Good Friends are Good for your Health

Last night was so much fun. I haven't had that much of a social life lately. I basically just work and sleep and eat and workout. But I did have an awesome date last weekend, and then last night was another fun night. My friend Cassie had to go to this choir concert for one of her classes at BYU-I, so I decided to go with her, so I drove up to Rexburg. I went up early so we could get some dinner before and have time to just hang out and talk since we hadn't seen each other in a while. We ended up going to dinner at this little shop downtown called "Uptown Bagels" that was SO GOOD! They make these really delicious sandwiches on bagels with cheeses and meats and cream cheeses that are just to die for. After that we walked around downtown a bit checking out the cool stores. We found this apartment complex right in the middle of downtown and all the stores that had really cool wallpaper that we wanted to look at and take pictures of (hence the pictures of us with the cool wallpaper behind us). Yeah, it's kind of random, but it was really fun! After that we stopped at "The Cocoa Bean" to get a cupcake! It is a very cute shop that have these huge, delicious cupcakes. Seriously, they are so good. I have decided that I really want to open my own little cupcake/cookie shop and make it all cute and trendy like that. I think that would be so much fun to do. After that we headed over to campus for the concert. That choir concert was one of the most choreographed, entertaining concert I have ever been to! Usually I get kind of bored at choir concerts, but that one was good and funny and held most of my attention most of the time. :) HAHAThe initial plan for after the concert was to meet up with our friend Dusty and some of his friends to have a bon fire, but it had snowed ALL day so that ended up getting cancelled, but we still all hung out together. Cassie and I met them all over at the bowling alley in town. There was a big group of us, and they already had a game going, so we just watched and had our own little dance party while they bowled. Dusty did have me bowl once for him on one of his turns, but I totally got a gutter ball and so I don't think he wanted me to bowl for him anymore. :) But us girls had a great time having our dance party and getting strange looks from everyone in the alley. We requested a song "Spice Up Your Life" by the Spice Girls and couldn't leave before they played it. The DJ finally played it right when we were about to go, so we stayed and had a whole dance we did in front of the entire bowling alley. Really. Everyone was watching us. It was awesome! Best time ever! And then at the end of the song, we ran out.

Dusty then invited us to go over to his friend Brad's apartment to watch "Vantage Point" with everyone. That is a good movie. It drives me crazy though with all the rewinding, but since I had seen it before, it was totally better the second time since I knew what was going on. Well, at the end of the movie, it was curfew time (good ol' Honor Code) so we headed out the door. Cassie dropped me off where I parked my car (well, I actually had taken our friend's Jetta cause my car is being really dumb and I didn't trust taking it to Rexburg). I got in the car, and I couldn't go anywhere cause the clutch was completely pushed in and I could not get it out at all to get it in gear. (Man, I am really having the worst luck with cars right now!). Cassie had already driven off so I called Dusty to come help me! He came with his friends Brad and Jason. Jason got in the car, and got it started, clutch unstuck, and driving in under 10 seconds. I felt SO STUPID! Thank goodness they were able to come help me cause I don't know what else I would have done at 1:30 in the morning. They then invited me to go to Denny's with them, so I followed them back to Idaho Falls making sure my car wasn't going to do anything else stupid, and spent the next couple hours at Denny's where we were really loud, really crazy, and really embarrassing, but isn't that what you are SUPPOSED to do when you go to Denny's at 2am?! :)

So, that was my Friday night! It was a lot of fun and I am so glad that I have such awesome friends here! Sorry, this was so long and maybe a little boring, but at least I have a LITTLE excitement in my life right now. haha. Gotta go. General Conference is about to start again! It's been SO GOOD so far!

Michael Scott: Jim, you're next. Who would you do?
Jim Halpert: Ummm... Kevin, hands down. Yeah, he's really got that teddy bear thing going on, and afterwards we could, just watch bowling.
