Well Well Well! November is speeding by faster than ever! I'm getting nervous with some things. I do have my recital this week. I'm not too terribly nervous, yet, but I'm sure it will go well. I'm more nervous about passing music theory right now. I think I can pass, but that's not really the point unfortunantly. The point is that I'm missing things that I'm learning. Like-they aren't engraved in my head real well and it doesn't help when I'm supposed to be connecting everything together in one way or another. It's nuts! Pray for me(: I need to make it through somehow!
This past week has been pretty good. The weekend even better of course(:
On Friday afternoon/evening, I got into an organizing/cleaning mood and did some organizing in my room, as well as cleaning the bathroom and doing dishes. I was home alone so I figured I might as well get something useful done. Though, I COULD have done a little homework, but you all know me-I find distractions whether intentional or not(: I"M WORKING ON IT!
After my cleaning/organizing spree, I went on a date with a guy in my ward. He is in my FHE group and also my home teacher, so we see each other a bit! It was tons of fun! We were with Heather and Joe, and another couple that are friends of ours. We had a fire outside of Joe and Jordans(my date) house and did tinfoil dinners which were awesome! We also had some cobbler. Then we went inside and played "Curses" hee hee! Such a fun game! If you've never played it-I recommend it! I had played it once before, but this time was way nuts! We had so much fun with the curses that were given to us haha!
After that, we decided to end the night, seeing as it was late, and some of us were getting up early the next morning for...
THE ANNUAL CHILI PICKING! 
Woot! Ok, so it was my first time going. I missed the last couple years of it due to whatever my reasons were(: It's a big service project and so a bunch of us institute kids went out about 45 minutes to some big chili fields and well-picked chilis! We were hot in the sun, and it was tiring, but we had fun hanging out together and singing songs and throwing the "bad" chilis at each other(: 
I left a little early, sadly missing lunch, but went home and got clean again, so as to be ready for Hannah and Heather's bridal shower! Double the fun. Good thing there were "doubles", otherwise it would have been "double" lame(:. It was slightly single lame though haha. Not a whole ton of people came, but I'm just glad I wasn't the one throwing it for once! The cake was great. It was "Kitchen Themed" 
bridal shower, hence the somewhat lameness(: But we had fun and our good friend Kendra Perkins came to visit for the weekend so she and I chatted during the shower and I was the photographer, naturally!

After the bridal shower, me, the twins, and Kendra had a girls night! Woot! We started by going to Denny's for a lovely meal, in which we laughed throughout most of! Afterwards, we went to the RedBox and rented "The Proposal"! Good movie. I had seen it in theatres this summer, but the twins hadn't watched it so we enjoyed a good laugh! After the movie, for old times sake when Kendra was our roommate 2 years ago, we did MADLIBS! Haha-if you don't know what those are-well, find out! Good times. Then of course the "fiances" HAD to come over because heaven forbid the girls spend one night without seeing their boys for a little bit(: We had a great night!
Church was awesome on yesterday! The institute missionaries-Brother and Sister Slade spoke and I really enjoyed it! They are a really neat couple and just love being around the young adults! And, being the ward music coordinator, I had 2 girls do a piano/violin duet as a special music number and it was beautiful! I have always wanted to play the violin! Maybe when I'm 85 I will learn.
Sunday evening, I had the opportunity to go to mission prep. No, I'm not going on a mission, but Heather's fiance Joe, asked for my assistance. He teaches mission prep and invited several people like myself to role play as potential investigators! So, I went into a room with 3 boys preparing for missions and they taught me the first discussion. I knew they were nervous so I didn't ask them TOO hard of questions about the church(; They did a good job and it was really neat for me to see kinda how missionary work works! And to kinda get the feel of an investigator as well. Way fun and I was happy to help out!
Oh its Monday once again. Bla bla bla. So far I've made it through the day! Minus the music theory part....Wednesday there will be no school which makes me jump for joy! I can sleep in, maybe play some raquetball, and probably practice since my recital IS on Thursday. Joy of joys! Ok, I really have to write a politics paper now that I've been putting off.
Have a good week everyone!
LOL-Lots of love!
