Let's recap this week shall we? For MY sake. I won't remember what happened this week if i don't write about it now. A lot of fun, interesting events happened......Let's rewind! "Take it back now ya'll.."
March 7th, 2010 (Sunday):
Skylar Wilkes Photoshoot! This girl might be one of the cutest, funniest girls I've met. She has so many one liners!!! One of which being, "This is my culture!!!!" She's about 12ish? Not exactly sure what age she is, but she is awesome! Here are some of the few...pictures out of the hundreds (861 to be specific) i took that day. :) Enjoy!
She was so fun to work with! If ANYONE wants a photo shoot, please let me know! Text me, call me, e-mail me...I'd love to shoot you! In a good way :) Not the bang bang shotgun type of shooting, but the click click "you look amazing in this picture!!!" type of shooting. :) That took up pretty much my WHOLE Sunday!
Monday, was pretty much like every other Monday. Have you ever heard the song Rainy days and Mondays by the Carpenters? GOOD SONG! I just recently got called to the position in my church to be the "mom" of the activities (FHE-family home evening). That means, i'm in charge with a "Dad" to plan activities for the singles of our ward every monday. yipee!! :) I have a cool dad though. Chreston Allen would be his name. Yia Yia! This monday, the 8th, wasn't really planned though. It was the first one, so anyone could pick where they wanted to go. Oh, there is another pair that is in charge of the same FHE but at a different location. Lauren Davis and Adam Collete. I went with Lauren and Kyle to the Salazar's dwelling for Fhe. SO FUN! There was a brief lesson given by Thomas Pfingston, and then we all played this game....I don't really remember what it's called but everyone gets a sheet of paper and they write down a What If question. Ha What if is the name of the game. :) And you pass around your paper and you get a random question from someone else, and you write down an answer to it. then someone gathers them up and passes them out and you read them. its really funny!! We played for a long time! So that was my Monday. =)
Tuesday...I uh...don't actually remember what i did on tuesday. Oh wait, I had my marriage prep class and then played some fooseball with Clint Willis, and WONNNNNN!!! BooYaa take THAT Clint! :) Chris took Erin and I out to lunch at the Taco Bell. :D That IS my favorite restaurant. American Idol was on that night, i remember because i skipped class. Haha shhh
Wednesday, and Thursday were such a blur i can't even remember what i did other than going to classes. Oh yeah i remember one thing. I fell asleep in my math class! That never happens!! I'm always afraid the teacher will throw something at me to wake me up and then everyone laughs at me. Something cool happened on Wednesday night though. My Deaf History and Culture class is on that night, not to mention its 3 hours long!! But I found out a lot about myself! Did you know that the number one cause of Deafness in children is from ear infections?? I had never put these two words together before this night: Can't hear and being Deaf. Its like peanut butter and jelly! Also like, Amber and Blonde!! ;) My teacher was explaining this concept of ear infections, and i remembered a story i've heard many times from my parents...but it all fit together and made sense when a guy from my class basically told a story just like mine! He told Lisalee (teacher) that he was born early and he had ear infections for a while but then got tubes put in his ears and after a little bit he could hear! "was i Deaf that whole time?" She signed YES! You were Deaf!! My story is just like that, basically! What happened to me is...I was born three weeks late and had ear infections for a year and a half till my parents had tubes put in my ears, and when they brought me home, i looked at the t.v. and started pounding on the screen. My eyes were huge because i could finally hear the sound!! I asked my teacher if that meant I was Deaf too and she said YUP! Its so interesting to me how everything in my life has involved my hearing SO much! Viola, symphonies, choir, singing, everything! I love music SO much! But at the same time, i feel so lucky to have been Deaf! I know i would have loved being Deaf if i never got those tubes put in, but its mind boggling to think how different my life would be. Anyway, that was my interesting fact of Wednesday night.
FRIDAY! Friday was the WORST. You know what i hate going to more? Well, it's a tie kind of....the dentist or the doctor. The dentist sucks cause i always have cavities, aka getting shots in my mouth. I'm not sure why i always have cavities? But they always magically appear when he comes in to look at my teeth. thank you! Doctors are lame too because...so many things! How many of you are like me and hate to get on the scale to show how much you weigh? ESPECIALLY if its in front of a freakin hott male nurse? (female nurses for all you men out there) I just about die every time he looks at the scale and widens his eyes a bit more than they were before, and writes the weight down all flustered. I shrink down a few sizes and follow him sheepishly to the room he assigns me to and wait for the doctor to come in and torture me some more. I love the line in "Juno" when she says, what does the even MEAN!!? She is referring to when people ask her, "are you sexually active?" I also loathe that question. I was about to say that when the doctor asked me. Haha This picture is my attitude towards going to the doctor.
Later on Friday evening, was the DaNcE!!!! I LOVE dancing! The singles dances are so much fun...I don't know why really. But something about them makes them awesome!
All ready for the dance! :)
Alright, Saturday!! I regret to say that i didn't make it in time for the snow trip the singles ward planned out. How could I? They left at 8:30 AM!!! That would be a definite....no. But I did get the honor of going on a very cool date with a very cool guy. He took me to a really amazing restaurant...one of my favorites, The Old Spaghetti Factory! I got the one and only, Mizithra Cheese. You have to understand this concept. Mizithra Cheese is to DIE for and whenever someone from the family gets it, and brings it home? Oh its on. We risk getting hurt to have our hands on that food. If you knew how good it was, you'd be doing the same thing. So when I got it, I warned Chris, my date, that when he dropped me off at home, Erin and my Mom would be chasing me around the house for it. And what happened? Erin and Mom were bugging me all night for just one bite!! ;) Chris took me to see the Broadway musical Chicago in Sacramento. Awesome play! A little scandalous, but the talent these actors and singers and dancers have is remarkable! I was in awe of how well they did the show. Here are some pictures I took of the night...
Well, another week to come and hopefully I'll report as well or better than i did tonight! I hope you enjoyed this, supposing you read all of this. :) Have a wonderful night everyone!!
