"good luck with the girl"

On Friday, Madison and I headed down to SLC to pick up our friend Melissa who is studying abroad in Mexico right now. Her older brother is getting married on Saturday, so she came back for the wedding! It was so fun to be able to pick her up though! :) Us three are all living together next year, with a couple other girls! it's gonna be so much fun! :)

but funny story while we were at the airport:
Madison and I were just sitting in the chairs waiting for Melissa to get here, and this old guy (like 75, a straggle tooth, no hair, ect.) comes up to me and this is the conversation:
Him: Are you girls gonna be here for a while?
Me: Well, we are just waiting for our friend so just until whenever she gets here.
Him: (sits down next to me) I've just been on my feet all day long, so it feels good to sit.
Me: Oh yeah, i bet
Him: This airport has changed so much since i've last been here
Me: Oh yeah? how long has it been
Him: About 3 years
Me: oh wow! Where are you from?
Him: Clearfield (30-40 min from the airport)
Me: oh, i see. Yeah, i bet it has changed quite a bit. 
that was that part of the conversation... and madison and i continue to talk...
Madison: Nat, do you realize that we haven't seen Melissa in 5 months?
Me: I know, it's so weird. I'm excited
Him: I've never seen the girl i'm picking up.
Me: (turning my head to him in shock) Oh really, How do you know her?
Him: We met in a chat room and have talked on the phone everyday for the past year.
Me: (trying everything i can do, not to laugh, especially not look at madison) Oh, wow. That's cool. Are you excited?
Him: yeah, i figure since we've been talking for a year, that it's time to meet in person, so she is just coming to spend some time her with me
Me: That'll be fun! where is she from?
Him: Dallas, she should be her soon
(Madison then gets up from the chair to look at the TV screen to see if Melissa's flight has arrived)
Me: So, how do you know what she looks like? Have you seen her picture?
Him: Oh yes! we've exchanged pictures and things.
Me: That's just fun! 
Our friend Melissa come running down the airport so we sprint off to see her! As we walk past this guy, i wave and say... "good luck with the girl"

Seriously, it was so funny! if only you could see this guy... it was quite the airport entertainment. I wish i could have seen what she looked liked. I wanted to stay and stalk him a bit, but then i thought... creppy! 
 
Today, i went on a sunday walk and laid in the grass by my place because the weather was SOOOO nice! (i think my arms got some color even) on the walk i thought i'd take a snap shot of this... recognize it?

grandma and grandpa's old house! I run past it at least twice a week and i reflect at all the good memories I had there as a child! :) 

Overall, entertaining weekend. It's gonna be weird to leave it all for the summer! only 10 more days!

Funny story!

Love the picture of Grandma and Grandpa's old house. I used to go running by there all the time when I was in college!

airport man=sketchy! And G&G house...maybe you can sneak a handful of rasberries from the side of the house if they still have the bushes growing! Every time I eat those I think of that house!

That is a funny story. Just goes to show you that even the old just want to love and be loved. I think it's rather sweet. Maybe just a bit creepy. Love the pic. I loved visiting Logan.
Loves.....just a few more days.
