choose a dyeing technique.

around 730 last night i got a call from hyrum. he was bored, which was okay, because so were we. he was wanting to tie dye some shoes/slippers he had and wondered if we would like to join him on this adventure. of course we were happy to help. lauren had some laundry going so about an hour later we went and picked hyrum up and went to the store. we got some Rit dye

(we got red yellow and blue), and hyrum got himself some miracle whip. we also ran into an old fhe brother, dallon,

and got to talk to him for a minute which was fun. then we came back to our apt and started the process, kind of, we were confused, i cannot recall ever tie dyeing before, and hyrum didn't really know what to do, so it took us a good 45 minutes before we actually started. while reading the instructions on the box step 4 said "choose a dyeing technique" and for some reason in my mind i imagined a room full of people sitting at desks checking off on a piece of paper which "dyeing technique" they would prefer, things like ... jumping off a bridge, falling into a well, food poisoning. it made me laugh, and then i had to tell lauren and hyrum and they too found it funny. then we got everything set and rolled up our shirts and prepared the dye. hyrum ended up dying two shirts and his slippers, i dyed one shirt, and lauren tried dyeing some socks. we realized, too late, that we were supposed to have some sort of squirter to put the dye in to squirt on the items, so we had to improvise and use a cup with a built in straw.

it was super fun and i'm pretty sure we just laughed the entire time. needless to say it was a fun night and i am grateful for old and new friends who think i'm funny and laugh at my weird thoughts and dumb jokes.

scripture of the day:

Omni 1:26 And now, my beloved brethren, I would that ye should come unto Christ, who is the Holy One of Israel, and partake of his salvation, and the power of his redemption. Yea, come unto him, and offer your whole souls as an offering unto him, and continue in fasting and praying, and endure to the end; and as the Lord liveth ye will be saved.

today i am thankful for:

* being completely moved in to my apartment.

* people who invite you to do fun things with them.

* stephanie got here safe.

* i still have a few days before school starts.

* my car.

* good music that makes your home feel peaceful.

* life.
