Wow, what a week. It sucked! Well, for most of it anyways. But I have learned a lot!
Monday-Wednesday were the worst days of the week. There was some serious tension in the apartment, that I THINK we have worked out. But, we discussed it and so at least it's out in the open and we know it's a problem, which is probably why we are all good now...
Thursday rocked my socks off. I went to class, learned some stuff, hung out with Jolley and my roommates, watched a movie in 110 and then went and FROZE at a flag football game. The guys in my ward were playing the married dudes and Ellie, Sonja and I decided we should probably support them.. So we went. It was way cold. But we won:) That was the best part. Oh, and drinking hot chocolate in my warm apartment afterwards in celebration with John, Ellie, and Sonja.
Friday wasn't half bad. Just chillaxed and stuff. Took this amazing nap.
Saturday was the ball. It was way fun. Jolley came over in the morning and we decorated our masks, and then I got a pedicure with Ellie (the best part of that was that it was free!) and went to Wally World with Greg. That was way cold!! And then Aubrie did my hair for the ball and Sonja gave me a manicure. Sonja and I got hungry so we went to this place called Bambino's. OML, they are way good. They had super funny signs on the wall. Just letters that people had written. My favorite said:
Dear Boys,
Please stop proposing on the first date.
Sincerely, Girls.
And in response was one right next to it that said:
Dear Girls,
But I prayed about it!
Sincerely, Boys.
Isn't that great?!?!? I love it. That place is the bomb.com for reals. Then, I had just barely enough time to eat and get dressed and put make up on before Jolley came. Then we waited for John 106, Ellie's date, and headed off the the Hart for some good ole fashion dancing. They had a DJ in the lobby and in the gym they had a live band playing ball room type dancing, mostly a lot of swing. It was great because out of the four of us, none of us knew how to dance. It was so fun. Dancing for like, three hours straight is so tiring! But then we came home and played Apples to Apples. I HATE that game, mostly because I suck really bad at it. Ellie and Jolley kept getting all the green cards and eventually John made a come back. And then he felt bad that I was losing so he gave me one as a pity card. A PITY card!! Mean.
After the left we of course stayed up talking. Mostly, Ellie talked, I just fumed over my pity card.
Sunday was cool. I went to church, did my visiting teaching, talked with Bishop, and later that afternoon Joey came over with Shane and Taylor 107 to do this missionary thing for the mission prep class. Taylor was the preemie and Shane was the S.C. and Joey was our "dad". It was fun. Taylor is going to be a GREAT missionary. He leaves in January for his mission in Brazil. Way cool. After they left five of us went to Viking Village to invite people over after their priesthood meeting to play games. Out of all of the people we invited, only Greg, Jesse, John 110 and Cody came. So we played Catch Phrase and joked around. After that, I got to talk to my best friend. That made my weekend! Then I went with John 110 and watched Bolt. It was a cute little movie. Would have been better if Miley Cyrus didn't have a role in it. But nonetheless, it was cool.
Monday didn't suck as much as last weeks. But I spent the majority of it doing math. I had a project and a study guide and homework due the next day and I wasn't even close to being done with either of them. Greg came over and helped me a bit on the homework after I had finished the project. Then I tried to finish it on my own, unsuccessfully at that. FHE came around and after the lesson we made cookies and Stephen, my FHE brother, helped me with the rest of the study guide. The Ellie, Sonja and I went to 110 with John and watched a movie. OML, it was way good, but super scary.
Tuesday was fine. I finished my math work with my partner and then Hung out with Greg and James. It was a good day, tho I'm pretty sure I completely failed the exam I took. Ellie and I went to another flag football game but the other team didn't even show up! How rude!!
Today hasn't been half bad. About to go to class actually. :) Wish me luck!

Birthday Bash Palooza Extravaganza Time
This weekend has been great!!!
Friday: Well, lets see. I didn't do a whole lot, hung out with Aubrie and Tucker and Jedi mostly. And did laundry. But it was so fun. Nice to just hang out with them. Then, Greg and James came over with a cake. It was great! A minty-chocolaty cake. Totally yummy. Greg always under-estimates his cooking skills. And then I went with Ellie and Joey to Mike's choir concert. We saw the Women's Choir, Vocal Union (they were so totally wicked!), the Collegiate Choir, and last, but not least, the Men's Choir (that's the one Mike is in). Everyone sounded so great! I really had a good time. Afterwards, the four of us went to Wendy's and just ate and chatted. Got home in time to talk to some friends and catch some z's.
Saturday: I woke up late, of course, but I only got like, 8 and a half hours of sleep. And then hung out and watched Grey's anatomy and Bones (which I still have to finish) until John came over and invited us to go watch the owl movie in 3D at the cheap theater. So of course me Sonja and I went. It was totally fun. And after that we joined Ellie at the football game. Our friend from the ward, Edward, was playing against James' team. So when I get to the stadium I get a text from Greg asking why I was to good to sit with him and his friends. I was so totally creeped out cause I had no idea where he was but he knew where I was.. It was a strange feeling. Eventually we convinced him and his friend Tyrell to sit with the three of us. The game was pretty good... We left early tho. All of us did actually. Greg and Tyrell went to get frozen yogurt (what girls) while Ellie, Sonja, and I went to make appointments to get our hair cut (I know, such a female thing to do, but it's ok, cause we are female). Then, Tyrell and Greg came over and just hung out for a while. When they left, the three of us went our separate ways to do homework or sleep or whatever. However, after I went to Walmart with Jedi and Aubrie and Tucker, Courtney came home and we went and had us some fun. She really wanted to prank the guys volleyball team that she coaches, so we filled up some water balloons, got some water guns form 101 and went on a hunt. We ended up trapping half the team in one guys car. We surrounded the car so they couldn't get out and then when they did, bombarded them with water. It was so much fun. Afterwards we went by Viking Village to say hey to some friends. Ended up spending the rest of the night in 104 talking about various boy troubles. Sonja wrote me a rap and Taylor performed a poem he wrote, about a monster that lives on a mountain and a wicked old wizard. It was crazy awesome! Then, of to home to get some sleep for church.
Sunday: Church was great. Ellie had bought some doughnuts for my birthday breakfast the day before and we finally got to eat them. Courtney's lesson in Relief Society was amazing. Sunday school was great and sacrament was inspiring. After church I came home and did some Book of Mormon homework until our Home Teachers, Joey and Sean(or Scott, I can't remember) stopped by. It was a great lesson and fun just sitting and talking with them. Then, my Visiting Teaching companion, Katie, came by so we could visit teach. That blew up as one of our girls was out of town and the other (my neighbor) was asleep. So we made plans so come back later in the week. The Ellie, Sonja, and I went over to Viking Village to find us some dates to the masquerade ball this coming Saturday. I asked Jolley (you might remember him from CTF and Sardine at Porter Park, he was the sneaky one who tricked me) and he said yes. Ellie asked John in 106 (I clarify what apartment he is in because there are like, four Johns in our ward), and Taylor, the guy in 104 Sonja wanted to ask, already has other plans.. So we just need to find her another guy to ask. Then we went home and hung out with John from 110 (our FHE brother). Greg came over to fix my computer and then I went with him to hang out at his place with James and Tyrell until Jedi got me for dinner. It was pretty fun. I met Lyle, Greg's black friend with a white name. And Tyrell, btw, is a white guy. Go figure! Anyways, at Jedi's we had fondue and played hand and foot and ate cake. Aubrie and Jedi got me these awesome house shoes that you can microwave to make your feet warm. They are epic. After dinner and games I went to 110 at Viking to watch The Princess and the Frog. It was fun. Ellie, Courtney ad I went up the floor to invite people to eat cake and watch a movie with us. We even got John, the study-holic from 106 (Ellie's date for Saturday) to come. And I met someone new. Brad from 109. He is the only person from 109 that I know. I'm proud of myself. Lol. The movie was great and I had a blast.
Monday: We are going to end the weekend with a party, just us and 110, our FHE brothers. It's gonna be a blast.
Today is a start of a whole new Auvie. Hope you like her!

Spooning- 304 Edition
What: Apartment Night
Who: Sonja, Ellie, Courtney, Auvie
Activity: Spooning
No, it's not what you think. For our apartment night the four of us went to the guys apartments on our ward and stole their spoons. If their door was unlocked and no one was home, we went in. We managed to hit four apartments. Two of which had someone home, in their room, on their computer, oblivious to the world. The other two had no one home, but their doors were unlocked. After those four, there was one we just couldn't pass up. 106. Cody was home, on a double date with a friend and two girls from our ward. So what did we do? Knocked on the door, told Cody to keep a secret and started taking his spoons. We didn't even bother to tell him what was going on. We just told him to keep it a secret. Then, we wanted to see if we could get into 101. So we staked out their door by hiding around the corner. Sonja and Courtney were sleep deprived, so they got the idea to sneak around the back of the building and peek in the window, like a creeper. Then, for some reason, they took James' pictures that were sitting on the window sill. Once we ran away, they went and took back the pictures and apologized.
When we got home, Cody was there, because his date lives in the room below us. He races up the stairs behind us and forces his way into our apartment. Then, he starts taking everything he can grab: forks, knives, paper towels, even our trash can! Eventually he go out the door with Sonja's phone. So Ellie went and worked her magic and in return for the phone, she has to cook him dinner on Thursday and we had to give him a spoon. Just one. What a crazy night! But it was so much fun!
At 10:30 the next morning we are woken up by pounding on our door. We think it's the guys, demanding their spoons, but there are girl voices mixed in with the guy voices, so we just leave the door unanswered. No one came during the day asking for their spoons, and even at the ward hay ride activity only one person mentioned it. Come Sunday morning, we decided to let the guys have their spoons. So we draw a big spoon in our window to let them know it's us. But we don't say anything at church. By the end of Sunday night, three apartments came to reclaim their spoons. 106 even told us that the next group to prank them is getting a dosed with chunky milk and Koolaid powder. Haha. The moral of the prank: Don't leave your door unlocked on a Friday night.
One more thing. This kid in my ward, Charles, is in the same math class as Jedi, they are "tight", and he also served in the same area as Skylar just three months ago. He knows Skylar, though they never served together. How weird.
