Bosom Friends

This weekend my roommates and I decided to flee Rexburg (Who wants to spend Valentine's Day in couple central?). Marisa is from Orem so Kimberly, Janelle, and I went home with her. Elise planned to go with us but Will(her missionary) came home and she decided to spend the weekend with him...we missed her but are super excited for her!!! The freshman will get married before the rest of us. ;) Well, our weekend was FABULOUS!!! We got arrived in Orem around 8 PM and Janelle, KP, and I went on a blind date set up for us by my sister of a different mister Jessie. We made sugar cookies and played Wacky Six! It was a blast! We returned to Marisa's around 12:30 and Holly our roommate from last year was waiting for us. She spent the night with us.
Valentine's Day dawned foggy and snowy! We'd planned on showing KP around BYU since she'd never been, but walking was definately out of the picture. So we gave her a short tour in Marisa's car and visited the BYU Bookstore. Marisa's parents treated us to lunch at Red Robins...yum! I wish there was one in Rexburg! After lunch we decided to hit Provo Mall and do some shopping. We hit some pretty good sales so I was in heaven!!! I didn't buy anything that cost more than $10 so I didn't feel too bad spending money. When we were done at the mall there was still one more store we needed to go to...my FAVORITE and weakness....OLD NAVY! I go crazy in Old Navy especially if there is a clearence. I bought a shirt for $1.99. Mission Accomplished! After shopping Marisa took us to an amazing ice cream place called Hello Yogurt. Anyone who lives near Orem GO THERE! There are 6 different flavors and a million toppings. What you do is pick a bowl size and then fill it with whatever flavor/s you want and then choose any toppings you want. They then weigh it and you pay 38 cents an ounce. I chose cheesecake and topped it with kiwis and strawberries. DELICIOUS!!!!!
Valentine's Night Marisa, KP, and I ate a yummy dinner prepared by Marisa's mom, had a dance party in the kitchen, and watched Anne of Green Gables. I haven't watched that movie in ages but I totally fell in love with it again. We laughed all night long! It was amazing and we are now all bosom friends, kindred spirits, and have decided that someday our Gilbert Blithes will come (I'm Sawry, Anne...sigh). So all in all my Valentine's Day was pretty good!
On Sunday KP and I went to church with Jessie. I had a hard time concentrating during sacrament meeting because it was held in a dance studio with mirrors on two walls(I get very distracted always looking at myself in the mirror) When we returned Marisa's mom had made us a wonderful dinner of roast, potatoes, carrots, fruit salad, and rolls. Then KP, Janelle, and I watched Anne of Avonlea...
Today on our way home we stopped in Draper and attended the Draper Temple Open House. It is absolutely beautiful! Of course all Temples are beautiful but it is always fun to be able to go through them, especially when I'm restricted to the Baptismal font usually. That was a nice little treat.
So the weekend was GREAT, full of fun, bosom friends, and yummy home cooked food. I ate so much, it's time to hit the gym! Here are some pictures from our adventures...
Me and KP, we are truly kindred spirits that we can read each others minds! :) the middle picture is of us in our new workout clothes!
