Food, Sports, and Love

When you ask someone what their favorite food is, what is the typical response? 

- chinese

- pizza

- mac and cheese

well, I was to be asked at this very moment my favorite food, it would have the be the sweet potato fries and fry sauce at Gurus. 

it's like eating strips of glorious happiness dipped in the heavenly balm of awesomeness.

that made no sense, but just trust me, I LOVE THEM SO MUCH!

On Friday, I took my sister to lunch and we went to Gurus. She had talked about how her and Sean love their sweet potato fries more than anything else. So what do I order? Sweet Potato Fries. plus our meals, but mostly I was there for the fries. 

conclusion: Best 2.99 I have ever spent.

But this whole week hasn't been the best eating wise. I bought a box of easy mac packets and have been eating those all week. Then Gurus, then I had some banana bread that my friend made.... like a lot of it. And then IHOP at 12am..... super healthy. no regrets.

My friends who made me banana bread invited me to go to the homecoming football game with them tonight and I wanted to, but I didn't have a pass. But my friend who went with me to IHOP at 12 am gave me hers and so I went and it was some of the most fun that I have had in a long time. I LOVE FOOTBALL! And BYU. :) 

I was raised by my dad, who loves sports to an extent that I don't think I will ever fully comprehend. He knows so much and has this intuition about certain players and techniques. I watched sports with him and I struggled to understand football at first. Basketball was my first love, then Baseball, and now Football. I remember texting my dad about the LA Dodgers and talking about real sports stuff. It helped me really connect with my dad and that is something that I will ALWAYS love about our relationship. 

The game was really good tonight. Taysom Hill didn't do too bad and our defense was working super hard.  There were some crazy good plays and then some stupid calls, but I loved being there, shouting for my cougs and most of all, being there with a really good friend.

Our friendship has blossomed so much and I love Allie a lot. She is so down to Earth and I feel like I can truly relate to her on so many levels. I appreciate her and all she is.

Some of my other relationships have not been going so hot though.....

Boys. 

they should have their own universe and communicate in their own language. 

seriously.

I just don't get it. 

I took this boy to General Conference and I was interested to an extent, but I didn't know him all that well. So I asked him to come so I could get to know him better. To my dismay, the conversation was not there between us and he seemed to not even be interested in talking to me at all. 

I was really frustrated because he was very enthusiastic to talk to my friend's brother who I invited to come too. I felt like I wasn't even there to him. 

I felt really sad and mad that it didn't turn out the way I wanted it to, but that is my fault. 

He wasn't the nice guy to me that I thought he was or that he would be.

But here's the hardest part of all. 

My friend Allie and her roommate Peri are my best buds here in the ward. They are my go to girls and I like 'em, a lot.  Well, one day we were planning a hangout session at Dairy Queen and I go to my apt to get my shoes. While I am gone, this guy comes to their apt to ask Peri out. 

For some odd reason, it bugged me a lot. And then he invited her to go to the Football game with him. I felt bad because I wanted to hang out with Peri, but I couldn't bring myself to be around this guy. 

It isn't that big of a deal, but for some reason it is really getting to me and I don't like it. 

This quote given by Thomas S. Monson during the Relief Society session has really lifted my spirits about this sort of thing.

this has really comforted me because whenever I think about this guy and how bad I felt when being around him, I remember that there was someone with me that was still loving me and supporting me.  He will be forever and that it really nice to think about.
