I Found My Keys

Today in class I was chatting with this guy next to me. He told me he'd been married for almost a year, and he never thought he'd be married so young. Then he gave me this analogy: He asked me if I'd ever lost my keys and then kept looking for them once I found them. I said of course not, and he said that's like finding your other half, you don't keep looking once you've found it.

I hope my future husband says cute things like that to strangers when we're married. I could tell he really loved his wife.

I'm Back!!

Yes, I know it's been over a MONTH since I have blogged and I really don't have an excuse other than I had a little break and felt like doing nothing, then life got really busy. But anyway I have a lot to update the 3 people who read this blog.
We'll start with Laurent's birthday! He turned 21 at the end of August! His birthday was the first day of school so we celebrated a little early. The weekend before we went to Jackson Hole and went whitewater river rafting! It was his first time, and we had SO much fun! We bought a few of the pictures and a frame that has Snake River written on it. It is now hanging on the wall in his apartment. Later that weekend we went to Las Vegas for my cousin's wedding, then back to Logan just in time for him to start school. On his birthday I made him a home-cooked meal! Props to me, right? He said he liked it so let's hope he wasn't lying. It has been so nice to spend more than a weekend at a time with him. I'm used to seeing him for 3 days once a month, I'm so happy he's a little closer to me now.
Next, I moved to Salt Lake City. It's been a little hard adjusting to living here-in such a big city, but I'm making the best of it. School has started, and so far so good.
There are a lot of strange people who live in this city. I had the pleasure of coming into one on one contact with one of them. Next to my place of employment there is a salon, I decided to go get my hair trimmed after work one day, I walk in and the first red flag is a middle aged Asian man running the front desk. I'm in no way raciest because in other lines of cosmetology work, Asian's kill at doing nails. But for some reason this looked a little suspect to me. He seemed really excited to see me, and practically pushed me down on the chair and told me to wait-only five minutes! About ten minutes later I see him coming my way with a grocery bag in hand. He hands me the bag and says, "This for you!" I look inside and to my horror there are about 7 rotten bananas! I politely thank him, although in my head I'm thinking, WTF? I wait about five more minutes and decide to make a break for it. When his back is turned I quickly dash out the door, leaving the bananas behind. I expected to see him running after me in my rear-view mirror as I drove away, but luckily I had escaped. I guess I was too scared to let someone cut my hair who offered me black bananas as a treat.
Anyway, those are the highlights of the last few weeks. I could include a lot more, but I promise to start blogging regularly now. It’ll be easy with school back in session cause it seems I can always find something better to do than homework.
P.S. Keep checking back, because I might have a guest author writing here in the near future!
