WOW, what a week. like a flurry that they are the entire family came into town to witness margaret and john's graduation. it was a lot of fun. i got to spend time with mary and mark, who are shining stars in an otherwise cloudy night. jordan and zach as well as mom and dad, margaret and john, it was just so much fun to have everyone back together. i know we all wish that we could be together always. our bond is so strong.
we did a bunch. mary and mark, dad and zach, all went to some nearby courts to play tennis. we heard margaret's (unfortunate) commencement speech, ate at diego's, went to bear lake, moved into my apartment, moved margaret's things out of her apartment, etc.
jordan, zach, and mom stayed an extra week. and even though i was definitely unnecessarily grumpy almost the entire week, it was so much fun. jordan and i got to hang out a lot since she was the only one who slept over at my house. we got to go to the water park, eat lunch together, see vampires suck and eat pray love, go to the mall, and just enjoy the general splendor that is college. i hope they had a good time. i know a lot of it was boring because me and margaret were both shifting our lives so they had to do a lot of work.
dad came back for a siblings reunion so i got to see him one extra day. he helped us move, gave me a blessing, and margaret and i got to sleep over at barbara's (super posh) apartment in salt lake city.
so now its time for school. i don't start classes until next wednesday but i got a job!!! yes i did! interviewed a week ago and got a yes two hours later! i'm also thinking of applying to this study abroad office job. it would be nice to get more hours in, but that would lead to little social life. and in my dad's blessing it said i need to be a lot more social this semester. BLARG.
anyway, yesterday i was able to visit with rebekah. she and i watched amelie and ate popcorn and chatted. then melinda came over and we all talked until about one in the morning. today i've been organizing the INSANE amount of papers, notebooks, and just nick knacks that have no place. it's a LOT of work. my drawers are all bursting at the seems and i've already given away six bags of clothing. i have some more bags and pants and things to go through.
well, i have to go because tonight we're all hanging out again. WITH ANDRES. which should be fun. its a mini vienna study abroad reunion!
my week is filling up and it definitely feels good. i hope this semester is good. it feels pretty well balanced.
