The WRIGHT Place


On Friday night I spur of the moment decided to drive to Preston, Idaho to visit my grandparents and spend the night with them. I have been feeling guilty lately that it's been so long since I have seen them. I called them before hand to make sure that it was OK, and they just laughed at me for even asking. I love grandparents. I think they are the only people on the Earth that can make you feel THAT welcomed!

When I got there I was instantly bombarded with offers of diet coke, food, and Grandma's home made chocolates. (I said yes to the chocolates!) We then watched the Jazz game together. Watching basketball games with Grandma is always quite an experience! She gets so into it and she starts swearing up a storm! She is hilarious! She also comments on who she thinks is attractive, which players annoy her, and of course gives her own opinions on how the team should be run. It was so much fun!

After the game we sat around and talked for a while and then we were all exhausted so went to bed early. (Early for me. Late for them). When I went downstairs they had plugged in a heater in my room for me, set out a towel and washcloth, and had my favorite blanket ready and waiting. If you have not been pampered by Phil and Bonnie Wright, then you do not know what luxury is! They are so amazing!

That night I slept better than I have in such a long time! It's probably because their house is so clean and smells so good. Not to mention how quiet it is and the clean sheets definitely helped I'm sure! I bet the Wright home is way better than any five star hotel! Even their shower is amazing with its soft water and strong water pressure! I was totally loving my night away!

In the morning I had to work pretty early so I only had time to get ready, pack up, eat breakfast, and go. I wished I could have spent more time with them, but it was really nice to see them and get out of my apartment for a bit.

Well as for the rest of my weekend I just worked a lot. On Saturday night Emily and I went to the basketball game and got pizza which was a lot of fun. Other than that I studied for my finals --> One down, Three to go! I'm nervous. Pray for me! ;)

That's all for now. Peace out girl scout!
