SUMMER is here!

What a glorious sunday. School is done. It's warm outside. and i have NOTHING to do. Such a great feeling. I couldn't be MORE excited for this awesome break from school. After the summer of my senior year i was told summer would never be the same and that i would want it back.. yes kind of. But this summer is going to be great. i can already feel it.

Church was AMAZING today. As always with my great ward. But i didn't even have an urge to leave early or anything! ha too bad i have to speak next sunday.. boooo

Also.. as Sharon and I were leaving.. (we park in Scooter Parking-genius i know) I saw a very familiar face. Our dear friend who is probably 5'2 or something. Also known as Parker's roommate Joel. If you could only meet this character then would you understand the next few words that came out of his mouth. I waved him down and said, "Joel where are you going? are you going to study?"--because he is in the library more than anyone i know. He replied with, "well let me tell you why i'm here. I met these two lovely female personages today in a white car, around 4:05 and I thought to myself i had seen with mine own eyes an angel of God and i can now die a happy man. actually i'm going to a bbq. bye" Haha we were in fact the 2 females in the white car at 4:05. he is so funny.

well kids, i think now that school is done i am finally going to finish my book. i'm on page 280.. only 250 more to go haha wish me luck.

Good luck with finals and such and enjoy the warm weather!

These are some of the famous parker quotes...

if only you could have heard them in context this would be one million times funnier.

He says he loves it and he isn't taking it off even though he feels gay driving around with it.. haha

Monday Night Madness

Well since none of my roommates have school or work on tuesday, we usually run amuck on monday evenings. Staying up late, doing nonsense, sleeping in, and then going to the temple. That is usually what our day consists of. But tonight we were a little crazy. Linds went home and Holly is in Florida which left Sharon and I home alone. First we enjoyed an evening up at the Y parking lot-- one of the best views in provo, next to Squaw Peak--just talking, reminiscing of a year ago and lots of memores.. and other stuff. We then planned on window painting some funny sayings onto this guy's car in our ward but of course as we walk over there, we witness people in the act of putting post-it notes all over it. Um what? what are the chances?! same boy, same car, same night, same time? pretty crazy! we were pretty disappointed that they beat us to it so we decided we still needed to attack.. Lucky Parker.

Oh how i wish i got pictures. or got the moment on film. We went and drew all over his car writing some of our favorite sayings from him.. however at first the markers were really runny and we made a mess on one of the windows and we wanted to fix it. We could see one of his roommates sitting in the kitchen so we tried getting his attention so we could get paper towels.. next thing we know parker's head is out the window saying "what the heck are you doing at my house at 2 in the morning"... haha our only response was "just go back to sleep"while laughing hysterically-mind you we had to pee like no other.. not a good combo.

Finally we got some paper towels, and with the help of some spit we got the mess cleaned up for the most part, and admired our work. We know park knew something was going on but it was just so funny we laughed for 2 hours. actually.. i'm still laughing haha. We then drove around for 45 minutes looking at places that we might want to live next year.. pretty productive right?!

We are creepy night owls.. LOVE nights like these.

Happy Sunday to me!

I love getting texts that say:

"Hey Melanie, Sorry I forgot to get you the songs for sunday. Don't worry about it, I will play for you"

Thank you mr. music major. I wish you would just take my calling. You honestly don't know how relieving that is to hear! Now I can enjoy my sunday.

Happy Wednesday!

I hope you can have your cake and eat it too.

life has its ups and downs ya know?

One second you are happy.
The next second you are not.

Simple as that.

I can't wait for this semester to be over for MULTIPLE reasons.

I couldn't be more thankful for my two bestest friends who are there for me ALWAYS.

Linker. That would be their names put together. and that is what i call them. starting now :)

(Sorry linds, i stole this from you)

Can't wait to spend the best summer of my life with these two gems.

I pity the souls out there that need constant and continual attention. reassurance from others. etc. Grow up for 5 seconds. Thanks.

I heard from this boy this week.... First time since JUNE.

Can't wait for conference this weekend!! Another motivational boost to help me finish my book.

Wyview Park.

So many memories flooded my mind tonight while i was driving through Wyview, my old apartments. I lived there for a whole year. Fall, winter, spring, summer. And then I became not a young freshman anymore so i felt obligated to move out. I met a lot of people. I made a lot of friends. I wish i still lived there sometimes. It was so fun and i feel like almost carefree. Everyone was new to being on their own and adjusting together. Here are some random memories i thought of tonight:

• Meeting Zach and Chris at a ward activity the first sunday behind the creamery. We didn't want to play the stupid game they were playing so we talked instead. Then they invited Sharon and I over to play sorry. Not soon after it was just me and Zach. Awkward a bit. Who would have known I was about to spend every day with him.
• During the summer I loved the rain. Lucia, Celeste and I would run out and dance and sing (or scream) in the rain. It was SO much fun. A guy from our ward actually videoed us once to put us in the ward talent show movie. haha embarrassing. 
• For FHE during the summer one time we had a scavenger hunt/ service activity thing. My family was so serious about it. Haha you would have thought we were gonna win a million dollars!
• Zach and Chris wanted to rent a movie and i refused to watch it with them so they rented it from itunes. It took 3 whole days to download. hahaha and then you only have it for like 24 hours before it disappears.
• Travis and I were on a walk around wyview and come to find out my roomies, Celeste and Lucia, were following us hiding in bushes and running through sprinklers. haha i had NO idea. until i came in and saw the evidence. Celeste fell and cut her foot... serves her right. haha
• While walking to the bus one morning I showed Christopher and Sharon my "Jill Schofield" fast walk. get down and low. haha. (listen that thing is genius. People down here have learned not to mess with me while i speed walk.) Anyways, Chris told me I should go to the Olympics for it. Later that day on campus i was on the phone with zach telling him the story and right as i said "Christopher told me I should.." Christopher popped out of NOWHERE and over my shoulder said "I said what?" ha ha he scared the crap out of me, it was so funny. 
• Always staring out the window at the basketball court and yelling cat calls... shirts and skins baby! haha and always getting caught by my roommates cause i would get black nasty stuff on my nose from the screen haha "Melanie.... have you been spying on the boys again?!"
• Zach's roommate David. He is so tender. But he was so funny about curfew. He would literally start reminding us hours in advance. "Just so you guys know, only 1.5 hours til its 12."... " oh hey look, 25 minutes to 12" ha ha it was a riot.
• Angela. oh Angela. This is my roommate, some of you may refer to her as pioneer or Morticha. She has hair down to her butt, and is very molly mormon. Anyways, she was dating this kid and they were so awkward. They would hug for a ridiculous amount of time out on the front porch. Like literally they would just be in an embrace and wouldn't move. 2 of my favorite moments. 1. Zach would ALWAYS spy on them through the peephole. Even if we were watching a movie he would go stand by the door and just watch. and 2. classic moment. My roommate Hannah was about to be engaged so she was taking us to the mall to see her ring. We walked out and they were standing there hugging.. well that was awkward but we just said hi and walked by. Well after the trip to the mall and everything literally 45-50 minutes later, we pulled in and they were STILL there!! they had not moved. Still hugging away. ha ha classic. 
• Watching Christopher watch Brian Regan for the first time.. "P is for pneumonia" probably our favorite line. I've never seen anyone laugh so hard.
• Christopher demolished a bag of popcorn. Like literally started it on fire in the microwave. It gets better. In order to air out our apartment he took the microwave out into the stairwell.. and in the process broke one of Jen's bowls. ooops.. we don't like Jen. ha and the microwave sat outside for quite some time. 
• Girls Preference 2010. Sharon and I asked 2 boys from our FHE family. They are the best! I wish i had pictures of that night but i don't. 1. I got caught while asking... oops. 2. They answered with a nasty concoction that was awful and .. there was no answer inside. 3. we spray painted our hair blue (thing one and thing two). 4. I gave my date, Logan, a huge goose-egg on his forehead cause we had an unfortunate collision. fun, fun night.
• Driving Lucia's car. Gabe Bondoc.
• My roommate's boyfriend coming to building meeting and our RA got TICKED at him for talking.. ha ha funniest moment ever. Thank you Bruce.

That is all i can think of for now, but man I had a lot of good times. I miss it. I miss the people. But glad they are all on missions now. Sorry if you didn't want to hear any of that. It is probably boring to you. But it is so much easier to type than to write in my journal... and it's my blog, not yours :)
