Orem Trip

This week I was able to make a trip up North (Orem) to spend some time with friends and family. I got to do nails, visit, eat, visit, eat, visit, and eat some more....it was wonderful. I missed my husband while I was up there, but it was worth it just to be able to have some time to visit with the people I miss the most! I didn't take any pictures, and I'm very angry at myself, but oh well. Stay tuned cause there are some awesome stores that came out of this trip.

Tuesday

When I got up there, I did my sister-in-law's nails. It was so fun just to be able to sit and visit and be girly for a couple hours. I'm not sure they turned out all that well, but practice makes perfect...right?! Thanks katie for being a test dummy! :) Then I went and visited with a friend that I hadn't seen in a couple years, and it was SOOOOO good to see her. She has 2 sweet little kids, and they are totally adorable. It had been far too long since we got to visit! I then went to the mall to see Nana!! While there I decided to stop by the Verizon store, just to look at the phones they had, because Richfield doesn't have too many good ones that you don't have to have the data plan for. I was just planning on looking, cause my contract with T-Mobile wasn't up till the 3rd of Feb....but....that didn't turn out the way I planned.

Phone Story







   Victor and I were planning on putting me on his plan with Verizon since my t-mobile coverage down in Richfield was horrible, and we could save lots of money a month by doing a family plan. Victor has the internet on his phone, but I've never had it, and I didn't really want it, cause we're getting the internet at the house, and it didn't make sense for us to be paying for it on both of our phones, and at the house. So I stopped by the Verizon store in the mall, and actually found a phone that I really liked that didn't require the Data plans. The phone was $100.00...so I said NO WAY!!!! But....the girl looked on her computer and said that it was on speciel FAR (Free after rebate)...so that day it was $50.00 + $50.00 Mail in rebate...so FREE! I was getting a little more excited, but I knew that if I was going to call Victor and ask if I could do it, I would need more ammunition to throw at him...so I told her about the $50.00 cancelation fee from t-mobile I would have to pay if I canceled early...and so she said she would call her manager and see if they could do anymore. So she called one, and left him a message...she called another one, and he said to give me $15.00 off the phone...so now we're down to $35.00 for a $100.00 phone....not too shaby....but hold on, cause it gets better. She then said she could by my old phone from me for $10.00 so now we're down to $25.00 for the phone, and then the other manager called back and told her to give me $25.00 off the phone instead of the $15.00 off...so we were down to $15.00 for this phone + I still got the $50.00 Mail In Rebate....I was sold! I called Victor and asked him if I could do it, and told him we were pretty much making 30 some odd dollars if I bought the phone that day...so he told me I could! wooooooo!!!! I was so excited.  So, now I have this awesome phone that I totally love, and I don't have to deal with t-mobile anymore. Granted we still have the pay the stuped cancelation fee...but the rebate card will take care of that! WONDERFUL!!!!!!



Then that night Nana took me out on a date!! It was so nice to be able to sit down with her and just talk. I miss talking to Nana...but it's soo nice to be able to go up and see her when I can. Then I went to the Flash game with Anna, Aaron, and Marci! It was so fun to see them! The game was great the first half...and then it got really bad the second half. The Flash coach got kicked out...so we left with about 2 minutes left so we could beat the traffic, cause  we knew there was no way they would win!

Wednesday



Wednesday I got to sleep in, which was nice since I have major problems falling asleep without Victor next to me...and I was on the couch. I ended up taking half a sleeping pill at like 1:00 so I could fall asleep. Anyways, so I got up, and went and did my running around that I needed to do. I brought up like 25 movies to take into FYE to trade in...and got SCREWED!!! They only took like 12 of them casue the other ones had writting on the covers....so I took the rest of them to Graywhale to see what they could give me for them..and they took them, but we didn't get very much for them. So I went up there with 25 movies and came home with 2...but oh well. We got the ones we wanted so I was happy. That night I went to the Provo Temple for a long overdue session, and it was very interesting. The lady in the witness couple started her period and bled all over her dress, and the chair she was sitting in, so they had to stop the session till the could get the blood cleaned up. The lady didn't come back into the session, but they still put the whole thing in hold for about 30 minutes to get everything cleaned up. I felt so bad for her. How embaressing would that be? Poor lady. After the temple I went to dinner with a friend, and then we went back to her house to just chill and talk! It was so nice to be around friends again. I have a couple friends down here, but they work during the days so its hard to be able to do anything with them.

Thursday

I went out to lunch with another friend, and then drove home. It was soooo good to see Annie, and it was wonderful to be home again. I was so excited to see Victor again. I'm such a wuss when I'm away from him.

Anyways, sorry this is such a long post, but it needed to be said! I hope you had a good week!! :)
