If Anything Can Go Wrong It Will Part 2

So here is the continuance of my "If Anything Can Go Wrong It Will" story.

Sunday I spent the night with Kathryn... nothing went wrong there; that was really fun. I rock at Wii bowling. lol. So the next day I go at 9:30 to sign my contract, but there was a sign on the door that said it wasn't going to be open until 11:30. 

So I get back in the car, but when Kathryn started it it started making a funny noise. So she turned the car off but the noise didn't stop, actually it got worse. So we opened the hood (or trunk if you're Kathryn) and smoke started coming out and one part of the engine was vibrating. Later it started crackling. Then this guy came over to help and cut a few wires and eventually the thing stopped. He told us that if we'd let it go for about one more minute, it would have probably burst into flame. 

So Kathryn's mom came to get us and we did some running around. When we went back at 11:30 the sign said noon. Then we went running around again, and came back at around noon, but the sign had been changed to 2. So we decided to just stay and figure the car (which is now in the back of where Rose Hallows office is) they called Kathryn's brother and he took a look at the car then waited around for the tow truck. We got my boxes and they helped me move in. 

So that was Monday. Something was definitely trying to get me to not move in. :)

Well that night I went to FHE with Natalie and had a blast. They had a lesson about the apostasy and everyone was really interested. There was a discussion and everything. Then they went downstairs to surprise this girl for her birthday. Natalie, Addison (one of the FHE dads) and I went upstairs to filled up water balloons. Afterward we played water balloon volleyball across the balconies. It got pretty entertaining, especially when our team decided to grab some balloons and just chuck them over. Then everyone decided to go to The Elms pool to go swimming with their clothes on. Everyone seems really awesome.

Then last night I went to Institute for the first time, and the teacher is amazing. He is really funny, but he stays focused. He even makes us participate in smaller groups. He is very passionate about the gospel. We talked about two of Elder Oaks' talks. The first was Testimony and afterward he had us bear our testimonies to each other because Oaks said that more testimonies are gained on the feet bearing them than on the knees asking for them. The second talk was "Good, Better, Best". We talked about some examples and somehow got on the topic of books, and now we've all been challenged to read one book a week. 

So yeah I'm so excited. Now I'm waiting to see if I get this job at the Bookstore. I have an interview tomorrow wish me luck.

If Anything Can Go Wrong It Will

It's been a couple days since I've blogged. But that's ok because Kathryn is the only one who checks this and she is already updated, so this is mainly for me. lol. So my very long week started Wednesday.

Hannah wanted me to try to catch the morning flight which means I had to get up at 4 in the morning to get to KC in time. I saw Monie there, and she's been there since her flight the day before because she couldn't make it. Well they called my name, but because Monie had been there so long I let her go first, so I missed that flight. Then I waited for my original flight at 2:15.... 6 hours later. I missed that one too, and they said that the 5:18 flight was full, so Mom and I went home. 

The next flight was at 7:05 the next morning so I was up at 3 to get there on time. Luckily I made that flight. Just in case anyone reads this I'm not going to go into detail about the wedding because I don't want to accidentally offend someone. Mostly it was fun... but it had it's moments. 

Then I finally got my stuff with Aunt Patty, and got back here with Jana. I tried to move in to my apartment, but the lady who said they would be open was mistaken. So I'm going to move in on Monday. 

Also the employment office was closed so I couldn't take the OST. So yeah, anything that could go wrong did.

But I went to the Orem Library today to surprise Kathryn and convinced her to come to the movies with me and some other people. It was really fun, and I was really excited to see her. It's pretty late so I'm going to try to go to sleep unless these people don't leave :) That would be ok though because they're really cool. Anywho, wish me sleep!

Zeit

I have always been fascinated by time.

It's an amazing thing really.

It heals broken hearts

and open wounds.

It brings new opportunities

and memories.

Yet it also helps us forget the old ones.

It has no beginning

and no end.

It is constant,

and yet it is relative to our perspective.

No one can see it or feel it or hear it.

We can only try to measure it, 

but even then we can only make it up.

It's funny how little we know about time.

Yet no one questions its existence.

You know, maybe sometimes we have to just know something exists.

Maybe we aren't meant to understand everything.

Ha Ha :-} So True!

Girl's in the City.... Uh Oh!

After the bridal shower we went to Monie's. We saved a little extra for ourselves. lol

The next day we went to Kansas City to Union Station to see some stuff there. Hannah wanted to go and her birthday is tomorrow. This was the diner that we ate in.

Whitney and Tiffy... who's not supposed to be in the picture.

Whitney and Tiffy... now Tiffy is supposed to be in the picture.

Monie and Hannah... they asked me to take a picture so I just randomly did it while they weren't paying attention. Hee hee. I'm evil. It's not to bad though.

Me and Tiffy. That's the tie-dyed shirt we made at Monie's. I totally forgot a shirt and so I had to wear this one which is too big. Puh.

Monie is so pregnant! It is very cute though. It's fun to rub her belly.

They stamped all of our hands for the show, so we are pounding it to show them off. Is that how you would say that? It sounds weird. Oh... ps... my hand is the darkest one surprisingly, then going clockwise it's Tiffy, Whitney, Hannah, and Monie.

Gee, I wonder where I got this idea. lol

Monie, me and Tiffy waiting for the show to start.

Hannah went to a 3D show by herself because I ended up buying the last ticket. I gave it to her because she is the only one who really wanted to go.

Monie and Tiffy taking a picture of the WWI museum that was across the street.

I got/had to drive home. It was 5:30 in the afternoon which means it was rush hour. We already had to take a detour to get to the station, so we had trouble figuring out how to get out. Then I found the street we took from I-70, but it was a one-way, so I had to find a way to get back to East 70, so we could get home. We made it home... eventually. But it was stressful!

Hannah's Bridal Shower

I started with the food table because that's what I was in charge of. I am pretty proud. I was pretty good at decorating but I wasn't very good and remembering to refill the trays. Whoops!

Cora and Hannah enjoying some strawberries with chocolate.

Jerica and Leah doing Jello shots. lol I thought  it was hilarious because they are four.

Monie with baby Isaac. Monie put this whole thing together and did a very good job. The whole shower was really fun.

Monie thought it would be fun to have Mocktails for the party. So we had mockaritas, mocktinis, alcohol-free jello shots. And for those who didn't like those she brought beer and light beer (IBC rootbeer and cream soda)

Hannah and me

Sierra, Monie, and Hannah with their Mockaritas.

The first game we played was guess what the bride was wearing. There was nothing interesting to take pictures of so I'm just stating that that was the first game. The second game however did have something interesting to take pictures of. Monie, prior to the shower, asked Daniel (the future groom) several questions. The second game we played involved Hannah trying to answer the questions correctly. For every answer she got right she put in one piece of gum. For a wrong answer she had to put in three. Monie threw in some trick questions too. So it was pretty entertaining. 

Yeah Hannah keep it all in there. It's getting pretty gross!

Ewwwwwww!

The third game we played was ugliest bridesmaid gown. I made a crack about Hannah already finding that one... she hit me. Well each team was given streamers and toilet paper. Here are the outcomes. 

Yellow team's model was Cora Comfort! She's awesome!

Pink team's model was Whitney Bell also one of Hannah's bridesmaids.

Yellow team won, but Pink team got kudos for ugliest headdress :)

Me, Sis. Kelley, and Hannah. I miss Julie... we get to have dinner with her on Friday!
