Forts, Caffeine and Photo Shoots: Typical week in the BV Jan 29-Feb 4

Monday for FHE we build a giant blanket fort in my basement, and I mean giant! We brought out all the blankets in the house (which is a lot in our household) and strung them on pipes and pinned them up. It was quite exciting!

Im not entirely sure how it happened, but someone Wednesday night Rachel, Emma, Sarah and I were in my car, blasting sassy songs, on our way to McDonalds where we each got a large soda. For various reasons it was that kind of night. It was so much fun!

While we were in the parking lot of McDonalds I also got the email saying I was hired for EFY as a BC!!!! AHHHHH! Craziness here I come!

I was walking around campus on Thursday and I stumbled upon a giant photoshoot. Quinn has taken up photography and there right in the heart of campus was Colby, Kaipo, and any other soul that walked by, got wrapped into taking photos. I love these guys! I have not laughed that hard in a super long time!

Thursday we had such a fun Relief Society activity! Dinner was made and served to us by the Elders Quorum. They went all out. They were dressed nice and acted like servers. It was a three course meal full of a lot of laughter!

Friday night Ashley came over and we streamed the Volleyball game in our blanket fort. It was quite exciting! Wasn't the best game... but it provided a lot of screaming and yelling at the computer screen. 

Saturday my sickness was getting the better of me. I literally have not stopped coughing. I lied in bed most of the day until somehow I was convinced to go to the honor ball. We had a great time dancing our hearts away!

Sunday I was sitting in Relief Society when my friend Jordan called me! It was the greatest surprise ever! I finished church, rushed home, and called and talked to him for an hour. He was here last spring and it was so nice to hear his voice, advice, and just laugh! What a blessing friends are!

Something we talked about was conversations, like hard conversations. Its more important to just tell someone what you are thinking so you don't compromise the way you live. Jordan told me a story about how one of his housemates when he was here for some reason was mad at him. He had no idea why, but he would walk to weights every morning as his housemate drove. Jordan was like "Why didn't I just say something? I lived like that all semester!" Its sometimes hard to just say what we are thinking and I don't know why that is. But it is important, especially if its someone close to you, to really talk with them. 

Thanks Jordan for the phone call! Sad we missed each other in Utah by a week!!!
