My Crazy Beautiful Life

Things are going really great! I'm really getting into the swing of college and adjusting really well. I feel better and better about being here everyday. It feels normal. I have had an eventful last few days. We had a 4 day weekend which was fantastic. Out here in Provo Pioneer Day is an actual holiday...that is new and kinda weird for me. But if I get school off for it then I'm not complaining. Saturday night I went to a Bees game. The Bees are the triple A affiliate team to the Angles. They play in Salt Lake. So we went up there to watch the game. They were playing a team from Tacoma and I'm sorry to break it to everyone in Washington but they got killed. The Bees destroyed them. The Bees scored 10 runs in just the first inning. I felt bad for the Tacoma team! After the game there was a firework show and it was great. It was right up there with Stadium of Fire which is saying something.

Sunday we got up and went to church. Pretty uneventful. I went to Tyson's for Sunday dinner. That's sort of becoming a routine now :) and I'm perfectly OK with that. We went to their friend's house later that night and did some more fireworks. Fireworks are big here in Utah and not just on the 4th and 24th. They are legal so I hear fireworks set off pretty much every night. That was super fun. Later that night/morning me and Jessica did something pretty awesome that I'm surprised I actually did cause we all know that I need my sleep and I'm not really one to stay up super late but I did. We went to Deny's at midnight....because it's not Sunday anymore ;) that was pretty fun. There were actually a lot of people there at midnight which was surprising.

Monday morning we got up bright and early. That was not very fun after being up so late the night before. We were going to hike the Y so we had to get up and go before it got too hot. In case you don't know the Y is a huge Y that is up on the side of a mountain above the BYU campus. If you look at my pictures of Facebook you will see it. The hike was crazy!! It was so fun at the same time though. It's a really steep hike. It's pretty much straight up the whole way. I was sucking wind the whole time!! I thought that I was used to the altitude but man oh man I'm not. Well I'm used to it down here in the valley but up there..goodness!! You can reallly tell a difference. The air was noticeably thinner. I was so glad that I did it. It's one of those things that you have to do while you're going to BYU. There were a lot of people there too because of Pioneer Day.

Now the best part! Monday night I went to the Days of 47 rodeo!! It was one of the best things of my entire life. I had so much fun. I love horses and that kind of thing...which sometimes surprises people. They had single man roping and team roping along with barrel racing and bull riding and so much more! It was a blast. It's one of those things that has been on my list of things to do sometime in my life. I loved it! My grandpa wants me to be a barrel racer it looks dang fun!!

Today I went to my classes. My music class was canceled so I got out earlier than I normally do which was great. I did my workout then came home. We needed toilet paper (which has it's own story that's coming later) and I needed cereal so I walked over to the creamery and picked those things up. As I was walking over there I saw these guys dumping boxes into the dumpster. I instantly had a brilliant thought. I need boxes for the end of the term when I have to box all my stuff up. So after I picked up what I needed at the creamery I dumpster dived for a box! I'm such a pro!!! I was really proud of myself :)

Anyway now the TP story. On Saturday we ran out of TP so me and Jessica went and got a pack that had 4 rolls in it. We figured that would last us AT LEAST two weeks. This morning I got into the bathroom...ALL OF THE TP IS GONE!!! How the heck did we use 4 rolls of TP in a day and half?! I don't understand how that happened. I know that I didn't use a whole roll bymyself. So that's why I had to get TP today. I got a pack of 6 rolls...hopefully that lasts us but who knows...

So that's my last few days! I hope all is good! :)
