St. George Excursion

So I went to St. George this weekend with my roommate.  We had so much fun!!!

On Saturday morning, we got to be in the Swiss Days parade where Angela drove the tractor and i rode on the front being lifted and dropped... haha sounds dangerous but oh was it fun!!! and people in the crowd were gasping and thinking I was gonna die! I loved it!  

We even spent time doing our homework during the day, but after that, it was all partay.

We went fourwheeling for a while down on her farm, and that was so much fun! I thought I might get hurt a few times, but I came out triumphant with only a bruise to show. :)

Then we went to the General Relief Society Broadcast which was phenomenal, and President Uchtdorf's talk just made my day.  I had such a great experience listening to him talk about our joy and our job as women to be happy and help others.

We went to Kurt's house for his farewell party!!! I cant believe he leaves and goes to the MTC tomorrow and then to Finland in December.

After his farewell, all Angela's friends came over and had a giant sleepover in her living room.  It was so much fun, and made me really miss my friends back home. Sadd but true.

Well... Sunday was Kurt's farewell talk and then we left and came back to Provo.  

This weekend was phenomenal and St. George is gorgeous. :)

Two Weeks Into the Semester!!!!

Well its beeeeeen 2 weeks. My semester started beautifully while my roommate, Angela, and I started getting along grandly. We really hit it off. Classes have been quite nice; I think I will thoroughly enjoy this semester, it might be hard, but I love a challenge. Social life is kinda slow because Im working full time, 20 hours AND going to classes. Homework is a bit of a pain, and I dont know, I just am suffering from homesickness.


My dorm is so cute, and I love the way that we have it set up. I am in the shared room with a sink again, and loving it. We don't really have any problems with anything in our room, which is phenomenal.

New announcements? umm... I chopped off my hair, oh and BYU beat UCLA 59 to 0 this afternoon. That was awesome. hmmmmm..... I bought a new pair of shoes for 30 on sale from 70. That was quite nice. I got a new coat for 20 bucks which is adorable, its a pea coat and man oh man is it darling.

I turn 18 in 19 days... I am so thrilled, I dont even know what to do with myself. haha Im a poor college student, so I wont be having a lot of fun. Oh and I got my new address. Its:
3116 Taylor Hall
Provo, UT 84604

Yup... My favorite class this semester is probably going to be Book of Mormon. I love the spirit of the class, and the discussions that we get into. Its not so much doctrine based as it is how the doctrines make you feel. It probably wont help me on the exams, but its really building my testimony to read 30 minutes a day and record what I feel/think.

Oh yeah. Elder Holland spoke at BYU last Sunday for a CES conference to all Young Adults. I suggest you look up his talk, it changed my life. It was all about dealing with trials, and was based on D&C sections 121, 122, 123 while the Prophet Joseph was jailed in Liberty. The jail, although incarceration, was more liberating than a lot of other trials come upon by the Prophet. We all need to realize that through our trials, we gain knowledge both spiritual and temporal to help us make it through the day.

Well... I should go do homework. Please text me, remember me in your prayers.

I love you all.

School Starts tomorrow!!!!!

So Yeahhh.

I am not really that nervous about class starting tomorrow I just am worried about the specific course load that I'm taking. Stat 221 is going to be quite a challenge for me. Chem 101 will hopefully be a breeze.

I start tomorrow and I'm working 21 hours this week, then 21 hours next week.

Juggling work and school will be hard... but pray for me. I need all the help I can get. :)
