Vocal Point Sightings

Today walking out of Womens Chorus, Abby and I saw BYU Vocal Point! They were performing in the courtyard trying to get the word out about their concert this weekend! It was super cool. I got interviewed by their publicist and got to take a selfie with a couple of the guys. I then stalked them to the food court so I could watch them perform a few more songs...don't judge me.

Pizzzzzzzzzzzza

WE LOVE PIZZA. And giftcards. We actually got this yesterday not knowing that we'd be getting a super sweet surprise in the mail today...a giftcard for MORE PIZZA. :D :D :D :D

I Hope They Call Me on a Mission

Well, I've decided. I am 100% certain about my decision to serve a full time mission. I'm so excited to see what my Heavenly Father has in store for me, and I can't wait to see where on this beautiful Earth He needs me to serve His children.

My official mission photo - Thanks Maddy!

TRC Tuesdays

I'm really enjoying TRC. Cris couldn't make it this week, but my friend Andrew offered to fill in. He really liked it! I think he'll keep coming. Walking to the MTC today was soo treacherous. Andrew slipped on a patch of ice and totally bit it...but on his way down he hit my leg and I came tumbling down too. To make it worse, it's not like we fell somewhere no one would notice - we were right in front of BYU floral, and when we checked to see if anyone saw there were two people staring and laughing at us. Yayy. Andrew is bitter since that's his first fall all season...I'm used to it at this point.

Saturday Service Activity

Today I had the opportunity to do some service for kids at a local hospital. Erin and I, along with some other members of RHA, (Residence Hall Association) met up in the Cannon Center and made some tie blankets to donate to the local hospital. We had a lot of fun!

Once we finished, Erin and  I had little fun braiding our hair together. Nick felt left out so we tried to include him... didn't work too well though haha.

Damage Report

Remember that time Erin fell down the stairs in the temple? Here's the one day later... ouch!

I also burnt my hand in an attempt to curl my hair. That didn't feel too great either, but I think Erin still wins for worst injury of the week.

From Sun Kissed to Snow Kissed

So yesterday it was 60° and sunny. I didn't bring my coat with me to class and I went outside without a jacket for the first time in months. Today I woke up to snow EVERYWHERE. It looks like Christmas again and I feel like I should be listening to Christmas music. It hasn't stopped snowing yet, and honestly I'm done with it. Snow was fun the first couple months, but now it's just cold and I'm ready for the sunshine again.

Autumn - you should be impressed with my hair. Just sayin.

Today was a temple trip for the books... we had a friend of Erin's named Nathaniel tag along, and we had a couple mishaps, all of which involve falling. The most exciting(?) was definitely Erin tripping and falling alllllll the way down the stairs down to the baptistery. Like 5 temple workers come rushing out to see what the disturbance is and it was just Erin gracing the stairs with her presence. Her poor leg is all bruised up now. Rough day. On the way back from the temple the sidewalks were all covered in ice from the snow and freeze, Erin and I were really struggling. We fell a couple times. Bless Gideon and his miraculous invincibility to snow, cold, and slipping on ice. He steadied us more than once.
