saturday's market, cousins, and more nuptials

This morning I went to Portland's Saturday Market and it completed me. My favorite stand was the Spoonman. I bought fork/spoon earrings and a fork ring. I loff them. 

Additionally, I got to see my cousin Treva, her husband Chad and their kids Anna and Tate! That also completed me. Especially when they told me that if I decide I want to move to Portland I am welcome to live in their soon-to-be-refinished basement while I figure things out. Very very tempting. Also they have chickens so that they can have their own free-range eggs. What? I love Portland. Also my cousins.

I took the MAX to the airport (also I love public transportation—which, by the way, I had the epiphany that airplanes are public transportation! So... all those people who think they're better than everyone else and say that they could never use public transportation most likely definitely have. So take that!) so that I could get back to Utah in time for my friend Brock's wedding reception in American Fork. Yes, the entire world is getting married. And, you guessed it, Brock and Kate are another meant-to-be couple. She is a photography major, Brock is a fabulous photographer. Kate lived in Spain for 3 years and speaks Spanish fluently, I met Brock on our study abroad to Spain and he was the fastest Spanish language learner of us all. And, most importantly, they love each other. And I love them. And hopefully they love me enough to wear the Cassi shirts that I made them...

Today I skipped all my classes. Probably not the best move since I'll be missing these same classes on Friday for my roommate Kirsten's wedding. Oh well. There was something about today that just called for non-conformity. It was beautiful outside and I just couldn't stand sitting in the basement of the JFSB for four hours missing it all. Granted, I spent a good portion of the day indoors anyway finally putting my spring clothes into the closet and drawers and out of the boxes that have been cluttering up my floor for the past couple weeks, but still. My room has windows. I also mailed my mother her (late) Mothers' Day gift, made my wedding gift for Brock and Kate (Cassi shirts. What? They asked for them!), and went to our ward FHE at the park... not exactly sticking it to the man, but it was fun. I met some nice new people in the ward. Maybe we will be friends for the next 2 months. Maybe longer. Who knows?

Tonight I will be going to see the Star Trek movie with Louis and Sydney. Louis was supposed to be in Chile on an internship but he missed his flight today. Ba haha. Poor kid. But I'm glad because it means we get to hang out a little more before he's gone forever. Also I will get to see Sydney who I have not seen since she moved out. And I miss her. Like the sun misses the flower.
