like, really late. like 2 am late. but i'm wide awake. and listening to enya. love her. so i thought i'd give a quick update of my life [since i've been neglectful lately].
claire and i in dc on 4 july 2007. fuuuuun year!!
matching dresses { / for claire it was like a shirt. she's tall.}
let's go back, claire.
1. i've been really busy.
classes.
homework.
classroom set up: trace, chalk, cut. repeat. {but they're turning out super cute. pictures will come once they're up.}
salt lake tuesday and thursday for stats. boo.
a little social life.
2. i took the weekend off. crazy, i know.
friday after classes i just relaxed. then my friend and i hit the pool and met some morons. yes, morons. there's a story for ya! but it's kelly's story. and it is hilarious. {we have found the epitome of what many call a "tool."}
friday night i went to the real salt lake game. robbie findley was back [he was on the world cup team, in case you didn't know]. it was so fun. and i love watching soccer. why haven't i gone to one of these before? probably for the same reason i haven't done a lot of fun things in utah. stresssssss. and school. which causes the stresssss. oh and i wasn't aware that the real were the mls cup champions last year until my friend pointed it out.
and then, to top off a great win, there were fireworks after the game. i loooove fireworks! and we got to go on the field to watch them. it was so fun laying on the nice field, looking up at the sky.
saturday morning i went for a nice loooong run. 14. maintenance. it was beautiful.
saturday afternoon i gave mock tours of ellis island at the freedom festival with a friend. we made a great tour guide team.
this is me at ellis island. 2007. same trip with claire.
this is claire and i at the statue of liberty.
saturday evening i relaxed and waited for katie to get home from work. ok, i cleaned while i waited--kitchen, living room, bedroom. didn't quite make it through the whole bathroom, but that's ok because i do maintenance cleaning on that like every other day.
saturday night we got some frozen yogurt. now, we tried going to golden spoon [looove, but there aren't any around here! closest is like 3.5 hours away in cedar city!]. i saw a golden spoon in orem on my run. but it isn't open yet--pretty soon though! and so we went somewhere else. i hadn't had frozen yogurt in awhile. remember when i used to get it once or twice a week!? ice cream / frozen yogurt is my weakness. which is why you will never see a carton of ice cream in my freezer!
and then we went to the Y. we were going to hike it. but we got there too late because traffic was craaaazy in provo! carrie underwood sang at the stadium of fire [wish i bought tickets!]. provo loves the 4th, which was celebrated on saturday the 3rd. anyway, we were going to hike past the Y since we knew that 2342 other people had the same idea, but since we got there too late and parked in a secret spot in a neighborhood, we ended up hiking through some bushes/brush to this secluded spot below the Y and watched the fireworks go off from the stadium. we could see the whole valley and a bunch of fireworks all over. it was so fun. then traffic was horrendous in every direction and it took us quite awhile to get to the freeway to drop off a friend. oh well!
so it was super fun.
and tomorrow morning is the parade. as much as i'd love to go, i will be waking up at approximately 8.30am and then going running at 9am, parade time. soooo i'll miss it. and then i have loads of coloring to do and a stats exam to prep for so i can take it tuesday and homework to do.
i love my life. you know, that may have sounded sarcastic but i really do. i am so incredibly blessed. i live in a beautiful place. i have love and support and encouragement from my family at home. my mom and i talk everyday. i have things--a nice apartment, a nice car, food, clothes, a bed, blankets, a laptop, a phone, and so much more. so many things that most of the world doesn't have. i am going to an amazing university. i have this amazing opportunity to do this internship and have my own 2nd grade class soon. i have friends that support me and care for me and help me. and we all know how much help i need right now. [and if you want to help me, please, please, please. cut, color, glue, staple fabric to a bulletin board, anything.]
and most importantly, i am a member of a Church that i know to be true. and i have a Father in Heaven that knows me and loves me and blesses me. and i am so grateful. and so blessed.
and i live in a free country. God Bless America. HAPPY 4th!
