Spontanaeity

The past couple weeks have been completely amazing! Last week, Jenn's family was in town to see Jenn's sister dance in Savior of the World, so we all went to that together along with our FHE brother Jake. It was an absolutely amazing show, and I'm so glad that I had the opportunity to go.
This past Monday, I got my boot off!! I was so excited! Although I wasn't too thrilled about the snow that was falling that morning... But I got my boot off, and I've been so happy ever since! My FHE brothers made me a pinata in the shape of my boot as a de-booting day present. And in place of a stick, they let me beat it with my boot! It completely made my night!! I'm so grateful to be walking on my own feet. I'm not allowed to run, so I went and walked at the indoor track in the BYUI center while my roommate and FHE brother ran.

Jake is the one who made the boot pinata

 Colin and Jake were trying to figure out the best way to string up the pinata

 It fell off the stick so I beat it with my boot while it was on the ground

This weekend has been so much fun! Last night, Jenn, Taja, and I were the only ones home, so we decided to have some fun. First, we went chalking and wrote motivational notes on the sidewalks of Greenbrier.

 Stairs with inspirational messages on them :)

 Return With Honor (We went bottom up)

 And Good Grades (A continuation of Return With Honor)

 Me with my notes

 Jenn had chalky hands too

 She got green chalk on my face

 It's pretty important

 Definitely a must for the testing center

 Can't really take a test without a pencil...

After we went chalking, we walked to Maverick to put air in Taja's bike tire, but apparently they charge for air, and nobody had $.50 so we walked back. But at least we got our exercise! When we got back, we decided to eat some dinner. So we packed a dinner and went to the fields and ate there in the dark. It was great! Afterward, Taja and I went to Beaver Dick park with my friend Loren and his friend Alex and skipped rocks (or attempted to). I'm not very good at skipping rocks. We dropped Alex off, and then we went to Loren's brother and sister-in-law's apartment and made peanut butter cookies. They were delish! We got home and then Taja and I crashed in the living room. I finally made it to my bed at 3:30 in the morning.
Today, we all slept until 10, and then we got up and watched conference. In between sessions, Taja and I went to Broulim's and got stuff for lunch, Walmart to get a kite, and then we came home and met our FHE brothers and drove up to the fields for yet another picnic. This one was an adventure because it was EXTREMELY windy! Colin and I held the blanket up like a sail and jumped. We actually moved. it was quite entertaining. After that, we watched another session of conference, and went to Broulim's yet again, this time to get stuff to make chili and cinnamon rolls for dinner. Both of which turned out delicious, and I will definitely be having a cinnamon roll for breakfast tomorrow.
I've been super busy lately, and that's why I haven't written in a while... It's finals week this week, so it may be a while before i write again, but next week, I go home!! I'm so excited to see my family and get to spend time with them! And I can't wait to see my puppy Licorice either! (Even though she's 7 and not technically a puppy, she's still my puppy!)
