Time flies when your having fun.

So I figured I'd better write something before even more happens that i feel the need to write about. These last two weeks have been completely crazy and i have know idea where the time has gone. Its amazing how much faster time goes when you are constantly running around.
Last week I was able to go over to the University two days in a row and help put the new choir room together, I would like to submit that it looks AMAZING!!!!! (and a little bit like a space ship...) It was fun doing some heavy lifting for a few days. I have discovered that I absolutely love hard work, especially lifting heavy things and organizing and such. But by the time Friday came I could no longer move. Wednesday I used mostly my upper body and Thursday I used mostly my legs for the lifting which equals really sore Mandy.
Also on Thursday, as soon as I was done finishing helping with the choir room I went over to Embers so we could make cookie dough for Mikes birthday the next day. Which was great fun, also because I got my paycheck and was no longer broke. (I had been living on 21 cents for almost two weeks. I got in trouble when my family found out... :] )
Friday I worked and then after work went straight into planning for Mikes attemptive surprise thing for his birthday (needless to say it basically didn't work.) When we went to go storm his apartment with cookies and balloons Me and Megan were the ones surprised by Julian and Wilson being there. Which was an awesome surprise, I would like to add. After playing with them for a little bit I went grocery shopping...you know your a college student when going grocery shopping is fun and something you look forward too. and Then i got to go home and do laundry. (i was completely out of clothes.) And it was one of the most wonderful things of my life. Just to have a night to sit at home, do laundry and read "Mormon bachelor pad" (its a blog)
So Saturday I got up at the lovely hour of 5 am so that I could be on the road by six to go south. My little sister was going to be in town and Justin being the amazing person he is agreed to take my little sisters senior pictures. And I would like to submit that they are INCREDIBLE!!!!!!! What was fun for me (besides seeing my little sister) was seeing my best friend Dani again. Its the first time in I don't know how long that we have hung out. I miss her tons and it was fun to see her again.
After taking pictures we went to lunch at Rumbi island Grill which was also amazing. And then I took Justin back to his place in Sandy. I then had time to kill before i headed up to Layton to one of my other best friends bridal shower. So i called my old roommate Alli hoping to see her while i was down in Salt Lake Valley, unfortunately she wasn't available so I went over to my other old roommates house for a little while then headed up to Layton, getting sufficiently lost on the way.
Then was the bridal shower, which was great fun. And i would like to submit that i had the best gag gift (at least mine got the most laughs :])
I then headed up to Tremonton because I had to drop some stuff off at my grandma's and pick up some other things. By this time i was completely exhausted and running completely on fumes. I was so tired I actually missed the exit for my grandmas...which i have never done before. Its ok though, i notice that i missed the exit before I got to Idaho (I actually noticed in time to take a different exit to her house) I didn't stay long at grandmas because i was starting to crash. But i found out that Justin was coming back up to Logan that night and would actually be back in Logan before me. So before I went home I went over to his place to see the pictures. (which were amazing) I then went home and crashed. Unconscious.
I woke up the next morning and I had my friend James farewell, which was way cool (and the first farewell I've ever actually gone to) I unfortunately couldn't get my whole shift covered so i did have to go into work for a few hours. Afterwards i went back over to Mike and Justins (we stopped by right after the farewell because they left their scriptures at James house) And Mike, Shannon, heather and .....oh i know i know shannons sisters name...I've met her twice and I still don't remember...i think it was dana? (i met them that night...minus Shannon who i met a few weeks earlier) and me went down to first dam to play in the tunnel. (and when i say play, i mean like guitar. And sing. the acoustics are way cool.) And then we fed the ducks which was way fun.
Monday I had a glorious shift of seven very long hours. And then I went over to Embers because she wanted to curl my hair. I then came home and started cleaning my room. (which i got about halfway done)
Tuesday I got up bright and early for a seven and a half hour shift. and then back home. Ending up at Mike and Justins to get the CD to Justin to put Rachels pictures on to send to Mom and Dad. We then ended up at a game night which was tons of fun. Wednesday I had my fun five hours shift (but then i didn't have to work the rest of the week) And immediatly after that i came home and started making a chicken. I would also like to add that whoever cleaned that chicken failed at their job. I had more feathers in that chicken then any other chicken i've cleaned in my life.
the point of the chicken was that we were having a nice sit down dinner together (rylee has wanted to ever since she found out i had some sets of china) SO we made chieck, and roast veggies and a salad and fruit salad. And it was way good. At this dinner was me, Rylee, Megan, Mike, Justin, Chris and Rylee's little sister Landry. Afterwards I was going to go dancing but i slightly accidently got ditched by Mike. So i went and chilled with Justin and Ryan. And it was great fun.
Thursday I had nothing, that is I had nothing planned. I took the table back that i borrowed from Michael and Sarah (my...i think he's my second cousin. they live about five minutes away and take very good care of me) Anyway took the table back they let me borrow for our dinner. They have a family reunion this weekend and Sarah was trying to get the house cleaned, I had nothing planned so I stayed to help clean the house. WHich was great fun, I love their kids. Then I ended up hanging out with Justin (yes...i do basically live at their apartment and sleep at mine) I went home around midnight with every intention of going to bed...
But then life happened. We were all starting to settle down for the night and my roommate started feeling very uneasy and very unsafe. So we shut all the windows, checked all the doors and had a roommate prayer together with our other roommate. But for whatever reason she couldn't shake off the feeling. So she said another prayer and started reading her scriptures and nothing was working (by this time its about two in the morning) She decided that she wanted a blessing and then she asked if I could take her to the hospital.(a few days ago we found this nasty bruise on her back that no one knows where came from and she felt like she needed to get it looked at and it couldn't wait.) So we call Justin at 2 in the morning and ask if he can give Rylee a blessing (I seriously have the best guy friends in the world) He says of course and so we drive over and after that me and her head to the ER (the only medical place open at three in the morning) Where I sit in the waiting room for 2...maybe 2 and a half hours. While she gets looked at. Thank goodness it was nothing serious, but if we hadn't gone in it could have turned into something serious. So at five in the morning we head home with a quick side trip to a gas station so i could buy her some hot chocolate. And then i slept until 11:30am.
Then the rest of yesterday i cleaned my room and hung out with Justin. We watched a movie called "the island" not a bad movie.
And now i'm trying to get my Sunday shift covered (yet again) because i apparently need to talk to my manager again about please don't schedule me on Sunday (i've been scheduled for the last four) But I honestly am loving life lately, and soon school is going to start again which will be very exciting. I'm excited to see all my friends who move back up. So yeah, thats been my life the last two weeks.
