missions

gotta love the missionaries. i went and played two hand touch football.......with them on monday and it was SO FUN. there were a few other people who werent missionaries but i was the only woman and i killed it. i definitely scored (they stopped going easy on me) and got us some yardage.

the one i'm sitting on is NOT a missionary. he's a convert. they gave me his number and told me to hang out with him and turns out he's a pretty funny guy.

does this happen to you?

normal day, walking home from church and i stumble upon the puerto rican parade going down 5th ave. there's a video, but it only shows half of what i saw. it's long, but pretty funny.

then the other day we went to the museum crawl. on 5th ave, they had the street blocked off and all the museums were free and there was all this crazy stuff going on and chalk on the ground and stuff, here are some pics.

adam and i have been hanging out a lot lately....and he loves to take photos of me. so here are a few.

central park. 

at our favorite restaurant.

the boat basin cafe. 

at a little cafe on 84th street and columbus.

we decided to go to the bronx zoo! so funny and so sketchy. the only. THE ONLY. white people in all of the bronx until we got to the zoo and it was like a 15 minute walk.

it was so hot. i was sweating through my shirt (hot). this is a picture of me and a couple lions. can you see them.

 licking a giraffe's rear end.

 adam took this artsy photo of me waiting for him.

 this is the giraffe essentially eating OUT OF adam's mouth.

someone took this photo of us with our lion friend. adam and i are about the same height. the room was misty in there, that's why it looks weird and we look so hot messy.

nothing can be planned.

why buy a plane ticket months in advance when for $50 more you can buy one for the next day?
one minute i'm getting sassed harder than ever by my boss, the next minute i'm getting dropped off by her amazing husband at the bus stop (he hugged me, kissed my cheek and said "have a safe trip").
i took a bus to manhattan then a taxi to my friends apartment where we had the time of our lives, went to CPK did a little bit of this, a little bit of that, and then they dropped me and my bags off at the subway station at 3 am. the next day at 1 i was picked up by adam at the airport in the SLC. then, we had a family party here and i thoroughly enjoyed everyone. i have the best times here.

...being called a 'stupis ass' and loving it.
...being the only woman on a construction sight and being adored.

family.

when i'm sitting on the phone listening to my boss biotch me out about the tiniest things in the world, when i get denied lunch more than once, and when she's standing in front of me rolling her eyes at me, sassing everything i say, and yapping at me about writing this down in my notebook, i often think about what my family would do if they really knew how i was getting treated and it makes me want to cry. you guys would be so disappointed.
