Utah... Part 2!

Here are some more pictures from Utah. These are on the way home. We stopped at this little park near the Utah State Capital. And the rest are just taken in the car as we were driving. The first one was the sun setting on the way home. At the park, there was a river that was rushing by under a bridge, that is the second picture. The fourth one is the clouds next to the road. It was really cool because it was really dark and then suddenly it was getting lighter, and then the sun started shining. The last one is a picture of a flower that I took at the park. This was a pretty good weekend. I got a lot of great pictures!!

Salt Lake City!

This is how most of my weekend was spent. About 10 feet behind these two. In my own little box where I didn't exist 95% of the time.

This is my new favorite way to take pictures. I love taking pictures of flowers with the Temple in the background. I think it is really beautiful.




Here is Janna, Craig and I on the roof of the Conference Center. The tour was such a great thing to do. We went there for conference but to actually take a tour was really awesome!

For Memorial Day weekend, we didn't have classes today or yesterday so we took a trip down to Utah. On Friday, I went to see Terminator Salvation with Janna and Craig. It was an awesome movie!! I loved it! Saturday we drove down, and stopped in Salt Lake City. We took a tour of the conference center, and walked around inside Temple Square. All of these pictures are from Saturday. After our time in Salt Lake, we went down to Provo. Janna's sister is at school at BYU. We stayed with her and played. They have a pool right outside of their apartment so we swam a little bit. Well, Janna did. I sat beside the pool and watched her. On Sunday, Hayli came over and I got to see her for a couple hours. It was a really good bit of home. Yesterday, Janna's sister had a ward bbq that we went to. We had fun playing games and running around outside. Then we went to the mall and walked around there for awhile. Last night we went to see Night at the Museum 2. It was so funny! I loved that one too! This morning Emily (Sister Burgess)came down to Provo to see me. We went and had breakfast at the BYU creamery. It was so GREAT to see her. Over all I had a GREAT weekend!!!

Dunes. who knew sand could be fun?? Not me!

This past weekend we all went out to the sand dunes. It was so much fun!! Who knew that sand could be fun. I think we probably brought 1/2 of the dunes home with us. We met at wal-mart and that should explain the picture of my roommates in the buggy. Once everyone was there we headed out to the dunes. Everyone had tons of fun jumping off the dunes doing crazy things. I got some pretty sweet pictures out there. I may have said this before, but coffee creamer and fire are a pretty sweet combo. This is a video of this past weekend's fire. We have plans this weekend to go down to Utah. Hopefully I will get some really good pictures at Temple Square. I hope it won't be as crowded since it is not conference weekend. I am SO happy that we don't have classes on Monday and Tuesday!! It's gonna be a nice LONG weekend in Utah.

Pictures!

^^^On the way home to Rexburg, we stopped at a gas station to fill up and it had this dinosaur outside so we took tons of pictures with it.

Oh... How time flies!

Every time I come to my blog so much time has gone by. A lot has happened since the last time I blogged. For starters, I was lucky enough to have the opportunity to attend General Conference. I went down to Salt Lake City with some friends and we spent the weekend there. We watched conference and just enjoyed each other's company. It was tons of fun! We got down around 9:30 on Friday night and watched a Wall-E with Zach's family. On Saturday we watched both sessions of conference and afterward we went to Temple Square, which was closed by the time we got there. But we drove around the city and saw a lot of things. It was really awesome! I went to East High, which is where they made High School Musical for those of you that don't know. And as I'm sure you all know, I am obsessed with HSM. And then on Sunday we watched the Sunday Morning Session and had lunch. Then we got dressed and went to Temple Square. We walked around and I got to take a ton of great pictures. One of my favorite things was that there were flowers all over the grounds of the temple. I really enjoyed being able to go to the conference center and hear the words of the prophets and apostles. It was so beautiful in there, and it was such a wonderful experience. I am really glad that My friends made me go! I almost didn't go because it was the last weekend before finals and I had so much to do, but nothing could have set me up for a better week.

I am into my second semester, and I am still loving it. Idaho is much more pleasant without snow. However, the wind has picked up a lot! I have made a lot of new friends this semester, and our apartment is the cool, new hangout spot. every night we have people show up in our apartment and hang out. I have a new roommate that is from GA!!! Her name is Melissa and she is from the Duluth area. She is great and I love her!! So far, everything is GREAT!!!!

I have some great pictures to post but I will do it later!!
