the past few days

Last Wednesday was a day I have been looking forward to since September. Josh, his parents, and I went to a Brian Regan show in Salt Lake.  It was hilarious! One of my best friends Sadie first told me about Brian Regan and we'd listen to him on the way home from temple trips when we were in Young Womens.  I was very happy to find out that Josh's family loves him too! Back in September, Josh & I found out he was coming to Salt Lake, so we told his parents and we all got tickets.  We had pretty good seats, row 19 in the middle, and my face hurt from smiling and laughing all night.  He was doing a live recording during our show, all his jokes were new, and very hilarious. He's funny to listen to, but actually seeing him made all the jokes even more hilarious.  The faces he pulls and the awkward positions he stands in are so hilarious! Josh and I also ate at "The Greek Place" in Sugarhouse before we went to the show. It was delicious as usual. 

Friday, Josh and I headed up to Midway for the weekend.  We went to our friend Jon Matthew's house and sat in his hot tub for a couple hours. This has turned out to be a little tradition the three of us have, every weekend Jon comes up from Price we sit in either the Green's or the Brown's hot tubs, drink some Cactus Coolers/Caffeine free Dr. Pepper, and talk and laugh for hours.  I love it

The next day, we got up early to help out Josh's parents, who are in charge of the activity committee, set up for the Midway 5th Ward Spring Social which was a formal dinner dance.  It was so fun!  There were about 15 tables and each table had a couple who were the hosts.  They would decorate their table and bring plates, glasses, ect. for 8 people and just keep the conversation going at their table.  Josh's mom was worried she didn't have enough hosts, so Josh and I volunteered to be one if she needed us.  When all the tables were set up, they all looked so cool! The dinner was delicious! There was Caesar salad, crisp tasty vegetables, and pasta.  We were so full after dinner we didn't even eat any dessert.  There was a live band there and they were awesome. They played tons of different songs and everyone was dancing and having a blast.  Yes, even I danced. It took a bit of persuasion (ok a lot) from Josh, but once I saw how much fun everyone was having, and the fact that my cute date was dancing by himself, I decided he needed a partner.  It was a lot of fun dancing with Josh and seeing his parents dance. I can tell where Josh gets his fabulous dance moves from.. It was also fun to dress up, eat some delicious food, and spend time with the Greens.  

I randomly got sick on Friday- I lost my voice, then on Saturday I got a cough and I was congested so Josh's dad, (who I found out has a love for drugs haha) gave me some medicine Saturday night.  I slept so good that night that I didn't wake up until noon on Sunday! When I woke up, Josh was going through stuff from his mission.  It was fun looking through his stuff with him and seeing how excited he was reliving those memories.  Then at church, we were able to hear 2 missionaries talk- one just going out on his mission, Nicholas Brown (Jon's brother) and one who just came back- Elder Girch.  He served in the same mission that Josh did.  In fact, Josh was his zone leader (i think, or district leader..) when he got to Texas.  He is such a powerful speaker and the spirit was so strong. Josh's Dad taught sunday school as well.  He puts a lot of time into his lessons and it really shows.  He taught about Jacob and Esau's reunion and gave an example from his mission of forgiveness.  It was a wonderful lesson.  After church we headed up to the Brown's for dinner, then we went back to the Green's and took naps. Later we played games then headed back to Provo.  Driving through the canyon we saw about 30 deer! It was crazy! This weekend was so much fun and I didn't want it to end!
