She said yes! Officialy Engaged

I have a sleeping problem.  Perhaps a better way to put it would be that I have a problem with sleep.  Why sleep?  Why you gotta come up all in my biz and get in my face like dat?  I already dedicate hours a day to my three jobs, homework, church responsibilities, a goat, and stalking people over the Internet.  You want 8?  To add emphasis, you want EIGHT?!  And if I don't deliver, you attack me and knock me unconscious right in the middle of lecture.  Root.  I still can't believe it... 8 hours?  Don't be ridiculous.  Ain't no body got time for that. 

It was a busy but nonetheless awesome weekend.  I guess that makes sense because I wouldn't waste my time with something that wasn't awesome anyways.  Well, with the exception of Sport Chalet that is.

A friend of mine, Andy, went through the Temple for the first time on Friday.  Andy is going to be serving a service mission starting tomorrow.  On Friday, I was his escort.  Though I know that the experience was super awesome for Andy, it was also really good for me.  It's been four years since I went through for myself and going through with Andy caused me to "relive" that in a way.  As we went through, I just thought of what things would be like from his perspective, what questions he would have, and things that would stick out to him.  I've been through countless times since I first went and some things just don't stand out anymore after all the repetition.  It was super grape.

If that wasn't cool enough, I also was privileged to hear Elder Holland speak.  He was in the area for an 11-Stake leadership training meeting and used the chance to also attend the Stake Conference for the Pleasanton Stake.  Though everyone who showed up, either from the Pleasanton Stake or from another Stake nearby, to hear Elder Holland's words, the rest was really good too.  That's the second time I had heard Elder Holland speak in person.  The first time was in the MTC.

Going back to Saturday, I had sushi for the first time.  It was good, except for the spicy stuff.  Thanks Dave.  We had to wait for an hour before sitting down (racism), but it was alright.  It's a good thing I don't keep sushi in my fridge, because I'd eat it.  A lot.  If I wasn't losing weight I would have to start watching my diet.  I haven't had much time for running or going to the gym since the semester started.  I'm turning into a chubby nerd.  Merilee hates it.

Oh by the way, Hayley, Merilee's roommate, was proposed to by her boyfriend Ben.  She said yes and they're officially engaged!  I guess Merilee will be looking for a new roommate in the coming months.
