So far in this blog, I've mostly written about what I think instead of what I do. This post is about what I did this Labor Day weekend. My undone first-week-of-school homework is still waiting for me, but I want to get this done first.
On Friday night, I went with Tyler and Beth to see Super 8. We were planning on seeing Thor, but it was sold out by the time we got there (not an uncommon occurrence for dollar theaters in college towns). It was my third time seeing it in theaters, and still totally worth it! Definitely one of the best movies released this summer.
Early Saturday morning I had a good meeting with some of the guys in my ward to take care of some assignments for church; it was accompanied by a tasty pancake and bacon breakfast! Afterward I went grocery shopping with my roommate, and then we ate the new California Whopper from Burger King... also tasty! (Though maybe not as tasty as the Texas Whopper...) Then I took care of several loads of long-overdue laundry while watching the BYU vs. Ole Miss game. What a game! Awesome way to open the season. For the evening Tyler and I planned a game night for some old friends from back home and some new friends from the ward here. Well, since it's still pretty much summer, it was still very light outside (weather was great all day, and pretty much all weekend). We decided to take advantage of the good weather while we could - we decided to play Frisbee in front of the Provo City Library. (The lighting in this picture is pretty much the same as when we played.) Once it was dark, we played some fun rounds of Bang and Psychiatrist.
Sunday was busy - I had lots of church meetings. It's kind of fun trying to get everything figured out at the beginning of the semester. I taught a lesson that went well. After church, we all got together for "Break the Fast" and had some good food. Then I went to my friend Ammon's apartment and he made some delicious fried chicken and french fries. Then we played some very close games of Clue! It was almost as good as the movie. Then I came back for Ward Prayer and linger-longer, and after that some more friends came over to play Psychiatrist again.
This morning I went and played Ultimate Frisbee at DT fields with a few people I knew and lots of people I didn't know. Even after we split into two separate games, there were still too many people on a team but it was still a blast. After that I went to a picnic with some new and old friends from the ward at Kiwanis Park. After eating some delicious food, we talked, played some more Ultimate Frisbee, and talked some more.
On top of it all, we've had a guy sleeping on our couch for the past several days. Some of our female friends are worried because Tyler and I aren't worried about knowing who he is or why he's sleeping on our couch. Well, he's usually gone before we wake up and usually gets to the apartment after we've gone to bed (we started leaving the door unlocked for him), and he hasn't killed us or stolen anything. I even let him borrow my keys once (he courteously left them on the kitchen table for me). I don't think he's planning on staying for too much longer. We found out his name is Kendall and he's a law student from the University of Arizona or something like that. His fiancee knows our roommate's fiancee-to-be really well. Obviously he needs somewhere to sleep, and I don't want him sleeping on the street, so he's more than welcome.
Overall, a super weekend! New friends, great weather, fun happenings, and Couch-friend. Now I have to go get ready for the school week. Kbye.
