So when I first moved to Fresno my BF from Utah would call and talk about the rain. He knew how much I loved it and I would always respond annoyed "the sun is always shining in Fresno"... This weekend of all times I actually had a hike to Yosemite planned on Sat but it has been pouring buckets and we had to cancel! Aside from canceled plans I am LOVING this!
L came to visit and we had a sleepover and dinner on thurs. I love when she comes...I feel like I have known her so much longer than only six months. On Friday I had my six hr class...yes one class that is six hrs long... I am like a three yr old in that sitting for that long is H-E- double hockey sticks! Luckily after class at 8:30 my friend M came to pick me up. I asked him out on Monday although he claims credit since he volunteered to plan our date.... He told me it was a surprise and our first stop of the evening was the grocery store to pick up gluten-free hotdogs. Next we began the 2 hr drive to one of my favorite places here...The Lake. We got out in the pouring rain and hiked a very short distance to the top of a hill. There we assembled our home-made tent with a tarp and rope he had brought along. We sat under it and proceeded to light a fire with old real estate brochures and a lighter...with the rain we failed miserably but M being the brilliant man that he is suggested we roast our hotdogs on the top of his camping lantern. It was great to be outside and I thought it was really great of him to put so much thought and effort into this date. I got to know a lot about him and the best part would have to be the commute time in the car where we karaoke'd to Aerosmith and ACDC .(well lets be honest the ACDC was more for him ;) )
This morning (which on a saturday is when I wake up so it's actually more like afternoon) Ten of us went to a local park to play mud rugby. Rugby is a tradition that was started by a friend in my ward who lived in Australia. He taught us and prior to the Christmas break getting together to play was a weekly thing. Today we played tackle and L (who is literally half my size came out of nowhere and tackled me to the ground. Needless to say we were pretty muddy by the end of it.
I am so glad that once in a while God allows it to rain in Fresno...I had a blast!
