let's call it a weekend

1. anyone have a spare VW Beetle door?
On Friday I took this picture of my adorable roommates eating rice pudding before walking out the door to go to Walmart with Kristin. About 30 seconds later...
this happened. Right outside the parking lot a driver who I'm going to refrain from calling names was parallel parking and not paying ANY attention to cars going by, not even when we honked. He wasn't even sympathetic. He was like, "Oh, I'm really sorry." Sure.
2. you got swatted
But that night we went to the first basketball game and it was way fun.
interesting hat
we're adorable
Final score BYU 75, Long Beach State 65. Afterward we hung out with some friends at our place, ate Cougar Craze ice cream, and watched "The Pursuit of Happiness." Way fun.

3. knitting for the needy
No pictures of this one. We had a little RS breakfast/knitting service project that will continue through December. I'm excited to start knitting again. It was fun to socialize a little and I found out that this adorable English girl in our presidency got her mission call to Norway!
4. bridal shower
My friend Linda's bridal shower was way fun despite me not knowing anyone else there. The delicious spread (which I ate too much of) helped.


She got some fun gifts, including this cute egg timer. She said, "What's its name? Does it have a name?" That's Linda for ya. :)
Beautiful pans and a new handmixer. She also got a mortar and pestle. (I thought of you, Kaci.) I was a little jealous. I guess I need to get married and then people will give me really exciting kitchen gadgets.
Linda was doing an internship in Belgium when I was in Paris and spent General Conference weekend with me when Jacqueline was gone. We had lots of fun.


5. wardness
We had a ward service auction, money to be used for Christmas gifts for needy families. The auctioneer was none other than John Sigety. Joe's in our ward too.
This guy brought a sign with his name on one side and his roommate's on the other so he could bid for both of them. I bought a spontaneous trip to Coldstone with him. I'm excited.

6. date
No pictures of this, either. It was totally last-minute because Nichelle wanted to do something and called her friend who said hey, we're going to Laugh Out Loud (campus improv comedy). So we went with him and his roommate. It was very...interesting. But fun.

7. more wardness
We had ward conference today. Kristin and I sung with the choir. We heard from our bishop and stake president, who is FANtastic. I took Book of Mormon from him two years ago and he remembered me! He came and talked to me after sacrament meeting. After church a ton of home teaching and visiting teaching happened because everyone realized today I guess that a bunch of people will be gone next week. We're pretty good friends with Nichelle's home teachers who were here for almost 2 hours and ended up "teaching" all of us. They're great. And we stopped by a friend's mission call "revealing" party (Albuquerque New Mexico). And I made muddy buddies with Natalie and went to the MTC referral center with Nichelle and a few other girls and saw a boy...I mean elder...from my ward in France! What a great Sunday. I don't want Monday to come.
