Luke and Bode

Maysen and I took a walk tonight up to the Pepperwood pool. They have redone it and it is beautiful. Although it turns out that I only took pictures of the diving board. Hahaha. I sent these to Stockton because they changed the fulcrum. They also got better boards. This is so much better!
Maysen and I saw Yolanda walking her dogs and talked to her for awhile. She is so nice! We also saw Jacqui. The weather was perfect and it was so nice to be out there with Maysen. Hopefully the world will open up soon! I guess open up more....

Jorja had a hard day today. She worked from noon to nine. Student government was getting together at noon to work on their dance that needs to be recorded tomorrow. Jorja had to miss that. Hopefully she can pick it up quickly. Jorja hung out with Hailey after work for just a bit. She was waiting until 10:00 because that was when Riley was off. Hailey kept her company. Jorja has been wanting to talk to Riley for awhile. She could tell something was off. She was right. Riley met someone else in Lake Powell. Jorja wasn't surprised at all. She was hurt that he didn't talk to her about it. Hurt that he kissed her after he came home. She couldn't understand why he would do that if he liked someone else. Hurt that she was lied to. He told her he never kissed the girl, just caught feelings for her. The next day Jorja found out that he had kissed her and once again she was lied to. Jorja was hurt because Riley tried over and over to kiss her and she swerved him so many times. One time Riley flat out asked her if he could kiss her. She said that she was scared of kissing boys. She hadn't kissed anyone for seven months and in her experience once a boy kissed her he didn't want to be her friend anymore. Still, Riley was persistent. Right before he left for Lake Powell they decided they were more than friends, but not quite dating. Later Jorja found out that Riley had been talking to this girl the entire time he had been talking to her. She felt like he played her, and she was right. I'm frustrated with Riley because he made all of Jorja's insecurities a reality. Jorja was extremely honest with him and it still blew up in her face. I know she is going to be stronger because of this. She knows it too, but today she is sad.

Jorja was proud of herself for not crying when she was talking with Riley. Once she drove away she broke down. She was driving home about 11:30 and was bawling. She was on Draper Parkway by Walmart when she could tell people in a truck next to her were waving trying to get her attention. She looked over and it was Bode and Luke Hillstead. Once she looked they could tell she was crying and Bode motioned for her to pull over. She parked in the Walmart parking lot and Bode and Luke talked with her for an hour. They were so nice and kind to her. Jorja has known Bode since 2nd grade and they have always been in student government together. They are really great friends. Luke is Jorja's co-captain in PLT and has always been super nice to Jorja. I know Heavenly Father sent them to Jorja today. They were just what she needed. They took this picture to replace the screensaver Jorja had of her and Riley.

Jorja came home around 12:30 and talked to me for a bit. Bode and Luke were going to sleep at Alta and had invited Jorja. She asked if she could go. I told her she could. Even though Jorja was the only girl, I felt like these boys would take care of her and keep her safe. I felt that it would be better for her to be with them then home tonight. What started out as a super sad night ended up being so fun. Thank goodness for good friends. These boys were so kind.
