The first thing I did in Virginia was attend the funeral for Brother Fellows. It was heartbreaking but so amazing to hear all these stories about him and remember him in such a good way. It was great to see so many people there who loved him and had such great memories of this fantastic man.
A few nights later I stayed up with Linda until 5 in the morning. This was a classic renee and linda night. We were sitting on the couch and had our legs on each other so our feet were in each others face. Then we started giving each other feet/calf massages. Talk about a true renee and linda moment. Cause seriously, who else in the world do you do that with? No one. It gets better. We went up to her room at like 4 am (this sounds like the beginning of a dirty story haha). Her bed is a twin so we pretty much have to cuddle on it to both fit so we have our arms wrapped around each other kind of like we're hugging but what we were really doing is scratching each others backs :) This is why we're better than everyone else.
In case anyone is wondering what a renee and linda moment looks like...these pictures should clarify :)
THEN I WENT TO NEW YORK CITY.
oh. my. goodness.
I love that city.
It was my first time there and it was fabulous! I went up to go visit the wonderful Kylie Schrade who was there being a nanny for her cousin Tony. And what happened just a few hours after I got to new york? I won front row tickets to WICKED! That's right, be jealous. I could see every expression on their faces and was so close to all the performers! Then Tony brought us backstage because he's in wicked (awesome, right?) and I got to put on his Emerald City costume and see how everything on the stage works and it was awesome! Then he gave me a signed Wicked poster...win.
Two days later we woke up early to go sleep on a sidewalk for 2 hours to get rush tickets to see How To Succeed In Business Without Really Trying because Daniel Radcliffe (who plays Harry Potter, for those of you who don't automatically know this) is playing the lead right now and I love him, so naturally 2 hours on a sidewalk was worth being that close to him. Oh, and he was so entertaining! I liked him better on Broadway than I did in Harry Potter, which is saying something cause we all know how I love Harry :)
We did so much shopping! Well, I did. I didn't care how much of a tourist I looked like, I bought so many souvenirs. My room is all decorated with new york stuff now and I love it! $35 fabulous bag, $40 fake Coach bag, $25 black dress, $25 hot 5 inch lace heels, I heart NY hoodie and tshirt, a 42nd street sign, pictures of the city, you get the idea...I spent my life's savings basically.
And 42nd street...holds a place in my heart since I was in the musical in high school.
And it was worth every penny. I cannot wait to go back. I'm thinking Time Square for New Years :) It was a perfect three days with the best hosts! Tony and Kylie were so fun and I even had fun with Justin...even though he had a bad attitude most of the time :)
I had one day in Virginia after I got back from New York. I sat at home all day with my family. And what more could I really ask for?
I had a week in St George after returning from home. I got tan, watched lots of girl movies with Kristen, and played with my nieces cause they're adorable. I got back to Provo yesterday. And I miss them already.
I hate moving. More than anything. My apartment is pretty nice and I have my own room and my roommates are good so far. It should be a good year..I just need a good job and to make lots of money. Guess job hunting is the plan for tomorrow :)
16 months til graduation!
