- Courtney is pregnant! I'm so happy for her and Andy and even though she's mortified that their baby will be a giant I think it will be adorable. They are an awesome couple. Even though the only times they call me is to tease me I still love the calls. I realized that while I haven't even spent that much time with Andy I feel like I know him very well and love him a lot! He treats Courtney so well and they're really cute together.
- Alexis is no longer going to be my roommate next Fall and Winter which I am actually very sad about. I love living with her. She's one of the best people I know and she always makes me happy. However, the only good part about her not living with me is that I will be living with Mindy Westover and Maddie Bodine. I cannot tell you how excited I am to live with them! Mindy is one of my all time most favorite people and I just already love Maddie and I don't even know her.
- Erin set our Condo on fire-it's still in the process of getting fixed. I went up there and saw it when I was in Provo and it looks really awesome minus the fact that they tiled everything, including our family room. We'll have to get a rug or something.
- Stephen moved home-it's been really fun to have him around, he keeps everything more entertaining and I like hanging out with him.
- Went to Carlsbad over the 4th of July. I invited a boy to come for a little bit...stressed about that one for like about a month and then he didn't even end up coming. Haha
- Erin got engaged while I was in Carlsbad...WHAT?! I can't believe my little girl is growing up. Haha. But seriously, I'm not going to lie, I'm not ready for this step in her life. This was not part of my plan-she was supposed to be my roommate all 4 years of college! I'm going to miss her desperately but couldn't be more ecstatic for her that she is marrying such a good guy. I love Billy and I'm so glad that I had the opportunity to watch their little love story unfold. But if I do say so myself, if it wasn't for me supporting and pushing Erin a little bit, I don't think they would even be together! Only kidding. But he is so lucky to be marrying one of the best people I know. She has been one of the biggest examples and blessings in my life-I'll miss her when she's all the way over in Virginia-maybe I'll visit?!
- Went back up to Provo before going to my family reunion and got to hangout with some great friends. Being there in the Summer made me realize I MUST stay there next Spring/Summer. The only way I'm not going to be there then is if I leave for a study abroad or something great like that. Who knows. Stayed with Erin and Kat, her and I all slept on the tiny bedroom floor in the condo right below ours. I actually think it's the exact condo and room that Courtney lived in! We went to 7 Peaks with the Brintons and rode down the scary tall slides face first on a mat. SO SCARY! Stephen coaxed me into doing it and I was terrified but really happy afterwards that I did!
- The family reunion was a blast! I cannot believe how blessed I am to be in such a fun/wonderful family. I tried to spend some time with cousins that I don't see as much and ended up spending a lot of time with the Pelfrey's. They are so much fun to be around!
- On the way to the airport I drove with Courtney and Andy and we were literally 3 seconds from pulling over and Courtney barfed in the rental car. Pretty gross but mostly I felt bad for her. She's been throwing up a lot! I'm scared that's what I have to look forward to as well when I get pregnant..
- I read The Hunger Games in 2 days. Loved it. I cannot WAIT to read the next one-the movie will be so great too!
- Spencer and Ashley got engaged while he was in California before her birthday! He did it with a cute little scrap book. Right now they're looking at either October 8th or the 22nd. Tyler is even going to make it all the way from Brazil even though he just came in July and is coming back for Christmas. They were kind of in a tough spot planning it because Courtney can't come at Christmas because it's too close to her due date and Tyler didn't really want to come again in between (for obvious reasons). I would be very sad if either Courtney or Tyler weren't able to come to my wedding so I'm really happy it worked out for them!! It will be fun to have the little baby dinosaur as a sister now!
- At the beginning of the Summer I was probably the most anti-social I have ever been in my life but now I've started to try and hang out more. I've been hanging out a lot with Mckay Hatch, Emily Nance, Jamie Lunt and my brosky. It's been lots of fun. I haven't been interested in one boy down here but that's okay. You win some you lose some right?! Haha. And I have a feeling there may be a reason I haven't..
- I've been looking for a job for next year so that I'm not just draining my bank account all year and so that I can hopefully stay up in Provo all year. I'd been applying around and my brother-in-law Nate offered to have me work remotely for them in Utah. $12 an hour-much better pay than most jobs I could get in Provo. And I get to work from home-so nice! It fits right in with my schedule and doesn't set me back at all. I was thinking about graduating a semester early but now I definitely still have 2 full years left. Which is fine with me because I actually love going to BYU. I am really going to miss it when I graduate. It is such an amazing place.
- I'm getting reallllllly anxious to go back up to Provo. It's definitely going to be another wonderful year. We're down to less than a month! (hopefully, but unlikely) I will post again before I get up there. If not, I'll have to update you there.
YAY!! Cannot wait to go back up to school.
P.S. sorry for my usual overload because of not writing for so long-I think that was a pretty good, pretty short update for the last 2 months of my life.
Love,
Liese
