Anyway, I got the coolest gift ever for Valentine's Day this year:

A card from my grandparents. Yay! (haha)

Actually - I got flowers from my Best Friend. Beautiful white and pink ones (daisies and lilies). Yay!

Also. A cake mix from my Best Friend. Aww. Sweet, huh? It was wrapped in tin foil and everything. ;)

Wow. What a fantastic V-Day. (And I am NOT being sarcastic. I honestly loved it.)

Tuesday, Best Friend and I went to Circo Aero. Oh my freakin goodness gracious to hannah to betsy. It was INCREDIBLE. Seriously. I've had the music from it stuck in my head all week long. Loved it.

Me.

I'm sitting at the library and I have nothing to do.

Alright. That's not true.

I have a couple of TV shows I could catch up on with Hulu.

Or I have some homework I could do if I really really wanted to.

The problem is, I don't really really want to.

I don't even want to.

So I thought I would blog a little.

But I don't have anything to blog about.

Wow. Lame.

Hmmm....

Yup. It's just like it sounds. And it was a blast!

It was my turn to plan a date, so I asked my Best Friend if he would go on a date with me. He said yes.
Haha.

Well, Best Friend said he wanted an apron for cooking, and I said I would make him one. However, I didn't know what kind of apron he wanted. There are a TON of options when looking at patterns and I had no idea what he would like. Or what kind of fabric he would like either. It was rough.

So, I decided to just ask him! And so that's what we did for our date. We started at Wal-Mart and picked our fabrics (actually, he picked them all. Even the one for mine. He's so awesome.) Then we went back to the house and made dinner, then I pulled out my sewing machine and we got started!

(PS. I was going to document all of this, but forgot cuz I got so excited. :( Sorry. I feel oober lame.)

...ANYWAYS...

So we made aprons. I measured to Best Friend first, then I made him cut out some while I sewed, then we traded.

(Did I mention that we didn't use a pattern? I looked at a couple online, but I was too lazy to look them up. So I made it up as I went. That makes the fact that they actually turned out good pretty impressive.)

I was surprised he didn't know how to use the sewing machine. So I taught him. He is now an incredible line-follower. Haha.

Best Friend's is instruments and mine is polka-dots. Both are reversible and denim on the other side. Yay!

Last night I got to go with my Best Friend to a dance lab that he was participating in at the Wilk.

It was lots of fun.

There were lots of good dancers, lots of learning dancers, and a few fantastic dancers.

As much as I loved being there and thought it was awesome and fun... It reminded me how much I miss dancing.

I am not doing ANYTHING dance related right now. It sucks.

I wish I could dance all the time and everywhere.

But. Until that happens again, I will gladly support my Best Friend is his dancing adventures.

Besides, I can always dance with him, right? ;) Yay!

That's right.

This is how I spent the majority of the day. Go me.

I went snowboarding this weekend. WOAH! What an experience.

My Best Friend wanted to go really really bad, and decided that this weekend was the perfect opportunity because he was invited for a conference-thingy. I'm not entirely sure what it was. I just know it was a bunch of accountants on the mountain.

So all last week, Best Friend searched and searched for snow pants and a snow coat for me to wear (since I own neither. Crazy, right? I've lived in Utah my whole life and don't own snow pants. Best Friend is from Texas and he owns snow pants. Whatever.) He finally found them, and my fate was set in stone.

Saturday morning we ate breakfast and went up to Sundance. The day overall was nice and chilly but not cold. Moving around kept you very warm. We layered up and went out.

Here are my feelings about snowboarding: It was a good experience.

Seriously. Looking back on it, I can honestly say that I enjoyed the day. HOWEVER. I was extremely grumpy and sore (before the day even started) and so I was definitely not 100% adventurous. I did ok during the day. Only fell down 50000 times. Pretty reasonable for someone who can't even stand straight on a skateboard, right? Overall, pretty successful, and it was a good experience. :)

Plus, Best Friend got to do a couple big runs (alone, but he still did them), so he said it was a good day.

Yay!

A good friend of mine, Katie Weber, has the most adorable blog. Feel free to check it out: http://www.simplykateweber.blogspot.com/ . (Since most of you already have anyway...Oh well.)

Anyway, one of my favorite things that she does is go through and list some eventful things that happened in the previous month.

So I'm stealing it. Yay!

2.  First Sunday School lesson ever. (That I've taught. Thought I should clarify.) Woah. Got asked if I was an RM. Double woah.

3.  My Best Friend got back to Provo from Texas! It was super crazy trying to navigate the airport alone. But fun. In a stressful way, of course.

7.  First date of the New Year. Christmas Present Exchange. Good time.

14.  First Big Adventure of the year - a trip to Idaho! (My first time.) We stayed for three days.

17.  Saw Winona in Logan on our drive home from Idaho. Ate at a DELICIOUS Mexican restraunt. Oh man.

23.  Taylor's farewell talk in Vernal. It was really really really good. I learned a lot. I loved it.

26.  Taylor went into the MTC. I got to have lunch w/ the family before he left. It was very emotional (even though I didn't cry while I was there, I saved up for later) and super awesome. I love my Taylor.

27.  Saw Michelle from the Bachelor at University Mall. Not really important, just really crazy.

29.  Random Adventure to the Gateway and Capitol in SLC w/ Best Friend.
