Spring breaaaaak : We got in the car around 4. The all star lineup was brandon Barnard, dare king extraordinaire, hilarious, quippy, and that friend who just absolutely pushes you to your limits- his fiancée and Erin's replacement maddie cowan, dance major at byu and cutie laid back freshman from Oklahoma, Isabella housel, angel on earth, and my paul bateman, best friend and our Seattle connection. Started off strong all the way through Idaho and into the dark with good talks and rest periods, i took a driving shift around 9. Watercolored a bit in the car, and heard about the missionaries that Bella has been set up with by her various friends, who she is writing to and waiting for them to come home. Skye made her zone leader write a resume for Bella, hahah, and we watched old funny videos of Skye. All empty-stomached around 1 am, we stopped at a greasy Dennys in tiny little Pendleton Oregon- but not before calling to make sure they were open, paul on he phone to a very sarcastic employee: "hi yes... do I need to make... a reservation?" Him: "I'm sure we can kick someone out to fit you in..." From there it was a dark blur until we pulled up to issaquah- at 7 AM- and paul made us stop at his old high school to try and say hi to his old band teacher- everything was locked haha. Stopped at early morning seminary to try and catch rosa- she wasn't there because she was sick. Got home, Slept in til 11-12. Slept at Paul's house Woke up with French toast from Suzanne, headed out to the Pike place waterfront. kirk bateman, brother, rosa bateman cutest bunny ever and Abby came. We ate at Ivars, went o the market: ate ghost pepper jelly, bought chocolate pasta, spilled blue honey sticks on Paul's shirt, dance battles, brandon solo danced for the fiddler, a Vietnamese magician guy taught us about unity, Kirk kissed monkfish, visited the gum wall and took a pyramid picture and lots of portraits, paul completed his date of a front flip into the puget sound and wore a pair of girls sweatpants home. Lol. We went to molly moons, it was sunny and freezing. Drove home. Best first kiss ever, the end.
