Turned 18 and went SKYDIVING...with my mommy!




Can't top that!!!

Music of the Heart

This Sunday we had an amazing stake conference. The best part of all was the music. The fabulous Mike Huff (musical genius) conducted the choir for the last time, as he has moved up to Logan. Our whole stake will miss him terribly but luckily we got him one last time. For the closing song the choir sang I Know That My Savior Loves Me and was accompanied by a small orchestra of talented musicians living within our stake. It was absolutely beautiful and the spirit was so strong. Our stake president, President Hanks, said that music is the fastest way to bring the spirit; the best connection we can get. I'm so grateful for music in my life!!

We Will Not Forget

Now, we have inscribed a new memory alongside those others. It’s a memory of tragedy and shock, of loss and mourning. But not only of loss and mourning. It’s also a memory of bravery and self-sacrifice, and the love that lays down its life for a friend–even a friend whose name it never knew. “
- President George W. Bush

Food, glorious food

You know how you go through food phases? Like you are so obsessed with this certain food you could eat it for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. For a while I was obsessed with grapefruits. Next, it was hash-browns. I'm pretty much a pro at those now. Right now it's Nutella...I mean this stuff is good!! I eat it pretty much everyday and with everything. Too bad it's not that healthy for you :(



Oh, and I got my birthday card from Tucanos with a free meal coupon!!! Yeah, pretty much can't wait to use that :)

2-0

My absolutely favorite thing about school starting is volleyball. We have had two games so far this year (both pre-season) and we won both!! I have loved starting varsity and hearing my name announced over the microphone...it makes me feel so grown up :) We had our first home game yesterday and although there wasn't much of a crowd (there never really is for volleyball), it was fun playing in front of my peers and friends. I think it made me play better because I didn't want to mess up in front of people I had to see the next day! We practice a lot and my body feels like it's falling to pieces, but I wouldn't trade this experience for anything!!
