Kai Leigh Bow: Monsters, Mission Farewells, Skirts, Letters, Ties....Oh My!

Last week I went to see Monsters University with some friends! It was so much fun and such a cute movie! I loved it! (Maybe not Toy Story 3 loved it, but I definitely did love it!) Afterwards, we went to WalMart and bought cake to eat since it was one of my friend's birthday! I have never seen a cake disappear so quickly! It was a really fun night.

Over the weekend, my friends and I played assassin one night and watched The House At The End Of The Street the other night. Kourtney stayed at my house Saturday night because her parents went out of town. On Sunday, we went to our friend Spencer's farewell. His ward is my old ward, so it felt a little weird to be sitting there with all these people that I know, but haven't seen in over a year. It was his and another guy's mission farewell and it was pretty cool. I got a little teary eyed. :') I love Missionaries!!

On Monday, I helped my friend Olivia make skirts for her friend's bridesmaids. (The following contains my very stubborn opinion of wedding party attire. Do not get offended, its an opinion. So, yeah...) I do not think bridesmaids should wear skirts and shirts. They should wear dresses. Also, they should not be made out of plain old normal cotton. And they should not be made by amateur seamstresses. This is a WEDDING, not church, or school, or every-day life. The end of my rant. Anyways, it was fun! Then I babysat. Then I worked out. Woohoo.

Tuesday I babysat, wrote Jake a letter, and went to work. Super fun. And Kourtney stayed at my house!

Wednesday was flippin' AWESOME! I got my first letter from Jake! (Or should I say Elder Rogers? I don't know.) I danced and sang and jumped for joy and stuff. And I read the letter. It was from before he even went to the MTC, and I had just gotten it. Also, enclosed in the letter was a playing card he had accidentally taken from my house when we played games one night. But anyways, It was a happy day! And Kourtney stayed at my house!

(I feel like I need to say this: I was not, nor am I currently dating Jake. He is seriously just one of my best friends. I know the way I write about him is probably misleading in that way. I have had other friends leave on missions, but since I am so close to him, it has been hard. Writing about him makes it easier. Oh, also, to clear something else up, I do like him. So that also might be why I talk about him a lot.... I'm sure as time goes on, I will forget all about him. I'll probably be married by the time he gets home anyway.)

Today, I babysat and went to the eye doctor. I got new contacts, even though only one eye barely changed. I also made a tie. Not well, I may add, but not completely horribly. It is definitely recognizable as a tie, and probably people who don't sew or know anything about sewing wouldn't see much wrong with it, but it is definitely not worthy of sending to any of my missionary friends. Luckily, there is enough fabric to make 5 more. :P I am excited to make the rest and send them off! I really hope my friends all like them, because I really do! And Kourtney is staying at my house!
