Yesterday was so much fun. School was okay. It seemed that everyone brought candy to share with the class. After school was the fun part, though. Laura and I went wedding dress shopping with Amanda, Ben's fiancee. We went to Allyses Bridal in University Mall. We found the PERFECT dress! It was amazing! She's going to need some alterations, but not as many as I would and probably will need. We had dinner together, window shopped, and looked at rings. It was very fun. As soon as we got home, Sarah called and we went to Letherby's and got some ice cream. We haven't seen each other for two weeks, so we had a lot to talk about. She didn't know that we had a bird or that Ben was engaged. When we got to our seats, we noticed that our Aunt Kim's father and sister were there too. Ironic. It was really so cool.

It's really late, so this will be short, but another post!!! Everyone will be so proud of me!!!!

I substitute taught today. First grade. Nightmare. There were some really cute kids, yes, but most were totally out of control. I was completely exhausted when I woke up this morning, and now I wish I could pass out for a week. It was fun, but it was also tiring. It rained all day, so no recess, meaning I had to come up with yet another thing to keep them entertained. Not to mention that at the elementary school where I was today, they have short day on Wed. That means that all other days are longer. Those poor kids start at 8:30 and don't get out until 3:30. I probably wouldn't have made it in that school. So glad I went to Grant. Anyway, I'll probably get called again on Wed. Not looking forward to it, buy hey, it's money.

Gilmore Girls was awesome tonight! I love Tues and Wed. Tues: Gilmore Girls, Wed: West Wing. The rest of the days aren't really all that great when it comes to tv, but I prefer a good book anyway.

Lately, I've been really depressed, and I don't know why. There are so many good things happening right now, I should be happy! Ben is engaged, Eric is coming home, school is going good, I have wonderful friends, I'm almost done with my dress, etc. There is something gnawing at me, and I don't know what it is. I wish I knew, though, because I'm not a depressed person. I'm always happy and smiling. I want to be myself again.

I miss Star. She was my Oakcrest counselor. I used to write to her every week. Laura and I were the only ones she invited to her mission farewell. She's married now. I got the invitation to her reception, but I couldn't go because it was about a week and a half after my back surgery. I have no idea where she is, and the only way I can find out is a long shot. I just feel the need to talk to her, and I can't.

Sorry this post is so depressing. When I find out why I'm not myself, I'll let you know.

(2 posts in 1 week?!!! There MUST be something wrong with me! =) )
