Bigger or Better

I have done tons that I haven't been able to post. It's hard to stay updated.
Last Friday was the Institute dance!! Oh my, it was a blast!!
I am on the Institute Activities/Dance Committee. We showed up two hours before the dance to set up (open walls, help DJ, get kareoke and game room ready, move chairs and tables) and eat food!! Everyone is so sweet and the guys are amazing!
Before the dance started we played "Get-to-Know-You" games. It was great! It felt like EFY! Literally.
It's so much fun! I met tons of new people! During the dance we all hung out! More and more people would join us. It was great.
As a committee member we have to rotate every 30 minutes to check wristbands and modesty. If their shirt (girls) was too low we would give them a t-shirt they got to wear! Yay for modesty!
Our theme is "Come As You Are" So they come as they are and if they are not modest we get to help them become better. Make sense? Good.
At the dance we had about 700 BYU students show up. WHAT?!??! BYU comes to OUR dances? Apparently, Orem Institute of Religion has better dances then BYU. I have no say, cause I've never been but what they told us is what i'll go with. To enter then dance you need a wristband. We give out 2,000 wristbands. (Get them in advance) Only 2,000 are allowed in the dance. Reasons why...
1.) The a.c. wasn't working.
2.) We only have so much room.
3.) In the future students will get wristbands in advance
4.) We have 6,000 students on campus and 7,000 off campus
We do have wristbands at the dance but we run out quickly. Since we love BYU students we do let them in the dance.
This was the first dance and about 1,000-2,000 students couldn't come in the dance because they didn't have wristbands. Believe it or not.
Overall, it was a great turn out! We have these dances every 3-4 weeks.

Sunday was the CES Fireside. Elder Dallin H. Oaks and Sister Oaks spoke. It was great! Sister Oaks cracks me up! Afterwards we had TONS of fun sized chocolates in the back. We all stayed to talk for quite sometime! We get to the car and I have a missed call. Who could it be? Missed call from Tyler Griffin. Yay!! I call him back and we talked for about 45 minutes. It was great to hear from him! How I miss that kid, Even though he is only 20 minutes away. And 10 minutes away from UVU.

FHE Monday! For FHE we played Bigger or Better! We split into teams and the game started. Nick Strong, Michelle Kelly, Me and one other girl (can't remember her name, sorry!) were a team. The first house we went to had a sign by their doorbell that read, "Please ring doorbell. Residents are hard of hearing and baby sleeps through a train wreck" Haha we got a kick out of that. We started out with a tiny used candle and got a really cool rooster thing from Peru? We took the rooster and got a flat soccer ball, we took that to the Cutlers and they gave us a Unicycle!! Wahoo! We took the Unicycle and got a Razer Scooter. Yes! We headed down the hill and took the scooter and traded it for a wood table thing and we took the table to the Kirbys and they gave us an Alligator stuffed animal! Which won us the game (it was between the alligator and a broken lawn mower)! Thank you Kirbys! The Kirbys really didn't want the table so we told their kids to take the table back to the house we got it at and to say "do you have anything bigger or better than this?" the people said "no, but we have this razor scooter you can have." The kids ended up taking the scooter and the table. We headed to the Berrys and they told us to take a carpet that a previous group had. We had a great time! After FHE, we headed to Harts for free drinks!! It was great fun! We came back and the girl put the carpet by Michelles car just like we said to. We found that a bit funny :)

Trafalga Tuesday! I went to the Trafalga in Lehi! It was so much fun. I felt like a kid again! We did Lazer Frenzy!!! Let me tell you what it is. You go into this dark room and there are lazers shining from one side of the room to the other and you have to get from one side to the other, with out touching the lazers. It was a blast!! We won 31 tickets! And got Disappearing Ink!! We did Go Karts and wow either i'm a horrible driver or the go kart had problems :). We also went on a Frog ride. It's like the rocket but 1,000 times smaller. It was still so fun. That is were I felt like a kid again. We signed up for the last Lazer Tag game! We had 14 on our team (3 of them were little cute girls) and 12 were on the other team. The group I was with was so much fun! The team we were playing, not so fun. They had played a previous game (two games in a row). So they knew the best spots. We all had fun! Though we got creamed!!! Oh well :) The point of the game is to just have fun!
As we head to my house we get a text from Jordan Dresen. On how Trafalga went. We get this crazy idea to go visit him. So we drove around for 45 minutes trying to find his house. Haha oh my. I thought my house was impossible to find! Nope, he wins. We finally get to his house and he showed us his BYU homework and blog. And we talked about BYU stuff. We were there for about an hour. It was really fun. Afterwards, I get this crazy idea to get my disappearing ink. So I did. I got Jordan pretty good! He was a bit worried since he was wearing his BYU Riseup shirt (which I really wanted) It didn't really work cause it was Navy Blue. But hey, he was still worried. I told him what it was not long after I squirted it on him. And we all just had fun messing with the ink.
On our way home my friend REALLY had to go Potty. So we pulls over and has me drive the car! Haha oh it was great!
