Winter Semester Wrap Up

I really can't believe my first semester of college is over. I seriously didn't realize how much I would miss it, and it's only been a couple days. Drove down to Provo this weekend and realized all the blessings I have. Things didn't happen how i expected them to at all, but honestly half is luck and half is timing i suppose- and I had a wonderful semester- bumps and all. Amongst many things here are a few I'll miss a lot:

-Living next to (or with) my bestfriend

-Having the most loving and wonderful roomies

-Dressing up for devo with steph

-Learning the new-ness of campus

-Movie nights and truck rides with Conner

-The great and annoying things of Barnes Hall

-Creeping around as Relief Society Secretary

-Cleaning Jays apartment and our crossroads runs

-Random letters from my missionaries

-Meeting wonderful neighbors (like kitty!)

-the "things people say" jokes we make as roomies

-Attempting to Skype my family with crappy connection

-Wonderful professors and afternoon classes (since I'm not a morning person and all)

-My FHE family

Annnddd here's a plethora of recent pictures-beware...or enjoy. up to you..

Conference time! 182 Edition

So we had General Conference this past weekend, and be we I mean the Mormon population of the world. It was WONDERFUL. I love conference, personally. I didn't used to so much as a kid but now that I can pay attention (or a tad more attention than i used to), and take notes, I end up loving the strength I get from these talks. Between watching it at my home with my posse and at Conner's, it seems apparent that no matter where you are there WILL be someone taking a conference nap. 

Also got to see Elder Kent Bateman sing in the MTC choir as well! So fun to try and pick him out from the crowd-and surprisingly not very hard either. 

 (I gave you guys some help with some nifty arrows as well...) If you know Elder Bateman, you can keep up with his mission blog by clicking HERE. 

Annndddddddd if you'd like to hear some of what we learned at conference this year-here's a favorite of mine. Or feel free to roam from this link to other talks. Although, who doesn't love Uchtdorf? :)
