Long, great, and ruined weekend...

So I went to St George yesterday for a wedding reception. Yeah, a four hour drive. To sweltering heat.It was great! Nah, it really wasn't too bad. It was hot, sure. but it's nothing I haven't felt before.It was so worth it though. I got to see a group of my mission friends. (The people getting married served in my mission, one was a companion of mine.) I also got to practice my french. It was a lot of fun. And they served yummy french foods at the reception. I took pictures of the cake and I'll add them asap. It was really cute.

I also got to spend the night with my friend Emily Mortensen and her sister. We went to Dixie Rock, which provides an awesome view of St George. (I didn't get to try lying on my back and looking down at the city at night like my friend Nathan suggested. He says it looks like the ocean. But anyway, Emily and her sister were so much fun. I was laughing the entire time!We watched two movies: Henry Poole Was Here and Last Chance Harvey. We ended up watching Henry Poole because it was a preview on the Harvey movie. Both were totally cute movies. I recommend both!

I also saw this way attractive guy while I was down there. I felt like a complete dork the entire time he was around! But I'm liking Southern Utah a little more every time i go! :D lol, I get so girly sometimes! It's embarrassing!

So after the long drive home, I still managed to make it in time to lead the music in sacrament meeting. (So I might have been speeding a bit, except where the speed limit changed to 80! I didn't have to speed at all. Nor did I really want to, that was fast enough!)

But grandma had to go and put a damper on the whole weekend! I have to work tomorrow, then I was planning on going straight to Brigham City to help my mom in her classroom. So I was merely being polite and told her, so she could get one of my cousins to come and mow the lawn for her. She said it was okay then 20 min later, she has her evilly nice voice on and tells me that I'll just have to mow the lawn before i go to work then. When I said i couldn't because I need to take a shower and do my hair tomorrow, she tells me that I'll just have to get up early to get it all done. Then she adds"And if you can't get up by yourself, I'll wake you up." *evil smile* WHAT?! AM I A TEENAGER OR SOMETHING?! SINCE WHEN DID I BECOME HER INDENTURED SERVANT?! Seriously though! Would it kill her to have one of my cousins come do it? I'm freaking exhausted from driving so much and not sleeping well since i wasn't in my own bed. I need to catch up on my sleep! I'm human and sometimes i get a little worn down. GIVE ME A FREAKING BREAK! SHEESH!

Sorry, I really needed to get that off my chest. I called my mom to talk to her about it but she didn't really encourage me at all. She doesn't understand that I'm getting so tired of being ordered to do things. Would it kill my grandmother to actually ask, not just expect, me to do something for her? I hat being treated like an adult when it's convenient for her. I don't get people sometimes.

Luckily for me, my sister is going to have a baby soon and wants me to come move in with her asap. They are even getting a room ready for me and everything. It will be nice to be somewhere i can be appreciated.
