03/04/09 This was our last night hanging out before Lindsey and Jeff moved. "We met up with the Erkelens, Jensens, and Madduxs to eat at Wingers. We ate a lot of yummy food and took some pictures. I'm going to miss the Erkelens. = ( The girls went back to the Erkelen's and had craft time. I helped Wendy with a scrapbook page. We mostly just talked for hours. Heather gave Lindsey the book she put together of the pictures and letters we gave her. Lindsey gave us some cookies and cds she made us. = ) I really like Lindsey. I really will miss her. We talked until pretty late, it was a fun night."
03/07/09 "I drive to Mi Ranchito in American Fork and met up with Allison, Christine, and VeNicia for a girl's night! We ate really yummy food and just chatted and got caught up. It was a lot of fun. We talked about going to Melissa's Wedding. We got our movie tickets and chilled at Target while we waited for it to start. We all tried on the same ugly dresses and took a picture (see below), planning on sending it to Melissa with a note that said 'We found our bridesmaids dresses!!'...we're not even bridesmaids! = ) (We had a long laugh about that.) We went back to the theatre and watched Twilight! It was my second time. There's some cheesy parts, but I still like it. We all chatted in the car a bit before we went our separate ways. It was a lot of fun! We need to do it more often."
03/14/09 Thanks to the Jensens we had passes to go back to Soldier's Hollow again! I love that place! "We got our passes and headed up to the slopes. Jared and I sledded down a few times before Nicia and Steve Guinn (visiting from our hometown) met up with us. It was so much fun. We raced and went down together. We had some yummy hot chocolate. I like spending time doing fun things with Jared. He's so cute!"
03/15/09 We went to a combined birthday party for our friend Mike and his son Gavin. It was fun. We had yummy fajitas and a really good chocolate mousse and brownie layered dessert. (Which I need to get the recipe for!) I loved the cake Allie made for Gavin! It's a little dump truck. Isn't it cute?
03/25/09 Story time! "Then Lindz called me. We talked on my way back to my car after I turned in my Anthropology paper. I'd left my keys in the car so I called Jared to come unlock it for me & called Lindz back while I waited for him. While I was waiting I put my heavy backpack on the trunk or the roof or something. Jared unlocked it for me (My hero! = ) I got a little ways up the street (I was talkin to Lindz this whole time about her trip to Moab and work etc) When a lady pulled up next to me honking. I rolled down my window down and she yelled "backpack!" I shut my phone (hanging up on Lindz) and tossed it aside, and pulled a "U"y. After driving back several blocks I saw my backpack in the middle of the road! Ahh!! It looked fine, but I didn't want to just stop in the middle of 900 E. So I pulled into the ROTC lot, but by the time I got out of my car I hear "crunch, crunch". = ( It had been hit 2 or 3 times! I was like "Nooooo!!" (Actually I said a different word, but we'll keep this family friendly.) So I'm jumping in and out of the road trying to gather my stuff that's being scattered and blown all down the street, dodging cars, trying to divert traffic! It was crazy!! I was surprised to find my Palm, Mp3 player, and iClicker all in working condition, when my powder compact was shattered into little pieces. When I inspected the contents that didn't spill out of my pack later I found my binder and Phy-Sci book were pretty thrashed. Lucky! Crazy! Anywho. I was a little shaky from running head on into traffic, but I'm so glad it didn't cause an accident or anything! I went home. I ate lunch." And I'll spare you the rest of the mundane stuff that also makes it into my journal. You'd think it'd just be a gimme that I get up and eat and get ready for the day EVERY day and I wouldn't have to include it in there day after day after day.
03/28/09 Jared's brother Jason got married up in Logan! His wife's name is Sarah. She's a lot of fun. They sure seem to like each other! We had a lot Jared's family at our house before and after the wedding. During the wedding activities we all stayed at a house that Jared's parents rented up in Logan. It turned out being way cheaper than getting hotels for all those people. I think the website they found it through was homeawayfromhome or something like that. You can rent places all over the world! Anywho, it was so nice to see his family. We don't get to as often as we'd like because so many of them are so far away! But we had a lot of fun with them. We played a lot of games, went to a park, ate a Tuccanos! and just got caught up.
And that's March. Stay turned for another exciting episode of "a month in a nutshell - from a while ago - by VoNique"

Haha, OH the backpack story. I love it! You forgot to mention how you called me back. Just so everyone knows, Vo loves me enough to call me back. :) And then I made her get off the phone so she could drive in peace and get her blood pressure back down. Glad you're safe, Vo!
I am impressed that you write in your journal. Looks like a really fun March! March usually isn't a very fun month.
You are SO cute. I am honored that I made your blog :) Really, I am lucky to have you as a friend. We think you guys are so cool. Wish we still lived by you!!
