It was kind of fun going to a movie all dressed up;-)
Sunday was pretty good as Sunday's always are. It was fast and testimony meeting and for some reason I can't stop myself from sharing my testimony. I try to share what I'm feeling at the time so just pieces of my testimony. If I were to share everything It would take all day. I try to keep it simple and short so other people have a chance to share. I shared my thoughts about the Holy Ghost and how special it is to me. I hope it made sense cause I had no idea what I was going to say bah....it could have just been a jumbled mess of word salad for all I know and remember. I could feel it though and I need to learn to speak what I feel. I was invited to dinner at my friend Ira's house after the fireside. The fireside was amazing as they usually are. Meg came with me to dinner and it was a lot of fun. I made bread sticks and cookies and he made frozen lasagna(what a boy thing). there was a good group of people there and it was great to just talk and develop friendships. I said that maybe we'd have them over in a few weeks for dinner kind of make it a tradition.
What a weekend!!!!! it was great just to have an opportunity to have so many wonderful experiences minus the drug deal. Meg said that this was the most fun she had had in like a year and a half. It was the most fun I had had in a long time as well. I'm grateful for all the experiences and friendships that i have gained and I look forward to continuing to develop those friendships. My life is so different then it was even 6 months ago and I'm so grateful for that.
