Phew what a wild month, of the 6 tests in my chemistry class 5 yes 5 were in this month and 2 of them are Monday, during this month I have been in CO for a week had interviews for new jobs, worked 40 hours a week, and had family to entertain + a sick husband, and I was selected as a bridesmaid for Lily, geez, pray for me. Saturday I thought of all my fun memories in SLC and decided that SLC can indeed be my home, maybe, whenever I think of that I think of Waldo Canyon where I believe is God's footstool, or the Garden of the Gods or one of my billions of favorite mountain spots that are all within a short drive. These aren't just wilderness areas these are places where I am able to go and completely escape civilization, maybe see a bear or some deer.
My favorite memories of Salt Lake include my house on 21st South where I started on a mattress on the top of the stairs with one box for about a month and then graduated into a room with 3 glorious windows 1 that faced the foothills and 2 that faced north and a tree where the birds always woke up before the first crack of dawn. We secretly (well till we were found out, we didn't know there was a limit) incubated 5 women in a 3 bedroom 1.5 bath apartment, most of us didn't shower well at least not all the way or every day and we had 2 hair styling stations in the hall where there were also 2 windows. I love windows! I have not moved to certain places because of lack of windows. How I ended up in a basement apartment, well . . . I met a cute boy . . .
I shared a room with Lily we laughed we cried, well mostly I cried and she wiped away my tears, we read in our beds all day and all night, we woke up early and stayed up late. We tried lots of good local food or at least tried to. We went through boyfriends and crushes, lots of jerks, and lots of women empowering music, like Regina Spektor and Ingrid Michelson, plus lots of classical. Lily taught me not to be so sentimental and I think maybe I taught her to be a little, one day we went to temple square where we served our missions she cried, I didn't it was usually the opposite, when it came to whether we should keep things or not I adopted her theme of throwing it out! I need to get back to my one box living I loved it!
Our singles ward moved to a beautiful church historical sight that looks like Cinderella's palace I prayed for all of us to get married and in a month from today we all will be. I forgot to mention the fun times we had with the roommates, Lily's cooking adventures and tim tam slams, Shandy's waxing everyone all the time, Vanessa's wedding plans, and Megan's parties and invented identities, so much fun and we all ranged over a 5 year age span too.
Some of my other favorite memories are when TJ and I started dating he would take me to lots of fun lots of fun little nooks and crannies, like the ampitheater at the library, or Donner park, watching airplanes, walking around downtown. The week we first started dating it rained almost everyday, there were lots of snails running around and TJ would pick them up to chuck and I would shudder and he would play it off and say haha just kidding. Ahh memories, as if you needed me to tell you who the sentimental one was.
