Last night was the first YSA dance of the semester! it was super fun! i love dances where people actually dance! And meeting new people is always way fun too! Church and Institute are the only places i really find people my age, I'm taking more advanced classes and my house mates are all older so the people they hang out with are all older as well.
anyway! it was really fun!
and afterwards we snuck into best western's pool! that was my favorite! there was a hot tub and a really nice (not pond) pool! we just couldn't be very loud, which was even more entertaining because everyone was jumping into the pool funny to keep their splash smaller, as well as everyone was running around speaking really quietly and every once in a while someone would laugh and everyone would like duck or shoot a dirty look around the pool. which made me giggle so i'd have to cover my mouth!
it was a good night! I'm excited for Devotional on Tuesday!

leaky roof
the phrase "it doesnt rain in Thatcher" was said a billion times last week. and then what do you know? it rained. hard. for two days straight. it was amazing and now everything smells so much fresher! the only down fall to all that rain was mine and Blythe's ceiling. it started to sag kind of funny on the first day and then the second day BOOM. it came through. then Blythe went around the room popping the little bulges so it would just come out!
we've emailed the land lord and talked to one of our friends that does roofs for a living. and although Nancy (the land lady) hasn't responded Josh (the roofer) says we need to keep trying before it end up molding!
sounds lovely huh? i just want to stop stepping in puddles, there are a ton in our room!

care package
so i went to the mail box this afternoon and found a really really cool package from my mom! It was full of soup (which was perfect timing because today has been cold and rainy and basically a soup kind of day!)
it also had all my mail and a very cute shirt!
i love my mom!(:
holding in farts
living with other girls that are only slightly gross. its hard! everyone talks about "that one time" when Melissa pooped and the whole house smelt! so this is the trick i learned, SHOWER. fart in the shower.
i realize that this is probably the grossest post of all time, but its so hard to be secretly as gross as i am!

your mom goes to college
i started school today! i love it! I'm taking some cool classes-
Psych 101
Gen Chem (with my room mate!- so were splitting the cost of the book! woot!)
Gen Bio
Eng 101
Institute
Physicals (which is basically a gym membership and i have to go in for about 2 hours a week)
even though it wasn't my first day of college, and I'm not in grade school, i woke up with first day gitters.
i picked out a cute outfit and did my hair cute and i stayed awake in every single class!
for lunch the institute made us food! i guess its a way of getting people in there and having them actually sign up for classes! although. i must say. their actual "class" hours are sooo wanky. and i have classes during that time! so I'm going to go to Seminar and Devotional because that is at a normal time. hopefully next semester ill work out my classes better! I'm excited though! on Tuesdays for devotional its church dress! so ill just look super classy for Chem Lab!
and tonight is Family Home Evening! (if you're my uncle Bryan it's family home ev-uh-ning or if you're baby Paige it's family home-nevning)
i got really sick on Sunday so i'm excited to go and hang out with some church kids! i missed my Mormon interactions. after a while those become necessary.

weekend date
i went on a crazy date this weekend and in case you were wondering- that is why i haven't updated anything!
so this date was out in Wilcox (about 45 min. from my house).
there was a buuuunch of couples all at my friend Josh's Moms house. so we drive out there, make dinner and watch a movie! and the boys go and sleep outside while the girls spent the night inside! (this was the strangest date i have ever been on) but it was way fun! there was tons of girly stuff going on like talking about the boys outside and painting our nails and stuff!
in the morning we got all pretty- which took forever! i thought it would take a while but holey moley. it took forever. eventually we all got together and set up a picnic and hit the road again. i cant remember the name of the mountain we went to but it was all grey and misty outside! compared to the broken AC and heat of thatcher it was heaven up there! so we hiked around and ate yummy food. there was a little stream that a bunch of us went and climbed around in (mostly the couples that didn't involve over done up or super prissy girls) it was a blast! and everyone was super awesome and fun to hang out with!
at the end of the night we went to a little farm in Wilcox where a bunch of people bought fresh goats milk! i thought it tasted gross but most of them liked it! we fed piggies and goats and there were plenty of little cats and dogs following us around. i love farms. my dog came from a farm. shes pretty cool.
anyway! after that we all packed up and came home! it was really really fun! i don't think ill do it again, just because it was a little weird to stay at a strangers house with people i barely knew but hey! gotta try it before you say you don't like it, right?

Moped Story.
so today im out running around, just getting stuff done! library, post office, and other small trips were on that list.
on my way home im at a stop light and it turns green so i rev my engine and try to pull across the intersection. and the bike putts out. it would not go. so i pulled it off to the side as the light goes green again. im looking at it and trying to figure out what the problem is. i pulled the breaks and pushed start so i could hear the engine and it starts! so im like sweet ill just drive it back over to where im supposed to be in the intersection.
the bike takes off. like a mad man, im holding on and trying to put my legs up so i can at least control it. that doesn't work, instead i end up getting dragged. and finally the bike just falls on top of me.
> mind you, my light is red still, so there is traffic that could kill me so fast.
so im lying there under my bike and at some point in the take off process i lost a shoe. so i get the bike up- wheel it back to where im supposed to be. park it. wait until traffic is clear. run for my shoe. and run back for the bike.
i got it running again after that and made it home safe and sound. minus a few scrapes to the both of us and some bruises on me. we're alright.
but the best part of this story was the van next to me in the intersection- where the parents looked on in horror (and did nothing at all) the children in the back were cheering me on and i'm certain one of them was pointing and laughing as i put my shoe back on.
