This particular Saturday, I bucked up and asked my host mom if Hannah could come over since 1) I wanted a freaking spiritual night with Mormon company and 2) they had technically already met her after the attacks happened.
We bought some food beforehand and snuck it up to my room to munch on while feeding our souls. One of our purchases was a little more difficult to get around....Mint Choc Chip ice cream. It is surprisingly hard to find here! And its not in all Carrefours! Hannah stumbled upon this gem while we spent what felt like an hour wandering my petit little grocery store. We snuck it into my freezer, and then after watching the first session of Conference, we went downstairs and managed to devour the entire carton of ice cream. It was so American I loved it.
During the second Saturday Afternoon session, I was unable to pay attention while all this engagement hoo-rah was going down though! Mom sent me a photo of a ring and a message saying "Can you keep a secret?"
Mom. You cannot start a conversation like that! I was freaking out. Jaycee was about to be engaged in T-minus 6 hours according to my calculations and only my mom and I knew! Well, Hannah too since she was sitting next to me and had to endure my shouts of "Ahhhhhhh!!!" and "Oh my goodness!!!". Ya, I may have to rewatch that session.
I set an alarm for 4 in the morning, an hour after I assumed Jaycee would be getting engaged, and then woke up to find her messages. Happiest moment ever! We talked and talked and I was so tired but so happy and I was even more happy that she wanted to tell ME about it all! This long-distance stuff sucks so this really made my year.
