A week ago Sunday our roommate Ben Lockhart's* girlfriend invite our apartment to have an activity with their apartment. She said "So I have this roommate, and she wants to get to know some boys so I thought our apartments should do something together." I suggested that we would make peach cobbler and they buy vanilla ice cream and we would get together on sunday night. So Sunday after the CES Fireside, which was amazing, we played scrabble and had some of my stunning peach cobbler. I'm sorry, I should credit Cody as well for helping me make it, after all, he opened the cans of peaches. On a whole the night was a success.
The following day, Ben comes home from from his girlfriend's apartment and tells me that Jeryn, the roommate that wanted to get to know boys, gave her number to him to give to me and to tell me that she was free on Thursday night. I figured, "well, that's one way to secure a date with me," so I went over and visited her on wednesday and asked her out for Thursday night. We doubled with Ben and Christen, his girlfriend. I planed out the date it was really fun. First we went to the Museum of Art on campus, they had their opening night of their new exhibit, "Open Spaces", which was a lot of midwestern art. Afterward at 9 when it closed we went up to the bell tower and roasted marshmallows on the bell tower lights. I made a little stand out a metal hanger so we didn't have to hold the marshmallows and blind ourselves staring into the light till they were done. With the mallows we made Smores, which were really good. The date was really fun and we all enjoyed ourselves.
In an effort to not was a good weekend, on Friday Cody and I tried to put some planes together but they all failed miserably so in a last ditch effort to do something fun we visited an apartment of girls in our ward that had a sign posted in there window "Cute Boys Welcome". It turned out that they were going on a night hike up to the Y, they invited Cody and I so we decided to join them. The hike was fun and we got to know them better as well.
On Saturday, after sitting through 4 hours of pain, that was referred to as the BYU, Florida State football game, we decided to go play mellon ball with Ben and his friends. We had no idea what we were to expect but were very pleased that the gist of the game was a rugby wrestling match with a bunch of people and a duct taped cantaloupe in a pool. The object was for your team to get to the other side of the pool with the mellon. The outcome of the game was Cody and I dominating with our height, arm length and skill. The girls that played with us were really good too and also very sneaky at times. Mellon ball has earned its place as my favorite pool game.
Now don't think college is all horseplay. On Sunday I went in early to have an interview with Brother Tillman, our high councilman, per his request. I knew it had to be a stake calling, and was glad to accept the calling of second counselor of the second quorum of Elders in our ward. I was set apart by brother Tillman and the stake presidency later in the day during the Elder's quorum meeting.
For Sunday afternoon we had been invited to Aunt Vanessa's for the annual cousin and friends dinner. The food was divine I got to know many more of the Kellis cousins that were my age.
Now back to my social life, because that is the whole reason I'm at BYU, a girl sat next to me twice in my Doctrine and Covenants class and I decided that was reason enough to ask her out to lunch. Since neither of us have class after Doctrine and Covenants, we went to the Blue Line Deli in the Tanner Building, Its a bit expensive but the pastas are really cheep so that was what we got. It was lots of fun talking and getting to know each other better and as to any future plans, well we will see.
College is amazing, and I'm enjoying every minute of it, you are all welcome to come and visit, but remember, any plans you make with me could easily be thwarted by the cute face of a girl who has a night open.
And this is my report.
