Back in Paradise

So much has happened this week, and yet nothing at all has happened. It's weird. I made it safely to Rexburg at 7:30 pm, 1 1/2 hours before I was supposed to get there.... The traffic was light? Anyways....
When I saw the Temple from a few miles out, I got soooo excited! No joke, it was amazing. I wasn't sure what I was going to do first. See Michelle, drop Jake's stuff off, or go to my new apartment.
I decided to drop Jake's stuff off first so that my front seat would be free.
None of his roommates where home and he was in Utah.
So I decided, that since I was at Nauvoo, I'd go see 103 (after stopping at 204, no one was home!)
I got a warm welcome!
The guy who answered the door was a new roommate and went back and said,
"Hey Sterling and Danny, Shelby's here!"
and all of a sudden I hear a loud
"SHELBY?!?!?!?!?!!?"
come from Sterling and footsteps running down the hall, and was the tackled by him. It was great!
Then Soon after I hear Danny do the exact same thing.
It was good to know I was missed :)
They didn't know I was coming back for good though (they must not read my blog or facebook),
hence, the surprise.
We all sat down and visited for a bit, then decided we should all do something that night.
I was reluctant, I wanted to hang out with them.... But I was gross from traveling all day.
They didn't care.
So I called up Michelle and we all went bowling!
It was fantastic.
I'm pretty sure I beat Michelle both times, but there was NO way we could even come close to Danny and Sterling's score, it was slightly ridiculous how good they were!
After bowling I decided that I should probably go unpack.
So I said goodbye to them and headed over to my apartment.
I got the key and guess what?
It wouldn't open the freaking door!!!!!
I about broke down in tears.
I was already under a lot of pressure about my decision for coming back and that did not help!
I wasn't sure what to do.
I stood there knocking for a while and trying to open the door.
Nothing.
So I headed back to 103.
Sterling helped me calm down by helping me glue my parking sticker to my bumper (did I mention it wouldn't stick and if you don't have one your car could get towed or booted, that was the LAST thing I needed.)
Then we headed over to my apartment with his lock picking thing.
We didn't need it. Because as SOON as he touched the door knob my roommate unlocked the door. Go figure huh?
Sterling was kind enough to help me unload all of my stuff.
I had a lot. Then we went to Wendy's where we had an argument about who was going to pay.
He won.
Then we went back to his apartment and Danny, Sterling and I watched Lord of the Rings. I watched about 20 minutes of it before I started nodding off, it was after 12 and I was exhausted.
Saturday was the start of P90X.
I'm sick of all the fat comments, so I decided to do something about it.
Apparently my future posterity depends on me being thin.
Anyways...
It was a good work out, and I'm starting to see some results (After a WEEK).
So I'll stick with it :)
Most of the week I was either catching up with friends, bonding with my new roomies, exercising or doing job stuff.
Danny helped me write my resume on Tuesday.
It was so so so nice of him because he took a lot of time out to help me.
My mind has been mostly on job stuff or boy stuff.
That could be a possible alterior motive for the P90X.... Maybe.
It's been a good first week back.
Different than I expected.
But good.
We'll see what my 2nd week will bring.
Less tears, more laughter.
That would be wonderful.
