Today was a pretty awesome day, Sunday's usually are though I have to admit.
I got back from work and slept for an hour or two before waking up and rushing off to church so that I could make it in time to teach my RS lesson. I went a little over, but there was a fair amount of participation and the EQ lesson went even longer than ours so I was pretty ok with it in the end. I'm really trying to stop being so critical of myself when I teach a lesson. The rest of church was good. We went to Jaime's preach my gospel class to support her and Lisa played a musical number in Sacrament. She did her own rendition of All Creatures of Our God and King. It was really good I only dream that I might learn to play an instrument that well. I know what you're all thinking "You can. If you just work at it and practice hard enough." which is true. But you have to admit that some people just have a natural musical ability/ talent that I don't. But I really am going to start trying to learn.
After church Dave received a text message from his old roommate and our mutual friend Cody asking if we wanted to play games or something I don't know what Dave texted him back but Dave came over and we had some lunch and then we laid down on my living room floor and took a nap. I don't usually nap during the day but I was so tired and I really needed it. It was glorious. :) Two hours later we awoke to a knock at the door. It was T wanting to know if we wanted to play some board games. We agreed and went over to Dave's because Allen had likewise agreed. Dave at this point texted Cody and asked if he would like to join us for games.
However, right as we got to Dave's Allen informed T that there were some new updates for a computer game that they play but that they were only lasting for the next hour or so (or something of that nature). T promptly postponed all game playing. With the delay Dave and I decided to bake some cookies so that we could give some to our friend Dallin.
I don't know if I wrote about this or not, but on Valentine's Day I got a text from Dallin saying that he had tickets to go see True Grit at 7:20pm but that he couldn't make it and he wanted to know whether or not Dave and I wanted them. The reason he was giving the tickets away was because he works at a silver refinery and apparently had some blowback from one of the furnaces and ended up with some hot plastic burning his face around his eyes and nose. He got a blessing and went to the hospital. We saw him today and the scabs from the burns are already healing over nicely (just another testament to the power of the priesthood, modern medicine, and a lot of faith I suppose.) Also, Dallin found out earlier this week about the troubles that Dave was having with the gas leak in TJ. He has gone above and beyond to help Dave figure out what the problem has been exactly, he even called one of his cousin's to get his advice and called in a favor so that Dave can take TJ in and have the leak looked at if need be. We thought all that was pretty cookie worthy.
After cookies and dinner Cody showed up and we were finally ready to start playing the much anticipated games. Lacey somehow roped a T and a few other people into play Settler's of  Catan even though she knows I hate that game. However,  Dave and Cody were kind enough to play another game called Dominion with me.
It was a really fun night and it was really good to see Cody. He and Dave are really good friends, they really enjoyed living with each other and I know that they both would like to be roommates again one day.
Cody and I were talking today and he asked me "Where are you living in the fall? Because wherever you live is probably where Dave will live. So you should let me know so that I can move there and Dave and I can be roommates again!" haha I'm really glad that they have such a good friendship. It makes me happy.
