Balderdash, Bowling, and Basking...

in the sun while cloud watching. Ah, life is amazing. Short recap of this weekend: Four wheeling. Picnic. Cloud Watching. Talking, laughing helping. OMGOSH it was SOOO funny: After four wheeling at Yankee Meadows, B-rad and I decided to go to Parowan and lay a blanket out and cloud watch. (Was my idea, p.s.). As we get out of his ah-sum truck, we hear this old guy across the street yelling for help! I was like, B-rad, let's go help him out. His electronic wheelchair had gotten stuck in the dirt and B-rad saved the day and pushed him out! Apparently that man had been stuck for 1.5 hrs, but it only took us a few minutes to help him. We were freaking CRACKING UP about it as we cloud watched...I dunno, is that mean? That poor guy all helpless...but we were definitely happy to have helped him!!

Got home at 4:30 p.m., showered, beautified, Pastry Pub'd (B-rad had never been there so I took 'im). Fireproofed/massaged. BOWLED with L.C. and Ryan. Bowling was way fun. Ain't better days made than the one I had on Saturday.

Sunday: I woke up early to prepare my talk because I had had literally no time the whole past week. Walked in 5 minutes late :-( It's okay though, I looked amazing at least. And that is saying something coming from myself! I am my own worst critic! My talk on prayer went really, really well. Many people came up to me after the meeting telling me how great it was. I used this poem in it, and I couldn't make it through without crying. After the block, one girl came up and told me about her nonmember friend who listened to my talk and afterwards remarked that it was like, the best thing he had ever heard. I felt so blessed and touched. It is things like that that remind me how much love the Lord has for me.

After church, went and helped B-rad's mom prep dinner. B-rad and I read, "You Are Special" and I cried and he almost cried also. Then we began to read Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe, because I told him of my desires to read to my children all the time when I am a mother. We are going to switch off who reads aloud between chapters. It will be really good because those books are so symbolic and analogous to the Gospel.

Fireside last night. Kindof awk. because the guy talked about marriage and was like, "don't give backrubs bla bla bla" Dude. B-rad and I have been so good, don't make us feel guilty for nothing we did. Personally, I don't think there is anything wrong with backrubs. >:O

Played Balderdash last night at The Big Fun House. I came in 2nd to last. Lol, that game is hard, but now that I know some strategy I think I'd do better. After we all played, the Boys went and played R.B. and the Girls went and chatted it up about all the Drama.

So, there is a girl that is madly in love with B-rad. She didn't even stay in Sunday School yesterday because he and I were sitting with each other. She is pretty fragile. But anyway, there is just drama with her and jacob and ryan (two of B-rad's good friends). And then David (I saw Henry V with) was all touching my elbow and sat next to me and totally shut B-rad down last night. Frankly, the competition is hilarious to watch, in my opinion. But the convo was SOOOOOOO great; I love Deb and R-Stah now!

Saw J this morning. :D Made some goals. 875. No sca. Mom myself. Those are code words for my goals I am so trickyyyyyy. I recapped the past couple weeks for her...I can't believe how much has happened in such a short time. Love talking to J. A lot. A lot. A lot. You get the picture.
