I got a good job, I work hard for my money

Lyrics from the song I'm currently listening to, "Boot Scootin Boogie".

Anyway, yesterday was a fantastic day!  Chris got home from his mission:

It was awesome to be at the airport with his family and the Whatcotts for the excitement!  We went back to his house afterwards, and for a few hours, Chris just told us all about his mission.  I look forward to hanging out with one of my best buds over the next 33 days before I head out!  I get first date with him as an RM ;)

Yesterday was also kind of a wake-up call.  Since I got my mission call, I've had lots of things happen that I knew would happen.  John came home.  I went to Utah.  Temple.  Thanksgiving.  birthday.  Tiff and Sky came for Christmas.  Everyone left for school.  Chris got home. Now...the next big thing, literally, is me leaving.  I realized just how fast this next month is going to fly by.  Chris is home; this is something I've been looking forward to for (literally, 2 years) a long time...and now that's happened, and wow.  Time is flying by.  3 1/2 months ago, I got my mission call, and I thought it would be eternity before I'd be leaving, but now it's creeping up on me.  My lists of things to do are shrinking, my post-it wall is diminishing as I finish things, and I am taking care of a lot of things to get things in order.

On that note, I need to go finish my proposal for a paper for my English class.  I need to turn it in like 2 weeks ago, aka tomorrow, so I gotta get that done.  And I can't do it tonight unless I pull an all-nighter, because I have to work til 11:30.  Fun fun fun!  And it's snowing, so that's pretty awesome :)

Fortune Cookies can be profound..

So I was at work last night, at KBYU, and they fed us dinner. Sweet, free food! As a college kid with almost no money to my name, I'll gladly eat food that someone not only pays for, but pays me to eat! I've learned to like a lot of foods this way... I never used to enjoy Chinese food, but now I do. And last night, our food came from Panda Express. Seeing as I've never eaten authentic Chinese food from China, I don't know how "real" this food is, but it's pretty delicious. But that is not the point. The point is, half the fun of eating Chinese food is to read and laugh at the fortune inside the fortune cookie! Especially from Panda Express, where the fortunes are usually pretty lame, silly, or in fact MISfortunes! As I cracked my cookie open last night, my heart was pounding with anticipation... what would I get? Would it change my LIFE?!!? Okay, so I was just curious, and my heart wasn't pounding. :) I read the little slip of paper, and g...

Eu Amo Meloncia!

(NOTE:  Received on 3/30/2010) Hello family! Well, this week I did something different.  I kept a list in my agenda of things to write to y'all about, instead of just writing one on the bus on the way back from the Temple, and it is LONG!  But most of the things are just things to mention, not really to talk about.  So let me start with that! Choir last Tuesday was awesome...I played the piano of course, and the choir sang "Scripture Power".  Remember in primary when we would lift our scriptures up during the chorus?  Yeah, guess what 100 missionaries did during choir!  It was hilarious and so awesome.  We have so much fun here! Soccer here is intense.  Our teacher, Irmão Mendes, has the radio on his cell phone.  One day in class, he pulled it out, turned it on, and we listened for a few seconds to a soccer game.  Long enough to hear "GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLLLLL...
