feeling like a kid again

this last week brig went to alaska with his brothers and dad on a fishing trip. my family was so kind to invite me to stay with them while he was gone. it gets lonely when its just me and maddix! soo. allies' friends were gone the whole week so she hung out with her big sis :) {AND mel was here for a day too!} we had fun. we shopped, ate filibertos 2 times, went to dq to get blizzards, realized how expensive they are and how much money we dont have, then told the lady “never mind, we dont want anything”, went to walmart got ice cream & candy bars, came home only to find that mom bought like 10 packs of candy bars as well like 5 minutes before us, ate about 7 bowls of ice cream in 4 days, embarrassed nate at nielson’s, dressed up as a teddy bear, played guitar, went to the temple, walked in the rain with a giant umbrella, did pilates, watched penelope, etc. i felt like a kid again!
   



story time.

so last night brig came up with this brilliant idea to tickle torture me. me: “STOP! why are you tickling me so much??” him: “you said you love to laugh & tickling makes you laugh!” me{trying to speak while being tickle tortured}: “then just tell me jokes or something!” him: “this is better!” me:” STOP!” him: “say UNCLE then i’ll stop” me: “why??” him: “just do it!” so it ends up that i seriously could not get that word out of my mouth to save my life. for real. it took me awhile! its soo hard to say when being tickled! try it i dare you.
so then i was in our bathroom getting ready for bed & some more tickle torturing came on & what do you know. im trying to back away and i run into a small drawer that was sticking out and it completely comes out and falls right on my foot. that hurt. sooo bad. brig apologized & felt bad {that was my whole goal} ;). jk. but really. we were laughing about it afterwards. no worries we still love each other :)
AND now i cant walk. well ok i can. but i almost couldn’t.
moral of the story is…
i love having fun & feeling like a kid again :) even if i do get hurt at the end of it.
