Sneaky Parents

I like to think that I'm a perceptive person. That I know when people are hiding things from me. Well, I no longer think that. Because, my parents have been fooling me for an entire month. See, when they told me that my grandma was visiting just a week after they were going to visit her, I didn't think twice about it. Sounded fine to me. When I noticed they were more anxious, I just figured they were anxious. When they told me I needed to make time to hang out this weekend, I figured it was because my grandma would be there. 

Nope.

Turns out, my grandma was coming because my dad has been called to be the Bishop. When they told me, I literally sat there in shock holding my face. Then I wanted to immediately tell Sammy, which I couldn't because they wanted to tell him in person. Waiting four hours to talk to him about it was pretty hard, but I did it. Sammy's reaction was pretty great. He jumped backwards and went huh! Like Ben Wyatt in Parks and Rec. 

I was pretty upset when I found out my dad had to shave his goatee. He's had it for at least twenty-one years, which is the majority of my life. It make him feel a little rebellious, especially when he had it so long he could almost braid it. Now that it was leaving, I was scared that my dad was going to change and not be the same, and I wouldn't get to have my dad as much anymore. Which I felt silly about because I don't even live with my parents anymore. I only see them once a week if that, but still. I love my time talking with my dad. But then I worry about my parents and their possible implosions from stress, and felt like this would be the tipping point and now the world is going to end and why is there a new itchy spot on my side?

 I reacted like any normal person would. I got obsessed and loud and dramatic and emotional. People should not drop news on other people when they are already emotionally unstable from the influx of hormones called PMS.

But anyways. My dad was called to be a Bishop. I know that he was called of God to do this. I'm so glad that I got to be there to witness it with my whole family, and that I have such an amazing man as my dad. I know he's going to do great things. And I'm so glad that I was able to see my grandma :)

Say Yes?

Well. Today I went dress shopping. And it was a really fun experience! I went a few weeks ago, and that wasn't as fun. I almost fainted because everything was so tight! And I looked like a little girl playing dress up. This time though, I felt sophisticated, it was a much better experience, and I may have found THE dress. I know it's one of these ones, but at the store I thought I was going to get one dress. But as I got home and looked through the pictures again, I think another one will work better and is really THE one. I'm going to sit on it though.  I thought it'd be fun to put the pictures up here and let you all see! Tell me which dress is your favorite! If there's two pictures together, it's the front and back.  How was dress shopping for you?  I like the lace and buttons on this dress     Love the top and flowyness of this dress. Really love the neck, top, and ruching on this dress. Not sure about the train though. This...

Book of Mormon Musical?

Well, it's here in Denver. Kind of hard not to notice it with all the signs. The Book of Mormon Musical. I have very mixed feeling about this. I know that in the grand scheme of the universe, this musical shouldn't bother me so much. But it really, really does. The Book of Mormon is something very near and dear to my heart. And I know that people make fun of the LDS church on an hourly basis. I've heard all the jokes. Not a big deal. Plus, I'm blonde. I can take a joke. But this musical really disturbs me. I listened to the songs when they were released, thinking oh, I'm gonna be one of those cool people who fights for this play. But then I really started listening to the words. And they bothered me. A lot. Saying that missionaries who are out in the field make up things on the spot, like having sex with frogs will get rid of aids, it bugged me. I don't even want to talk about some of the other songs. I heard them and felt, just not right. I was comforted by t...

I'm not going to waste time talking about why I have a blog or how this is my first new blog post, because I like to have faith in the human race and the fact that they can read and can interpret these things on there own. I mean, there aren't any posts under this one so obviously this is my first new post. And having a blog is not a mandatory thing to live so one could hypothetically conclude that this is for fun. That is hypothetically speaking of course. I just used 89 words explaining why I didn't need to explain something. I hope I counted that right. Anyways.  Three years ago today on a rainy day I remember being in a basement with a bunch of little people and adults for a scout thing. And I remember them talking about how a certain friend of mine was going to be a senior and how that's so crazy. I was just going to be a freshman at the time and thought I was the coolest thing since duct tape. (Sorry sliced bread, duct tape is waay cooler.) Now that friend is get...
