This weekend has been really good so far. It started Thursday night for me. I went to the Provo Temple to do baptisms with my friend Michelle. We got there at 5:30 and figured we'd have enough time to do baptisms before 8 when my friend had to babysit. Well at 7:30 we still weren't close to being able to do baptisms because it was really busy, so we had to leave. Friday morning I decided to go back to the temple by myself to do baptisms. It was really nice, and was a great way to start the weekend. Friday evening I drove to my bishops house in Payson with my friend Michelle for our Relief Society sleep over. We played some games and had dinner. It was a really fun night and it was great getting to know the girls in my ward. We stayed up late and got up early to go help build a house. The program we helped build the house was building 6 different houses in a community for low income families. The families chosen to live there all had to help build each of the houses, that way they were able to live in the houses cheaper. After we left we got ready to go to the Festival of Colors with a couple girls in my ward and some of their friends. I ran into Katie Packer and Bryce, so that was nice to see them. I had so much fun at the Festival, I think I'll have to start going each year. I got so dirty, but that's okay, it was awesome! After I cleaned up I went to my Relief Society presidents apartment for dinner. We made hamburgers and hot dogs, then we watched The Goonies. It was such a great weekend. I did wake up kind of sick this morning, but that's okay it was worth getting sick for this weekend. The pictures are backward, but that's okay.

We were in charge of building 2 posts. Each 10 ft long, 5 1/2 ft wide and 5 1/2 ft thick. It took us longer than it should have, but it was still really fun
This past week has been pretty good. Friday Broc and Joanna called saying they were in Provo, so they came over for a few minutes to visit before going to her parents house. After they left I went with Nikki to a couple stores because we were both looking for some new jeans. We went back to her house and started watching Memoirs of a Geisha before going to see Valkyrie at the Dollar Theater with her husband. Sunday morning Joannas brother Jonathan picked me up to drive up to their parents house in Farmington for their brothers farewell. Monday we went to temple square and walked around. Then we went to lunch at Moochies. It was pretty good. That night we watched Eagle Eye with Joannas parents and sister. Tuesday they brought me back to Provo. It was really nice to be able to spend time with them. Wednesday I had to go get a new license, since mine expired on my 20th birthday. That was a big ordeal. I looked online to see what I needed to bring to the license department and it said I needed to bring my social security card, my birth certificate or passport for identification. Well all of those are with my parents in San Diego, so I had my mom fax me a copy of them, only to find out they don't accept copies of those documents. So I had to go to the Social Security building, where I had to wait an hour just to get a sheet of paper with my number on it. So I went back to the license place to find out I couldn't pass the vision test to get my license, so I had to go get an eye exam and have them sign a paper for the DMV. I went to a bunch of different places to find the cheapest place to get an exam and I ended up going to the Wal-Mart vision center. After about a 15 minute exam the doctor told me I had to get glasses. I picked out frames and lenses, but by the time I did that it was too late to go back to the DMV. So yesterday morning I got up early and was able to get my new license. I am so glad thats over with. Yesterday was a pretty good birthday. I went to lunch with Kate then went home to take a nap because I am sick. Preston had sent me a letter and birthday card that I got yesterday, and that was definitely exciting. Then Nikki invited me to go to dinner with her, her husband and his friends. We went to Jasons Deli which was pretty good, then we went to Cold Stone. We went back to their place and watched Oceans Thirteen. Overall it was a pretty good birthday. It was nice talking to so many people. Thank you to everyone that helped make yesterday nice! I miss you all. I'll try and post some pictures I've taken since I've been up here soon. I just need to figure out how to do it.
So not much has been going on. Wednesday I hung out with Nikki and we went to see Marley and Me at the Dollar Theater. Then I had to go pick Becky up at the airport. When we got back to her apartment we had dinner then we went to some girls house to go in the hot tub. Well I ended up passing out after getting out of the hot tub. I could tell I was really dizzy so I got out to sit on the ground. I'm not exactly sure what all happened, but I hit my forehead on the ground and cut my head, as well as my knee and my foot. That was a great day ha. Then yesterday I had to take Becky up to Ogden for her doctors appointment, then back to the airport. That evening Nikki and I went to the Draper Temple open house for my ward activity. I enjoyed going with Becky the first time because there weren't many people there so we could enjoy it more, but last night there were a TON of people there and we were standing in line the whole time. It wasn't really reverent and it made it a lot less enjoyable. When I got home I made some cookies and a beanie to send to Preston. Then I watched Australia with my roommate Heather and her friend, so I didn't get to sleep until about 1:30. Today I didn't really do much, I took a nice long nap this afternoon. Going to bed that late definitely took its toll. I applied for a couple jobs today, and I'm really hoping to hear back from someone really soon. I'm getting extremely restless. Well thats all that has really gone on the past few days, nothing too exciting
Hey everybody! I figured the best way to keep up with everybody was to make a blog, since it seems like the big thing now-a-days. Well for those of you who don't know, I'm living in Utah now. It's alright I guess. I'm just trying to find a job, but it's not working out so wonderfully yet. I live with two other girls, Heather and Brenna. I share a room with Brenna and don't get much sleep(she's really loud and it keeps me up). Heather is really nice and I have enjoyed getting to know her. I'm in the BYU 160th Ward. So far everyone in my ward is really nice and I've enjoyed getting to know people. I haven't made a ton of friends yet, but that's okay. I've hung out with Kate a couple times and Nikki a bunch. It's nice to have them so close. The weather has been warming up and the snow is pretty much gone except in the mountains, and I'm really sad about that. I am looking forward to school starting in April and hopefully having a new place to live with my own room. I can't wait until Broc and Joanna come here for Joanna's brothers farewell, it's going to be so wonderful to see them. I miss everyone at home so much, so it'll be nice to spend a little time with them. Everyone has been asking me how I'm doing with Preston being gone, and just to answer...I'm ok. Of course I miss him, but there isn't anything I can do so I'll get through it. It's a great opportunity for him, so I support him. Once I have something exciting going on I'll post something and I'll try and post some pictures. I love you all
