Wonderful Spring Weekend

(I'm trying to still be positive about this past weekend, despite the fact that it is snowing, that's right, snowing, AGAIN!)

I absolutely love warm weather. I was thrilled this weekend when I got to wear Capri's and a light jacket. It was so great to spend most of Saturday outside in the sun. It was good I had the jacket on though, because you can get sunburned without even realizing it. Ask Brian. I got a little sun on my face, but that's probably a good thing. I'm so pasty white.

Brian went biking in the morning on Saturday, with another guy from our ward, even though I said I wanted to go, but we never had a chance to go up and get my bike. So it'll have to wait. But then he came home, and his bike was muddy. Now it's been muddy the past couple of times he's gone, but it's never been good enough weather for him to wash it outside, and I didn't want him to freeze while doing so, but because it was good weather, we agreed that he should wash it before bringing it back into the kitchen. So he washed his bike and then his mom and brother came over because Nathan's bike needed a tune up. Of course, Brian was tuning his own bike first, so we had to wait a while for him to finish. So we just got a chance to chat and sit in the beautiful sun. I loved it!

After Brian finished with the bikes, we changed and went to dinner with my cousin Wendi & her husband Ben (Bendi) to celebrate both of our husband's getting the Kennecott Scholarship. We went to dinner at Chili's and just had a great time. I love going out with them because we all get along so well.



After dinner we went back to our place & decided to watch I Am Legend. I don't know how I got talked into that one. I HATE scary movies. With a passion. I used to watch them but I just can't take it anymore. And I'm such a visual person, so that once something is in my head, I can't get it out. I'll be picturing scary faces appearing in windows for weeks after. But Brian really wanted to see it and Bendi said it was good & they liked it. I sat there with my jean quilt on top of me, even though I was burning hot. I needed that shield to protect me. And I really am okay if I see the scary monsters or people sneaking up to attack someone, it's the suspense of not being able to see what's coming. I hate that even in real life. (Britt, you should analyze that fear for me. :) I personally think it's got to do with control issues.) But anyway, I barely made it through the movie. I almost had a heart attack. So I now stand once again firm on the decision to not watch scary movies any more. Life can be scary enough without watching things to scare you more.

Sunday I spent almost all day reading, to catch up on what I've been slacking on. I only have about 2 weeks left of this semester & I just don't know if I'm going to make it through. Luckily, this week my boss is gone on vacation with his family. That makes things a little easier.

Oh, on Sunday I did take a quick break to go take a few pictures in my cap and gown. I'm trying to decide which one to put on my graduation announcement. I know it's last minute, but I wasn't able to even buy the cap & gown until a week ago. But it just reminded me of a couple things, 1) I hate taking pictures of myself. 2) I hate trying to choose a good picture of myself. 3) I have no eyes when I smile.

While we were taking some, Brian told me to "Be fierce" because I watch America's Next Top Model and we laugh when Tyra Banks shows the models how to look fierce with their eyes. She just looks silly. But this is the picture I took while trying to do the same thing with my eyes. I just look like a normal person with eyes, compared to my regular smile without them. Owell. Brian thinks it's cute though.

(K, back to the stupid weather for a minute. Because this is Utah, and because the weather does fluctuate so drastically, it tends to mess with my health. I think I am starting to get a cold because of this stupid snow. Grrr. And just in time for finals and graduation. Perfect.)
