Shopping

So yesterday i didn't get to go to the temple because it was raining, so me and Sarah went on our own little adventure!! We found this amazing noodle place!! They were amazing...like it was better than panda. if only they had orange chicken...but they had beef in it? and it was really good! we made friends with the people who worked there. they laughed at us as we tried to order in Chinese, and act out certain things that we wanted. I'm surprised at how nice everyone is..like no one tries ripping us off (well at least what we know of..) and they all try to help and understand us. its awesome. we are going back to the noddle place at least once a week...! it was kinda funny cause everyone stares, and Sarah went up to get a box to put our food in, and I'm sitting alone at the table and some guy come up to me and he says "hello" in his thick accent, and he says something in Chinese, and then points to his phone...and tries handing it to me. like he wanted my number? i was like uhm i don't have a phone! sorry, and then i showed that ring on my finger and he kept trying to hand it to me anyways and so we said sorry and left...crazy Chinese people!

we also got our nails done, and the ladies who did it were soo nice! we used there computer to go to a translating site and we would type messages in and they would read it in Chinese. it was awesome! we asked them where good shopping was and they wrote down on a piece of paper the name of it in chinese so we could give it to the taxi driver! and they also gave us one so we could come back! we left them a huge tip for helping us and they said to come back cause they liked us. i have to admit i was a little paranoid that they wrote down a wrong address and we were gonna get stolen or something, but no worries, it was right!!

Shopping was soo much fun! i found some jeans, a shirt, and some shoes! i even got to practice my bartering skills...it was exciting! i tried one this one shirt and it was really cute but i didn't want to spend that much, so i said no and she lowered the price, and then i gave her a price and she was like no no! so i walked out and she followed me out of the store with a lower price! haha it was really funny, she really wanted me to buy that shirt. Its funny because these stores are so little so when you try them on the hold up a sheet in the corner of the store and you just get undressed! it's crazy..everyone wanted us to come in there store. we met a lot of friends there.

i calculated it out to see how much i spent and it was only 50$ in U.S. money..which i thought was really good! i bought food, ice cream (yes, i actually found IcE cReAm!!!!) the taxi, jeans, a shirt, shoes, and got my nails done. that would have been an impossible feat in mesa...! i was super excited:)


so I've been itching really bad lately, and i have bumps all over my body...someone said they think i might have bed bugs...I'm really nervous about that, i hope it's not true...i would cry...

we made our cake last night too!! we bought a pan and everything but then realized once we got home that it wouldn't fit in the microwave..lol so we used a Tupperware dish and put the cake batter in it! we had to do that like 5 times and we still have left over cake mix. it was sooo good tho...maybe i wont need those top ramon after all!! haha I'll just be like Kami and Jami and eat cake!

i don't know when my first vacation is? and i get my kids Wednesday or Thursday of this week. my first break probably wont be till the end of September? I'm not really sure!

oh i found a jacket that is really cute but it's not that warm...i need to keep looking for one. i love you and miss you!
