Wonderful Meaningful Full circle Wonderful

I have been extremely busy this last week and a half or so. I remember that just about each day has been eventful, but I can not really remember in what way.

Last Wednesday I went with Jenn and Sam to go to a Kina Grannis concert. On our way there we encountered a crosswalk with about 2 seconds remaining for the countdown. So I walked across and Jenn and Sam did as well. When we go across these two Transit Police peeps came over to us and gave us all $100 jaywalking citations. How freaking crazy is that?? It is a civil citation, so it won't show up on any record. But still, $100 is freaking hefty for jaywalking.  After we got the citation we were told that we could go to a public safety class for an hour and pay $25 instead and it would be cleared up. So that is what we are all doing. So next Tuesday night at 6pm I will be watching a safety video and taking it seriously. I mean people die jaywalking all the time... Gosh. The concert though was great though. I really like Kina Grannis, she has a wonderful voice and her songs are amazing. It is nice to hear music that is lyrically stimulating as well as vocally stimulating. Imaginary Friend opened for her. He was great as well. 

Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday I worked. 
I talked to my mom on the phone Sunday for Mother's day. It was a great chat.  (:

Monday (yesterday)- I met up with Sam at Coffee Garden to grab an ice coffee, and then we went to the park to go sunbathing. After we did that we went back to my place and chilled for a bit before I had to go to work. On the way to work we stopped at Subway, and got food. Which was really freaking good, and I was so hungry. Then Sam walked me to work. Then I go into work to find out my shift was cut. So I called Sam up and asked if he wanted to hang out because they cut my shift. To which he said "Hell yeah, you are super awesome, I would love to hang out with you! Why would you even ask such a silly question??"   Okay, so what he really said was "sure", but what I heard in my head was the "Hell yeah" one. So we walked back to my place so that I could change into clothes and then went back to the park. After that we hit up 7 Eleven. He wanted to go back, but I really did not, so we went for a walk to Downtown. We walked to the Temple Square at like 230 or so in the morning. We spent so long over there just talking and looking at things. Then we walked up to the capital building. It was beautiful, there is a picture below. It was really late at that point so we walked back to my place. We got there are 5am or so. But we spent pretty much 12 to 13 hours together and it felt like it was just a few hours.

Today- I woke up at 2pm and chatted with Elissa on the phone a bit. I got ready for the day and ate and all that jazz. Then Sam came over a bit past 3pm and we headed to Murray, Utah. I got my voucher from SJV for two new pairs of scrubs and so Sam said he would take me to the place, because he has been there before. So I got my new scrubs, they are a wine color. The ones I have now in black are an XL. So I thought that is what I would need. I tried on the XL pants and shirt in the new ones and they were so big. So I got Large instead. And the best parts are that my shirts have front pockets, I have more pockets, and they were free! After we left there we journeyed our way to Red Lobster. It was so good. Like amazing. I could not eat it all. We got calamari for a starter. And I got a crab linguini alfredo with shrimp and he got the chef's lobster shrimp pasta thing. It was just so good. And they kept the drinks coming. And our server seemed pretty cool. Great weather, wonderful food, and amazing company were the things that made today kick ass. 

All and all I have had a wonderful past few days. And even though I have been working a crap load. Last week I had a 60 hour work week. I am still having a blast. 

Capital Building at night. 

Because this blog is more of an update on my activities there will be another one posted tomorrow about my inner thoughts and feelings of late.

  1. I love that you got a citation for jaywalking! I love even more that you went to a safety class and took it seriously. I don't think I would have... well maybe I did get hit by a car when I was 19. I was in the crosswalk to it wasn't my fault. Crossing roads still scares me sometimes, though...
    YOu sound like you are doing so good! I am so happy for you!
