Monday was great because we got to know a few of our neighbors! We hung out with a couple in the fourplex we live in and played games while a couple of the other people that live dropped by as well. It was so nice to really get to know the people that surround us. Hopefully we'll do more stuff with them in the future :)
Tuesday was my 21st birthday!! We planned to do a party later in the week but my actual birthday was very fun :) Adam got me a super fun game called Forbidden Island! It is a cooperative game (meaning that its all of the players working together to beat the game rather than each other) which I love because I don't like when games get too competitive. He also got me Tangled!! :)
So anyways, he made me a yummy breakfast in the morning too! The rest of the day I just worked a lot which turned out to be great! I work as a secretary in the Office of Digital Humanities at BYU. When I came in on Tuesday, everyone in the office knew it was my birthday which I think was due to my great boss, Bonnie :) I also had to file something in our conference room when Mel and the student computer support reps that he's in charge of were about to start their weekly meeting. haha they promptly sang me happy birthday and gave me snickerdoodle the size of my hand! Imagine 6-7 college age IT guys singing happy birthday haha it was great :) Later, Adam and I went to Red Robin for dinner to claim my free burger which of course was delicious :) Then Adam made cupcakes and Kayla and Steven came over to play my new game :) It was a very good day!
Wednesday marked one year from the time that Adam proposed :) In honor of that, we sort of recreated what we did that night. We went to the park that we fed the ducks at and where he hid the ring (and couldn't find the ring for the longest time haha). It was after dark when we went the first time so it was great going in the daylight because that park is BEAUTIFUL!! We fed the ducks which was fun because of how excited they got and they crowded around us. There was a bunch of different colored ones too :)
We walked around looking at all the benches we sat at (referring to Adam not finding the ring for a while). Someone was having a picnic at the one where he actually proposed at but it was still fun :) Then we went to Farr's for frozen yogurt which is always yummy :)
Thursday, I went to my orientation for the volunteer work I have to do at the Utah State Hospital for my Abnormal Psychology class. I am going to be working in the children's unit which I think will be very rewarding. I got to meet some of the kids even and they were so happy to see us volunteers. I think I will learn a lot from this.
Then there was Friday :D we had a birthday mocktail party for me (50s style)! We got a bunch of stuff for fake cocktails and everyone dressed up. My friend Kayla did my hair as well :) We listened to big band music, had cocktail snacks and lots of virgin drinks! It was great being with those people some I hadn't seen in a while like Carissa and KJ :) Also Adam made me a homemade chocolate cake (all by himself I might add)!! Here's some pictures from the party :)
Then on Saturday, we worked at the temple as we always do :) It was my first time working now that I'm not in training anymore!! I felt very legit :) It is such a glorious blessing we have to be able to work in the temple while we are in Provo. What a great way to spend our Saturday afternoons :) then that evening we went over to our friends' Andre and Michelle to watch the BYU vs. U of U game which was of course very exciting :)
All around a very busy but amazing week :D
Love,
Ashley
