Booked

Today is Thursday. That means it's the end of my work week. I'm so excited to get started on what will probably be the last un-booked weekend of my summer.

Oh yeah, I might have forgotten to mention all the cool things I'm doing this summer.

Next weekend: Camping with the ward. Co-ed! Yay! Camping is always more fun with boys (last year, they wouldn't let us camp together, but we got boys anyway, because my now-ex-boyfriend decided it would be fun to four-wheel across the Wasatch Front from Provo Canyon to Hobble Creek Canyon, and they found us there).

Mini rant: I find the objections to co-ed camping (on a ward level) a little bit ridiculous and here's why: if I wanted to get up to some hanky-panky (yes, I just said that), I would NOT do it when I was surrounded by tons of other people staying up all night or dozing in non-sound-proof tents. I would be far more likely to get into trouble in the quiet of my own apartment or in a car. CLARIFICATION: I have no temptation to get up to any kind of trouble while I'm single. I promise. But if I were less good than I am, and had half a brain, a large-group campout would be the last place I'd try anything. /rant

Note: My argument holds considerably less water when applied to a small group of single friends going camping without responsible chaperones. I don't agree with that. 

48 hours (ish) after the ward campout: Lake Powell with my extended fam. Words cannot express how excited I am for this. Or how much packing I still have to do. But my uncle is awesome and agreed to help cover whatever costs I can't afford, because he'd rather have me there than have me miss out. (I love my family.) I'll be gone for a week, skiing, camping, swimming, boating, and playing in the sun. I'll also be carting along about a gallon of sunblock to protect my delicate red-headed skin, which I inherited from my red-headed mother. Hopefully the sunburn I got this week will help a little bit, too.

Once I get back, I'll be launching immediately into packing up all my stuff and moving it to Bountiful. Because yeah, I'm moving to Bountiful. I found a place with an older couple who are willing to rent their basement to me, and they live super close to the bus stop so that I can get to work at the Church Office Building (for the Ensign internship! ^_^).

After that, I graduate, get kicked out of my apartment, and couch-surf for two weeks while I finish up things at work.

If you want me on the weekends, you might have to bargain something valuable.

Although, for a charming man, I may make exceptions. ;)
