String Cheese. Lion King. Face Full Of Mud.

"Make life an adventure!" -Marjorie Paye Hinckley

Sometimes life comes with a lot of surprises. Some are good surprises. Some...are not. A recent surprise in my life...a new relationship. I would say it's going well. This my first real relationship, so sometimes there is communication issues. I feel like he's a clingy, but it's good for me. His name? Harold B. Lee Library on BYU's campus :) Basically what I'm getting at is that I spend a lot of time doing school work and sometimes it's overwhelming. It's a blessing really. I have learned to be that much more grateful for the fun times I do have, and I notice the funny things in life more frequently.

Moment 1: This week I went shopping at Macy's. I love string cheese, so of course I had to buy some. I couldn't find it anywhere though! So I finally went and asked an employee; he was in his early 70's, and had obviously been with the Macy's business for some time. It was a pretty busy night, and I didn't want to make a scene, so I just quietly asked him where the string cheese was. "CREAM CHEESE! WE SURE DO CARRY THAT! WE ALSO GOT YOUR PROVOLONE, HAVARTI, PEPPERJACK, MUNSTER, SWISS, SHARP CHED..."

He started to yell out every cheese! Everyone around was staring at us! "No sir," I said, "I just want STRING cheese."

"WELL. I JUST TOLD YOU! WE HAVE ALL KINDS OF CREAM CHEESE ON AISLE 10."

Ok. So he's old and hard of hearing. I just smiled and started to walk away and ran straight into this boy's shopping cart. He started to laugh, my face went red, and I started to apologize. He stopped my apologies and assured me that there was string cheese, along with the cream cheese, on aisle 10.

Moment 2: Lion King. Big screen. 3D!!!!! Lion King has been my favorite movie since the day I arrived on this earth! When I heard it was coming to the big screen in 3D, for two weeks only...I new it was in my destiny to see this movie! The fact that Lion King was going to be on the big screen was a miracle, but the second Zazu flew by my head and we were soaring over the African Savanna...tears may or may not have filled my eyes. Greatest ever!!!!!



























Moment 3: The Dirty Dash. It's exactly what it sounds like!! You get dirty...and you run. It's a 10K race/obstacle course filled with hay bales, rope swings, tunnels, climbing, swimming, and...LOTS of MUD! My team and I all wore cute bright orange fairy wings throughout the race. It was the most fun 6 miles I have ever run in my life!! I think I'm still chewing on mud and will probably have fun colored boogers for the next two years.
