The "Sister" Missionary Mall

If you've ever been in the Provo/Orem area of Utah, it's kind of hard to miss this place-

There is sort of a huge, inflated missionary on top. In the same complex is a less grand, yet aptly named "Sister Missionary Mall" and that's where I went with my parents today.

For the most part, it was a really great experience. We ended up buying 5 tops, 5 skirts, and 2 dresses, all for about 30-40 dollars each. The girls were super cute and helpful. (I will admit that one of the workers got on my nerves for no particular reason. Have you ever had those people that you just don't like? Yeah, it was like that.)

My dad was "really sold on their shoes" but I honestly THOUGHT THEY WERE REALLY UNATTRACTIVE!! There. I said it. Phew, it feels good to get that off my chest.

On a more personal note: I have this best best best best BEST friend of mine who I really adore, named Alyssa. We've been close for a couple of years and even went to college together. Her call is getting assigned today and she's opening it next Wednesday. She told me she only wanted her family there and for some reason that really really hurt. Am I wrong to be mad? I really wanted her to be there when I opened mine and so I guess I expected the same attitude. Maybe we just aren't as close as I thought.

Maybe this is just PMS. I did sort of cry about it... It's a big deal to me.

Advice??
