I was almost late to seminary graduation. I know this doesn't seem like a big deal, because it's seminary graduation....but I really hate being late for anything church-related that isn't actually seminary. Being late for that early-morning spiritual enlightenment has never really upset me, since I was literally late almost every single day last year....but the feeling of walking into the chapel late is so completely brutal :P

Luckily I wasn't late, and it was only awkward in the normal ways that a seminary graduation can be awkward. Which are, of course, a lot. It was still nice though :) I got a little booklet with my name, and some fancy signatures, and of course, I saw these shoes:

A girl in my stake, Rachel, is the proud owner of these orchid flower-adorned lovelies. I almost died when I saw them, because I genuinely feel that they are that perfect. I kind of fell in love :)

Speaking of Miss Rachel, she sang a song tonight at the commencement, and it was LOVELY! I didn't know she could sing, but it was so spiritual and beautiful...I was amazed and pleasantly surprised!

Also no big deal, Rachel and I are in the same dorm fall term at BYU! Exciting much? Creamery runs will be in order <3

And on to Wayne Garcia....

Yesterday my dad took me here:

To see the Timbers play the Colorado Rapids. So insanely and amazingly fun! I had never been to any kind of sports event, because to be honest, sports are NOT MY THING. But I thought it sounded fun, and when my dad asked me, I was game. We have a neighbor with season tickets, and apparently my dad worked something out, cause there we were! So great you guys :)

And then my dad tells me that TV news personality, Wayne Garcia, of channel twelve (I think) was sitting two rows ahead of us! Of course, many of you don't know who he is...no worries though. He's actually the only news personality I really recognize

So my dad took my picture with him:

After I took a stalker picture of him of course. Don't judge me. He's a good sport, after all

So the rest is history!

Goofy smile ^

dad and I being strange..

the 107 section. die-hard fans who lead every cheer, sing every song, never sit down, and lose their voices after every game haha.

They let them in one hour and seven minutes before the game starts...I think it's so legit

And the players :) So wonderful

Kenny Cooper, number 33, got kicked in the head with a cleat...painful! but he kept on playing...what a trooper!

Love, Sarai

The hilarious surprise waiting for us the next morning :)

Our tradition of having our intial Pancakes in the morning :)

Celeste's nutella drenched pancake

Orchid and Journal for Julia :)

Every year, Nancy, our bff Celeste, and I always have a sleepover at Julia Mower's house. She's a lady at our church who's children are all grown. It's our annual kick off to summer sleepover, and we've been doing every year since we were eight years old. Last night we dressed up (for the first time) and went to Red Robin. Food? Delicious. Way too huge of a serving though. I swear, my salad could have EASILY fed five people. Anyways...

Then we went back to Julia's house and she gave us the most beautiful necklaces as graduation/decade presents. I'll post a picture of them tomorrow, but they're best friend necklaces :) We now have a plan to wear them on graduation day. It made us all super-emotional though :( Julia has been such a wonderful example and friend to all of us, and not that this means we're stopping, but we've literally done this every single year since we were eight. Julia cried, I don't know if Nancy and Celeste did, but I know that I certainly did :( It was so sweet, but sad for all of us. And then we got extremely nostalgic...It was wonderful to say the least. I'm so grateful for her, and the friendship necklaces, and the years we've spent together. It's been a marvelous decade. This kinda feels like an anniversary..... *laugh*

Then after the crying we watched A Knight's Tale, and swooned over Heath Ledger (it was a dead-set plan, he was definitely going to be my husband...)

Which was quite nice :)

Then we slept

And in the morning, Julia made our pancakes! Every year, in the morning we wake up to a movie playing in the background, and Julia making pancakes for us. And our first pancake is ALWAYS our first initial. And then we gorge ourselves on the rest of the yummy pancakes :)

Then we went home :(

Another year over, but so many more to come! These ladies are so wonderful, I don't know how they do it.

Oh, and ten points to whoever knows which movie this comes from....

It's the movie that was playing this morning :)

Love, Sarai
