Friday, Tuesday, Wednesday = Best Friend Days

I've had the coolest opportunity to spend tons of time with my best friends this last week, and here are some of our adventures:

FRIDAY!!

 Girls Night at my friend Shelley's. We made dinner, played one of my favorite card games Nerts, and watched a movie that was promptly halted half-way through after discovering it was rated R and finished with more Nerts and cookies! Thing about the movie was that I've seen it several times on TV and didn't find anything bad so I didn't even consider it when we decided to watch it.

Shelley and Christine Teamed up for Nerts.

Celisse and Allison also teamed up for Nerts.

Before we realized the movie's rating. Allison is a teaser.

 Sorry no pictures of me for this night. I had just taken a 2 hour walk to Subway and then hill to my friend Shelleys. Averaged at 2.5 miles, with about a 3/4 of a mile of that up hill. Yeah I was a bit dehydrated after that, but I was proud of myself for making it!

TUESDAY!!!

I have some amazing friends that are always there for me when I need to scream and tonight was no exception. Earlier Allison dropped off cheesy mashed potatoes and adorable owl stickers for me. My friend Lara (pronounced "Lair-A") talked to me on the phone for nearly half and hour. Then later, Allison, Shelley, and I met at the temple and walked through some gorgeous neighborhoods before heading back to their place. Then we stopped by Broulim's (local grocery store), which was packed, before they dropped me off. They indulged me and my camera with all my stops to take pictures.

 

WEDNESDAY!!!

Happy Forth of July! And a day at the Lake! I kept saying beach all day though because the lake is lined with sand and felt more like a small beach than a lake, but then I'm still getting used to living in the country and not the suburbs.

I brought watermelon, we had Wendy's for lunch and spent time swimming out to the white buoys, riding down the slide, sun tanning, and playing water frisbee. It was actually really nice too be swimming and only had to put my head under the water twice when I jumped off the slide doc you see in the middle of the lake there.

Unfortunately, I put on sunscreen twice throughout the day and still ended up burned. No tanning was accomplished, just burning.

ow!
