I don't ever feel awkward...

Usually I write on Sunday nights but this week enough has happened to fill up the post.

I talked to a few friends last week or the week before about how I usually don't feel awkward. I now have an experience that I can retell when asked about any awkward experiences. (During our discussion a girl shared an experience about how she walked in on a honey mooning couple; it was the most awkward story I have heard... but that is her story.)

Ok I have two experiences. The first one isn't awkward just funny. So I go to FHE everything normal. Later a girl comes late and I notice that she is wearing a sweatshirt that I have. No biggy. All of my winter clothes are still at home in my room. With in two seconds of being in the door she shouts across the room, "hey we have the same sweatshirt!" How would she know that? I look down and see that I have the exact same hoody on.  As everyone turns to look at me I turn red. Don't worry she calmed things over by saying, "oh, don't worry this is a boy hoodie, it used to be my brothers." 

I saw her in church on Sunday. I have been waiting for the opportunity to say "oh I have that shirt" as a joke. She was wearing a dress and I really didn't want to go there. 

Ok now to the real story. Yesterday I go to Kneaders. I had a call in order. I kneaded to be in and out of there quick! I get to the window and the girl (Arlynn Robinson) opens the window says hey and says "that will be $7.72"  I give her my debit card with a polite smile, the kind you would give an old friend that is getting your dinner. She gives me the card back and says have a good night then shuts the window. Frustrated I am thinking. Where is my sandwich!?! I honk my horn and she doesn't respond; she is too busy helping other people. What the heck? I am hungry! 3 minutes later she turns around and opens the window, "uhhh can I help you?" her raised eyes saying more than her words.  I confidently respond "Yea, what about the sandwich?" More confidently and unamused she responded, "I gave it to you." I looked to the passenger seat and there she was, my turkey bacon, avocado on ciabata bread. Then came that moment when I could honestly whisper under my breath "AWKWARD!" I looked over laughed and put the pedal to the metal. I still think I am red. 

Life is delicate...

This weekend was great compared to the last. I would consider myself 5-0 compared to last weeks 0-4.

1- Sweet Halloween party with my family. It never gets old. We watched kid safety the video, played the rising board game with the kids, ate monkey brains and worms. Also, don't forget the always necessary ghost cake and pumpkin sloppy-jos.

2- BYU football won and won with conviction! We won and Riley only threw one interception, which is a feat in and of itself.

3-The lady cougars tore up the South Field and remain number 5 in the country. They scored 5 goals and held SMC to 0.

4-My O-Chem midterm is over.

5-I had a friendly reminder that life is short and no one/ nothing should be taken for granted.

Here are some Halloween pictures. Hopefully this makes up for me not dressing up this year. Adam also forgot that he got to be apart of the Glade Halloween Magic a few years ago. I thought I would remind him. I am glad that all of the siblings are home so we can always have a full house for the party!

0-4

Saturday I was 0 and 4. Four chances to win came my way, and four chances to win went their way with out me.

Number one: I retook the grammar test and got the exact same score as the first time.

Number two: Because I took the grammar test again, I was late for my volleyball game; we forfeited.

Number three: Spencer and I lost our tennis match.

Number four: BYU vs Notre Dame...

At the end of the day I decided the best solution was catch up on Survivor. So that is what we did. Nothing like roommate bonding time at the end of the day.

What made this week awesome was rock climbing Trilogy with Geoff on Friday.  I wish that I were brave enough to take friends rock climbing.  I have grown to love to sport but I am not confident enough to tell people I rock climb. Because the day there is no geographically plausible way to go with Geoff is the day I won't be able to go any more. So I will enjoy it while it lasts.

Cosmic Space Dust Lazers

Buy a stranger a coke. So for class we were given the assignment to buy a stranger a Coke. Shayne Clarke, my teacher, clarified that a Coke does not have to be the soft drink but it can be anything. So if a Coke can be a hamburger than I took it that a stranger could be a co-worker. So on Saturday I completed my task. After the game I decided to buy this girl some ice cream from the creamery outlet. She got Strawberry Sundae and I got Graham Canyon on bottom with Raspberry and Cream Cheese on top.  Delicious. Unlike my classmates this experience was neither awkward nor hard. Lets just hope buying a co-worker an ice cream fits under the category of buying a stranger a Coke.

On to more interesting things, Geoff and I went rock climbing. Probably the most fun I have ever had rock climbing. I have dreamt about it since.  I cannot wait to get up there again. It was my first time doing a multi-pitch climb. We went to rock canyon. The colors were warm and football was in the air. We could see the valley perfectly. The bell tower communicated the hours as we gradually made it up Cosmic Space Dust Lazers (the name of the climb and yes I spelt it correctly).  The fun sadly came to an end as we heard the Cougars kickoff against the Beavers. Unwantingly we ran down the mountain and I went to work. Thanks for the fun Geoffer!

Take a Walk

 This weekend I was able to participate, with my family, in a TSC Alliance walk (is that an accurate title Annie?) to support Nami. It was an enjoyable experience. Then again, what isn't enjoyable when you are with my family.

Here is Claire B. I hope all of you saw this or at least can imagine claire being pulled behind Mowgs squealing, "whoa whoa ha ha whoa Mowgly slow down."

Mima and Livvy holding hands for a stretch of the walk.

Some fine looking stiller pushing Mamas!

"Daniel up here!"

Shout out to the Vimahis for inviting us and making this all possible. I hope the TSC walk know Team Nami is here to stay. I don't know if this video is going to work but it is the Annie, Sale, and the boys running together.

This is also another classic-typical occurrence. Everyone is doing everything, dancing to making noise with a chip bag, in order to produce smiles from the kids.
