you don't like it, deal with it.
My awesome friend, Rachel, and I were planning me to visit her in her home town sense the beginning of this semester. So we planned for me to come the weekend that started spring break. I couldn't wait for this moment to come. All semester I was waiting for it to come.
The Thursday before spring break, I rode the Salt Lake Express down to Salt Lake. I left at 3 from the university. 2 other girls were on it and then we picked up a professor and a high school student at smiths. We all talked for the first 10 minutes and then we did our own things. I studied for my test that was the next day.
The ride was pretty quick. We dropped the people off at the airport and then the guy took me to downtown slc. For some reason he didn't think I was going to hear him but he started to fart in the van... okay awkward.
I got off the van and walked by the Temple to the trax. I got on and then it told me I had to switch trax to get to central station. So I had to wait longer. I finally got to central station and had to wait longer for the frontrunner to get there. After 15 minutes it finally came and I got on. The train was delayed at some spots but I finally got to Orem. I waited for my ride. My parents came but they did not see me standing there. So I ran after them and they kept looking for me. They finally stopped.
We went to my house were I rested for an hour and took a quiz. I then left with my sisters car back up to Logan. Let me tell you, why are there so many people driving at 9 at night on a Thursday!?!? And I hate driving in the dark.
I finally got to my apartment.
The next day went by. I took my test and went to get my car from Smiths parking lot. I put my stuff in the car and then Slade and I did some errands.
I left for Afton Wyoming. I was so nervous to drive threw 3 canyons and to see Rachel. I was going slow threw the canyons but I finally reached Rachels town. I found her street but I couldn't find her house so I called her. She was stalkerish and told me where to go.
I was so excited to see her!!!! We went in her house and her Grandma was sitting in a chair. I called my parents and let them know that I was at Rachels. Rachels parents were gone so we had to watch her Grandma who had dementia. While Rachel went to work, they had a girl come over and watch her grandma. The girl was watching Transporter 2, so a crazy action movie.
Rachel started to show me around and then her grandma was calling out "Larry." So Rachel went to her.
Her grandma was telling her how men were coming after us. I was standing off to the side so I thought she was talking about me. But Rachel started saying that no men were after us and the windows were fine. Rachel finished her tour.
Her grandma started to get up and go to the bathroom so Rachel helped her and then took her to her bed. We then left and she showed me the downtown at night. We went to burger king and had something to eat. She then showed me her high school, her work, the hospital she was born at and then some old houses.
I took my stuff inside. Rachel got her xbox and we started to play minecraft. We played for awhile and then she asked me if I would like to sleep on the couch or downstairs and I told her it would be weird cause its a house I don't know. So she got some blankets and put it in her room. She grabbed the Emperors New Groove and put it in. She likes to fall asleep to a movie.
I slept on a yoga mat. Ugh, painful. We woke up at like 7:50 cause she had to go to work and I was going with her. The girl came and started taking care of her grandma. We left for her work.
She was the only one who had to work on Saturday. Oh and she works at the vets office. So I took out the animals for walks and to go to the bathroom. There were two basset hounds and they were so loud. Rachel did little chores and I helped. We talked and when people came to get food or medicine, I ran into the back.
We were there until 12:00. We closed the store and left. We went back to her house and Rachel changed. We left to go to another town. It was about 15 minutes and it was called Thayne. We got this really good white sauce pizza.
Rachel took me all the way up to Alpine, the top of star valley. There was this cool looking elf refuge they have. We went back to Afton. It was probably 40 minutes from Afton. Rachel showed me her fiances house, her school in the light, the spot where her fiance proposed and her reception place. We then went to the small gift store and looked around.
We then went to redbox and got a movie. We went to her house and the girl left. He grandma was saying how there were 2 other girls after us and we should be careful.
We started playing some more minecraft. Rachel is a crazy minecraft player. She hates mining and she just likes building but she doesn't like creative mode. Her grandma kept telling us to turn off the lights and turn off the tv. It was 7 and Rachel was trying to get her grandma to go to bed. She thought we were on a car and then she thought we were in a trailer and we needed to turn off all the lights so people can't find us.
Rachel said a little prayer with her to help her feel better and tried but she wouldn't move. She asked for me to come over and asked me to turn off the lights but I told her that we couldn't cause we need to see where we are going before we got to bed. After that she went to the bathroom and was confused about her room but went to bed.
Rachel and I were quiet cause we didn't want her to come out and freak out. She had her fiance and her friend texting her. It was interesting. Im not going to say anything about it cause its more personal, but lets just say that I admire Rachel for being so strong. So we ate some food and then started to play Doctor Who Monopoly and watched Pitch Perfect. It was her first time trying to use her blue ray player. She was so amazed how it worked. It was so funnt..... Let me just say I won monopoly. :) haha
We got some yogurt and watched the tv edited version of Zombieland. Rachel decided she wanted to watch 1000 ways to die, so we watched 2 episodes. We forgot it was daylight savings time so we went to bed around 1, which was really 2.
We woke up in the morning to her very creepy alarm. Her grandma was already up, which Rachel was kind of mad about cause she doesn't get up until 11. She was hoping it was just some deer on there porch.
We ate some breakfast and Rachel went to take a shower, so I chilled in her room. We then got ready for church. A different older lady came and we left for church. We walked there. Her singles ward is mixed with a family ward for sacrament but it was so small.
After church there was a linger longer. We had some cake and went back to Rachels. Just an fyi, her church is so cool looking. The lady did her grandmas hair and left. Rachel helped her in the bathroom and then we just talked in her room while I put away the blankets and my stuff.
We were taking some picture when her grandma was asking for Rachels mom, another fyi, her grandma thinks that Rachel is still 12. Her grandma fell and Rachel had a hard time helping her up. She got her up and into her chair and we finished out pictures. She helped me get my stuff to my car. We hugged and talked a little bit.
I left. I filled up at a maverick and went from Afton Wyoming to Orem Utah. 4 and a half hours. Wyoming drivers are so nice and then there is Idaho, they are okay but also bad and then the awful Utah drivers. I know I am a Utah drivers but I can't stand Utah Drivers. We suck at driving.
I am so glad that I got to see Rachel. It makes me miss her more and I want to visit her lovely home town again,.
