Amazing Weekend!

This last weekend was amazingly fun!! I am so disappointed with myself that I didn't take any pictures, but I was so busy having a great time, that I didn't think about it much. Basically it came down to everyone wanting to make me happy and distract me after Trevor and I broke-up. (Which basically means that I was spoiled beyond reason.) Here was the break down:

Friday:

At 4, Jeff came and picked me up so that we could go to Salt Lake to have dinner. He said it was my night and we could do anything I wanted. Too bad that Trevor always made me make the decesions too, so I REALLY didn't want to make any tonight. At least Jeff made it easier by making me only pick one out of two. We planned on going to The Cheesecake Factory, but we got a little lost and ended up on the other side of town. Whoops! So instead we went to this new restaurant called Z'Tejas. How perfect for two Texans? It was Tex-Mex food, but very chic at the same time. For a bit of gossip news, we sat in the exact same booth as Barenaked Ladies, 5 minutes before us. How cool?!? Needless to say I felt a little famous for a second. But the food was delicious and Jeff and me had a good time talking about everything and nothing. Well, we eventually asked for directions to The Cheesecake Factory, because he still wanted to get me some. It was jam-packed, so even if we did get there originally I think it would have been a long wait. Good thing they have a little pastry counter for those who just want dessert, so I randomly pointed my finger and got "Chocolate Oreo Mudslide Cheesecake." Oh my goodness!! That is all I can say, it was delicious, spectacular, amazing, best-cheesecake-in-my-life-ever!!!! Well, Jeff had mentioned lots of things that we could do that night, but it was foggy and cold so we decided on a movie--nice and warm, inside. It was only 8 when we got back to Provo and the movie didn't start until 9:35, so we had lots of time to chat and walk around the mall. He is pretty good at picking out clothes I would like; kind of interesting and weird. Anyway, we saw Defiance, which I really liked, and finally at about 1 in the morning, I got home. Overall, I had a really great time and Jeff was a great distractions.

Saturday:
Saturday morning was uneventful. Just the normal, wake up, clean a little, read, other stuff. Our FHE brother, Dan, did end up taking us all to Wal-Mart, which was really nice of him. But my old roommate, Brinai, called me and asked if I wanted to go out for a girl's night. Basically she wanted all the 411 with me and I think to try and cheer me up--not that I needed it THAT badly. Still, I love Brinai and I hadn't talked to her in forever, so I definitely wanted to go. We decided to go to Inkheart, which has Paul Bettany, who I absolutely love in it, so worth it for no other reason then that. But really, it was a nice family movie, kind of like Stardust. Then we went to Spark, a new restaurant/LDS club. It is so much fun!! It is really contemporary in black, white and a pear green color and interesting light fixtures and stuff. Still we got some dinner and sat at this little black table, big enough for two with some of the coolest silverware!! I like it all!! (If you couldn't tell.) The whole point of Spark is that you can get alcohol-type drinks, like mojitos, martinis and fun stuff like that, just without the alcohol. I felt so classy, like I should have been in New York. I got a drink called Ox-Blood, it just sounded so dirty that I had to get it. It had a peculiar taste to it, but I liked it. So Brinai and I chatted for like 2 or 3 hours over drinks (I've always wanted to say that). Now she knows all my crap and I know hers, but it was so fun and we laughed the entire time. Finally I got home at about 11 and I had to go to bed because we had early church.

Sunday:
Okay so nothing spectacular happened on Sunday, but Emily did make Enchiladas and we had a mini-fiesta. We watch Nacho Libre, a first for me. I thought it was okay, I'm just more of a witty, satire-type of person I guess. Still, I got to hang out with the FHE brothers and, like I said, they keep me distracted.

So yeah, what a weekend, huh? Basically I was spoiled beyond all belief. Maybe I should do this whole break-up thing more often....? Just kidding! Still, I'm really doing well and I've realized how great of friends I have. Love you all!

Updates

Well, it has been forever since I last posted anything about myself. It seemed somewhat redundant after seeing everyone at Christmas, but I guess it is once again time to tell you what is going on. For starters, my classes are interesting, but I would not consider them to be my favorite. I start with Economics, luckily I am taking it from the easiest teacher, which means it is still really hard, but I'm enjoying it so far-my teacher is pretty funny. Then I have Accounting 200, again really interesting. I think I might actually enjoy this class, mostly because it is all online and I therefore do not need to physically go to class. History of Creavity, taking into consideration the name, it is actually quite boring, but I blame the teacher, not the subject matter. I have an Advanced English class, "Writing in Literature," which seems like it will kill me, but I will learn a lot about writing. Luckily, the book we are writing on is "Persuasion" by Austen, so I'm pretty much set. Lastly I have the second half of Doctrine and Covenants, so basically I love it. Yeah, overall, I don't hate this semester, but I'm not loving it either.
I am still Ward Prayer Co-Chair in my ward and I have no idea what to do for it anymore. I think I have gotten more and more boring with age. All my fun ideas have been used up and nothing is left it would appear.
Now for the crappy part of my life. Trevor and I are no longer together. It's hard to explain, but it basically comes down to the fact that we aren't supposed to be together, no matter how much WE want it. So, I'm not exactly happy right now, but I'm okay. I'm not mad or angry, I'm just sad that it had to end. So, yeah, that's enough of that. Luckily, my roommates and everyone is wonderful and I am on my way to a full recovery. (That is a joke, by the way.) Anyway, that is my life for right now. It all kind of sucks, especially with Obama now being president, but I have hope and faith in the future and I know everything is going to be okay. I love you all!
