Draper Temple

I sang in the devotional with womens chorus on tuesday and Elder Rasband came and spoke to us about temples and urged us to go through the Draper Temple and the Oquirr Mountain Temple. We sang "Where can I turn for peace" and I thought it was very ironic/perfect that he spoke about the importance of temples. So i called Zach, ditched Provo and spent 3 hours going through.
To all those who havent gone or weren't planning on going for whatever reason, I highly suggest you go. The best way I can describe it is by 2 choice words: "Simple Beauty"
I am so excited that that is my temple now and I can go there for peace and quiet in my busy confusing and ongoing life. Thanks Zach for going with me although you've already been and for explaining things I wasn't sure of.
Everyone go whenever you can, It is well worth your time and it will change your life!

Double Feature

This Saturday, I had the first of my life...
My parents and I went to not one but TWO movies in a row at Jordan Commons.
That may not be a shocker to some of you who regularly do such things
but for me this was huge!
We wanted to see Bride Wars but it was sold out an hour before the showing
so we got tickets to
"He's just not that into you"
(Great movie by the way, everyone should see it, young and old)
then as we were sitting eating dinner before the show started
we decided to get tickets for Bride Wars 10 minutes after the other one got out.
Now,
If anyone knows me, they know that i dont stay awake during any movie
so i was a little skeptical about this
but my parents were both gung ho and super excited
so i figured, what the heck! lets do it!
Needless to say,
both movies were excellent.
I stayed awake for both
and highly recommend to anyone and everyone to see them!
Zach joined us for Bride Wars after he got off work
and it was hilarious!
Loved every minute of my saturday night.
Thanks Mom and Dad for another first in my life!

St. George

No, I didn't go to St. George
but
I'd really really like to.
Do I have any takers
?
I'm thinking of going President's Day weekend...
no school and no work
so take full advantage people.
Think of it
warm sunshine
nice weather
relaxation from the world.
LIVE the DREAM
and
ESCAPE to
St. George
with
ME!

Carrie Underwood Concert

I've decided to stop being so pessimistic and take the time to blog all the fun things that have gone on the past few months. Last fall, Zach's dad took the whole family to the Carrie Underwood Concert. I had an hours notice to get my shift covered at work, shower and get to Salt Lake but it was all worth it! Carrie is incredible and I couldnt pass up this opportunity! Thanks for the incredible memory!!!
Family picture after the concert, I even got a Carrie Underwood t-shirt



I'm not the best picture taker, but just shows you how close we were to the stage!




Little Big Town opened for Carrie, they were incredible!
