super sabbath

quick weekend recap. after enjoying a hike with ash, inge & bassie i decided the mtns are so nice and that i did want to smell campfire and smell like campfire so off to my ward camp out i went. the two days were full of good conversations which i realize i crave most of the time. friday night was not complete without a full moon hike at midnight. i'm hoping i can pass on the mooners hiking club wherever i end up. conversations around the burning embers lasted till at lease three when really the giggling happens more frequently and people's filters of what to say/not to say get thin.

among the conversation was the discussion of a secret room located in our church building. the true fact is... it is possible to get to with a key that unlocks another entrance with a ladder attached to the ceiling entrance but really who has the key and who wants to go that way where there is exploring to do.

so those of you who think people get boring as they get older, false. not true...

so after a righteous sacrament meeting i make my way into sunday school class ready for my uplift for the week from tanya. moments after i sit down and meet the new guy next to me, i get a tap from spencer. no hello, hey can i talk to you but a clear statement, "paul and i want to see the secret room." a lil taken away and having somewhat selfish thoughts because of my love of a good sunday school lesson and quite honestly i need the sunday boost in my life to keep me going. i hesitate a little... question about when the other ward will stop and am told we just have a window of time. a little voice comes into my head of my best friend in college, leslie, always saying to me... "what are the times you're going to remember? the times with your books or the times with your friends?" then i thought why do i need to act like a responsible almost 30 year old? so with that i left and we headed to the balcony.

i explained the rules of the exploration, neither could look up my dress and we would have to work together. after seeing the attic opening both thought that we needed a ladder and i said we'd be too obvious with it so we had to go up. using the pew and wall we all lifted ourselves up. paul stated that he luckily can do a pull-up. i was worried myself after going once before and having help but was reminded of the late amy brown now amy plasto that if she could do it so could i. so we departed suit coats (spencer and paul's) and sandals (mine) and headed up. i forgot how dark it is up in the attic and none of us had our cell phones for light.

we walked on the beams in the dark and luckily no old rusty nails found my naked feet. we came to the opening and peered below to the folding chair that awaited our decent. as a good leader would do and seeing that the drop was of a significant amount i voted paul to go first since he was the tallest out of the three. with a lil slam against the wall and a few scrapes and audible ouches he got down. i went last and i was impressed they both actually looked away as my slick $2.90 ann taylor dress came down with me. i left a picturesque foot mark on spencer's nice dark brown shirt. if i would have only old had a camera! the secret room was then observed and then we headed back. one time i will bring a screwdriver and open the shut windows to show my triumphant of getting there.

after returning to the entrance i peeped from the top i didn't see anyone in the chapel. i could hear a voice downstairs but we quickly swung down. i tried to help paul but quickly realized he was best on his own and found my face in his bootie and thought i really don't know him all that well and this may make him uncomfortable and quickly moved to the side. with smirks on our faces we rushed to the unisex bathroom to dust ourselves off and help each other look unsuspecting. luckily all smears of dirt on my face were discarded before reentering sunday school. i even got a good last 10-15 minutes to feel boosted.

after conversations by a campfire and a little adventure during church i feel like i have two new friends whether they like it or not.

later in the day a little smirk as we passed made my day... like i know where you've been today.

we think we're so cool.
