Spencers Selfies

Average Week

Here are some photos from my temple trip today. I got to bring a family name that my grandma had found for me to do baptisms for! Now I'm gong to mail that name, and the others that I've done back to my grandma for her to continue doing their ordinance work. It was an awesome experience ☺

Also, for dinner in the Cannon Center today there were rice and beans. Not as good as the ones I would make back home, but they were pretty okay.

In other news, the countdown until finals week and Christmas vacation is on!! Here I come Mississippi.. I miss your 70° weather 💘

Lastly, this is how my hair was done for the choir winter concert on Saturday. My roommates worked actual magic.

Fall Concert

The last couple of days have been so fun!! I had the Fall Concert for Mens&Womens Choruses, and it was awesome. I had a lot of people come to it too! Friday night my Uncle Kirt and Aunt Lezlie came, and then on Saturday night my Grandma and Grandpa Black, Uncle David and Aunt Kim, and Spencer and Shayla came! It was awesome to have so many wonderful people come see my concert :) My parents even got to watch it through the live stream online! I'm glad they got to see it too.

I was also lucky enough to get to spend the day with my Grandma and Grandpa! We went to Café Rio with my friend Erin, and then took a look at the library and got ice cream. Grandma gave me the cutest Christmas decorations. I'm so excited to put them up! She also gave me a name to take to the temple Tuesday when I go. I love my grandparents!!

This is Lizzy, she's in my Spanish class.

After the concert, Gideon helped me bring a case of water bottles back to my apartment. Erin met us there and some dancing and Skipboing went down. Spencer and Shayla even walked in halfway through and joined the game. This was Spencers second time playing, and he won again! It's straight magic.

Erin didn't Skipbo, Erin napped.

Halloween

This Halloween was pretty fun, even though it's the first Halloween in probably 18 years that I haven't gone trick or treating. I had a good time though. A lot of people wore costumes around campus. Favorites included whoever was playing the Bagpipes and the girl who was actually the Panda Express. Spencer Shayla and I went to Panda Express later, and then we went to Baskin Robbins. While at Baskin Robbins, who do we see but Whitney and Stephen from Studio C! I swear I see these people everywhere! Later we just went back to my building where we played some Skipbo and Spencer became the chief "bequeather" of cards after his victory. We had some pretty stirring conversation and then I had to go register for classes. I'm signed up for..

In other news, the Women's Choir sang at the devotional Tuesday. We sang "I Know Heavenly Father Loves Me". It was really nice. Then the Sunday School General President gave the devotional on The Book of Mormon. It was really good. We have a concert this Friday and Saturday.

Tuesday was also Temple Trip Tuesday, which was nice as always. Didn't see Temple Man though.

Today is Wednesday, and Wednesdays are officially my favorite days because I get to hear from my favorite missionary! It was awesome getting to talk to Trystaun today and hear all about the MTC and about how the mission is going for this the first week.

Today I went to a Día de Los Muertos celebration. It was a lot of fun! We got to color some skulls, make paper flowers, and there was even some face painting going on. I didn't quite get into that though.

This is Kathy, she lives in the dorm across from me.

And this has nothing to do with anything, but here's a creeper picture of Gideon in the library.

He's the one in the white shirt
