So this last weekend we were suppose to go up to Bear Lake, but when people woke up and saw a lack of sun, it was decided against. So i got someone to cover the last two hours of my shift and it became unnecessary. Oh well, I came up with other things to do.
Such as, when i was driving home I got a call from Mike and he said that i should come over; he had something to show me. So I get there and guess what they had sitting in their front room? A FREAKING PIANO!!!!!!!!!! He bought it at a garage sale for $25! And before you ask, yes it does work. Its actually in pretty good condition. It also came with an invitation to play any time that i want and they are home. Then we are trying to decide what to do for the rest of the day since Bear Lake fell through, I say that i'm going to go home and shower. (i was still in my work uniform, and after being at Mcdonald's, I like to shower and get the fry grease feel gone.) So i go home, shower, get dressed and start to head back over when I see that my roommate Rylee is home. So i tell her that she is going to come play with us today. I get her to Mike and Justin's and she sees the piano. (needless to say her piano music and half of mine is now just kind of living at Mikes and Justins.) So then we start planning things for the day. We decide to go to Macy's and get free samples (they were having chicken things and our friend was working there and told us to come get some) And then we bought ice cream and walked around the store. Then we went back to there place and there friend Johanna comes over and we want to watch a movie, but there place is really hot (they don't have air conditioning) So she invites us to her place (which has air conditioning.) So we watched a movie and went back to their place and made dinner. While they were making dinner, me and Rylee made a grocery run to buy things for smoothies. (don't leave me alone in the fruit section of a store. I'll spend more money than I should.) So we get back, eat dinner. Play piano and instead of smoothies we go to a dollar movie. Prince of Persia, GREAT MOVIE!!
Then we go home after. The next day is Sunday and I ACTUALLY HAD HOME TEACHERS!!!! for the first time in like a year. Then me and Rylee take our book shelf thing over to Mike and Justins so that people who have been leaving music there can have somewhere to put it. And do we end up leaving? Of course not. Instead we made smoothies (and when I say we I mean Mike) And they were good. Then instead of going to ward choir I stayed at their apartment because they were having mens choir practice. (so naturally i have to stay) Then i went to their ward prayer and Rylee and Justin had a moment. You had to be there... or just look at the pictures that we took of their moment... then we headed back to their place. (yes, i do pretty much live there.) except me and rylee make a quick trip home to pick up Megan and show her the piano. And we get there and we all start chatting and it start turning into a pity party, and I decided "no, this is not ok" so i say that we're done and we're going to try something me and some of my roommates tried last year. Everyone is going to go around the room and say something they like about everyone else.
It worked. It put everyone in a better mood, so by the time we all start getting tired we start doing weird funny things instead of getting more mopey. And it leaves everyone on a good note.
Rylee, total sweetheart. Spiritual, friendly. Basically good person. Megan, always so happy. Even when she is grumpy she will dance in circle down a grocery isle. And a great R.A. Mike, music abilities aside (because they are a given) he is a good guy, and there aren't enough good guys in the world. he also cares about people being happy and is a good listener. Justin, computer skills aside. He is just a genuinely good guy. And patient. and a great friend.
there were so many things that I wanted to say about all of them, but i had to go first to make sure that it actually got started so, i had to give everyone else time. But if your ever in a pity party mood, just try it. Also, if any of you want me to tell you something i like about you, just ask. Everyone needs a pick me up every now and then.
After that we headed home (considering it was like one in the morning) And i went to bed before both my roommates because i was tired.
But yeah, its amazing how much happens in a weekend. And friends are pretty much amazing thins to have and I'm grateful for all of mine. :)
