Resurrection!

Yeah, you read that correctly. Gir has been raised from the dead! I'm so happy to have him back, despite the fact that I can't edit the playlist that's on him. The important thing is he works and he charges when he's plugged in to the computer.  So excited!

 Life just doesn't seem to want to slow down. I feel as if I've been going nonstop for the longest time now. I don't know how I manage to get sleep with all the stuff I've been doing. This last week or so has been pretty awesome, though, and this weekend was worth the lack of sleep since it was YSA Conference weekend! It doesn't really get much better than hanging out with a whole bunch of people who you don't know to make new friends and learn something new. Friday night's baseball game was so much fun! It was the Tacoma Rainiers against the Salt Lake Bees. And we lost. By a run. Final score was 5-4 Bees. At least it wasn't a shut out. The only real major downside to the game was that we started almost an hour late due to one of the teams not being there on time. It sucked for those of us who had arrived on time.

 

Becky totally took me by surprise by finding me at the game! I knew that she was going to be there but I didn't realize that her tickets were for the section next to mine, so I got to see her! I was super stoked when she came to say hi. It doesn't get much better than when you run into an Odd Squad member. I thought I was going to end up near first base or something with what I had been seeing online for where the sections were for seats and didn't know that section B was one of the places to sit, so I got to sit behind third base. For the most part, it wasn't a bad game to go to for my very first ball game. Free game, free food, friends.... Doesn't get too much better than that.

 Steven and I were so bored during the extra hour wait. There wasn't much to do the whole time except talk, get food, wander around Cheney Stadium. And that, weirdly enough, gets boring. I think by this point we were just flat out complaining about the late start of the game and how the Rainiers were making the Mormons look good (the Rainiers were the ones who were running late and the chances of at least half the Bees being LDS was pretty good). All in all, we somehow managed to survive the boredom during the extra hour long wait and were able to sit through the game. It'll most likely be a very long time before I go to another baseball game again since it isn't too entertaining a sport to watch and I'd rather not have to pay all that money to spend time socializing when I can do that for free.

Poor Steven got bored after the game and before the fireworks as we were waiting to try to leave the stadium to go to the ice cream social at the 12th and Pearl building. It took forever to get to the parking lot and even longer to get to where we were parked since the gate was locked until after the fireworks show, so we were forced to stick around and watch, despite our efforts to leave before the line of vehicles leaving got too horrible. Being bored that night seemed like it was a theme with him. At least while we were at the game, it did.

In the meantime, I got to spend time with this guy on Saturday (Sunday, too)! Definitely fun seeing him. He was trying to avoid the camera by this point, even though lunch was the first time I had brought it out to take pictures all morning (I had it out during breakfast to show him the pictures and videos I took with him in mind) since there wasn't a point to taking pictures during breakfast or devotional. He was so lucky that I only took the two pictures of him that day. Actually, they were the only two pictures I took of him all weekend. So he got off really easy. Lucky boyfriend.
