So far I've been trying to think about something post-worthy for what I've done since my last posts. In general I've done a few small things but nothing monumental. That's really what comprises a lot of our lives anyway, so I'll just mention a few fun things that have occupied my summer time.
You probably saw the previews for the Zomromcom (Zombie-Comedy-Romance) called Warm Bodies that came out a while ago, and I went and saw it and absolutely loved it. When I left the theater to walk to the car with my friends I felt my younger side take over and walked like a zombie across the parking lot to the car. One friend kind of did it with me, but I wanted my sisters with me because they're crazier than I am and would go ALL OUT zombie with me. We weren't able to schedule a day where all three of us could go to the theaters so instead, when it came out on blu-ray I bought it and had a Zombie-Pizza night! We looked awesome.
You can't tell, but I was totally proud of the holes I ripped into this shirt.
Then my ward combined with another singles ward to go to the Manti Temple to do baptisms or sessions and then see the Manti Temple Pageant that evening. As cheesy as the pageants are script wise, the message is still very true and made me cry. I feel bad for the protesters (though I only saw 2) because with a powerful message like it has, how can you not know it's true and make me want to change my beliefs? Anyway, I was very glad that my friend Alicen came with me since she was the only other girl from my ward that I really knew to hang out with. And one of our favorite parts of the night was when we found out the Manti Hotel served ice cream!! I got a waffle cone with root beer on the bottom (an awesome classic) and black licorice on top!!! I was soooo excited about the licorice ice cream!! It even was amazing with the root beer ice cream even though it doesn't sound like a natural combo.
The last thing to happen to me so far this summer was being asked to volunteer in the Jordan River Temple as an ordinance worker!! I was flat out shocked because when I talked to my bishop in December that was the last I heard of anything. And I had actually been hoping to be a receptionist and just usher people around. But it'll be more fun as a OW since I'll actually be more active in helping people. So far the blessings are already phenomenal and I've only done this for 3 weeks! But I'm a fast learner and they're putting me to good work.
So far I'm just sad I haven't managed to go hiking. I'm hoping to fix that soon but my crazy schedule isn't making it easy!
