Recap

One would think I am having a pretty boring day seeing as this is my second blog post, but one would be thinking wrong! This entire weekend has been busy busy busy. I have been on the go the entire time and I have loved every single second of it.
On Friday Me, Derick, and his Mom headed down to west point for the weekend.  Derick's mom was going to a conference down there and Derick had someone from his mission who wanted to meet up with us for lunch around the same area on saturday, so we decided to go down with her! Friday night was a night full of no plans but we managed to make the best of it and live spontaneously for a little. We hung out with 5 of his cousins for awhile and I forgot how much energy little kids have.  They had the cutest puppy whom I wanted to take home with me.  Every single time the dog, Diesel, would jump up on me Luke, the second to youngest, would exclaim "He wants to hold you! He wants to hold you!" In the most excited voice.  I had to explain to him I didn't think the dog could hold me because it was too small but him saying that really was cute enough to melt my heart a little. Kids are great.

After we had had our dose of children we decided to go out for a night on the town.  We are poor college students with no money so we are always looking for something cheap/free.  He had a gift card for $2 towards Coldstone and I had a $5 off coupon so we, of course, headed there.  We didn't have quite enough coupons for it to cost us nothing but the employee made a mistake with the register he couldn't fix so he told us we would have to deal with getting free ice cream. We love free stuff! No complaining there.

Next, we decided to hit up the Mall.  Sad to say, although I only live an hour away I have never been to this mall.  I always end up going to the one an hour and a half away.  It was pretty decent and I could see myself making a trip there again to get my shop on.  We both left empty handed because, like I said, we are poor, but we had some fun window shopping!

Derick just so happened to Really want to take a picture with me in
front of Victoria's Secret. I'm smart enough to know
exactly what he was up to. 

Derick's best friend from the mission only lives 15 or so minutes away from west point so next up on our agenda was meeting up with him.  He told us to meet him at a rock climbing place which was supposedly very close to where we were. I plugged it into the GPS and it was actually 18 miles away.  Oh well, we drove there anyway.  We get there and leave 5 minutes later to drive to Tanner's house which is.. lets say 25 miles away, in the direction we had just come from.  Extreme back tracking but it was all good.  I could tell Derick was so happy to be reunited with him.  I think they are the definition of bromance.  Hanging out with the two of them kind of makes me feel like the 3rd wheel. Kinda creepy/cute.  We hung out at his house for an hour or two with a bunch of his friends.  It was fun but I started struggling to stay awake so around midnight we decided to call it a night and head back to Derick's Aunt and Uncles.

The next morning we had a late start due to sleeping in and lazing around which is perfectly fine because a little extra sleep was much needed.  At noon we headed out to meet up with Sister Moyes, a lady from Derick's mission who he gotten along with very well.  We ate lunch while he caught up with her, and I got to know her.  It is so much fun meeting people from Derick's mission and hearing even more stories I haven't heard before. 

We really didn't have very many ideas of what to do next.  We decided to go back to the mall where we could hopefully find something to add to Derick's slowly growing wardrobe and a birthday present for his Nephew.  We, once again, left empty handed.  Derick is so picky when it comes to clothes! 

We were sitting at a stop light on our way back to his relatives when all of a sudden we heard a loud smash and our car jolted a little.  We had been rear ended.  Derick immediately got out of the car to see the damage and the lady who had rear ended asked, as if annoyed, if there was any damage. No apologies, nothing. This could make for a great long story but this is already making out to be long so I will do the readers digest version.   Lady has bad attitude so Derick decides to call the cops to file a report.  Shady lady asking for our insurance information when it was her fault could maybe lead to her trying to turn it around on us. Derick would have none of that.  Cop comes and is immediately annoyed with the "bad attitude Lady".  I'm lucky Derick was there because he handled everything perfectly and I am horrible at confrontation. I kept my door locked the entire time because I was scared she would come and start yelling at me.   We eventually got it all taken care of and the cop wrote her a citation for distracted driving, which he normally wouldn't have done, but because of her bad attitude he decided it was best.  

Waiting for the cop to take care of things.  

We eventually got back to pick up his Mom from his grandma's then we hit the road to head back to good ol' cache valley.  We were running a little late due to the fender bender so I had to rush home to do my Little Sister's hair and make up for the sweethearts dance.  I made it just in time and I finished her up just in time to make it to Jackson, Derick's nephew's, 3rd birthday party.  

He was too excited about all the new toys to hold still for a picture

We then met up with a bunch of friends at Winger's.  Winger's two times in one day.. we didn't order anything.  I think that would've been a little too excessive especially considering we had just finished eating at fredrico's.   After everyone was done eating we loaded up our cars and headed to a comedy club.  I can't remember the name of it. Maybe Laugh out Loud? No idea.  But it really was hilarious.  I don't think I have ever laughed so hard. 

Derick had the great idea to appear to be laughing since we were
at a comedy club.  Of course he was the only one who went
all out on it. 

The rest of the night was fun, I won't get into very many details about it though because I don't want this to get extremely lengthy.

Sunday: Super bowl sunday to be exact.  I attended church, went home, and then headed to my dear friend Jenn's 22nd birthday party.  It was a lot of fun, but unfortunately me and Derick were pushed for time so we couldn't stay too long. Happy Birthday, Jenn!! 

Bounce house!

I Mustache you a question.

We went back to Derick's and made some Salsa for the Super Bowl party.  My favorite thing about the super bowl is definitely the food.  I'm pretty sure I ate enough to feed a family of 7.  Also, I am not a huge football fan and I have never had a "team", but I always like to choose a random team to root for and my choice just so happened to win after an extremely intense, close game. Superbowl success.
