So I haven't been home this weekend and when I got home, I plugged in my phone, turned on the computer, and thought about uploading pictures. Then my phone was so dead that it turned off the service, my computer was blinking at me because it was about to die, and my camera was dead. Can't things just stay charged? Please?
I have a boyfriend. That's really all I have to say right now.
He's cute, and he's not an RM so my parents need not worry.
Anyway. I really have no others news, except that I got two new pairs of shoes and they're super-cute, one of which I'm wearing in this picture right now
The lovely Sydney from The Daybook's recent post, "Why are mormons so cool?" seemed to apply perfectly to how Sarai and I view our creativity. I had never quite pieced together how our religion had influenced our love of beautiful things until Sydney did it for me. It definitely made complete sense! And this video is really what its all about :)
These past five days i've been camping in the lovely town of Lakeview with all of its 2,000 inhabitants on the border of California and Oregon. My grandparents grew up in good ol' Lakeview and its a tradition to go camping there every Labor Day weekend. I would have to say that this trip was especially great. :) Everyday Leila and I would wake up to plan our agenda which mainly consisted of trespassing while on our random adventures to abandoned houses with dead animals inside, trying to find ways to get in the newspaper, asking people if we could poke around their house cause some ancestor of ours built it, asking boys if they had horses, awesome antique/vintage shopping(I bought a skirt for $1), watching the sunset every night down at the lake, and starring at the stars for hours because they just don't look like that in the city.
We did so much more and I have tons of pictures but you all might get a little bored with them... but the highlight was definitely riding the elephant! Who would have thought we would ride an elephant in the middle of nowhere Lakeview?! Her name was Patty and we got to feed her snickers :)
Sometimes it's nice to get away from the hussle and bussle. I can't wait for next year!
No no, not the S-E-X talk; the DTR talk. As in, Determine the Relationship. Personally I'm a big fan of knowing where my relationships are headed. Whether it's splitsville, or marriage, I have to know! Not that any of my relationships are headed towards marriage that is. I'm only eighteen....geez you freaks.
Anyway
I had this talk with someone, because I personally like our little relationship, but I also don't want it to stay the way it is right now. I want it to turn into a real relationship, instead of a thing. So I asked. And I liked the answer I got. In about a week, you guys will know if we're actually official, or if things fizzled out...hahaha
So I'm kinda anticipatory....and excited :)
OH! Speaking of marriage.... I have two friends getting married in the next few months...and I'm freaking out! In a good, excited kind of way. One of these ladies is a friend I've had for years, and basically I get to help her do anything for the wedding that I want to. Which is good, because I'm obsessed with weddings. The other girl, I just met this semester. Known her for a few days, but already I can tell we're going to be good friends. And she kinda wants me to help her plan her wedding also, no big deal. Also, I get to make cupcakes for her wedding. So excited :)
But you know what I'm most excited about?
Lingerie. I'm going to buy them both a lot of sexy lingerie. It's going to be wonderful.
Love, Sarai
Obsessed with this song right now...
and also obsessed with the meaning behind it. I agree completely
We hiked the Y this Tuesday night....which was extremely uphill by the way. And kind of awful, but in a fun way? I don't know how to explain. I was dying, out of breath, sweaty, disgusting, and meanwhile my two GORGEOUS blonde friends were trekking up that mountain like there was no tomorrow. Ridiculous I tell you. But strangely enough, I'm insanely happy that I went. It was me, Kendall, Kelly, and my new friend Dane, who brought his two friends Tanner and Aaron. The view was amazing, and there was lightning in the distance, which is probably unsafe, but we were certainly enjoying it. Amazing.
This is the Y by the way. At least from our view on the top of it :)
And that little bitty building is the Provo Temple!
Oh and this is our friend, the tarantula. Not gonna lie, he was the least scary part of the trip. We also just so happened to see a brown recluse on the Y, which was embarrassing, because I definitely screaming, and acting like a fool. Luckily Aaron killed it for us. It took four tries to finally kill it.....
Anyway. I have been listening to the song Teenage Dream, Boyce Avenue's cover of Katy Perry's song, nonstop. I can't stop listening to it! He changed the lyrics slightly, and it sounds so heartfelt and beautiful. I love this version! Also maybe I'm so in love with the song because I kind of am in a situation that is causing me to be very giddy, and ridiculous. It's amazing what can happen in the matter of a week :)
