The Calm after the Storm

So last week was a crazy week with lots of mid-terms and projects due, this week though was a welcome relief.  In the midst of my studies, I have had a lot of fun this week.

 On Sunday we went and visited the Provo Tabernacle.  It is so exciting that this tabernacle is going to be turned into a second temple for Provo! I am so excited, and hope that it will be done before I graduate!  Now my two homes will have two temples.  South Jordan has the Oquariah Mountain and the Jordan River temples and soon Provo will have two!  Of course with much given much is required, it is up the members to use temples and keep this temples busy doing the work of the Lord.

  No I am not eating whipped cream out of the bottle:)

 So I got to go home this week and on my way back to Provo, I saw the full moon glowing in the sky under the clouds.  This isn't the best picture, but it really was so pretty!

 Today, Jenny and I were feeling a little blue... a little true blue that is! A BYU homecoming tradition to slide into a big pile of you guessed it BLUE FOAM!

So far, this week has been full of lots of fun adventures... these have been some GREAT DAYS!

JENNY!

 Lil Jen! I am so glad to have Jenny as my friend.  She is the nicest, prettiest and the greatest person ever.  She is such an example to me to love everyone.  I love her so, so much.  Here we are at the football game on Saturday, isn't it obvious why I love her so much!  Jenny is from Canada and the 2nd Monday in October is marked as Thanksgiving for Canada.  To celebrate, Jenny and I made a college-style thanksgiving dinner! We had turkey roast, mashed potatoes, rolls, and apple pie.  We invited people over that had ties to Canada, it was a lot of fun.  I am so thankful for Jenny and her Canadianship!

Snow?

... So it snowed today!  It was so crazy to see snow again, I think that summer abruptly ended.  Yesterday was sunny and warm and then today this! It's okay though because I had an excuse to warm up with some Hot Chocolate! 

In other news..."The testing center is not a condusive environment, it is a holding cell, that has all the stress from many years building up in its walls."-My Econ Professor
This is great motivation right before our test...which it turns out was canceled because he sent the wrong test to the testing center, I am not complaining :)

A little China Culture

So my sister texted me yesterday about this chinese orchestra that was coming to BYU tonight.  I have to say I was a bit skeptical at first, but it was a really good preformance.  They had some really cool chineses instruments.  This was the first time that this orchestra has been to the U.S. and I am so glad that I got to see them.  It is always really neat to see other people's culture!



This isn't the best picture, but you can see some of the instruments that they used. 
Also up front are the two opera singerst that preformed. 



My Weekend

Saturday's football game was a huge disappointment, I don't
even what to talk about it, but I did have lots of fun with two of my
favorite people Jenny and Natalie!!!!

Saturday was not the highlight of the weekend, but Sunday was! Just after getting out of Church, Jimmer walked out of his ward! Crazy!  I was so close to him, and when he walked out the door, he held open the door for Jenny and Me!

Hopefully the football team will redeem themselves this Friday, hopefully Saturday's game is all the humbling they need!

More Pictures

Here are some more pictures from the first few weeks of school!

On labor day I hiked to the top of Mt Timpanogos, it was a
long hike but so worth the view at the end. 

Last Saturday was honey harvest day! We had so much honey by
the end of the day!. Look at this crazy beehive.

Oh Wyview! Look at the clouds I think I could walk right up to them.

RAIN, RAIN, RAIN! So for the past two Fridays, mother nature has
decided to rain on me right when I get off work! What rotten luck!

Last Week of Summer/Beginning of School

So I have been super busy for the past month, the last week of summer I went off to California to go to Disneyland with my family.  The week after that school started!! So life has been pretty hectic, but I am loving every day of it.  Here are some pictures from the past weeks

It was super hot all week in the California Sunshine, so we took a trip to beach to escape the heat. 



In California we went to this really amazing restaurant.. totally amazing!




Oh my brother looks so happy!



The World of Color-This was my absolute favorite thing in Disneyland.
Music, water, lights! So cool!



They were so excited to sit next to me, Can't you tell?



One day we went to Legoland...

My favorite part was the cities that they made out of legos.

The white house

Statue of Liberty

So cool, right?



So long Mickey, it was super fun, and I will hopefully be back soon!
