I can't sleep

So I am sitting here in my room listening to my family cough and snore the night away. I can't sleep because I took a wonderful 6 hour nap tonight from not getting any sleep last night. Why was I up till 6 am in the morning you ask? Well I will tell...

It all started when Rachel and I went to Shayna's battchelorette (sp?) party. We were having tons of fun! Then 11:30 rolled around and I was ready to go to sleep because I needed to be somewhere at 2 am. So we leave and I take Rachel home and we started talking because we are best friends and that's what we do. So next thing we know, after talking about her boyfriend and my missionary it is 1:20 in the morning and my mom is calling me telling me to get home. That we are leaving in ten minutes. So I go home. I change and run around like a chicken with my head cut off (lovely imagery right? I thought you'd like it) making sure that I get all the things I need. So after the car is loaded and my mother is in the driver seat, we head out to AJ to pick up my older, pregnant sister. We get out there to her house and she and I head out! We are headed to the middle of no where to hand out water to random people running for two days in the wonderful fundraiser called the Ragnar Relay. It's actually really cool. Thousands of people run from flagstaff to Phoenix for two days. Well we get where we needed to be at 3:30, a half hour early :) so we decided to take a nap. Well at 3:50 my phone began to ring. It was the woman in charge of the relay telling us that she didn't need us anymore. So we got up, went to where Wendy's husband was sleeping she kissed him while my tush was being frozen and then we drove a whole 2 hours home. It was wonderful! :D So we got to her house and we fell asleep, she made us all breakfast and then I went home at 10 and fell asleep till 4:30 and here I am talking about my 6 hour nap that I regret 5 hours of it. haha.

Now on with the rest of my day. We played 007, I don't know if you have ever played. But it is tons of fun. I was thinking that we should make it more interesting and challenging. But no one seemed to agree with me, at least not the majority. I had fun running, singing and dancing in the rain though. I wish my missionary was here though. He loved that game and we always had the best time going. Just because he would yell "spotlight" and I would jump behind a bush or a wall and he'd bust out laughing. Punk!! :D haha good times.

I love the sound of rain. I wish that I could have just sat outside and listen to it all night, but knowing Mesa's moody weather, it would turn off and on every ten minutes, or even shorter. That and my neighborhood probably isn't the safest, but that happens. The soft pitter-patter of the rain hitting the roof and the ground. I love watching it fall so gracefully in the light of the street lamp, envious of how it falls through the air. Wishing that I could follow its example and just fall... fall in love.... fall out of love... what is falling in love?! Why do we calling it falling IN love? A good friend of mine says that he doesn't believe in falling in love, you can't fall in love someone, but you can BE in love with someone (he was a lot better and voicing his opinions than I am).

I am so tired I'm just rambling now... I think I'm going to go lie in bed and just wait for sleep to come take over.

Goodnight faithful bloggers, may sweet words fill your thoughts tonight as you sleep.
