1. My roommate Jenny has been here the last few days. I absolutely LOVED having her here! She drove here from Provo with three of the girls that were in the Nauvoo Brass Band with her last summer. We had a great time doing stuff together! I got to do some of the touristy things with them that I wouldn't have really had time for. It was way too much fun sometimes-like when we stayed up til 2:00 every night talking and giggling.
2. My primary boys are really sad about me leaving in a few weeks. They've been asking for a long time when I was leaving, so I made a paper chain to take to church each week. Sundays are yellow and have the date written on them. The day I am leaving is pink and the rest of the days are teal. At the end of class we rip of the Sunday link and count how many days until I leave and also how many "church days" we have left together. The first week I brought it to class Seth cried. I shouldn't say this on my blog, but he's my favorite kid in the class; the one I've bonded with the most. It will be so hard to say goodbye to him. This week I let him help me and after he counted the days he ran over and gave me a big hug and whispered in my ear "I don't want you to leave". I almost cried. I now know how Kourtney felt about leaving her primary class at the end of last summer. I LOVE my class so much. In case you were wondering, I have either 17 or 18 days left (I don't remember).

Why I am Employee of the Week and Thoughts About Airplanes and stuff
Yesterday at work this boy threw up. It was gross. I cleaned it up. And that is why I am Employee of the Week. Too bad we don't really have an Employee of the Week, but Julie (general manager) said if we had one, I would be it this week. It was gross. I don't think he told his grandma or his brother or his cousins that he had thrown up. I watched him go into the playland a while after he threw up. I got angry. I didn't want him barfing up there too. Then he was smart, came down from the playland, and layed down across a few chairs. Ross and Shannon couldn't look at it, otherwise Shannon would've passed out and Ross would've barfed. I'm glad they didn't look at it, I don't think I could've cleaned up two peoples puke in one day, and I don't know what I would've done with Shannon if she had passed out. I'm also proud of myself for not puking when I saw his puke.
In a week Jenny (from freshman apartment) is coming to visit. I'm really, really, really excited. I'm not going to work at the Condos while she is here. And I'm going to get us sweet seats to Pageant. And I get to see Jenny. And her face.
In 26 days I will be on an airplane headed to Utah. Holy cow, I can't believe I've been here for 2 1/2 months. It doesn't seem like it's been that long. But I guess time flies when you do nothing but work, and have a family reunion. My Facebook status is about going back to Utah. Within minutes, Christie, Allison, Jenny and Kelli (all of whom were my roommates in 215) had all "liked" my status. I felt special, but wondered why Sarah (the last roommate from 215) hadn't liked it yet. Then I remembered that unlike anybody else, she had a boyfriend. So she doesn't live on Facebook talking to us all. Paul also liked my status, but he was not my roommate in 215. I like being on airplanes. I listen to my iPod. When my iPod dies (it is old and doesn't last long anymore) I pull out my laptop and listen to music from there. I read books. I color in a coloring book (which reminds me that I need to go buy one and a small box of crayons soon). Lately (meaning since I left for college) I have also used airplanes as a chance to write in my journal. Only most of the time my journal is in my checked bags not my carryon, so I type my journal entry on my computer and then print it when I have my printer again. I also like eating the little cookies/crackers/pretzels that flight attendants hand out, and I drink juice. It is fabulous. I like sitting in the aisle. I hate climbing over people when I go to a seat. I also don't like people climbing over me, so I like to find a seat where the window seat is already taken, and normally I pick one with a business-looking-man who minds his own business. I'm not really a fan of talking to people around me on planes, unless I'm traveling with a friend/family member. Or that one flight when I found my Mia Maid advisor at the airport and we sat together. Or if there is a cute kid sitting in front of me, then I'll talk to the kid (and sometimes their parents), but that is different too. Oh, and at Thanksgiving last year I also talked to the kid on my flight that was a freshman, that lived in Issaquah, who had had one of his legs amputated. He was cool.
In 70 some odd days I'll be in Redmond again! Is it odd that I'm counting down the days until I get to Utah and also the next time I'll be leaving Utah? Probably, but that's how I roll.
I don't know I've written so much, this post was supposed to be about me cleaning up puke. Turns out I wrote more about why I like airplanes, what I do on airplanes, and who I talk to on airplanes.

October!
In October I am headed up to Seattle to spend some time with Steph before she goes on her mission to Dallas. I'm so freaking excited! While I'm up there I get to:
-see Paul and his family
-reexperience General Conference Springgay style. Can I just say I am so excited about that?
-be introduced to Nelson's Bakery and their famous "potato". apparently it is a sin that I lived so close for so long and have never been there?
-see WICKED!
This last thing I get to do makes me so happy! Back in the day (not too long ago, but my senior year of high school) we played a medley of songs from Wicked in band. It was probably my favorite song that we ever played in my whole 8 years of band. Whenever we rehearsed Wicked it was a good day in band. Because I liked it, it was the one song I would practice for fun. I had a sweet oboe solo that I loved, and there were some other way "rememberable" solos too. Tyler bought the Wicked soundtrack and we listened to it every time we were together driving somewhere. That included Prom. As our group drove home from the dance we listened to Wicked. Basically, I LOVE the music so much. And now I get to go see Wicked! I'm just a little bit excited about this.
Umm, that's about it. YAY!

Happy 4th!
Today is the 4th of July. It started like every 4th of July I can remember: raining. I worked for nine hours, and now I am watching some fireworks that are live in New York. Next I'm going to watch some fireworks in Boston because Neil Diamond is performing, and I like him.
Since I last blogged we had our family reunion which was excellent. I have now recovered from the lack of sleep that comes with having 6 little girls in your room and a room full of boys on the other side of the wall. I loved having the Aunt Marci Sleepover, but it feels nice to not get kicked or hit while I sleep. Teagan is like my new best friend, and I can't wait til he comes to BYU in about a year. I'm sure everybody else thought we were total dorks, especially as we hugged eachother goodbye (hopefully I'll have a picture of this in a few weeks once Traci gets back to the island).
Every summer since college started I have had a theme song. I think that during the reunion I found my theme song for this summer. Take A Chance On Me by Abba. I don't really want to explain it here, but it's great.
I'm down to a month and a week until I go back to Utah, which is crazy! I'm excited about the classes I'm taking in the fall, so I'm ready to go back!
I wish I had more to blog about, but pretty much I just work. Oh, the other day at work some kid pooped in the play land. Totally on purpose. She pulled down her pants, squated and pooped. The mom laughed. Julie cleaned it up. I wasn't there, thank goodness, but now we have a sign next to the register that says "Please have your children use the restroom before playing" That was exciting.
