I'm Glad You Came...(Music Reference)..The Wanted

Oh my goodness... :)  I went to IHOP last night for free pancake day! ooooohhhh maaannn!! It was so scrumptious I would kill!  Hahaha! ....Okay, Not really GEEZ! :P  But yes it was funny, because yesterday was kinda a weird day... then I got home... and SURPRISE!!! I have 2 letters!!  One from Elder Hans Haroldsen and Elder Brooks Browning! :)  Man, it totally made my day!! :)  Hans letter was pretty straight forward and to the point.  Haha!  I guess with me being extremely wordy and expressive, it was a little bit of a let down.  But Hey!!  He does write really good letters!  He is probably just super busy with all that crazy hard work he's doin down there :)  Well, at least, I hope he is :)  And Brooks.  Hahaha!  It's actually a pretty great story with how I know this kid :)  Well, I met Tanner, his younger brother, in my Junior seminary class and took him on a spur of the moment date!  And at our Mother's Day Devotional, we found our mom's dad's taught seminary together AND in high school they went on a Heritage Trip together!  SSAYYY WHAAA!!???  oh wait the story gets better...  So yeah, I knew OF Brooks because I knew Tanner, but then about 4 months ago, my uncle came to visit from Eden Prairie, Minnesota and said, "hey, I know someone from Shelley!  I said really who? He said his name starts with a 'b' and he was home-schooled..." I asked in a slow-like curious manner, "Browning??" "Yeah!" He responded.  Turns out, Brooks served in my uncles ward!  My uncle is the Bishop of that ward!  SMALL WORLD!!  Twice in one lifetime with the same two families but different sides???!!!  How does this all even work out!?  Haha!!  I love things like that!!  So, I wrote Brooks to say hey guess what, I know your family and your family knows mine, plus now we have an actual connection!  Haha!  I wasn't really expecting anything back from it, but hey I got one of THEE GREATEST letters of the history of great letters!!  :)  I liked it a lot.  So, I wrote back saying, hey thanks for the awesome letter and hope all is well, with some other cool spiritual insights, and we have been writing back and forth since Decemberish :)  It makes me happy!!  He writes some good letters!  So does Tanner!!  I seriously love that family!  How many times can I say that on my blog before it gets creepy ;)  haha!!  Yeah, it is pretty great!  But yeah, so I wrote Brooks back and sent it this morning.  But, I haven't finished Hans yet!  I am kinda wishing that the letters might get longer from him because out of all the missionaries I have been writing his are the shortest.  Not that I really care, he's just so important to me and I put soooo much effort in making his letters really enjoyable, spiritual, with a pinch of awesomeness and I get 2 1/2 paragraphs.... :P  Well, I guess you may say, he's just the typical guy, but he's so much more!!  He is one amazing guy!! :) I am just saying! :)  So, after I went home and worked on my homework a little bit after devotional, which was pretty amazing, if I may say so myself, Kenz burst into our day and said wanna go to IHOP?  We said sure!!  :)  So we hopped into her car and when we went to the freeway me and Kayla asked, wait where are we going? haha!  Well, the only IHOP around is in Idaho Falls, DURR!!!  Haha!!  So yeah.  It was great!  Hayley O'Brian and I talked in the back seat talking about fun dates we should go on the ENTIRE way!!  It was fun!!  Then, when we got to IHOP 7 of us sat in the booth.  Kayla Hansen, Kenzi Ch...Joh...Leonardson (P.S. kenz you know I love you!! I had to :D), Hayley O'Brian, Rachael Versey, Ash (Rach's Roomie), Grant, and I!! :)  It was the funnest I have had in a while :)  haha!!  It was filled with footsies, jokes, syrup, eggs, and just laughs GALORE!!  :)  We were definitely the loud group in the whole place. One of the guys that worked there said we were the funniest group so far that entire day!  It was so much fun!!  Then on the way home we listened to music, even Grant backed us up on a hymn with some beat-boxing! It was fun!! :)  We even had some times of closeness and rubbing shoulders (if your catching the drift I am sending your way everyone) ;)  It was fun!!  Then we went and worked out, got home had some cereal, watched Seinfield and The Tuxedo with Jackie Chan!  :P  Haha!!  It was pretty late before me and Kayla finally got to bed!  I just got to say..... I love college!!  SOOO MUCH!!  :)  Well, tomorrow I am doing a 24 hour fast to figure out the best option for my new major....  Or maybe I'm just doubting... We'll have to see!  Then a temple trip Friday morning, and possibly afternoon!  Is that okay to go to the temple twice in one day??  I would think so :)  Haha!!  Well then my Grand Piano thing on Saturday... EEEEPPPPP!!!! SOOOOO FREAKING NERVOUS!!! :P  I hope I do well.... :)  Now to find my outfit!
Well, goodbye for now home-skillets :)
