Of Farkle, Spray Butter, and Sweet Kisses

Sorry for my disappearance... I had so much to do last week, and this weekend was just insane. I honestly do not remember my Friday night. At all. I just remember being up until two in the morning. Saturday I worked on research papers. Yes, you read correctly. That was plural. By six in the evening I was braindead. Oh! I know what I did Friday! Jan and I started a Harry Potter marathon. So, Saturday we finished #2 and started #3. Then David and his roomate came over and we switched to 17 Again. Bad choice. I was tired and grumpy, and that was a terrible movie. Dave and Jan laughed at me the whole time. Rude. At midnight when I finally got to change out of my jeans I felt much better. Then, it was Sunday. Sundays are supposed to be a day of rest. Why do I have sore abs once again after another Sunday? Well, let me tell you. First off, Ashley's friend from Mexico came to church with us. He has no filter and said whatever came to his mind. So darn funny. At church Dave sat with us the whole time. Random? In between two classes, the first counselor of the bishopric came over to talk to us. After about 30 seconds there was an awkward silence. He says, "So..." as he kind of ducks down, turns, and walks away. What? After church we had break the fast. I made 15 scrambled eggs, you guys. Wow. Then Jake came and sat with us. He may be the cutest boy in the ward. He felt my pants like everyone else wanted to since they have a cool pattern, offered to get me more food, and laughed with us. So great. Also, at one point Jan had gone to get cups for us. Two of them were stuck together, and no matter how hard the boys tried they could't get them apart. I got them apart right away. The boys' pride was gone. After break the fast Dave came over to play Canasta. Who plays that? We ended up playing Farkle instead. I am not sure which is worse. So funny. We ate some banana bread that Jan made, but we didn't have soft butter. So, we used spray butter. Dave's face was indescribable. Ward prayer was next. I didn't know a ton of people there (sad, I know)  so I sat with Jan on the couch. Dave said I looked miserable and asked if I would feel better if he sat by me. I guess? So he did most of the time. After the prayer, the oddest boy in the ward came and sat cross-legged in front of us. It was remarkably hard to carry on a conversation with him. I quickly felt awkward and didn't know what to say or do. Thank goodness we had to go soon. Jan and I came home to just laugh about our day. Another knock on the door startled us. When Jan answered it, someone had written us a nice note. Instead of giving us the note and leaving, Garrett stays to introduce himself. Jan freezes so I talk to him while he is still standing outside and she is holding the door partially open. She finally comes to and says, "Sorry, I couldn't make this more awkward." He politely responds with, "Probably not." We hear a laugh from downstairs. Who is it but Jake. They then came in to eat some cookies we had made and start giving us decorating ideas. Hold up. What is going on? I talked to them the whole time. When they left Jan couldn't believe how much I had talked when she was the one that froze. I don't really know either. When they left Jan and I ate chips with different flavors of BBQ sauce such as "slappin' hot" and "sweet kisses" as well as no bake cookies. As we sat and laughed at the table we marveled over the weirdness of our weekend. Today carried on the greatness. Michael brought us all Wendy's to the office. Full of nuggets, fries, and frosty, I was ready to go to my social work class. I will write about that tomorrow because I am exhausted right now. Even though my phone somehow broke and I had to wait to get it fixed I am happy to say today was pretty amazing. I am done with all of my homework for the week, I have an email from Becca waiting in my inbox, I am going to the temple with Meghan Wednesday, and I just don't think anything could ruin this week. Okay, well maybe snow could, but let's hope that doesn't happen.
