I Love my Family of Friends

This past weekend was truly amazing.  I was able to go "cabin-ing" with the best friends I could ever ask for.  I truthfully was a little worried about it, but I don't even remember why now.  It also slightly stressed me out that I found out a few of my residents were really sick right as I was leaving.  I felt like I was abandoning them in their greatest time of need...not really, but close to it.  Anyway, we drove up to Richfield to meet up with Katelin, Tiana, Bryce, and Joey.  We stopped at Cyd's and I got to talk with Brett (holy moly I don't know why I have a crush on that boy.. but I do).  Then we headed off to Kate's cabin!  It was pretty much a hilarious drive up.  Partway there Brian started flashing his brights at us, so we flashed ours at Cyd so that we could all pull over.  Really nothing was wrong, just Brian's car full was dancing and being funny.  Then a little while later Cyd almost hit a deer.  She slowed down enough that by the time she reached it she only gave it a little smack on the butt, but it was still a pretty scary thought.  When we got to the cabin it was freezing cold outside and snowing.  But the cabin warmed right up and we cooked pizza, played Wackee Six, and Just Dance on the Wii.  Some how it was all the sudden 3 in the morning... Kylei, Tiana, and I decided to go to bed.  Kylei fell right asleep, but me and T ended up talking and laughing until probably 4:30.  And nobody heard us.  But I swear we were so loud.  It was the best.  Saturday we all woke up really late and made french toast for breakfast.  Then we headed down to Fishlake where we hung out and took pictures and threw snowballs.  The rest of the day was just relaxing and having fun!  We had Hawaiian haystacks for dinner and played Suck & Blow and Truth or Dare.  It was really just a game of Dare though. And holy moly the things we dared each other.  It was really nasty in all honesty but a ton of fun.  We went to bed really late again and then cleaned up the cabin and headed out the next morning.  When Kate and myself stopped at her house to shower before church we found out we were locked out.  So we headed to her backyard to see if we could maybe pop a window open.  Her dog Kia is the craziest dog I've ever met!  And I'm scared of dogs.  Needless to say we couldn't open any windows so Kate's dad came and opened the garage and then we got ready.  We went to the single's ward in Richfield and then back to Kate's where her mom, Polly, had made the most delicious dinner ever.  I can't even begin to you guys how much I love Kate's family.  They treat me like I'm their own daughter and are just too kind.  I love them to bits and pieces.

Honest to goodness though, my friends down here at school are my family and I couldn't have asked for any better.  The girls are such great examples and are so funny.  Then there's those absolutely amazing Taco Boys.  Seriously, everyone is just the best ever.  I don't understand how they're that awesome and why I deserve them.  But I love each and every one of them for their unique personalities and the light and laughter they bring to my life.  Thanks everyone for the fantastic weekend and I love you all!!!
