Wisdom Teeth

That's right. They're out folks! And I have quite a bit of hilarity planned for you. But you have to be patient and hear about some other stuff first. Ready...go!

Monday night I ditched my FHE family for my real family. Corbs came down for a little while just to hang out. I sure do love him.

First we ate dinner at The Wall. He approves. Our menu is expanding! We now have: chicken pita sandwiches (to die for), basil or roasted tomato pizza (or half and half if you're me, because I'm indecisive and they're both so dang good), pazookie (giant gooey mess of half baked chocolate chip cookie with ice-cream--what more can you ask for?), and last but not least cheesecake (valentine's day special!). If that list of food didn't get your tummy growling, I don't know what would.

Next up, we played pool for all of 30 seconds while waiting for a bowling lane to open! The 20 minute estimated wait time turned out to be 19 minutes too long.

 

 Love this picture. Love bowling. Love my Corbin.

I'm happy to report that I did surprisingly well! Multiple spares and a strike at the end. Isn't that how bowling always goes? Somedays--nothin' but gutter balls. Rare days like this--I have a score to be proud of (for my standards, 119 is good!).

Later that night, Madols brought me a little birthday treat--my favorite cupcake from Sweet Tooth Fairy. She's such a doll and never forgets my birthday, and always brings me a gift. She's great. It was fun to catch up with her--crazy to think we met 16 years ago!

That night while in my kitchen, I hear my door open and a love song start blasting. Sarah and I go to the door only to find about 15 boys interpretive dancing, one holding a boombox, and one on his knees handing us a paper heart and saying, "Happy Valentine's Day!" It was so random, but so fun.

The next morning, Corbin's cat got neutered...

Not sure why this event is blog-worthy...mostly because I like the picture.
You might notice the time--7:43, not a usual time of day I like to see! Me and Kaitlyn decided to judge the STAR events again. This time was far less rewarding. The girls who presented didn't seem to care at all, and it's hard to care about giving them good feedback or scores when you know it's not important to them. Some presentations had so many things wrong that it was basically hopeless. Such a let down.

In the end...worth it! And got a picture where her hand doesn't look like a pterodactyl (definitely had to google how to spell that), and I've got sleepy eyes and a duck face. Awesome.

Worked for a total of 13 hours on Tuesday, I believe that's my record! Here are some of the fruits of my labor:

Drew up this baby up. I'm quite fond of it.

 Preparation for our Valentine's event. Got my heart-cutting skills down to a T. If you only knew how symmetrical and uniform they were...it was impressive. And yes, that stack of hearts were all cut by yours truly--the outcome of about 2 hours of snipping.

Me at work: "I swear I know you from somewhere! Are you sure we haven't met before??"
Customer: "Oh! I know where we met..."
Me: "Serious?! Where!"
Customer: "The pre-existence." (as he gives me a smirk-y smile)
....Only at BYU. That's all I have to say about that.

Mid-conversation with male customer: "I know you want my number. You totally do."
.....well, there's a good chance he was right. (:

I just have to document my compliment from Jean. I won major roommate brownie points for this one. Unfortunately, she broke up with her BF. Fortunately, I know her very well.

Wednesday morning, I awoke bright and early, rode the bus to Draper where my Mom picked me up, and off we went to surgery!
All I remember was getting the needle put it, and then bam, I was home! Strangest thing.
Now what you've been waiting for...drum roll please....
wisdom teeth videos!
Boy oh boy, I've got so many. I'll just share my favorites.

Favorite part of this^^ video:

When I give this little smile to the camera. Cracks me up.

I got a lot of texts like this as well:

from Pari:

Videos out of the way, now story time! 

• I kept trying to call people...mainly John, Andrew, and Corbin. Some answered, and some got lengthy voicemails. I have no idea what I said to these people, and to be quite honest, it makes me nervous! This is the extent of my knowledge about the conversations:

• I sent out snapchats to everyone on my contact list. 
• I took lots of pictures of myself for some reason, want to see some?

 These are the least embarrassing, and once again, no memory of taking these.

• When I got home, I was crawling up the stairs and wouldn't let my mom help me, instead kept insisting "Mom, I can do hard things!"
• If you hadn't noticed from the videos, there were some common things I would not stop talking about: Corbin (Tears. So many tears. Every single time.), chapstick, John, Valentine's day/having a boyfriend, and doubting every time my mom told me they had, in fact, taken my wisdom teeth out. On one occasion, I was sad that they had taken them out. "What if I wanted to keep them?...On a necklace! I would wear it on my mission and tell people, 'these are the things I do for a mission!'"
• I kept pulling the bottom of Libby's dress up with much force because I "wanted to see!" See what exactly? I'm not sure... 
• While watching the Bachelor with my sisters, I kept calling Tierra a B@#$%. Whoops!

Well that's about all I can think of right now. It was pretty funny. The whole weekend was honestly a blur though, in and out of sleep, throwing up (unfortunately...just on the first day though!), and eating jello, yogurt, and apple sauce. Big thank you to my sickly mother who still took care of me despite her own distressed condition! Also, to my friends who visited me and brought me Jamba. Thank you! (:

Monday afternoon I got lunch with Myra at my favorite little place, Food for Thought! I love Myra so much, and it's always great to catch up. Highlight of the week!

Went back to college Monday night, and regular life has ensued. Work and class, that's literally my life. My cheeks only swelled up a little luckily...

And they're back to normal now and healing nicely!

One major change has occurred though, but it requires somewhat of a back-story...

Well, because of the wisdom teeth videos, the cat's out of the bag! I'm ecstatic to announce that I plan on serving a mission! (: Though I know probably 98% of you reading this already know that. But now it's blog-official!

I had been planning to serve after I got back from interning for Disney World this summer, but that plan has recently changed. For various reasons, I have decided not to work at Disney anymore this summer. I will now have an availability date of May 15, and will move out to California to work full time until I leave. This new availability date has moved things along faster! I now could turn in my papers immediately...but I haven't started them yet. So this Sunday, I have an interview to start them and hopefully finish them ASAP! Stay tuned! I'm so happy. (:

Found these great mission-dresses online and ordered them for my birthday! (collar is a necklace) They just arrived, and I love them. Thank you Dad.

Right now it's 2 a.m. and I'm writing this because I have been having the worst trouble sleeping the past couple days. I don't know what the deal is, but I just lay in bed for hours and toss and turn all night! Well, I'll go try to sleep for the third time tonight. Have a lovely day everyone!
