I went to a Luau with my roommate, Lynn on Aug 5. It was really awesome. We envied the way all the girls could move their hips, drooled over the males dancers, and were wowed by the fire knife dancer.
Fire!
Roomies
Guys in skirts... surprisingly attractive
See above :)
The night after that I watched the final installment of the Lord of the Rings trilogy, Return of the King. I think that I need to re-watch all of them now and pay better attention. Extended versions maybe?? :)
The next afternoon I went to dinner at the Vanfleets (our family friends in town; my "BYU Family"), and Evan came as well. They wanted to get to know him better, and it went well. They always serve a delicious dinner, and I love their family! They're so much fun!
The following week my friend, Erika, got her mission call to Poland. It was an interesting week for her, as she got hit by a truck on her bike the previous weekend. She was miraculously protected from any major injury, and was able to walk away minimal injuries. I guess that she is really needed on her mission in Poland!
After the mission call opening, some friends and I went to the duck pond, then to Wendy's, and tehn watched The Count of Monte Cristo. I'd never seen the movie before, but I loved the book when I read it in high school. Reminded me of how excellent a story it is.
The next night was a sad one for me and a lot of my good friends. Taylor, one of those good friends, was leaving us to go home for a few weeks before she moved to Idaho to attend BYU-I there. We spent the night at a Relief Society closing social, and then Evan worked on Taylor's car for a while to make sure it was ok to drive to Salt Lake.
Eating tons of otter pops the night before she left...
Later that night, when she was safely on her way, he and I drove up to the Provo temple and climbed up the hill behind it and sat talking for a while. I love having a temple so close!
Friday night was date night up at Evan's parents' house. Evan's car needed to be washed, so we did that as our activity, and then had dinner with his parents. We came back to his apartment and watched an episode of Psych, then watched Toy Story 3 which Evan had never seen. I love that movie! I had a great night with Evan, too. :)
On the following Monday, Evan had the day off so when I got off my morning shift he and I went for a hike up Bridal Veil Falls. It was lots of fun, and the first time I've done it. We got pretty darn soaked, especially my shoes, but had a lot of fun doing it!
Stinker.
Hard to see, but he's can be cute when he wants to

We went home and changed clothes, then went out to eat at Red Robin. It was my first time eating there, and I really enjoyed it! We got fancy lemonades and limeades to drink, and delicious burgers, and best of all, SWEET POTATO FRIES!! Yum! That night we watched Mall Cop for FHE. It's one of Evan's favorites. Reminded me of the stupid humor of Napoleon Dynamite and Nacho Libre that I so love. :)
The rest of the week was full of work, and there wasn't time for much else.
