more to come

oh, hello blog. i forgot i had you. actually, i didn't, but i just couldn't think of anything to blog about for the past six weeks. i've just been too lazy and not creative enough to write anything. for real, guys, i'm so excited to go to jerusalem and become productive again. a 21 year old can only do so much babysitting before she starts to go a little bit crazy. so ya....things in these here parts are going to get really interesting next week.

speaking of jerusalem, did you know that the dress code for the BYU JC center is more rigid than the missionary dress code? it is NOT easy to wear ankle length skirts and dresses without looking like a nun. luckily for me, this whole maxi thing is in right now. so i'm not totally doomed. my mom told me today that i don't seem that excited to go to jerusalem...and to be honest...it hasn't hit me yet that i'm going. when i think about it, it's like "oh. wow. i'm going to jerusalem next week. i need to get ready." i don't think i'll actually get really excited until we touch down in tel aviv, you know? the idea is still too abstract for me to grasp. 

anyway, i just got home for the first time in two weeks. i went to st. george with my family for a week, which was so fun, as always, even the part where we tore out wooden shingles on the roof. seriously, i found out there is nothing more therapeutic than shredding the heck out of a roof. and i got in a workout and a tan at the same time. perfect. then my friends picked me up on the way to california and we spent a week there. don't even worry, i went to a legit luchador wrestling match in tijuana. with masks and capes and everything. and i loved every second of it. pictures of the week to follow. 

oh, and we all got lifeguard certified in san diego. it's pretty much equivalent to getting married in vegas.
