end of trip post

I go back to Houston tomorrow! I am sad to leave California but kind of excited to go dance again in Houston. Either that or I am just plain excited to dance again. I went to a West Coast/other types of dance place last night. I saw some people that I knew before and it was nice to catch up. My friend Danish was nice enough to introduce me to practically everyone and tell them to dance with me. Because of this, I danced most of the time, making for a very fun experience.

Let me back up. Friday the BYU singers came to town and we spent the day hosting them at a beach house, then going to their workshop, then their dinner, then their concert. The concert was very good. I especially liked the songs about the panther, and a cow. It was so funny that I almost DIED laughing. But not to worry, I didn't die.

Saturday I went rollerblading again, then I went to BJ's with Grandma and my aunt and my two sisters. Then Grandma took us shopping, and we got some cute stuff. Sarah got shoes for prom...exciting!!! When I went to prom it was lame, but then I went to "lindy prom" in Sandy Eggo, and that was much more fun. Saturday night Malena and I went to get pedicures, then to dinner at Natures Grill, then we saw Iron Man, which was rather enjoyable.

Sunday I went to church and it was fast Sunday, so people got up to bear their testimonies. In order to stay focused I made a "Testimony Meeting Top 10" list. I was going to post my list but I couldn't find it. Blast. Some were kind of funny too, such as "I know laser eye surgery is awesome."

Monday I went for a 11 mile bike ride with my mom to the beach. Then I went rollerblading with Bria. THEN, I went with Bria's family to a Sushi place for Bria's birthday. I must say this was my first sushi experience. Being strict vegetarian, I got vegetable rolls, which were quite good. I also had some scrumptious miso soup, and seaweed salad--certainly a new experience. And we are back to the beginning of the post where I went dancing.

So there we have it. I am loaded up with fresh mandarin oranges and avocados from Grandma's backyard, ready to head back to the big state of Texas where people call me "honey," and tell me to "have a bless'd day."
