This first one is a little random. I happen to maybe, just slightly, be in love with David Archuleta. I have since he was on American Idol, but it has been renewed lately. His music makes me happy. No matter what mood I am in, I am always in the mood to listen to a little David. Especially lately. Plus look at his smile, how can you not be happy when you see that?
Another thing that makes me happy is my friends. On Wednesday one of my old neighbors, with whom we were super close, was in Provo for a few hours and came by to visit. We got together with my old roommates Morgan and Ashley and it was so great to be together again. I was super sad when Shelley had to leave but I know that Fall semester starts in like a month so it's okay. I can't wait when all of my Fall/Winter roommates and our neighbors Sara, Jen, and Shelley can all hang out like old times.
Last summer, in my first term, I made this really amazing friend Michael Wray. He was always there for me, and I still don't know why. He is just a really amazing guy. When I am stressed or depressed I have this desire to leave, just leave wherever I am until I'm okay again. Sometimes I just take a drive, but other times the desire to leave is stronger and I can't really get rid of it no matter where I go. Michael saw me leaving one night last summer, we were already sort of friends at that time, and asked me where I was going. I honestly didn't know and I told him so. He made me come talk to him instead, and that continued throughout that Summer term and into Fall semester. Whenever I needed to leave, I went and talked to Michael instead. And he always listened. I have no idea why, we had a class together and we were in the same ward, but there wasn't really any reason for him to be so nice to me, but he was, because he is just an amazing person. He helped me with so many things, and we had a lot of fun together. Anyway, he has been on a mission in the Denver, Colorado North mission since late January. When I want to run away and leave now, sometimes I still take that drive to nowhere, but I also sit down and write him a letter. Even though most of the time I don't actually tell him what is stressing me out (he has enough to deal with), just knowing that he will read it and care makes me feel better. However, he is terrible at writing back, but I forgive him for that.
I don't think I would be making it through this summer without my lovely roommate Laura. She's such a fun person to be around. We have been slightly anti-social this summer and not really made any new friends so most nights we just sit in our apartment on our computers. But we talk a lot in all of this. And we go to get froyo together when we feel a need for sweets. She makes me laugh because she honestly has more clothes than anyone else I've ever met. She never stops buying them! Granted, the majority of them she gets from second hand stores and saves a lot of money, but she honestly doesn't have space to contain them all. They spill over from her half of the closet and her drawers onto shelves right outside our room. She also loves them, she probably tries on 4 different outfits before she leaves in the morning, all of which are adorable, and then when she comes home from work she will probably try on another 4 or so throughout the course of the evening. She is probably super embarrassed reading this, but I find it endearing. I love all of her outfits, and her clothes. They're fun. Also when my sister Moriah was in town she was really helpful in my attempts to entertain her. We went to a blog reading thingy that Stephanie Nielson read at and I pushed her to meet her, because basically nienie is her hero. It was really inspiring, and made me think about motherhood in a little more favorable light, (sometimes I have issues with it, but that's a post for another day). Anyway, I'm so glad that I have been her roommate this Summer. It's been fabulous.
