i am hiawatha: I have a rendezvous with Starcommand.....

Pokemon!
Well, this week was great. Margo left on Thursday, which left me all of Friday by myself. It was a super rainy, gloomy day and we didn't actually do anything but play in the house. Lucy and I ate candy and danced around to a "candy girl" song that she made up herself. Good times :)........

On Saturday, Jess, Emily and Spencer came. Emily had a dance performance that night so they decided to come over before. Trey and I went with them over to Rocky's for his birthday party. (Lucy wouldn't come... :(. ) Wesley and Jamie also came for the party. These are all pictures of the party as I am sure you will notice :). It was a Pokemon party! Wow :). Crazy. Rocky is awesome. They had Cheesecake and Red Velvet Cake. Both were SUPER good. Also, they had Whole Milk! It's been a while since I've had the real stuff. We only have Rice Milk over here :). I can't complain though. I should be grateful though. If I were at their house, I would have gained 10 lbs. by now......haha. It happened last time and it can happen again!

awesome game.

After the party Brittani, Emily, Trey and I came back home wish some Sonic Slushies for Tanya :). Justin and Marie were there with their new baby, Nora. She was so cute! Wesley and Jamie came over later and then Jess and Spencer brought over some Pizza for dinner. It was surprisingly good. Moto Pizza. It's only $5, but is 20 times better than Little Caesars! Believe it! We all agreed.

Love them! Caitlyn, where ARE you???

Brittani put Emily's hair up for her dance performance, and then after they left, Brittani and I headed over to her house. Tanya and Travis encouraged me to go spend the night and then go to the Singles Ward with Brittani. So I went. The only reason I agreed is because Brittani was giving a talk. Support.... you know?....... I love going over to their house. It's like a second home. I love their family. It feels like I never left! But anyway.... spent the night, went to church,..... almost died. Honestly, I know how strong my hate is for Singles Wards, but I don't even think this was me talking myself into it being awful. First of all, FIRST THING..... this poor, sweet spirit come up to us and says, "Look what I found!
while holding up an orange golf ball and a ziplock back with a salt shaker inside. Then she just kept going on about how it was SO funny that she would find THOSE instead of a Crayon or something. I am sure everyone knows someone like this. The kind that talk to you, and then KEEP talking to you... about who knows what? Alright... so that was just a sample. I also got asked to say the closing prayer in sacrament meeting, and was announced as "Lindsay Waller"..... who even knows?...... BUT.... Brittani gave a GREAT talk! I am so proud. That is a long time to talk, and she did great! It was about how sometimes in our lives, there are moments where we feel so much guidance and help, whereas other times we kind of feel a little alone. Even when we are doing all the same good things we were before. Sometimes it is a tool the lord uses to strengthen our faith and trust, and even ourselves. She used the brother of Jared as an example. With the stones, you know? The Lord made him figure it out for himself first. Anyway, it was really good. Now, this next confession, I may as well just get out there. Judge me if you wish. I couldn't take anymore after Sacrament, so I asked Brittani if we could just leave (pretending it was a joke... heehee....) and she said yes...! So we did. She drove me all around and showed me all the tricks of getting around. I feel much more comfortable. I think my time was well spent :).... even though it probably wasn't the BEST ever.....

honestly, he is so cute. No one can deny it....

Well, that pretty much is everything interesting. I am home again, and we have a busy week ahead of us. Wish me luck...... :)
