Concussions and Good Men

Last night we had a dance. Like a stake dance. like we were 14. YES. IT WAS SUCH A BLAST.

YOU GUYS I LOVE MY ROOMMATES.

i know a lot of people say that. and sometimes i say that just because i'm trying to love them. but these girls. theeese girls. i love them so much. 

Right before school started and we got or room assignments, i didn't know anyone besides stephanie, but i wasn't going to complain because that's annoying. 

Instead i just prayed that wherever i ended up, it would be the right place. the right ward, the right sisters, the right atmosphere.

And the next day i got an email notifying me that my room assignment had been changed. 

and every day i discover a new reason why i was supposed to be in my apartment. in my ward. with my roommates. AND I LOVE IT.

anyway. 

 Partaaayyy

i don't know why our guy friends have a wheelchair in their house, but they do. cool. 

(our friend ran around the building until she found a light switch and turned off the lights. hahaha.)

It was so so so fun.

I love dancing like a complete idiot. 

At one point Stephanie was doing the Worm. and maybe she hit her head right on the stupid floor. 

but we kept dancing. laughed it off. 

then, at 3:30 in the morning she woke up frantic and disoriented and was vomiting and her eyes were saucers and she was all jittery and weird. Turns out that worm gave her a concussion and i went back to sleep but even hearing about it was pretty freaky to be completely honest. 

Sophia stayed up with her since she didn't have morning classes today. 

And at one point i guess things got scary because Sophia called our Friends Trevor and Art, convinced that she needed to be driven to the hospital. Stephanie protested, so Sophia just asked the boys to come over and give her a blessing. they did, and it calmed the situation considerably. 

Right now Stephanie is sleeping in the bed next to me with my frozen peas and carrots bag behind her neck and all our lights are off.

Can i just stand on a rooftop and shout for joy about those dear boys who answered their phone at 4 am and walked to our apartment through the pouring rain to give Stephanie a Blessing?

I love them for that. 

there is something so selfless about giving a Blessing.

Imagine living your life in a way that you are always ready to help someone in need. I can't imagine the responsibility that comes with the Priesthood. i get choked up thinking about how grateful i am for the Good Men in my life who are always ready to be of service.

Thanks, Trevor and Art. 

We sure do love you.
