you were right about the stars

I can't believe I get to see you all again in less than two weeks! Yesterday as I walked along the beach of Barcleona, I couldn't help but feel a little depressed to know that in two weeks I'd be sitting in a chapel in Fruit Heights, with my parents, at their branch. Their ward got split and their section of new houses got made into a branch. Isn't that strange? A branch in suburban salt lake. Yep. And in two weeks I can tell you all about it.

Barcelona was so neat. It is one of the cities in Europe that I can actually see myself living in - it's fun, young, big, colorful. It is hard to believe I was even there - we woke up at 3 am to leave on Saturday morning and got back around midnight on Sunday. It was a whirlwind tour, and one of the highlights was that we just happened to be there for Primavera Rock '06 - a big two-day rock festival with over 20 bands and music all day and night. We just got tickets to the mainstage for one night and got to see Cat Power and Jeff Tweety (solo) of Wilco. Amazing. Pure amazingness. You probably remember the CD that that one boy made me, the one that was on constant rotation in our kitchen for most of fall semester. The Song How To Fight Loneliness - yeah, that's Wilco. Love it. Even with the bittersweet memories attached. We also discovered Laura Veirs. Pretty cool.

Oh, and since my birthday is on Friday I've decided to make it a week-long celebration. Please give me some suggestions about how to celebrate each day.

I hope you all are staying warm!
