One of the greatest feelings ever is when I'm driving around in circles and I look up in my rearview mirror to see every single one of my guests with a giant grin on their faces. Because I'm their driver! I feel like I've created a Disney-worthy ride experience that people actually like! (even though I totally didn't create this ride... someone else did and they told me what to say and how to drive... but still! I can pull it off!)
I love it during poachers scene, when I'm speeding around turns. That's the main spot where everyone is smiling. I normally need to keep my eyes on the road at that point a little more than usual, but I love glancing up in the mirror... especially when there's an elderly couple in the front seat or a family I wouldn't normally think would know what's going on. And they're just grinning away or laughing. The elderly couple is fully aware that I'm being silly, asking where the heck I am... sometimes a little kid will answer. I'll say, "Watch out for those geysers! Aww, man! Where are we?" and a little kids voice will come out from the back, "I know where we are! We're in Disney!" or my favorite is when they say, "Oh! We're in Africa!" But you don't have to know what's going on to enjoy my ride. It's just fun. I love Disney!
The funny thing is, though... I was driving around some friends the other day and they were sitting in the back seat. I kept wanting to tilt down my rearview mirror so I could see the people sitting in my back seat. I didn't care about those cars behind me, I just wanted to see my "guests" and make sure they were seated and having fun!
I think that'll take me a bit to get over.

Baxter
Dent in front.
Scrape and mini-dent in back.
Otherwise... he's soooo beautiful!
And yes, I have an appointment to get the license plates on since I had to buy a holder for the front of the car. They said they'd install both at the same time next Tuesday! We had to wait because it's such a rare part they had to order it.

There Are No Words...
This weekend was just.. well... I don't think there's any one word to describe it.
Exhausting: I woke up at 4am to catch the 5am shuttle to Provo on Saturday morning. I didn't get to sleep that night either until after midnight and then it was Daylight Savings on top of that.
Exciting: I bought a car. I bought a car. I bought my first car. I BOUGHT A STINKIN' CAR! Well... the parents helped out... mostly. Okay entirely... for now. But still. I bought a car!
Expensive: Cars are expensive. So are trips to Provo. So are towing companies.
Stressful: Said car got towed within ten hours of me owning it. Not even kidding. Tacked on an extra $200 to the cost. Go figure.
Religious: Since it was stake conference, I went to Heather's stake Saturday night... the speaker went 30 minutes over. 30 MINUTES! Not cool. Not cool at all. Especially since I was starving because I forgot to eat on this day and I had woken up at 4am. And then woke up this morning for church as well.
Depressing: I have some friends in Hawaii. None were really affected past a few having to evacuate "just in case." But it kills my heart to see the Youtube videos of Japan. Heather and I watched them for a while. They're super interesting, but sad.
Delicious: Heather is an awesome cook. We made pancakes the first morning I got there and she even adds almond flavoring like my dad. We also made basil-pesto chicken in the oven, spaghetti, and delicious homemade french fries from this super good recipe she had. Well done, Heather. You'll make a great mom someday!
Hilarious: I should probably wait to tell this story until my parents are ready to hear it. But, suffice it to say it involved a policeman, and something I definitely did NOT do wrong. And no, I didn't get in trouble. I was proven innocent at the scene. Let your imagination go wild!
Spontaneous: I was originally not planning on getting back here until tomorrow. I even had my Chem homework done really early so I could give it to my friend for him to turn in for me tomorrow. But, after certain events today, we decided it was best for me to come home now. Good thing, too, because I had totally forgotten that I also have a Chem quiz in class tomorrow that I can't really afford to get a zero on!
Reminiscent: I miss Florida. A lot. A whole stinking lot.
Pictures soon.
