Homecoming!!

I am finally going to blog about my fun homecoming experience!! So here goes..... I was asked by one of my good friends named Brian. He asked me by toilet papering my house and then having me unscramble the letters of his name, which were on individual pieces of toilet paper.
I answered him by freezing a message inside of four 1- gallon jugs that said "Maybe you should look under your mattress." He had to thaw/ smash the ice to get the answer, but the answer was on a candy bar under his mattress the whole time. It was half the fun getting asked and answering him back hahaha. Not really, but it was fun. So instead of having one day date on Saturday and then going to the dance on Saturday night, the boys in our group decided that we would have three dates all together: one on Friday night, one on Saturday in the day, and then go to dinner and the dance on Saturday night. For our Friday night date we went to a BYU fireside that was held at the AF tabernacle (Bronco Mendenhall and some of the other BYU football players spoke) and then we went to JCW's for shakes afterwords. Yummmm!!!! Then for our Saturday day date we went over to one of the boy's houses and watched the BYU game :) (can you tell that all of these boys are true blue BYU fans???) I was a little nervous, especially since when it comes to football I am not the most knowledgeable, but it was actually a lot of fun. I got home at about 3:45 and Lindsey and Mica went to work on making me look like a princess!! They succeeded and I was done primping just in time for Brian to pick me up at 6:30 to go to dinner. Thanks to Mica and Lindsey for helping out, I felt so pretty!!! Here are my pictures, even though they did not turn out as good as I had hoped:

This is me in my dress waiting for him to come

The boys surprised us by getting us corsages

Brian and me

We went to dinner at one of the boy's grandparent's house and had a delicious 3-course meal. At about 9:00 we headed to the dance and had a blast being crazy and wearing ourselves out. All in all, it was a very fun date, and I couldn't have asked for a better Homecoming experience.

A Recap of My Week

I have realized over the last week that I am kind of a boring person. Not in a bad way, I just don't have very interesting things to write about. Therefore, I am writing about my very eventful week (I couldn't think of anything better!) Well, the drivers ed people finally called me, so I started out the week leaving for the high school at 5:45 a.m. in order to do the 'road practice' with the advisers. I got there and waited.... and waited... only for them to tell me that the other two kids had slacked off (not shown up) and I would have to go home and come back on Tuesday and Wednesday mornings, same time :-( Let's just say that my parents and I were slightly bugged since I should have been done with this weeks ago. But oh well. The rest of Monday was fairly normal, I sat through classes, doodled on paper when I was bored, and thought about boys, well....mostly one boy :-) On Tuesday I had the REAL road practice, and then I headed off to take my first AP Calculus test of the year (yuck!) Here it is: It actually went very well, and I got a 90%!!! After school I went with my mom and my siblings and I purchased my Homecoming dress. (isn't it cute??) On Wednesday I took the road TEST and I passed!!! That means that as soon as I finish my personal progress, I can go to the DMV and pick up my license!! I am hoping to get it in a week or two and I am so excited. Thursday was boring, nothing spectacular happened. Friday was a lot of fun because Ammon, me, Hoyt, and Jessica hung out and watched 'Whats Up Doc?' and talked and laughed till 11:30 at night. What would I do without Friday nights??? Saturday was good as well because my family went over to our neighbors' house to watch the BYU game and eat junk. (well, not Ammon hee hee, he got to eat veggies) By the way Happy Birthday to Lindsey!!!!!! I LOVE YOU LINDS!! Anyway, sorry this is such a random post I will try to get a more exciting one up soon!!

Summer Memories
