40 Weddings... and a New Apartment


So forty may be a bit high... but only a little. Since December I have begun to have a slew of friends getting married, or who will be soon blissfully wed. The third one to take place was last night. Well, actually they got married during the day... but their reception was in Pleasant Grove last night.
Little Miss Deborah White, now Little Mrs. Deborah... um I don' remember Sam's last name... something like Johnson or Smith... is one of my own children and like a sister to me all at the same time. Please don't ask me how that works because I actually have no idea. I am so happy for them, they are adorable together really. The first pic is one she sent me earlier of when she bought the dress. It was very Deborah and beautiful. It was lovely to see her all dressed up, and to see her parents who moved out of the home ward about a year ago... not that I ever go home, but my mom misses her mom lots.

Also, my bishop from my home ward came up for the receptions because 1) he was invited 2) his daughter Lauren was one of the bridesmaids, and 3) he had to meet Lauren's boyfriend and then drive Lauren home for the summer. So, he invited me to go to dinner with them. This invitation was quite welcome after a day of packing and moving and unpacking, which led to zero food eating on my part.

Thats right ladies and gents. The Brittany is no longer my home. I moved into Allred Apartments which is just up the block, well actually two blocks, and have set up residence here. My roommate is Sarah, she is from Costa Mesa California. She served a mission in Albania and her major is Exercise Science. Andrea is in the room next to us, she is from Texas and she is a business major. Aubrey will be here tomorrow and although she is from Tucson... she is tight cause she is an Arizonan. It will be a new and interesting experience to say the least. I went to church today, there were literally 13 guys there. Four were with significant others... but hey, next week should be a little better. Apparently a big group went on a camping trip... so, here is to next week!!!
Well, that is all for now. Here is another pic from the wedding, just cause I like it.

Wow! You sound happy already! What part of Texas is Andrea from because: 1) Dad and I used to live in San Angelo. 2)You have an aunt and cousins in Round Rock, which is by Austin. 3)You have a cousin, Ryan, in San Antonio. 4)You have a grandmother and two cousins who served missions in Houston.
I'm sure you've already covered these things, but I thought I'd ask. I wanted a pic of Deborah in her dress! Doen't your camera have a flash? Did you help decorate the car? How fun. Where did the bishop take you for dinner and how was Tucker?
Love, Me

Those pics are with the flash mom. It was sort of hard to get good light cause people were running around blowing bubbles and I just wanted to get a pic of them.

So last night... sleeping in my apt for the first time was the weirdest thing ever! I really have become so attached to the brittany/ward. My roommates have all been in the ward so they talk about people (you know the core people) and i miss being in the know. i know it will come eventually, but i'm having a hard time letting go of the brittany. It's all for the best right? Please just remind me.

I was expecting a list of the 37+ weddings that will be happening soon... What, do I have to shamelessly promote myself?

Yes you do Bukran, that is a long list, and it depresses me in a certain way so I'd rather not list it off.

Together We're Invincible

If you can't handle the atmosphere of concerts don't go. That is all I have to say. I wish I had said it to the girl standing in front of me at the Muse concert last night. Instead I began plotting her downfall, but since I don't know her name or where she lives, I suppose she has escaped her terrible fate... for now. Aside from her constant rants and shoving backwards, causing me to fall into the people behind me, who then shoved me back into her to illicite her annoyingly dirty looks, the Muse concert was... amazing. This was definitely a very high budget concert. There was a sweet light show, explosions after certain songs, and his guitar was glittery and lit up. Like, an actual light in his guitar. Underneath the spectacular "special effects," you could tell that Matthew Bellamy is a guy who just wants to get out there and rock. So rock he did. On the guitar and the piano. Butterflies and Hurricanes was amazing. I would post a video of it... but it all sounds...

A Tragicomedy of Poetic Verse

If you could please all forgive me, I am taking the time to wax philosophical within this post. So Friday night I went and saw the movie "Stranger than Fiction." This was a highly good film and I would recommend that everyone go see it. Take home made cookies with you too, because you'll want to eat them. The premise of this film, for those of you that don't know, is that the main character, Harold Crick, begins hearing a voice in his head, narrating his life in third person omniscient. The voice is right about a lot of things, and is mainly very annoying until Harold hears the voice say that he is going to die. So, I began thinking about life and death. After all, thats the point of art, to make you think about life and death. So I did. We are all, for the most part going to taste of death at some point on this journey. Death in some form will come to all of us, through the loss of a loved one, or through our own. It will happen, we cannot stop it. So why did it be...
