Kade's birthday was on Sunday, so we had a whole weekend of festivities. lol. We went to his best friend's house on friday night. ALLLL of his friends were there. I got to meet them all at once. Talk about intimidating! They are all super cool though. They were really good about making me feel comfortable & included :) plus I left with a good ab workout from laughing so hard. We ate dinner, played the bean game, watched some basketball, played water poker, and then played the bean game again. Kade won the first time we played (only cause I didn't know how to play ;)) & I won the second time. It's way fun. No wonder I kept hearing about it.
Saturday night I met the parents. For like 2 seconds. They were way nice, even though Kade tried to tell them I said they were scary. Definitely didn't happen. Brat. Lol. Then we went to Chrissy & Dustin's to watch the fights and hang out. Jordyn & Ryan Duke came too. We played apples to apples, hung out & watched home alone until we were all tooo tired. lol. Sunday I put up Christmas lights with my little sister. My house looks so festive! I love it :) Then I went to Kade's and gave him his gifts. I got him a green hoodie, a white and gray striped henley, and the League season 2. Plus a navy blue henley I gave him on friday night. Yeah, I guess I dress him pretty well ;) lol.
Tuesday night I went to Kade's to watch the new episode of the League. So good, by the way. Then we watched some basketball, & hung out with his parents. Oh the shenanigans! They are hilarious. Then we watched a season of Archer. Even funnier than the League. Love it. New favorite show forsure.
Wednesday this week was the last week of institute and it was SO good. All about covenants. Pres Wilson stressed so much the fact that the Lord asks so little of us, but blesses us so much in return. 10%? 1 day a week? That is nothing compared to all that we receive from him. As Pres Wilson put it, you buy a horse & you get the whole herd :) He stressed how important home & visiting teaching are and that we cannot be considered "covenant keepers" if we do not fulfill our callings. So, once I get my assignments I will do my best to stay on top of those :)
I had lunch with my dad today, & I think I finally convinced him to go back to church. I told him that since I've been going back to church, I won't settle for anything less than getting married in the temple. & I expect him to be there. So he needs to get it together!
I'm thankful for Christmas shopping. I love finding the perfect gift for someone and getting so excited to give them their presents. It's my favorite :) I'm done with my mom's present, & I got a part of Kade's so far. Everyone else.. I'm slacking on! lol.
But I'm gonna go finish a concert critique for a concert I didn't attend. This will be interesting...
so long for now ;)
