Well May is HALF OVER! That means that my stay here is more than half over. It's a little sad, but I'm so excited to be back in Utah. Actually I really can't wait to be back in Utah and moved into my new apartment. I'm going to be homeless for a little while. Well today has been stupendous! But let me begin with Tuesday.
So guess what! My mom FINALLY got a new car last Tuesday. We've had the same crappy car for over five years, and I am very
excited to get a new one. Granted my mom doesn't pick very good cars and so this one has these problems already: the driver's side window doesn't roll down, the driver's side back seat's door doesn't lock with the button thing so we have to do it manually, the brakes are kinda weird... not bad just weird, and it's a FORD. Ford Escort '97 actually. Same as Monie's car but hers is a '96. Oh yeah that's my
house in the background too. It's cute and messy and falling apart. But it's home... lol.
Ok. So today is my new Ides of May holiday. Today was awesome. For me at least. Hannah had a pretty rough day... which started when she lost her engagement ring :( But anyway, I went to seminary today. It was fun, but I have a habit of making my already fairly hyper friends even more hyper. I can't help it. I've been labeled as the energy fountain. If I am energetic then anyone who is around me suddenly
becomes more energetic. It's a blessing and a curse that's for sure. Luckily we have an amazing seminary teacher. Sister Carr is so awesome... and very patient. I will have to gloat a little. It's been four years since I took OT, and I actually beat most of the kids in the class. All but Sarah and Gardner. But seeing as they've been studying it the whole year, I think I did pretty good. lol
After that I went to Lee's Summit with Hannah. On the way there is when she discovered her missing engagement ring. So while we were just outside Knob Noster we had to turn around and start hunting in every place we could think of that she'd been that day. She took her car to Jiffy Lube, so we went there and even searched the vacuum bag. To no avail though... we never found her ring. We prayed a lot, so maybe it'll turn up eventually.
So after we got done at Lee's Summit we went to Peculiar (yes that's an actual town name... weird... or should I say peculiar lol). So anyway we went to Peculiar to visit the KELLEY'S! I haven't seen them since Justin's farewell dinner thing, so it's been about a year. They have a new house, and a new baby. Baby Isaac is sooooo cute! He likes to cuddle too. He's a really good baby. He had just woken up and he hardly cried at all. Then we were waiting around for the kids to come home just talking and what not. Jeff (Julie's husband) was our old seminary teacher, so he would make the cheesiest comments relating everything to the scriptures. It was fun. I miss them, so much. Julie is like my best friend, and I don't get to see her hardly at all. It's kind of weird though. I think she's like 37 now, and I'm only 19. lol. So the kids came home, and you know what? It took all of them like 10 seconds to register who I was. It was funny to see the light bulb go off though. Talmage was first. I think he's eight now. He walked over to the door and just stared at me. And then he slowly started to smile, turned to put his bookbag down and then bolted into the kitchen. He was in socks and the kitchen was hard-wood, so we know how that turned out. Seth is six. He took a long time, but he finally came over to give me a hug. He's a cutie... but man he is getting BIG! He even talks differently. About five minutes later Elise the 11 year old came home. Hannah and I hid behind the counter, and when Elise got in we jumped up. Again it took a few seconds to register and then she came over to give us each a big hug. It was great. I miss them already. We are having dinner with them the 30th and they might come visit me on the 23rd of June. I'm pretty excited.
Sorry so long, but I always write a lot. lol
