flashback

So as I was wasting time on Facebook, a 'recommended page' for me to 'like' popped up.  It was of Boys Like girls, and I had a flashback.  The flashback went something like 'Oh, I know them.  Once upon a time I went to California and was in their music video'.  Me. Crazy, right?  I know.

Coming Soon

If it seems like I have lost all motivation to blog, it's completely true.  I have... until now.  Pretty soon my blog will be much more exciting, so stay tuned.  :) 

ps. HAPPY SPRING.  Spring is THE BEST SEASON EVER.

'tis the season

Right after Thanksgiving I had a hard time getting into the Christmas spirit.  It still didn't seem like November had started since this year has flown by, and yet Thanksgiving was already over.  Luckily I have awesome friends who wanted to go to Temple Square a few days ago to see all the beautiful nativity sets and lights.  It was really, really cold and afterwards we drank hot chocolate.  What else would you do after seeing Christmas lights?  I think everyone has that tradition... but anyways, it helped me get into the Christmas spirit and ready for this Christmas season.  It truly is the happiest season of all. 

I also had the opportunity to go to the Christmas Devotional at the Conference Center with my roommate and some friends.  It was great listening to the First Presidency of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.  I felt the spirit so strongly and I realized which gifts I have truly matter the most (immortality, forgiveness, eternal life, just to name a few).  Christmas is about JESUS CHRIST, and we should not get caught up in the stress and chaos of trying to find the perfect gift for someone, or thinking about what gifts we want to have.  I love Christmas, and I'm very excited that it's already this time of year.  19 days and counting...

Here are the pictures of the Devotional.

thankful...

I have so much to be thankful for.  What I'm most grateful for this year are my family, my education and attending the University of Utah, being a few weeks away from graduation, my good health, all my true friends and all the good people I have met in Salt Lake City.  I'm beyond grateful for my knowledge of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, my savior Jesus Christ and my Heavenly parents, and my testimony of the Atonement.  I love this time of year and the joy this season brings. 

Now, here are some fun pictures of my Thanksgiving Day.

Special Olympics

Today I got a call from my aunt and she told me that my cousin would be participating in Special Olympics basketball games here in Salt Lake City.  He plays with the BYU team and they won all three games today.  I was there for the last two and watched the award ceremony.  It was so heartwarming and just enjoyable to watch.   I loved how everyone just played their best and had so much fun doing so.  The Special Olympic community is really awesome.  Here is a picture of my cousin's team.  He is the one laying on the floor. 

Fall Break

I needed a break from school and work and Salt Lake City, and that's exactly what I got this past week.  I went home for five wonderful days.  It was really great being home.  On the drive back up, my sister and her roommate came back up with me.  It was awesome rockin' out on the road with them.  We listened to awesome tunes and it was like blast from the past when we used to go on vacation when we were little.  Oh how I wish fall break wasn't almost over, but I just keep telling myself in 9 weeks I will have a bachelor's degree.  :)  Then it will be like a permanent break until I go back for a Masters Degree.
