Debauchery & Easter Eggs

CRAZY SPRING BREAK!!!! Nah, just kidding. I worked all week. But it was still fun.

On Tuesday it was Sarah's Birthday. I spent the majority of the morning working on her gift and in the evening we went to Mesquite. (What better way to celebrate her 21st birthday??) We ate at a nice restaurant called Katherine's. We were a little early for our reservation due to the different time zone. Yeah, I felt like an idiot. But the evening went off without a hitch....whatever that means. We had so much fun, we always do.

The rest of the week was kind of boring. All of my roommates with the exception of 3 left. On Friday I went to Heber City to hang out with my roommate Brian. We went to Dairy Keen, a burger joint he's been raving about. It was really good! Then we hung out with his family. They are so nice. It's easy to see where Brian gets his temperament. In the evening we went bowling with a whole bunch of Heber friends. I felt a little out of place, being the only Tooele person. Especially that in 2003 Tooele kicked the crap out of them in the State Football Championship. Suckas!

I Spent the night with my brother and sister-in-law in Orem. I love them. In the morning we headed down to Tooele for our family Easter party. It was great to see the fam together. Ethan, who is almost 4 was real excited for Easter and it was so much fun to see him scamper off in search of eggs. I did ok in the hunt, I got 3 bucks and some Whoppers. We also had a Hawaiian Luau. We ate actual Hawaiian food, not like the ward luaus where they serve Hawaiian Punch and Hawaiian Haystacks. I love my family. I felt a little out of place, being the only one without a boyfriend/girlfriend or husband/wife or ESPN Basketball. But still, it was worth the drive.

So not a bad Spring Break, but i'm glad to get back to life.

Not A Bad Week.....

Week before Spring Break is over! Look out world! Ol' Lorin is ...... is.......is....working during spring break. (sigh)
Good news though. The SUU Student Government Elections are over! I was on the Elections committee and it was great to get it done. The U party swept the elections, which was good. They are amazing candidates and will do the school well. I also found out starting April 15th I officially will be promoted to manager at 2 Brothers Communications! I'm really grateful for this chance. It definitely is a blessing to have a job that can get me through college. I also found out I made the Juniper Resident Housing Activities Board = FREE RENT & FREE FOOD!!! Bam! What a great blessing.
This week has been great. I went on a date last night with Sarah. What a blast. We went the Japanese Hibatchi NINJA in Cedar City. It was a lot of fun, and our chef spoke Chinese. Afterwards we had our own makeshift "drive-in movie" with my portable DVD player in my car. Sarah is such an amazing person.
Plus this weekend will be spent with the Fam. So all in all good week.

Rootin' Tute'in good time.

Another amazing but stressful week. I finished up my mid-terms this week. Also elections for Student Government are coming up and I'm Co-Director of the Elections committee. I have a lot of meetings coming up.
Also this week was the "King Tute" Pageant. It's basically is like Mr. Institute. We competed in 3 categories: Outback attire, Talent, and Formal & On-Stage question. For my outback attire I wore an old shirt with breakaway pants which reveals boy scout socks, (You know the the really high one?) I made the pants into a tent and painted a red hand on a volleyball to be my Wilson.
For my talent I did, "The Evolution of the Institute Dance." I cut and mixed a whole bunch of classic institute songs and dances. It was definitely a crowd favorite. It got a standing ovation.
My formal and on-stage question went well too. Well, it turned out that I won the crown. It was such a fun night. Jon McNaughton told me that the crown comes with much prestige and the women of Southern Utah will be at my feet. I don't know about that but, it was a fun time and I made some new friends because of it. Click here if you want to see my talent.
On Saturday night I went on another date with Sarah. Dates with her are always fun. We went and flew kites during the sunset. My kite kept on dive bombing into the ground, while hers stayed aloft. We then had a picnic in my car which ended up being messy....but fun. :) She is so much fun. I respect her so much. Crumbs, I know you're reading this.
Good week.
