This blog is for her. This post especially (after an email hinting at how long it's been) is for her. I don't have much to write. I guess I kinda do. I will start I dunno with every aspect of my life as of lately.
Apartments... I love my new apartment. I love my new room. I love my new roommates. I especially love my new location. It's not as close as Harris was. But, it's nice and it's the sun. I loved sitting in the sun on Sunday and I loved going to the park with some of my super awesome friends.
Wards... I love my new Ward. I love everything about my new ward. I love the people. I love my Bishop especially. I love my calling. I just love it. I am upset/sad it didn't happen last semester. But, I guess there are people I would've been even sadder about not meeting. Like Nikole. And Lewis. And Jenna.
Nikole. She doesn't live here technically. But, lately she always comes over. And you know what. It's not like a weird she comes over. It's like... an expected? Like she belongs here. She meshes so well with our new friends that it's like it was meant to be. She is truly missed when she is not here and truly loved when she is around with me. We've taken up tanning together. And even if it is only like 30 min a day. Sometimes, they are the best/funnest/funniest 30 minutes of my day.
Lewis. I don't see much of him anymore. Which is sad. But, he got his mission call to Houston, Texas East Mission... Spanish speaking. And he was so excited. And i'm so proud of him. Weird how I am proud of these boys. I love them. And watching their excitement as they open their calls.
Jenna. My new roommate. Well, not NEW new. But new this semester. We have fun cleaning, laughing, joking, reading and cooking. It always seems to be some sort of adventure. Whether it's inventing a new recipe or wandering around at odd hours in the morning it really is always fun.
School. Or stress as I like to call it. The social life is wonderful. It really is. The school work is stressing me out. I think it's because my day is so spread out. Last semester I had my classes one right after the other. This semester I have far too many breaks in which it's near impossible to get anything done... because by the time I've sat down to work.... I only have 30 min before I have to get up for class. I usually call my Mom or Grams instead.
Let's see... Chase. Oh how I truly love him. He has been one of my biggest blessing both semesters. He is my best friend. I feel like I really can tell him anything. And while he's willing to joke around about it... he's there when I need him. I have gotten closer with him this past year than in any year previous. He is a shining example to me. I love his humor. I love our car rides. I love his kindness and his sweet smile. I love that ALL (and I mean all) of my friends love him. Really. Will, Jenna and Nikole are always telling me how much they like him. And really... what's not to like? He is the epitome of an awesome guy. The definition of a great friend. He can do very little wrong in my eyes. Both good and bad. No one laughs at his jokes like I do. And no one appreciates his witty texts and lunch time conversations like me. I love him. I will miss him this summer that I can promise.
I guess it only seems fair to include Will in this post. Will... how do you describe him? He is sweet, cute, funny, willing to do kind things, thoughtful, shy with his own hint of awkward that somehow works for him, one of the best listeners i've ever met and really a very good guy. He says things (to my face... which in this day and age is a BIG deal... thank you technology) that really and truly no other guy has said. I know how it feels to get a sweet or cute text... but when he says it... it's sincere. Today... he walked down to Provo Rec Center to meet me after my lifeguarding class at 9pm. Just to walk me home. He smiles when I talk about my family and I know I talk about them too much. And he remembers what I say about them. He asks about them. And carries conversations as if he already knows them. Because I guess... he kind of does. He is such an interesting guy... I'm just sad I got to know him this semester because it would definitely take more than a semester to figure him out. In a very good way.
Luke. Luke is like the nicest guy. He is big and buff but he really is super sweet. He jokes around a lot and has this way of talking about things that are so elementary but are so profound. If that makes sense. Like he has so many good questions that lead to such good conversations. He is such a good guy. I really love talking and being around him... because he is genuinely a really good and interesting guy.
Ben is a goof head. But Ben is sweet too. How Will, Luke and Ben all became roommates is more than just chance/coincidence. Ben is an awesome guy. He is fun and funny and puts up with me when I need help with my stats. Ha. He is patient and just an overall really really amazing guy.
Finally... Ana. My next door neighbor. The girl who is so cute and so easy to talk to. The girl I've gotten so close with in such a short amount of time. She is crazy. She is fun to be around. She is there when you need someone to listen and she is kind and quick to love. I really like Ana and consider myself lucky to have met her. Really.
I love this semester. I love these people. I love my ward. I love my Family. I love my FHE brothers. I love this semester. Things have turned around. And it seems too late. It seems like this is the last semester I wanted. It's not fair it happened so late. And it's not fair that it happened. I have had a semester for the books. And I owe it not to myself. I owe it to the people I've met. And the influence/example they've set for me. I love you guys. All of you.
And now for the best part... the pictures. :) The majority of these are taken from Sunday's rendezvous in the beautifully wonderful sunshine. Oh how I love good weather.

A good way to end right? Such a beautiful and pretty day. Life is good.
All I can say is, you're a nut! Someone just asked me, if you were still feeling homesick, and I said "no, she is having a much better 2nd semester!" I am glad to hear that you are so happy and have such wonderful friends and a great ward.
ReplyDeleteIt would appear that you guys were having fun doing some rather "odd" tricks on the playground! I am so happy that you are so anxious to accomodate your kind, loving, super mother. If you would just write a little bit each day then your blogs wouldn't have to be sooo long and I wouldn't have to give you gentle reminders!!!!!
And, I definitely think I need to meet Will.
:) i love you
ReplyDeleteand your pics are so silly.
