It's been about a month since I posted so I figured I had better get at that.
Not a ton has really happened, though, just a college student's life I suppose.
March was any other month really, it had its lows and its highs. April so far has been the same but I think the highs have slightly outnumbered the lows.
The last weekend of March, I was feeling a little blue so I did what I do best and went shopping. Desi and Mike had given me a $50 giftcard to DSW for boots as my Christmas gift that I still hadn't used so I went and bought myself a cute pair of church boots because even discounted the snow boots were expensive. I also went shopping at Kohls because Mom and Dad gave me a Kohls credit card with $200 for Christmas and I had only used like $45. I bought a cute new outfit, which I call my "hooker outfit" no worries though, it's still modest. That weekend too, the Hindu Temple in Spanish fork was having the 'festival of colors' it's a hindu tradition where they light a fire and have dancing and things like that and then everyone begins to throw scented chalk as a symbol of unity and to help keep demons away. It was pretty fun! I also had an interview with my Bishop for a limited use temple recommend. Which is nice to have. Jessica and I went to do baptisms that week and it was SO nice, it just brings such peace.
The first weekend in April was conference. Matty was able to score tickets for himself, me and his friend Dave for the Saturday afternoon, and then my ward got tickets and I was able to get a hold of some for the Saturday morning session. Because we thought Dave was going to be spending that Friday night in SLC with a family friend and because we had to be there so early to get into the Saturday morning session, Matty and I went up and spent the night at my Grandpa's house in Murray which isn't too far from Temple Square, and then just took the UTA there. The Saturday sessions were amazing! We got to be there when they called the new apostle, Neal L. Anderson! Dave took us out for Thai food in between sessions which I had never had before but was shockingly good! After the Saturday session we had to haul keester back to Provo, so that Matt and Dave could make it to the Priesthood session. While they were there, I, having had conference leave me with such a wonderful feeling decided to see if I could maybe procure any extra tickets from my ward for the Sunday afternoon session (I already knew there was no chance of gatting any for the sunday morning session). I went and asked my relief society president if she had any tickets left and apparently she and her roomates had decided that they wouldn't be able to make it to the sunday afternoon session and she gave me their tickets! I was so thankful. It actually worked out quite well because my roommate Michelle had gotten a ticket for the Sunday Afternoon session but thought she wouldn't be able to go because she didn't have a way to get there. I called Matty to see if he wanted to go and he was game, my RS president had given me three tickets so I told him he could invite his sister Molly if she were interested or Dave again if she wasn't. We also decided that we would head up there uber early and get in the standby line and hopefully get into the morning session as well and we took lunch with us for in between sessions. We were in the Standby line and they had cut off a group of people right at us and were waiting for them to call another group in when this lady came up and told the attendants for the line that she had four tickets that she wasn't going to be able to use, and when the attendant made the announcement, Matty, Molly, Michelle, and I were all like 'right here!' It was so cool! I got to be in the conference center for all four sessions! I'm really glad we made it into the Sunday Morning Session too because I got to hear Elder Jeffrey R. Holland (my favorite apostle) speak! It was just so amazing! If you go here http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=2253593&id=17811758, there are pictures on Matty's facebook from conference!
We got back to Provo that night and it was after the Canon Center (the campus cafeteria) closed so I invited Matty and Molly over for dinner. I decided to make them my specialty, pasta. Matty asked is he could help. I had a partial box of Penne and a full box of Elbow, I gave them both to Matty and told him to mix them thinking he would use what was left of the Penne and part of the Elbow. Nay. He used what was left of the Penne and ALL of the Elbow! LOL I swimming in pasta for like a week!
The next morning Matty and I decided to go to the temple, he wasn't sure if they'd let him do baptisms with me though because it's so busy so we went pretty early, but they did.
Last week was a little stressful just because it was the last full week of classes before finals and I had a paper due which I procrastinated terribly. Matty and I went to the temple again on Monday, it's amazing how much better my week is when I go, I still have my doubts, concerns, worries, etc. but it isn't overwhelmingly terrible. Yesterday was the last day of classes, today and tomorrow are days to get caught up on studying and then finals start Friday. I'm going to die this summer, I have a four day break between when finals end and when the spring term starts, finals for the spring semester end the 18th of June and then the summer term starts the 22nd of June! I talked to Mom and Daddy though and I may try to fly out and visit Cherstin and Dan in OKC for those few days in June between the spring and summer terms but who knows what'll happen.
