Two weeks ago I went to Disneyland with Aaron, Taryn, Melanie, and my mom. That was SOOO fun. We went for almost 5 days I think and it was super nice to not feel rushed to ride a ride on a particular day. We watched a parade and Fantasmic and just relaxed. It was way fun. Good memories.
On the way back home from Disneyland my family dropped me off in Yuma so I could spend some more time with Jenkin (also, he had my car and my dog). It was a good last week. We celebrated his birthday by going to Famous Dave's with his family and we saw the midnight premiere of Captain America. We also waxed our mustaches and my underarms (that was a painful mistake). Then his family came on Saturday and I got to meet some of his cousins and extended family. Zac and Amy also came on Saturday and it was pretty sweet hanging out with them. Jenkin had his farewell party and his mom made Guatemalan food-- soooo good. She made these empanada things that were delicious. Bert and Chloe came to the party also. They're funny people, I'm excited to room with Chloe. Jenkin's farewell was quite tender. Mariah (his younger sister) spoke, as did his dad and of course he did. Also Kira, Jenkin, and their friend Ami sang a song. So precious.
Then on Monday/ Tuesday morning I said goodbye :( it was super sad and I miss him.
Then on Tuesday afternoon I flew to BOISE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Oh gosh, I can't emphasize how much I love this place. I floated the river on Wednesday with Wade and a group of his friends. Then we ate at Joe's Crab Shack (I actually tried a piece of crab meat... It was nothing like what I expected.). I said goodbye to Jenkin again via cellphone because he got set apart Wednesday night. Then we got frozen yogurt and walked around downtown. Two of Wade's friends, Kyle and Chris, acted out a scene from the Producers randomly downtown. It's so funny hanging out with theater majors...
On Thursday I went to Starbuck's with Wade to meet his coworkers. Then he and Rachael and I went and ate at a greek place, I got falafel and pita and I love pita and falafel so I was pleased. Then I went to their show- the 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee. They did a great job. It was very funny. I was one of the volunteers that went up on stage, I felt so awkward so I spelled a word wrong and got to sit down. It was super fun to watch and I really enjoy the show. The music is quite catchy. Afterwards I went with some of the cast to another frozen yogurt place and played Scrabble. I don't like board games very much.... But the froyo was good. My problem with self serve frozen yogurt places is that I can never make up my mind what I want. Chocolate or cheesecake? Fruity or peanut butter? Cookie dough? Cheesecake? I always end up getting the mini gummy bears because they're just so tiny I can't help it.
Today I think we are going to see X-Men in the dollar theater and then I'll watch the show again. Whee.
I love Boise. It's so green here. And lovely.
