Let it Snow!

It snowed yesterday!! This Florida girl was so excited - my roommates were so amused by me running out the door and into the bitter cold to try and catch snowflakes on my tounge. Abi said that what I seeing was just "sky dandruff" and that it would get way better as the season went on. Either way, I thought it was pretty exciting.

Not sure if you can see the snow- but it was awesome.

In light of the season first snowfall, and with Candice having already left for Thanksgiving break, I decided that it was as good a time as any to start decorating for Christmas. So I made a ton of paper snowflakes and decorated with them! Abi and Gideon also contributed to my snowflake collection.

In other news - I had my social dance test on Thursday, and also got to participate in the medal exams that day. It was a lot of fun, for the test I danced with Parker and for the medal exam I got to dance with one of my teachers, Wesley. It's so fun dancing with Wesley. Anyways, I ended up medaling with Honors with a score of 90 out of 100, and I had a lot of fun too!

Home Teachers

Candice and I are pretty sure we have the best home teachers ever. Not only do they actually come on a regular schedule, but they bring treats and have a nice spiritual lesson prepared! We love our home teachers!

Temple Tuesday

It's Temple Tuesday! Here are the requisite photos:

Also featured is my roommate Abi. She was struggling.

My Super Duper Fun Weekend

So I had an super duper fun weekend!

Friday: I had a super fun date to go see Tenebrae, a choir from London, come to BYU and perform the entirety of Handel's Messiah with my friend Sid. It was awesome! The Hallelujah chorus had to be my favorite part, but the whole thing was totally amazing. I was lame though and didn't take any pictures... sorry Mom.

Saturday: I got to compete in BYU DanceSport! It was so much fun!! My partner Landon and I competed the Cha-Cha in the Bronze American category. We did way better than we expected to! We made it all the way to Quarterfinals along with 2 other couples in our class. It was so much fun! We got to dance 3 rounds in the morning and then 2 more rounds in the evening. Afterwards, a few of us stayed to watch some of the other competitions. My favorite was the Gold Latin competition. A whole bunch of really good couples danced the Cha-Cha, Samba, Pasadoble, and Jive. It was awesome! I really enjoyed watching those. There were also a couple competitions for the younger elementary school aged kids. They were amazing. They were way better than me, they looked like they had been dancing since they were born - which they very well could of been!

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.
