Project

So I have two roommates getting married on Labor Day weekend. Yay!!! It's so exciting, but it'll be a crazy hectic weekend. Let me take you through the tentative schedule that I will have that weekend.

Thursday 2nd:

-Pick up Kaeleen and Ellisha from the airport around 10:30, drive back to Provo

Friday 3rd:

-Drive up to Salt Lake for Heather and Brandon's wedding at 9:40 I believe

-Take pictures probably starting around 10:30ish

-Finish taking pictures and go to the luncheon

-Probably hang out in Salt Lake all afternoon until the reception (there's no need to drive back and forth from Provo multiple times that day...)

-Reception from 7-9

-Leave straight from the reception to drive up to Seattle

Saturday 4th:

-Drive all through the night and get to the Seattle Temple hopefully by about 10 or 10:30 so we're there when they come out

-Pictures for Ellisha and Jake's wedding

-Luncheon

-Drive up to Ellisha's house for the reception later that night

-Reception (i'm not sure when yet)

-Either stay at her parents house or drive down to some friends house that just moved to Seattle

Sunday 5th:

-Go to church in the morning

-Explore Seattle for a bit (as much as we can do on a Sunday)

-Drive to Jill's house

-Spend Sunday evening with Jill and her family

Monday 6th:

-Play with Jill!!

Tuesday 7th:

-Drive back to Provo

Doesn't that sound like such a fun weekend?! I'm actually really excited, but it's just going to be a lot of time in the car.

Anyway, let me talk about this project that I have. So I am not much of a sewer. My mom has helped me make a lot of stuff, but basically she puts it together and tells me what to sew. It's been a great experience, but I don't really know how to read a pattern and what all I need to do and don't need to do. For Ellisha's wedding, she wants us to wear yellow and purple. I don't have anything that I really want to wear, so I decided that I'd like to make a yellow skirt and just buy a purple sweater. However, I couldn't find a pattern that I really liked of a skirt, so I decided to make a dress! I have no idea how I'm going to do this..... I will most definitely need a lot of help. But I'm super excited to see how it turns out! I got this golden yellow colored fabric and it's this really cute dress pattern that basically has a pencil skirt with a top. I'll have to include pictures once I actually start it. I will probably be calling my mom a lot in the next few days to get her help, but practice makes perfect, right?

Yay for weddings and yay for sewing projects! It's all very exciting!

High Expectations

Has there ever been something that you have really looked forward to? I'll admit, I tend not to get my hopes up very often. I just have had a lot on my plate recently, so I've been more serious about stuff than normal. I just graduated and had to decide whether to stay in Utah or not (I'm staying, at least for the next year), where to move, what to do for work this next year and other things as well. But anyway, I haven't let many things get my hopes up.

There was an exception this summer though!

And then my hopes were shattered and thrown all over the ground.... Haha, ok. Maybe that's a little drastic, but still, it was close to that. The last few years, Provo city has played these movies at Rock Canyon Park every Monday in August. Every time that I have gone, it has always been these old movies. Whether they were classics or just old movies that were entertaining, it didn't matter. It was cool to go and sit on a blanket with friends and watch this old school movie. Last summer they played Ten Little Indians, Arsenic and Old Lace, the Man Who Knew Too Little, and The Nutty Professor (the 1963 version). I also remember them playing Charade, but I can't remember if that was last year or a previous year. It was such a cool tradition!

Who would want to change that? Apparently, old movies weren't good enough for Provo City anymore. They decided that this year, they're going to show Romantic Comedies. Don't get me wrong, I love cheesy romantic comedies. I probably love them more than a lot of girls. But that was why I loved the movies in the park. It was something different from what I normally watch! I'll still go, most likely every week, but it just won't be the same. It'll still be fun to go watch a movie in the park and cuddle up next to a cute boy, but I would enjoy it so much more if they were movies that I hadn't seen before....

I guess there's always next year!
