Well Thursday I had to say goodbye to my boys. I loved spending my summer with them! I learned so much about how to take care of kids and myself! So here's my Top 5 list of what I learned:
1. I can actually sorta draw! (What? Me? Crazy, I know.)
2. Kids pick up on the things you say...and repeat them.
3. It's really not that difficult to eat healthy food
once you've got it in your fridge.
4. Identical twins DO NOT have identical personalities!
5. Washing the dishes isn't that bad if you don't
let them pile up! (;
On Friday I went to the State Fair with my friend Amanda and it was so much fun! Maybe a little too much fun... (; We saw lots of animals and we (mostly Amanda) fell in love with the bunnies. "They're so fluffy I'm gonna die!!!" The horses freaked us out a little...long story haha...and the pigs were just really fat. Cute fat...but still fat. Then we had some fair food including (heavenly) chocolate covered oreos. If you haven't had one, get one from the South Bend Chocolate Factory downtown Indianapolis on Monument Circle! I was gonna try some fried cookie dough but I couldn't see the end of the line. Not worth it. So I stuck with an elephant ear (: Now if you know me well, you should know by now that if it's past about 8 o'clock and you put sugar in my system, I turn back into a child...so what better way to end the night than riding a kiddie ride?? It was a blast to say the least. I'm gonna miss that girl!
Then on Saturday I went to the zoo with my friends Jake and Misato. It was super nice out which was great, except it was super crowded too! So we tried to take a weird route through the zoo to avoid the crowds...it sorta worked haha. My favorite was actually probably the birds. Because they actually moved...haha. I love zoo animals as much as the next person, but they're a lot cooler when they aren't sleeping! (; I also found out that Misato never learned what sound a Sea Lion makes because when it started barking (or whatever you call it) she started getting worried asking me if something was wrong haha. Feel free to make fun of her for that (;
Now the highlight of my week. Elder Holland came to our stake! If you're not Mormon you have no idea who that is, so I'll explain. Our church has a Prophet and 12 Apostles (like the Apostles from when Jesus was on Earth). The Prophet and Apostles can receive revelation from God for the entire world, and Jeffrey R. Holland is one of them. I think that's a pretty big deal, and it's an even bigger deal if you get to be in the same room as one of them! So this weekend our local church leadership was being reorganized for the Indianapolis area which only happens about once every decade, which has to be done by the proper authority, which is why Elder Holland came! I feel so blessed to have been able to hear from him! You can tell he has a testimony of the gospel the second he walks in the room. Above are some of my favorite quotes from him this weekend (:
Sunday night, to end an amazing weekend, I got to watch the "Whodunnit" season finale...all by myself. While the rest of my family was sleeping because they had to go to school or seminary in the morning, I cuddled up with my only friend for the night, my teddy bear, and watched my favorite show! If you haven't watched "Whodunnit", it's on Hulu! Watch it!
