Well folks, that's it. I have officially finished my second to last semester at BYU. I took my last final on Wednesday and now I am free of classes and homework for two weeks! This is the biggest break I have had since last summer and man it feels good. I don't know exactly what I'll do for fun during the times I'm not working, but all I have to say is that I want to relish the last lazy days of summer I have left. Yesterday I began doing that by spending a lazy day with my mom at the South Towne Mall and going to see the chick flick "Becoming Jane." It was so much fun! It's been way too long since I've done something like that, especially with my mom. Mom and I had a great time just talking, catching up and doing what girls do best, shopping!The movie was also very enjoyable and anyone who loves Jane Austen or "Pride and Prejudice" would love it. I think the best part of the day, or maybe just the funniest, was when a little girl came bounding out of the women's restroom at the movie theater with a long piece of toilet paper stuck to her little shoe. Oblivious to any knowledge of her new attachment, she went skipping off to the theater door to go see her movie with several stares and snickers following her. It was hilarious! I felt bad for her, but it was just too funny!
Even though it has been while since I've done something like that and I have been in school all summer, I have done many other things this summer that have been really fun. I tried to post one picture of each fun thing I did. First, I started off the summer celebrating Nate's graduation. Then I took an all expense paid trip to Seattle with Nate and just enjoyed being at his home and jumping on the tramp. I also went on a few fun hikes with Nate, went tubing down the Provo river with him and others, went to the zoo with my mom and sister and her kids, spent time at Sugar House Park with family, watched the Provo City parade and the Stadium of Fire fireworks on the 4th of July, saw Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, read Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, went to a birthday party for my parents and spent time with family there, and went to a family reunion at Downata Hot Springs in Idaho. Wow that's a lot of things. I guess this summer wasn't a complete dud after all! It was actually a pretty fun summer. And technically it's not over. This weekend is my roommate's bridal shower and Tuesday is her wedding and reception (which is at Thanksgiving Point). Also next week is Education Week here at BYU and Mom will be staying with me at my apartment and I might be going to some evening classes with her. Well, since I have to head off to work pretty soon, I guess I better go get ready. Hopefully I'll be able to keep up on this blog and keep people posted (lol) on the goings on in my life.
