quick weekend recap.

friday night, john and i went to our friend phil hurst's surprise birthday party.  there were several of john's friends there, and it was so great to see and hang out with everybody.  after some delicious cake and cider {briana is an expert at cooking delicious things, the cake tasted like a chocolate orange} we played backwards charades and signs with the remaining bunch.  it was a lot of fun.  sometimes john and i tend to be anti-social, {probably because the little time we spend together, we feel like spending alone.  plus we're lazy....} but it was nice to remember that i actually do have fun in a group of people.  silly me to forget that.

saturday, i hid in the library for awhile, and then came home to john playing black ops.  i cracked the whip and we cleaned for awhile, but then ended up being L-A-Z-Y.  we watched about ten movies, watched the jazz vs. mavs game {i don't really want to talk about it}, and ate a rather-depressing dinner at some greek restaurant in orem.  not that the food was particularly horrible - but when you fall in love with a splendid greek place in salt lake, it's kind of difficult to accept a sub-par place of much lower quality.  {especially when the workers at the greek broiler in salt lake know your faces so well that they say, "hey, long time no see." [wink] each time you come for a falafel}

sunday, george and leslie flew in {yay!} and ryan and janessa came over.  we played a funny game where you have to finish a lyric of a song, the second half of a proverb, a line from a play or book, or a quote from a movie.  i have learned that i do pretty well with the proverbs {as did most of us} but can't finish famous lines from american presidents to save my life.  it was a fun night and i desperately needed the break from studying!  i should probably end this post now though, since "brevity is the soul of wit."

I took this video last saturday.  i thought it was hilarious.  listen carefully, and you can hear me say: "i won't put it on the blog!" yep. that was a lie and a half.
