A lot has gone on this week. It all started on Monday... Monday I went to Seven Peaks in the morning, came home and did not feel well (I think it was from being in the heat for so long) and took a nap. My nap with a warm pillow and blanket did not make me feel any better. When it was time for FHE, I was really not feeling well. I went to the opening part of it, but when they left for the park to play capture the flag with a greased watermelon, I went home. Mallory and I decided to watch "Mama." This movie does make you jump and worry somewhat about what in hidden in the darkness of your closet or the other side of the room. We were both jumpy throughout the movie and ended up curled up on the couch each with a blanket. All through the movie, I kept hearing a rustling in the blinds, but I thought I was just scared because of the movie. I told Mallory about it, and she thought I was making things up. When the movie ended, I heard it again, and so did Mallory. We turned on the light, and what popped out from behind the blinds? The king kong of all moths... Moths were a key part of the movie so when he emerged, we both frantically grabbed all of our things, screamed every time it moved, and ran like the wind to our room where we safely stayed until morning. 
Tuesday I went to Seven Peaks with Dani and Tyler. We had a blast! I loved getting to spend my afternoon with those two. Wednesday I was exhausted and did not wake up until 11:30. I groggily got up and went to Seven Peaks once again. I was fine until I got a text from Andrew. Brain overload. After talking to my mom and watching a movie, I realized that I had to be a grown up. As much as I hate it, I take too much pride in people thinking I am older than I am. I have to keep that up. Thursday I got to have some fun. I got all dressed up with my hair and makeup done and went to the Hinckley Center. Then, I had to get ready for our ward activity. Dani and I should be on a professional rowing team. We swam, rafted, played games, ate pizza, sang Pocahontas songs, and had fun with the ward. We stayed out until the water got too choppy and we were sore and tired. I love being at the lake. It reminds me at home. It reminds me of when I was little and we went to the duck pond, the times we went to the park near Lake Arlington, and the stake lake activities. I went home, took a shower, and went to bed. I was so tired. I woke up this morning with more sore muscles not just from rowing but also from laughing. It was raining outside, but Dani and I decided we were going to have an adventure to the Mona rope swings anyways. By the time we got there, it was no longer raining, but it took us forever to find the swings. We finally did and I braved the cold water to swing it. As scary as it was at the top, it was a blast. This summer bucket list item has been crossed off, but I will be returning on a warmer day. Dani and I left wrapped in towels and jackets. On the way home, we stopped by the San Francisco Sourdough Eatery and then the Red Barn. I want everyone to know that chocolate chip ice cream is my absolute favorite. Simple and delicious. It was a fun week. My tan is coming along nicely, I had some fun with friends, and I spent most of the week in the water. There's nothing better.
Somewhere, I have pictures of me jumping off that exact same rope swing! I forgot about that day, but it was a fun one.
ReplyDeleteSounds like you had a good week, even if you did have to do some grown up things. Being a grown up is overrated.
