One Week

It's been one week since I've laid eyes or feet on the lush soil of Washington. It doesn't feel like home here in P-town yet but it's getting there. I've enjoyed old favorites (La Caretta, BYU football) and new favorites (The Parlor). A nice surprise was to see that Robbie Hamblin (an old friend) is in my ward, and they just finished reassigning all the big callings, so it looks like I'm destined to be a hymn-book coordinator.
Friday night I got to be a chaperon at a Halloween party for mentally disabled kids in Orem. We played Halloween bingo, Halloween pictionary, and pin the tail on the (Halloween?) donkey, We had fun, and I didn't have to sit at home alone on a Friday like a loser because I don't really know anyone yet.
I live in a 2 story 5 bedroom 2 bathroom duplex. It's fairly spacious, but with 5 guys in there it's kind of cramped. One of my roommates (Sean) just bought an old fridge so now we have 2 and that will help a lot. Our duplex is on the corner of canyon rd and 2680 N (222 E 2680 N), it's less than a mile from the stadium so I can walk down to football games. It's a pretty good location altogether, close to the dollar theater and Buy Low Market area, not far from University Mall in Orem, and right off of University Ave and Canyon rd so everything's pretty accessible.
If you come to town make sure you give me a shout-out.

Being able to walk to the stadium is pretty important. Now if you can work on our defense...

Chad with the zinger!!! Seriously though, it is always weird to go back to a place you spent a lot of time in and it just does not have the same feeling it used to. At least when I go back it will feel a little more normal since you are back there now. Plan on me visiting before Christmas. Let me know what your plans are so we for sure get to hang out. I think BYU is on the verge of a turn-around by the way. Turns out that S.D. state win was better than we thought, they actually have a football team now. Who knew? This is turning into its own separate blog post so peace, buddy.
