I Know Just One Thing, Let's Have a Barbecue!

Happy Memorial Day Weekend!  (Yes, I do consider the entire weekend to be a holiday.  Hey, if I get it off work that makes it a holiday, right?) I was lucky enough to get Friday, Saturday, and Monday off work so Thursday afternoon I headed home for the weekend.  It has been so much fun, I love having a break from work (not that I don't enjoy work, but you know) and getting to be back home with my family.  However if you ask my mom she'll tell you I was barely home this whole weekend so she doesn't know how I got the idea that I was hanging with the family.  But, I did spend all of today with them and I will be spending all of tomorrow with them, so I figure half of the weekend with them, half of the weekend with friends is a good balance.  :) 

So Friday I went walking with my mom in the morning (good exercise you know).  Then I went over to Brady's house and finally got to see him after 3 weeks, woot!  We played Rock Band for an  hour and then I went shopping with my mom.  After the shopping me and Brady went on a bike ride.  And I've decided that my preference of exercise is definitely more leaning towards walking than bike riding.  Poor Brady had to wait for me at pretty much every corner as I struggled to pedal the final distance to the corner.  But, it was still really fun.  :)  Afterwards we each rode home and showered and then I went over to his house to watch a movie.  We ended up playing basketball in his backyard for about an hour before we finally watched "The Russians are Coming, The Russians are Coming".  It's actually a pretty funny show, I liked it.  

Saturday I went walking with my mom again and then went on a date with Brady.  We went to the movie theater and saw "Star Trek", which if you consider the fact that I know nothing about Star Trek and hadn't ever seen any of the old shows, I surprisingly enjoyed a lot.  We were supposed to go to lunch afterwards but we ate an entire giant bucket of popcorn between the two of us during the movie (sad, I know, we're like bottom-less pits) so we decided to skip lunch and just head home.  That night we went over to our friend Alisha's house for 2 other friends surprise birthday party.  There we played football, ate cake, hung around and talked, and then watched the movie "Seven Pounds" which I actually didn't like much.  So up to this point in the weekend, I have now watched 3 new movies, but don't worry, that's the last of the movies for now.  

Today I hung out with my family and went to church, regular Sunday activities.  I'm heading back up to Logan tomorrow night along with my family, and then we're going to do FHE up in Logan.  We're going to go clean the sink :) I'm way excited for it.  Other than that not much has been going on.  Most of my summer has been spent working, going country swing dancing, trying to meet more people in Logan, and figuring out how I'm supposed to come home practically every weekend for a new missionary farewell.  But I'll figure it out, don't worry :) So to end I'm going to post a few pictures of me and Kajsa when we were cute little kids (mainly because my mom keeps asking me when I'm putting them on -"I got them for you specifically for that"-, and also because they are pretty cute and they make me laugh so I want to share it.  Hopefully Kajsa doesn't mind (; )  In the first picture I'm the one in the blue coat looking confused (typical), and Kajsa is the one with the big mouth (also typical, just kidding! Kajsa doesn't have a big mouth) I also want you to please note Kajsa's hat... :)  In the second picture I'm the shorter one (but I wouldn't stay that way for long, haha!) and am wearing the regular t-shirt.  Kajsa is the taller one with the frilly shirt/dress thing (somehow this also seems to be typical, her in fancy, me in plain.  Apparently we knew how we wanted to dress even when we were young!) You probably could of been able to tell who was who anyway, at least I could tell pretty quickly, we look just like we do now, only younger... well actually, I look more like a cabbage patch kid than like myself but Kajsa looks the same...  but I figured I'd tell you who was who just in case! :)
