The Little things that make me happy!

This weekend I have learned that the little things in my life are the things makes me the happiest!
I couldn't have asked for a better weekend.  It all started with an amazing Friday night. Me, Katie,Darrin and Mud went to the Manti temple to do baptisms for the dead and had the most amazing experience while there. As we walked into the doors of the baptistery the temple workers were happy to see us( a little extra happy).We later found out that four couples had come in with 250 family file names and needed help with them. So I had the wonderful opportunity to be baptized 25 times and also confirmed 25 times for those women who have been waiting on the other side. What a joy it is to know that even though I am here on earth I can still help those in heaven. After we all were done pres Bennett the second counselor in the temple presidency came and talked to us about what we had done those people on the other side. One thing that really stuck out to me while he was speaking was when he talked about how we just gave them the keys to release them from spirit prison. What an amazing visual that is off those women accepting the gospel and progressing on the other side. I couldn't have asked for a better Friday night than 2 hours at the temple.


Then there is Saturday. I had the opportunity to go brand calves with Scott and his Dad and Katie and Darrin came along. Being around cows is  something that I miss about home. The day was full of laughter as we teased each other and of course a little work, but not to much.The day continued with studying my lesson and the day ended with working at the Malt Shop(o malt shop how I love thee..sometimes)

Then there is the most amazing day ever and that would be SUNDAY I love Sundays.
 I got to teach relief society for the first time ever and boy was it nerve racking but I think it turned out good. I think the lesson was more for me than anyone else. It crazy how the lord works and always knows what we need personally in our lives. As always the rest of church was amazing. Something that we like to do on Sundays is get together and have a big dinner. Of course it was a beautiful day and we headed up the mountain to dutch oven some potatoes and chicken. and of course cobbler because its my favorite! As we were cooking we ran out of propane but luckily for us the food was done thanks goodness cause I don't know what we would have done. It was an awesome Sunday and I am so grateful for amazing friends to spend it with.
I have truly had an amazing week and although nothin to spectacular has happened I learned that the little things in my life are what makes me happy and excited for the next day.

GOODBYES

I have been so blessed these last 2 years to have the oppurtunity to have 2 amazing rommates and this year to add another one. Sophie Brinli and Kayla have become my best friends. And of course the end of the year had to come and goodbyes couldnt wait any longer...........
The last time altogether!
You know those days when you wonder why you are in a certain place and then a few days or evens two years later you realize why....well that would be me! I always knew Snow college was where I was suppose to be, but  I still had those days of asking myself why. As the end of the school year approached I aften found myself looking back at how much have grown and how much fun I have had while being here. I give the credit to my father in Heaven for directing my path to snow college and I give credit to my Best Friend and roomates who have been amazing examples to me. When you have amazing examples in your life how can you not grow. Each one of my roommates taught me something new and each one of them have influcenced me in a positive way. I will forever be grateful to the lord for placing these amazing people in my life!


holding back the tears and forcing a smile

I have absoulutly loved being here at snow college these last two years and I am greatful to have another year with Kayla, but sad that It won't be with all of my best friends (soph, Brinli, and Katie).
 We still got one more year!!:)

Although I had to say goodbye to My roommates I have the oppurtunity to live with my best friend for one more month. Although I was always warned to NEVER live with your best friend I am and I love it. We are going to live it up for one more month and then the dreaded goodbye must come but that is still a few weeks away so heresto a few more of weeks of playing!
