Yesterday I moved into my new apartment and I got to go boating with Braxton Dutson. Taylor Telford (my fabulous new roommate), my little brothers Cody and Mark and I left our house by 7:45 and were checked into our new apartment at Canyon Terrace by 8:20. Then came the fun part: carrying all of our belongings up 4 flights of stairs. Let me just say that I was so grateful for our little helpers and shout out to Ginelle Jack and Anna Stewart for helping us move in also! :) For us to have storage under our beds we had to get cinder blocks to put under our bed frames. Keep in mind that these cinder blocks are in the basement storage and we are on the third floor, in short let me just say that I am not nearly as strong as I thought I was and that cinder blocks really like to scratch up BYU girls. When all of my boxes, suitcases and such were in my room I took my little brothers home and changed into my swim suit and drove back to Provo to start unpacking and wait for Braxton to pick me up. He picked me up after a little while and we drove to his house in Payson, where I got to meet the dogs, the cows, the cats and the rat. Then we got the boat ready and set off for the lake. We went to Utah Lake which was surprisingly clean, I wasn't complaining. :) I stayed in the boat for most of the trip mostly because I just love riding in the boat. Braxton and the other people that came with us wake boarded which was really cool to watch, especially when Braxton did cool tricks. The tubes were then pulled out and Braxton (who seems to made for the lake) was the first one out on the tube with two of his friends. They do extreme tubing which means they try to get each other off their tubes in any way possible. That was really funny to watch. Then it came to be my turn to tube. It was a blast, but very tiring. (Note to those who will ever go tubing it is ten times more fun to be on your knees than to be on your belly.) Braxton's dad who was driving did go easier on us, probably because he didn't want me to cry, which I don't think I would have, but hey I was grateful. :)
After we were done tubing we docked the boat and went back to Braxton's, where he took a shower and I ate a sandwich with his two little brothers and his dad. Let me just say that, that was one of the best sandwiches I have had in a long time. (It could have to do with the fact that I was famished, but that is beside the point.) We then went to my house where I took a shower and Braxton fell asleep on my couch while watching my little brother play video games. After a quick shower and throwing on some clothes I woke Braxton up and we went out for ice cream at Cold Stone, which was amazing as usual. Then we stopped in at Braedon's (our friend from Sprinkler World) wedding reception said hi, talked for a minute, got the really good desserts that are at every wedding reception then he took me to my apartment. He gave me a hug and then set off for Salt Lake where he goes to the U I know, but hey he is a good kid. I then started to unpack my room and two hours later everything was at least out of the boxes and suitcases and put somewhere in Taylor and my room. Then I took a quick trip to Walmart to pick up milk, bread, and Gatorade (the basics).Over all it was a very full, tiring, but awesome day. :)
