A Week Of Spiritual Feasting

So, this last week was pretty much epic. There was a lot that went on so I suppose I should start from the beginning. I'm currently taking an eternal marriage class that is taught by brother Newell, just so everyone knows he's the guy that does the spoken word every Sunday, it is amazing; he is an incredible teacher and he's always so happy. I must say whenever I go to that class I always feel the spirit strongly and when I leave I feel like my spirit was fed. Anyway last week we talked about Love and maturity and there were so many great talks that we were able to read. If anyone out there has never heard of Fanny's dream they should definitely read it. Here are a few quotes that I loved in some of the reading: John A Widtsoe said, " Love is the foundation of marriage, but love itself is a product of law and lives by law. True love is law-abiding, for the highest satisfactions come to a law abiding life..."  Elder Joe J. Christensen said, " Be quick to say I am sorry . As hard as it is to form the words, swift to say 'I Apologize, and please forgive me,' even though you are not the one who is totally at fault. True love is developed by those who are willing to readily admit to personal mistakes and offenses." Jeffery R. Holland said, "How should I love thee? As He does, for that way "never faileth."  I just love these and hopefully you enjoy them too. I actually got to go to conference Saturday morning and we took the trax to get there; it was fun and I love going to conference because it's completely different from watching it on TV. I feel like everything is just better plus I don't get tired.

 Josie had her Bridal shower that Saturday night during priesthood session; she had way good fun and I had the best of time. I am so happy she's getting married; she's amazing and I am very excited for her. She's this whole new amazing person, well she was always amazing but I don't know she just seems different now and I think a lot of it has to do with going through the temple.

.Well Sunday came around and it was awesome because I got to watch conference with Ian Olsen and my friend Ingrid Scheel who isn't a member and Sunday session I think cleared up a lot of false believes that some people may have about the church. I also had the opportunity of answering her questions after and then she got invited to actually go to the Sunday afternoon session in the conference center! It was amazing. I wish we could have General Conference every week. I feel like I got my batteries recharged and I am ready to go again. Well that's all for now! :) Until next time.

Bitter Sweet Symphony

This week was a mix of awesome and craziness!!! I got to go to the Rascal Flatts concert and it was freaking amazing.I went with my friend Karen, her brother, his fiance, and her sisters. Traffic was a complete disaster, it took us three hours to get there and it was just outside of Salt Lake. Robbie, which is Karens brother made us all pb&j sandwiches, they were the best! overall the trip was the best.

me and Karen on the right

Robbie and Cammi

These two are actually in my Eternal Marriage class. They will be getting married in October; I don't know about yall but, I am super excited.

Karen and I at the concert

Sara Evans opened along with Justin Moore, she did an awesome job even though the sound didn't work for half of the first song she sang.

we thought it would be funny if we piled on eachother

This week was going good when all of a sudden Jehee decides to get sick and we have to to take her to the hospital because she was practically dying!! We'll I guess it wasn't her fault so I should really be upset. So, We took her to the hospital at 10pm and I to call Bryce to give her a blessing. I honestly had so much to do that night and a presentation to give the next day; why did I choose to have 8am classes everyday! We were in the hospital until 2am and then I didn't go to bed until 3. Luckily everything was okay with Jehee, they never actually found out what was wrong with her but, they did pump her up with pain medication.

  The week didn't get that much better especially since the U killed us in football. That was a very sad game; I am very glad to say I am not one of the individuals who payed a 100 dollars for a ticket, instead I watched us get crucified on the tv, it was a lot less painful.Lets hope this next week goes better; Bryce and his roommate Keith came over for dinner tonight and I'm not going to lie, he's pretty cute. I'll have to get his number lol. well that's all for now folks.

Life at the Y

So, I am back at the Y. The trip was pretty fun; it consisted of two cars, me, and the Taylor's. We had to stop like every five minutes so Bryce could pee. When we got to Utah we went straight to my apartment and guess what? The Riviera doesn't believe in keys!! We have a code to get in and out of our apartment ( what if someone was stalking us and found out the code, we'd all be dead).
I am excited for this fall... mostly for the boys lol jk.. well slightly. Anyway, my roommates are freaking amazing; I am living with my bestie, Jennifer Johnson, Mary pike, and Jehee. I've lived with Jen and Mary before but, Jehee is totally new... she's pretty awesome and she says the funniest things. Basically Jehee and I make up the diversity in our ward.. so crazy! Well I survived my first week of classes although I have much reading to catch up on already and a presentation to give Wednesday.

Jehee

We're awesome

This week our stake had a pool party, it was pretty awesome except that when we got home we had no water!!

 We decided that we would all get tattoos for the party.  picked a butterfly and let me tell boy were people looking at us weird.. it's fake people.

Erica, Me, Jen, and Jehee

 This us at the pool; they couldn't decided if they actually wanted to get into the water.

My closet.. well Jen's too but lets be for real I steal her clothes.

 Anyway, my ward is pretty awesome. I like everyone so far and this week we all played broom hockey. I basically sprang my thumb on the ice, who knew falling on the ice would hurt so bad. Well I guess that's it for now!
