"SHE SAID YES."

-that's probably my FAVORITE part of the movie The RM. It's SO funny. That's the part where Jared had just hung up with the girl he asked on a date and then wanted to call his sister and brother-in-law to tell them the exciting news. As soon as the phone picks up Jared says, "She said yes." in this really funny and confident voice. But! He had accidentally called the girl back and said that to her. So he tries to play it off all cool and it's just hilarious.
Great movie :)

Anyway, there is a point to this I promise :)

So the boy I asked to sweethearts answered me on Friday! We had to do pep band for the basketball game... (who the heck plays a game on a day we don't even have school!? doesn't that kinda defeat the purpose of having a day off?)...so I went to the school at 6 and found an interesting note on my locker. I got all excited while I read it :) haha and the entire band room was full of people. (In fact, I was late to rehearsal so the whole room was full of people standing in an ark playing music. #awkward.) So I opened up my locker and found.......

THIS ^ *

It. Was. Adorable.

His note said something like "all the hearts are numbered and if you put them in order you'll find your answer." Anyway the stuff written on the hearts was so funny. Most of them were just random things :) But 17 of them pertained to the answer and Anna and Katie helped me find them all :) We decided that laying them on the floor was the easiest way to go about it.

These are hearts #1-17 :)

They said: Dearest Locker #89, I would be honored to go to sweethearts with you so yes. Sincerely, Garrett.

All the hearts :) So awesome.

Anyway I'm pretty excited for this dance! I got my dress yesterday :) It's pretty awesome and I can't wait to wear it. I'm DETERMINED to have a good time at this dance. I'm quite confident that my choice of a date is a good one... but we'll see ;) hahaha

Only 129 more days until I graduate. Holy. Hannah.

Time is going by so fast. It's insanity.

But that's okay...cause then Scott will be home sooner :)

...I've been missing him a lot lately.

And it's hard because there are certain things I'd talk about with him.

Things I couldn't talk about with anyone else. Mostly because they just don't understand.

He just gives such great advice.

Sometimes he just listens.

Anyway, I'm having what I like to call "Scott problems".

Ya know, those things I can only talk to him about...

Well, he's not here. And sometimes I just can't get it all out on paper.

Plus, I really don't want to make him worry about me right now.
He's got a lot on his plate, being a missionary and all.

Anyway, I just feel like I'm stuck. With no one to talk to about these things.

Because no one GETS it like he does.

It'll be okay though. He's serving the Lord right now. And I wouldn't want him to be anywhere else.

FIVE HUNDRED more days.

:)

I like the dead animals in this picture. So awesome ;)

Loves. <3

*disclaimer: My locker is in a little bit better condition than it was in marching band season, but it's still quite terrible. At least it didn't look like this >>> (my locker right before Christmas Break :P ) Hahaha. Anyway in most non-band kid situations (I say this because most band kids are all such close great friends [not really] who all basically live at their lockers [it's like the band room is a little town and every one's locker is like their own little house!], and locker decorating is a really big "dance" thing that we just do. I'm not quite sure who exactly set this precedent but whatever. That's just how it works.) the answerer would do something similar to this to one's bedroom. Since it's usually nice to give some warning, your mother would go straighten up your room for you to make sure it was presentable and the person wouldn't ditch the date knowing how messy your bedroom is. Well, in this case, my mother knew nothing... and she could not prepare my sanctuary for inspection of a boy. I guess this just taught me a lesson to keep my crap clean and organized :P
