Conference Weekend

Man. Last week was nuts!! I had my first test in my dance class and I did really well. It gave me so much more confidence in that class because I have felt SOO behind all the other girls. I got asked out by some random Canadian at an etiquitte dinner in front of everyone. I had test reviews out the wazoo...along with tons of homework. I started studying in the library which has proved to be very productive! Who knew? haha

Friday night I went to see Kung Fu Panda with some friends at the theater in the student center. I forgot how dang funny that movie was. Then I called Todd and he told me he and Kristine dear had extra tickets for the after noon session saturday! I was super stoked. It rained all night Saturday so in the morning for conference there was snow on the mountains. It was just BEAUTIFUL! We drove out to Salt Lake and walked a few blocks to the conference center. It is SO neat inside there! That session was so perfect for me. I have always enjoyed conference but I've never felt like things were said for me. That was ALL I got from that session. Each thing one of the brethren said TOTALLY applied to my life right now. Elder Holland's talk was definately one of my favorites. I have so many angels in my life. I'm so blessed to have so many amazing righteous examples in my life.

During the priesthood session Kristi and I walked around Salt Lake and shopped and such so that was fun. We also saw the Reflections of Christ exhibit by Mark Mabry. The pictures are so powerful..




The Sunday session I was able to attend was...eventful to say the least. I was a little mad at myselt that I let something so dumb distract me from being in the prophet's presence...


This week is going to be pretty dang nuts too. I have my very first ever midterm tomorrow. Then the second on Wednesday. Brennen's birthday is this week and the present I'm sending him I kind of want to keep...Friday I'm going to the Homecoming dance and Saturday I'm going out with the random Canadian dude.

Bom noche

Oh, the thrills of dating life at BYU. It sounds like you are already completely consumed. Which isn't a bad thing!:) What dance classes are you in Jess, and who are your teachers?

Life is all about change. Isn't that what President Monson said? I love you. I'm so glad you got to attend conference in the conference center.

I'm so proud of you! Keeping good attitude is so important. I'm jealous you get to hang out with Kristi and Todd, so not fair. I'm swamped with mid-terms too. Don't worry you'll do awesome. I also discovered the power of the library. Can you believe I'm as senior and I'm just now figuring out that I get more done when I don't have people wrestling and screaming all around me. Who knew? Glad you got that habit down now, you'll need it later. Love you!!
