Ring, Ring: This is the jail calling...

Ok, so quite possibly the greatest thing happened to me last night. So after totally dominating in Operation (Writer's Cramp nothin') and then doing some donuts (and potentially jacking up my power steering), I crawled into my bed and started to fall asleep to the Gladiator Soundtrack while playing Klondike on my iPod. It was almost 2am, when I started to hear The Office theme song, (which also happens to be my ringtone). So I answered my phone, and I get this recording that says, "This is a pre-paid phone call from the Utah County jail from (then the recording stopped while a girl said her name:) "Amber." My mind started to race. What Ambers do I know? Who would be in jail? The only one that I could think of was Amber Gregersen. Then I started to think, "Why would she be in jail? And why would she be calling ME?" I figured maybe she got in some kind of an accident or something, and she figured I was the most nocturnal person she knew, so naturally I would still be awake. But then I thought she was supposed to be in Paris or something.

So, I accepted the call, and started to talk to the girl on the other line. So here is the gist of our conversation:
Me: "hello?"
Amber: "hello?"
"is this Amber?"
"yes, who is this?"
"this is Drew. are you looking for me or someone else?"
"is my mom there?"
"what is your mom's name?"
"Julie."
"I don't know a Julie. What number were you trying to call?"
"801-427-9536"
"This is 801-427-9535"
"OH MY GOSH. I AM SO SORRY"
"Don't worry about it. Hopefully you can get ahold of her and get everything worked out."
"I'm so sorry."
"It's all right. Good luck with everything."

It was quite possibly one of the coolest things ever. I just busted up laughing. It was freaking awesome, and I couldn't hold it in. If it weren't for my curfew, someone else might have shared in the awesomeness of it...

Life As We Know It...

Has changed. It's great. It hasn't been at all what I expected, but hey that's life, right? I'm glad school is almost out. School=lame. But it's all good, this semester has been worth it.

Ok. I just remembered this awesome gem that my sister Amelia showed me like a year ago. So money. I don't really have a Sexy 'Stache, so I just see this and dream...




Haha. Awesome. But anyway, on a different note. 15 years ago today was actually the day that I was baptized. Kinda crazy. I actually remember quite a bit about that day. I remember there were a couple of other kids getting baptized that same day (I remember at least 3 of them. Haha) I don't remember a whole lot about what happened that day, but I do remember the way I felt. I remember just being completely happy and excited. I didn't fully understand what it meant at the time (sometimes I feel like I still don't), but I have definitely come to understand and appreciate it much more over the last 15 years. If I could find some pictures from my baptism, I would put them up, but this baptism was definitely one of the most meaningful to me. His name is Bernie, and this was probably one of the most amazing experiences I have ever had in my life. Maybe I'll blog about it someday.
