The More Boys I Meet, The More I Love My Dog

This weekend was a crazy fun weekend with my girl Melissa. We can get a little crazy when we are together so it's always a good time when we are together! We went Latin dancing on Friday and I ended up leaving my phone in my car, here in Rexburg all weekend while we were partying it up in Idaho Falls all weekend! Can I just say that everyone should try living without their phones for a couple of days? It is such a nice refresher! I don't think everyone needs to be so attached to their phones, they should try living without their right-hand-piece of technology for a day or two. You would be surprised how good it feels, after the initial freak out :) So anyway, back to my weekend story: Saturday rolls around, and we of course sleep in, go to the temple and then decide that we need to go grab some pizza, ice cream, and donuts and take then back to Melissa's place and pig out while watching National Treasure. Pretty chill for crazy people right? Well afterwards, we of course are bored. Coincidentally Matt calls up and says he's bored too and wants to go swimming at Rigby lake! at 9 o'clock at night :) Oh yeah, it was really freaking cold and really really fun! I recommend that everyone try that one as well :) Live a little! Take my advice. You will thank me later.
Sunday! Pretty chill cause it's Sunday and all. Just church at a singles ward that we didn't know anyone, or so we thought. Until our friend Zach, who also happens to be in that ward, shows up and totally made our sunday better. (side note, he's ENGAGED!! congrats Zach!) The talks at church were also really good and needed by both me and Melissa. Those talks, with a sunday afternoon nap and a seriously yummy dinner made for a great sunday! After dinner we head over to Matt's to watch a movie, the ever awesome Italian Job, in his very hot apartment. So to fix that problem, we grabbed some lawn chairs and stuck them outside in front of his door. We rolled the TV in front of the door way, plugged it in, and watch Dark Night outside! Here is the sweet pic that Melissa took of our genius :)
That's right! TV+3 awesome people= Coolest Sunday night ever :)


I get back late Sunday night and just rolled into bed and slept until really late this morning. Sunday night I finally pulled my phone outta my car to find that someone blew up my phone more than my mother! That has to be a new record or something because no one has ever done that! I'll just say that it was a guy, that deciced because I didn't answer my phone all weekend, thought that I was mad at him and ignoring him. So he decided to try blowing up Melissa's phone all weekend, putting a bit of a damper on this totally awesome weekend! But we didn't let it ruin it too much :) But I called my sister Chantel and we talked about it. Come to find out that she has been having her own share of problems with a guy, who decides that he is not going to talk to her at all, and purposely ignore her texts and calls, because he was too busy playing Star Craft! What is it with guys, that if you don't text then back within the hour they freak out and go through a roller coaster of emotions, ending the friendship completely, or they completely ignore you because Star Craft is more important?
Listen up guys: A piece of advice. sometimes we just need a weekend to ourselves, and if we don't text you back, give it a few days! We can have fun with just the girls every now and then. It's not the end of thew world. Also, if we are trying to get a hold of you for two weeks straight, we aren't just wasting our time because we have nothing to do. It's because we are trying to talk to you and we have something important to say! So put a pause on the Star craft and pick up your phone! Because last time we checked, you had working thumbs, and girls have lives outside of guys. Just because we love you, doesn't mean we need you every moment of the day!

Ok, crazy ranting aside, if you still feel like taking my advice, and if you don't do any of the above stuff I told you too, at least do this! Pull up youtube and listen to these guys. They are sooo freaking amazing! They do covers of awesome songs. Their harmonies are so beautiful and their piano playing is exceptional! they also have something random and funny in each of their videos. They are called Michael & Justin
This one if Melissa's favorite video:

And this one is MY favorite video because of the AMAZING piano skills in it! And also it happens to be my theme song which makes it ten times cooler :)

Rigby Lake

So my roomates and I have decided that every weekend we are going to go to Rigby lake and do some serious tanning for the summer. We want to be all golden and tan and pretty before it all dies in the winter. And it's also some good relaxation from a stress filled week of work and homework. So each Saturday afternoon we head to the lake, shell out a couple bucks and get our tan on!
Each Saturday we spend about 2 hours in the beach then head home to inspect our hard work :) Last week we discovered that Mary looked like Neapolitan Ice Cream (yummy!! She was brown, white, and very pink). Kristina looked like a "gorgeous goddess!" She was nice and tan with a hint of redness, but no biggie! It blended well. And I was of course the smart one who shouted "I'm golden!!" and ran around the apartment in my happiness :)
Well, if that wasn't funny enough, this week was even better! We spent 2 hours, same as always, only this week it was hotter and there wasn't a single cloud in the sky. Perfect right? WELL....The quotes from our adventure today are:
"I'm a CANDY CANE!!!" ~Kristina. "Oh my gosh Mary! Your back!!" "At least your tan line is gone!" ~Me.  "I'm ruined!!" ~Also me. "I've never seen someone so red!!" ~Me "I have!!! My sister." ~Kristina.
It goes on....including some squeaking from the shower from Kristina because the shower water was "REALLY COLD!!"  Cold showers did the trick though! (for some of us anyway) all in all, Kristina and Mary are in a lot of pain from the massive sunburns over random parts of their entire body. Oh, did I mention that Kristina has the coolest sunburn of us all, because on her shoulder we found some random white spot among the redness. So I come over to inspect it, and do you know what it looked like? Fingers! That's right, she fell asleep with her back to the sun, laying on her hand and her fingers left a lovely finger-print on her otherwise very red shoulder :)
I can't wait to see what next Saturday's adventures brings!! Well, I can't wait to hear about it since I will be in UTAH visiting my 'sister' Chantel!! And other friends too :)

Oh Oh! New update!!
SO
We were chilling in our living room and a couple of guys came over to hang. So we chatted and Mary and Kristina were down on the couch enduring their awful sunburns. So after the guys left, this is the conversation that went down.
Mary: I think I'm gonna go take my bra off (cause it was rubbin' in the burn) And my shirt too :)
Me: Take it off Mary! Just take it off! (cause these are the crazies that come out of our mouths when we banter!)
Kristina: I'm gonna close the blinds!
Some random guy out thew window that was either one of the guys that came over and just left, or one of the construction workers: Yes. Please!
Tons of ab ripping laughter for 5 min after from us :)
That's right! We strip down to make the burn feel better! Haha Wait...I didn't get burned...But I can still join in the fun right?
song for the night: Hot in Herre by Nelly :)
