Just a story...

Today I went to a chorus concert at my old high school.  I had been told the date once or twice, but I totally forgot about it until my younger sister told me at 7:45PM that my teacher, Mr. Wagner, said I was going to be in big trouble if he didn't see me at the concert tonight that starts at 7:30.  Madeline then proceeded to make me drive her home so all in all... I was half an hour late.

What I saw of the concert was great, but I mainly loved getting to see everyone again.  I forgot how much I missed my high school friends.  I don't miss them enough to ever go back to high school, but it was great to hug and talk to everyone.

After catching up with the high school friends I went and talked to the Wagner's.  They teased me for forever about being late.  They always liked how easy I was to tease and Mrs. Wagner always used this characteristic of mine to her advantage.  She then proceeded to remind me that I had other reminders about the concert over the past week, including a reminder from herself, so I shouldn't have been late.  This is the conversation that proceeded.

"I do remember reminding you last week about this concert so your sister wasn't your only reminder."
"I know Mrs. Wagner, but I just got a job this week so I've had a lot on my mind and I totally spaced."
"Oh, where did you find a job?"
"Ok... don't judge me."
"Where?"
"..........Victoria's Secret."

The Wagner's then proceeded to laugh really hard.  Mr. Wagner started crying he was laughing so hard and Mrs. Wagner said that was the hardest she's seen him laugh in a long time.  I was laughing too.  It really is pretty funny that of all places I'm working at Victoria's Secret.  The Wagner's said they really never imagined me at that store and I displayed what I was wearing at the time (sweat pants and a t-shirt) and said, "Believe me... I never saw myself there either."

It was nice to laugh as hard as we did.  I love laughing.  I guess everyone does, but I REALLY love laughing.  It lifts away all worries and just makes you feel so great inside.  I especially love laughing with other people.  My favorite part of college was laughing with my roommates in the dorm.  I miss college...

Anyway, the real point of this post is actually to talk about a friend that I saw at the concert.  He doesn't go to Township, but he's in my ward and he went to the concert to see the girl that he's going to prom with.  Now this is a guy who I NEVER expected to see at a chorus concert.  That would be social suicide for him.  But he was there.  I called my mom to tell her about it and she said, "Love does that.  Just wait... one day you will have someone who is so in love with you that he'll do just about anything to make you happy."

I doubt I will find this "Mr. Right" anytime soon, but the thought sure does give me a lot to look forward to.  Maybe I already know him, but I'm secretly hoping that he's in London waiting to meet me when I study abroad.  Men with accents are sexier anyways.

  1. Oh this made me so happy.

    1. I'm glad that I'm not the only one who goes back to my high school to see stuff.
    2. I LOVE that you work at Victoria's Secret now. So hilarious. And I can totally seeing you saying "don't judge me" to preface it.
    3. When you said "I was laughing too" I really could see you laughing. It reminded me of all of those times when I'd mutter something under my breath in 101 and you'd hear me and laugh.
    4. I'm jealous to death that you're going to London.
    5. I miss you a whole lot.
