- Cross My Heart -

Levi Ball. I've mentioned Levi in a few earlier blogs, but never devoted more than a paragraph to this person who is so dear to me. . So I'm taking this opportunity to do that very thing.

Like I said in my second blog post ever, Levi and I met in Ms. Beans creative writing class. Blah blah.. And we've been through a lot since then. We've [basically] been dating for a little less than a year and in that time we've had a fair amount of wonderful experiences that I am very thankful for, and will hopefully remember for a longer period than I do most things.

Starting tomorrow, Levi's going on a pre-mission road trip with his raw roommates and beginning of next week- I take off towards Washington for a miserable selling experience. I will be there all summer and Levi leaves on his mission to California on May 27. So, today was the last time we could be together for two years. And that's just.. A really sad story. But I'd have to say- there a few other ways I'd rather spend our last moments together than how we did.

At around 3:30 yesterday, Elicia and I arrived in Provo. As soon as we got there, we (Levi, Me, Elicia, and Matt) made a trip to UVU to look for Levi's backpack and pick up Mike. After doing that, we ate Beto's (best ham breakfast burrito I ever had) and tripped to Boondocks to do batting cages ( for those who don't know- I love batting cages).

My first batting cage attempt was at very fast softball because I told Levi I would try that out if he was doing fast baseball. I watched Levi do great in his cage then went to bat. After two hits, my hand was already rattled to death by the mercilessly hard and fast balls. I didn't dare hit another of that speed, so Levi hopped in and tried to finish them out. After a few hits, he too was hand hurt. Leish and I both did a round of slow softball and even though it took us a while to convince Elicia to play, I think she quite enjoyed it. :)

We drove back to Levi's apartment after Boondocks then met up with a few other couples (one of the girls was a total whore that wanted Levi despite her own date) at Trafalga- another Boondocks type place. There, we played in the arcade (Levi and I attained 375 -or something- tickets. Which resulted in two matching chucky doll key chains, a sticky hand for Levi and an 'Angel' tiara for me- Leish and I got matching ones). We also played mini golf, took photo booth pictures, ate dippin dots, and raced go carts. What an adventure!

The rest of the night consisted of eating Wendy's and preparing Levi for his final presentation in English the next morning. I didn't really help with this, but I tried and sadly ended up crashing on the couch at around 2:00 am. Then was kindly picked up and carried to a bed to sleep.

This morning started early for Levi because he had his presentation. He left around 8:45, I think, and I got up with him for a tiny bit but went back to sleep until he was home again at 10:something.

Once everyone was awake, Levi made us the most delicious cinnamon pancakes ever. Mmm they were soo good. Sadly though, what came next was something not so sweet.. the farewells. Which were horrible, but worse because we had to leave so much earlier than I wished because Leish and I had a history of photography final at 3:30. Which we couldn't be late for. So we had to leave Levi's by 1:00 to make sure we had enough time to make it back to Logan. Unfortunate for us, and exactly my luck- MY TEACHER DIDNT EVEN SHOW UP FOR CLASS AND FINAL WAS CANCELLED. AH. SO FRUSTRATING.

Anyways.. It was the saddest thing leaving Levi's apartment knowing that would be the last time I could see him for two years. I don't want to be sad, I don't want to worry about the future and I always ask myself why the heck I get myself into these kinds of situations? But I know the answer. Because when you adore someone as much as I adore Levi, the hurt seems worth it. And it is.

Ha.

LEVI I MISS YOU

- Made In The Dark -

I am currently sitting in a UVU building.. of some sort.. and originally I was sitting on a comfy couch watching a basketball game. But now I've been kicked out/relocated and have found my way around some corners, through some doors, and now I'm sitting on a chair on the edge of an enclosed, extremely long hallway that has three men studying in it. Eek.
Other than this weird and rather uncomfortable situation, my day has been rather enjoyable. This morning I got my car back from its checkup, turns out my car was as crappy as I thought it was. It's new internal organs are doing it a lot of good.
As soon as I got my car back, i took off to Provo- hence me sitting here at UVU- to hang out with Levi.
So far our Provo adventures have consisted of..
A full tour of UVU [I'm still true blue]
A trip to BYU campus to visit the track team during practice [ultra hilarious experience]
A delicious meal at California Pizzaa aa aaa... maybe that's not what it's called. I don't know
A stop by Levi's apartment
And nowwww I'm blogging here while Levi is taking a test he has to do before nine.
I think after this we're gonna go to the tumble gym and see Trent, Trey and everyone then hopefully we'll be able to say hi to my Auntie Cynthia.
And after that I think we might watch a movie. COOL!!!!!!!!!! So much fun!!!!!

- What The Guitars Said About The Firmament -

When I go home on weekends, I probably make.. two or three attempts to hang out with old friends (Tomas, Trent, Carli..) and then I just stick with hanging out with my family. In high school I wouldn't of been OK with that but now I am. I really love the time I spend with my family even though it means sometimes being included in hour long lectures given by my father about a midnight curfew (he would die if he knew my night time schedule at school). Yes I got one of those this weekend when Jake, Ross, and I wanted to go out for a night on the town.

Ross wanted to go to neon night, or something, and Jake and I wanted to go to the Heidi's place and play games. Since we were both headed toward Salt Lake area, we thought we would take one car but this meant at least an hour of drop off/ pick up time for one of us.. and after being told our curfew was 12, we decided that wasn't gonna work. So Ross took off to his party and Jake and I stayed home and played guitar together which was still way fun. I miss hanging out with Jake like in the good old days, so now when I'm home and we get the opportunity to do stuff like play guitar together, it's super awesome. What's lame though is Jake always spends all his time with Heidi.

Most of the rest of the weekend I spent with my mom- Saturday we spent the morning working a Curves booth at the diabetes expo at the South Town Expo Center and that was actually really fun. I enjoyed talking with all the ladies there who were interested in Curves. After that, we traveled everywhere it feels like. We went to Provo then back up to Sandy and went and ate with grandma, grandpa, and Uncle Doug. It was a loongg day but we had a lovely time. Then Sunday we skipped Sunday school together and made rolls / slept (I slept, ha.). AWESOME.

Sunday had plenty of good times, like playing guitars and talking with Carli, eating a scrumptious dinner.. and visiting Andee's aunt during their mass family get together, but the best part was riding in a car back to Logan with Megan Bell, Elicia and Andee. Ha. The whole way was just a loud, laughing, flaming bundle of love flying up to Logan and it was so much fun.

My weekends/life aren't very fun to here about but I want to write about them anyways. My blog has become so lame and I sincerely apologize to the.. 3 people who read it. If that. .. ha.

P.S. OUR KITCHEN IS EXPERIENCING AN ANT INFESTATION.
I sprayed them all with toilet bowl cleaner and I hope they all die soon. :)
