We Cleaned a Sink!
Picture this:
Diane and I are sitting around our table with our live-in Nikki just talking. We have had dinner. We are cleaned up. Just a normal "getting-to-know-you; whats-your-major; whats-your-worst-first-date-story" evening. When all of the sudden, there is a knock on the door. It is one of the girls from apartment 1. She asks for Mel.
This is the conversation that follows:
We Say: "Mel is not home right now. Sorry."
Girl from apartment 1: "Ok, well, do you guys want to go clean a sink at Angie's with us?"
Nikki: "No thanks."
Diane: "Umm... Sure"
Me: "HUH?! Go clean somebody's sink? At nine pm?"
At this point I am not only thinking how strange this coversation is, but also: How many people does it take to clean a sink?!
Diane must have seen my confusion, because she says to me: "Its a ton of ice cream. You want to go get some?"
I am PMSing today so I said: "Sure, why not?" I had NO IDEA what I was getting myself into!
Six of us finished this bad boy off. And if you "clean a sink" at Angie's you get....

H.E. Week 2
For home evening this week it was a stake activity! We went to a pavilion for hamburgers and hot dogs and games in the field. But. Of course! It was raining!
But that doesn't stop us hard core people! We played sand v-ball in a downpour! It was so fun! We just got home and we are hopping into the shower and then getting some hot chocolate!
PS. Our feet got awesome Pedi's!

My Mile
Last Sunday my dad sent me a running schedule to get me ready for Ragnar in June. This week, everyday I am scheduled to run a mile. Now. I live in Logan. Not only do I live in Logan, I live very close to campus. As some of you may know Utah State University is set atop a very high hill, and the surrounding area is also set on hills. My apartment also shares this fate.
This is the first two blocks of my mile.
Now, you cant really tell, but is is a vice nice downhill run, or walk if you are a student just headed home for the day.
The rest of my run does a little wavy thing I go up slightly then back down slightly, then turn around and do that same spot on my way back. That's when I come back to my first my first two blocks. But with a different perspective. I now have to run up that very nice downhill.
Right where there is no more road, just tree, that is where I have to get! All week I have been struggling with this stupid hill! I have not been able to make it half way up the first block let alone the whole thing! This hill is something my dad would call "Relatively Flat"
MY EYE! This hill is nowhere close to flat. Relative or not. By the time I get up to the top, I am about to pop a lung, and I am breathing so hard its like I am never going to breathe again and so I am trying to get as much oxygen as I can.
BUT. On Wednesday I had a revelation. Ever since I started running, I have always prided myself on keeping my head up while I run. I never look at my feet. I like to see my next goal in my run. For example: "If I can just make it to that street sign I will be good." Then, "If I can make it to that corner I can see home" That kind of thing has always helped me keep going and not stop.
On Wednesday though, I thought, "Maybe if I am not looking to the top of the hill I will be able to make it farther" So I tried it. And it worked! I still didn't make it up the hill, but I was able to run for a longer amount of time.
Yesterday was an off day, so I didn't get to try my new revelation.
TODAY. I slept an extra half hour, when I dressed for my run I looked outside, and guess what I saw? THE SUN! That's right! I ran my 3/4 of a mile and then got back to that hill, and guess what!
I made it halfway up that "relatively flat" hill without stopping!!! And I was able to gain enough oxygen to run up the last quarter and then down 100 ft to my apartment! I am now done with my "stupid" mile for the day!
I know. You're impressed. ;p

Home Evening
One week ago, I moved here.
Garden Court apartments! There is a living room, kitchen, three bedrooms, and each bedroom has its own bathroom, (which I am LOVING!)
This is my roommate Diane. She likes Nerf guns. She is extremely nice and is always laughing, which makes life so much more fun! We are having a blast together!
I also have three other roommates. Courtney and Paige live across the hall from us are sisters and are from Las Vegas, we havent seen much of them since they went home early for the weekend and are not back yet.
Melanie is in the room next to us and is only home from the hours of 12 or 1am to 6 or 7am. We have yet to say anything to each other except: "Hi. I'm Briana, or Bri." and "Hey. I'm Melonie or Mel. Whatever."
Anyway so far it has been really fun and I hope to have many fun advertures.
Tonight's adventure was Home Evening for our new ward. Now Diane and I were both in Salt lake this weekend and didnt get to go to our new ward, so we weren't sure if we even wanted to go tonight, but we went anyway....and had SO. MUCH. FUN.
We met a lot of people who live in our building/ward. We had a lesson. The bishopric fed us, and after all of that, we went over to the closest park, pulled out a football and a Frisbee and started to just play. Everyone was included. Even those of us who cant throw a Frisbee to save our lives! I got a couple good grass stains. Got a pretty good workout running up and down the field. Met a lot of cute guys. And now have a pounding head, and big smile on my face. I forgot how fun field games are! They are even more fun when everyone is included and is being a good sport!
That is today's marvelous adventure!!!

Hooray!
Guess what!
Summer is absolutely on its way!!!!!!
I went out and laid in the grass today. Laid out and enjoyed the warmth, and read my book. I stayed out side for an hour and a half! The back of my legs are slightly pink! I AM SUNBURNED!!!! My first sunburn of the season! I know y'all think I am crazy, but this IS a big deal! My summer tan has officially started!
Oh, and I ran a mile without stopping today. I hated every minute of it, but you know what my mom would say? "That her friend said, that her mom said, 'Anyone can run a mile!'" So that's what I did. Go me! (OH! And a HUGE thank you to Jess who is my new running buddy, and who keeps me going!)
