Provo sweet Provo

OK, I'm back in Provo, and it's been pretty chill, yet I've gotten a lot done. Leesa and I got books yesterday, paid tuition, and went shopping, among other fun things. Today I got my background check started for the El Ed application process, which includes getting my fingerprints taken. It was fun, and it was the guy's first time doing it, so he had a bit of a rough time getting the machine to read my prints right. It was awesome. I also got free breakfast at work this morning, leftovers from a staff thing.
I wrote Tim last night, which I haven't done for about a month. It was fun, and I think he's a nice boy. Today Lord Hecklepeck wrote me, and I wrote him back, but it was intentionally boring. I'm trying to make it so he won't want to write me back, because the only way I'll stop is if he stops first. Is my logic faulty? It's fun to talk to him, but it's hard, you know? So I figure I'll wait until I meet all the guys in my ward, then see what happens.
Shout out to Shelley. My first day back in Provo, I already missed you. Tickets for the World of Dance went on sale, and my cultural events buddy is gone. =( But you were totally right about John Mayer's Contiuum. Boomshadow!
I got a haircut today, and I love it. Pictures shall follow shortly.

Home sweet Home

Well, everyone. I'm back in good ol' Redlands. It's been very exciting, going to church, chillin at home, getting my teeth cleaned. Oh, and beginning the Twilight book. I can't really talk about it with Carlie yet, because I tell her where I am, and she asks me if I've gotten to this part yet, Which inevitably gives something away because I have in fact not gotten there yet. Silly Carlie. I mostly just tell Mom where I am and she makes her crazy excited smile at me. I like it.
The drive down with the Mackelprangs was perhaps one of the funnest rides ever. We laughed talked slept ate listened to music told secrets and stories and had many other adventures. The trade off to Dad was a little rough on me, because Dad just wanted to whisk me away, maybe not realizing that it was making me so sad. Eric felt the dad fear too, and gave me a quick hug and a see ya later. In the car with Dad I was holding back tears the whole time. I came home and cried it out to Mom who was lovely and made me feel better to just have someone to tell it all to. I was fine after that and ended up having lots of fun adventures with the fam. Long story short, all can breathe easy. I'm not engaged.
I've been trying to load my pics from birthday-baby James- Eric day-Miscellaneous, but the computer is having some arguments with my camera right now, so we'll try to get that resolved soon.
I can't wait to start the major adventures of this trip. And I'm excited to have Shelley and Rick coming, and truly devastated to not have Holly and Caleb coming. I Know! Holly and Caleb, just jump on the scoo-scoo and come up for the weekend! Perfect. =)
Anyways, the Olympics are awesome and fun as always. Michael Phelps and team's second gold medal was so so so so so dramatic. I loved it. I just feel so magical about the Olympics.
I shall end on this note: I love home cooked food.
