4/20 Denver Style

For my first 4/20 being in the capitol where all of the pot lovers gather to smoke their now semi legal pot in front of our state capitol, it went good. I was expecting a lot more weed and a haze of smoke to fill the air. That was probably in Boulder though. I only was overcome with the smell of weed at the bus stop, and on the highway when we entered Denver again. It was pretty funny, the smell just came right up outta nowhere and we all laughed. I did see a group of friends from 10th grade crossing the street though, blunts in hand. Small world huh? 

I went to my first bridal shower on Saturday! It was so much fun! It was even funner to get to drive there with my girl friend and sing in the car the whole time there and back. It was for my friend Alex, we're the same age and getting married a few months apart. She was baptized in October and is my only other LDS friend in the building. It's really funny to hear her takes on everything for the first time, like how singles wards function, how it's so hard to sit through conference, how the ward missionaries won't stop harassing her, how she gets so uncomfortable when people cry. Just the other day she told me she didn't like jello, and I told her that was going to be a problem, since we mormons love our jello, especially of the green variety. Oh stereotypes. I'm so excited to be married couple friends with her and all that jazz. And we both have tummy eating nausea issues, so we bond over that too. 

One of the games was two truths and a lie about how we know Alex. My three statements were, the first time I met her I was like hey, I'm Kylee, can we be friends now. Like facebook friends? I've taught her to make jello, and I spent Valentines day with her. The lie was I taught her to make jello. Everyone was confused about the Valentines day comment, to which I said, We rode in the elevator together. That counts. First time I've ever stumped people in that game.

We also made toilet paper dresses. There's nothing more awkward than wrapping toilet paper around someone you met ten minutes before. I got really dizzy from running in circles to wrap the paper and couldn't spin the rest of the night. We went all natural hippie style, complete with jewelry. 

It was a great time with all my girl friends and I'm so excited for Alex and her wedding. Opening presents was pretty funny, Joice and my present got the most laughs. Hey, I used to work at Victoria's Secret. I know where the funny stuff is. ;)

The drive back to Denver was filled with belting out of Kelly Clarkson and Adele, and lots of U turns. It's been awhile since I've gotten so lost. I didn't really miss it. 

I've only got a month left in the dorms. I'm getting really sad! It seems like yesterday that I just moved in, and now these ladies are my best friends. It took awhile, but I wouldn't change anything. Definitely trying to make these last months count. My roommate and I made a video the other night of our typical Friday. I tried to upload the video on here, but it didn't work out. If you want to see it, it's on my facebook. :) 

After the shower, I went to the adult session of Stake conference with. . . . . . SAMMY! It was a great night. The days when he can come to church events are the best. I can't wait until he's sitting by me every Sunday. It's so cute to watch how into it he gets and how much he loves the gospel and hearing about it. 

That was my 4/20. Spent with friends and giggles and laughs and fun fun fun. And I didn't even need weed. The end!
