So there's this song...

And I'm kind of in love with it. What's it called you ask? Boogies and Trees. It is the best song I have ever heard (and not just because it's all about me). But my best friend Courtney Cook wrote it. It makes me so happy. :) This is the video. It's the best song ever!



Now I'm going to talk about my weekend. :) Well... Friday I baked stuff. And played my ukulele. Then Saturday I went to Riverton and saw my best friend Utah Katie. We went to taco time and arctic circle. And we played super mario and super smash bros. Wii! While wearing our snuggies. :) Then we ate eggo waffles. And then we watched Moulin Rouge. :)
Sunday was my dear friend Elder Burton's mission farewell. It was great to see him one last time before he heads to the MTC. Maybe if I scope out the MTC every day I can see him? ha. Anyway. He gave an absolutely amazing talk! Everyone loved it. And he looked so dashing! :) After his farewell, we went to the Holloway's house! I sure do love that family! We hung out and ate brownies, watched youtube, and listened to Garrett tell stories about his epic life. It was a jolly good time! They updated me on the life of Dallon so that was muy bien as well! :) After that we went to Nate's house.. where they fed us and we got to talk to Nate (and watch his adorable little brother run around like a maniac. A very adorable maniac). We took some photos. YAY.
And then I headed off to see the old roomies and to pick up my mail they had been holding hostage. Derek was there too. So we all got to catch up a little bit over a dinner of gluten free chicken 'n' dumplings. That was fun. After that I headed back to good ole Provo just in time for WARD PRAYER. WOOOOO. So exciting. :)
After that my home teachers came over. They're pretty cool. They talked to us for almost 3 hours. And it wasn't boring. We had a jolly good time. (I don't know what's up with my use of the phrase "jolly good" tonight). They showed us some of their hidden talents and we discussed everything that is new in our lives. It was great.
Today (which is technically part of the weekend for me) I played my ukulele and made bread. Happy Valentines day. I won't say I hate it... but I definitely don't love this holiday. I think love should happen every day.. not just today. Sure.. like any girl I love an excuse to eat chocolate and smell the sweet scent of flowers, but really I don't think I need a holiday to tell me to love someone.. or to show them that I love them. I'm just going to do it any day I feel like it. So there! :)

And now The top 10 reasons why I love Courtney Cook:
10. She always always listens to me even when all I'm doing is complaining or babbling about something.
9. She paints me with her boogies on trees.
8. She sings to me and plays her guitar/ukulele for me
7. She listens to all my crazy schemes and stories. (even if they're impossible or boring)
6. She never fails to brighten my day.
5. She is ALWAYS happy.
4. The song "Boogies and Trees" that she wrote.
3. She's the blondest lost boy that I know.
2. She's Courtney Cook... who doesn't love her?
And the NUMBER ONE reason I love Courtney Cook...

1. She has the same shirt as me. :)

Yeah. That's the number one reason. Bahaha.

Well, that's all. Ciao!
