Another eventful weekend! Yes it even gets better....
Friday, July 1st, 2011
My sister and Mo left for the weekend to go to Utah and visit a friend of theirs who was recently married, (funny fact: she was married on my birthday). Since i had the whole apartment I tried to see if Alyssa wanted to come over. Instead she invited me to Thorntons' Movie/swim party they were holding after a singles ward activity. I know the Thorntons since I could remember. Figuring there would be more people I would know, I definitely went.
Getting off at the Exit for Meridian, I saw someone passing me in a blue (purple) truck, waving. It dawned on me that i recognized it. It was Alex, Alyssa's boyfriend. I laughed. Passed him up to get over to turn onto Hubbard Road to Alyssa's house. I had planned on going to the singles ward activity but I felt a little weird going and not knowing who was going to be there. Just ended up going to Alyssa's house. Lucked out with a fabulous dinner her parents made since I hadn't had anything yet that evening, forgot. After dinner we kinda hung around, Alyssa went to change and we waiting on her. Chad and Kyle were suppose to go but they chickened out because "they didn't want to go." Whatever, they missed out!
We got there, to the singles ward activity as it was ending (whoops). All we saw was 4 square ( a game I remember playing in grade school) and shaving cream all over the ground? Never quite figured out why but o well. Saw people I knew again since childhood (I love Kuna and the fact its small, you practically know everyone). We all headed over to the Thorntons and sat around til we finally decided to set up the volleyball net. Had 2 teams and we started. It was 4 against 5 but well.. Brittany Phillips (became the entertainment of the event) didn't really place. Too busy ducking from the ball instead of hitting it. It was a riot. My sides hurt from laughing so hard.
Eventually we got bored of that and ( couldnt remember exactly who) wanted to try this rubber band thing with me. So basically how it works out.. is you have this GIGANTIC elastic band that is connected at the ends so its like a big rubber band. and 4 people across from each other walk backwards to where it stretches. then the 2 people across from each other will run to the other persons RIGHT and then the other 2 would do it and so on but you gotta do it fast! Interesting, lemme tell ya! It was super fun! I thought I was going to hit someone a few times, ended up falling on my back, I was laughing so hard. I hope I explained it well enough, if we ever do it again, I'll take a video and post it.
After that i just stood around talking with Jeneen, shes one of the Canadians I met Father's Day weekend. I was staring off into space and just so happened there was a guy kinda close to where i was staring (some of the boys were throwing around a football) and this guy, Nathan, was joking making fun of me saying I was staring at his friend because "I thought he was cute." Haha. So I poked my fun back at him. He kept making fun of Jeneen cause she was Canadian and how he doesn't like them and such, so we ganged up and made fun of him. I so love doing that.
Somehow Nathan was told or figured out Jeneen left the keys to her car IN THE CAR! Him and Matt (a friend of his) took off with the car and went for a joy ride. She called them while Alyssa and Alex left, they were tired, so I stayed behind to help Jeneen get her car back. They came back and drove past trying to be funny, silly men. We walked out into the middle of the road so if they came back they would have to turn into their drive way and couldn't get away. Ended up getting in the car only to go into the hills and did some off-roading.. I don't remember what kind of car it was but I was surprised it handled all the crap we did. I felt like i was at a amusement park on some roller coaster, maybe not that extreme but hey I was slightly freaked but not scared. We went down some steep hills. Nathan had done this before so I trusted him... but honestly wasn't 100% sure since I JUST met him. We did this til it was completely dark. We went back to the thorntons, not ever 5 minutes away and they were in the middle/near the end of the movie. Jeneen had to go because she had work at 5 am in the morning. She took me back to my car and I went home. Couldn't stop thinking about all the fun I had that evening.

I woke up with an awesome headache, apparently I wasn't getting much sleep because I was busy having fun. I'll never regret it. Got up did laundry, cleaned, the normal boring stuff. Once it was all done. I got on and found Nathan on facebook, (who doesn't have one??) and we got to talking. Teasing each other, been doing that since last night. He invited me to take a ride on his motorcycle. I've never been on one, if I had, it was when i was really little and was up and down a street. Nathan took me all over the place, Kuna, then to Eagle, and then out a little past Horseshoe bend. Since I suck at deciding where to go.... I made him decided and he took me to the Payette River, on some bank, soo wanted to jump in but we didn't plan on being up there so we didn't bring anything to go swimming in. all we did was take off our shoes and rolled up our pants legs and waded in. Surprisingly.. it was WARM! it felt soo good. We sat up there for a while and chatted, skipped rocks.. mine just like to go towards the other people (no it was not intentional!). Nathan about threw me in, or I should say DROPPED since he held me like 1-2 inches above the water. What a punk! I had to be back to go somewhere else, so he took me back home. We got back early so we hung out even more and talked about ourselves and again were teasing each other. (Surprised? I'm not.) Its funny though, I met him the night before and we clicked so well, I love friendships like this. Same thing with Jeneen. Its the best! He left when I did. I had gone that night to meet up with another old friend from Kuna, Shane (again gotta love Kuna, and the fact its small). Talked to him for about an hour or so til he had to go to work. I enjoyed catching up with him and meeting his lovely wife!! Sarah, his wife, is just perfect for him. Couldn't be more happy for them both.
