Half birthday weekend

First off, we are so blessed to have so many temples here on this earth. It's an amazing feeling to know we have the privilege to go to the temple to help us feel the love our Savior has for us! It was amazing to be able to attend the temple dedication on Sunday. Each of those speakers were truly inspired. I attended the 2nd session and one of my favorite lines came from President Packer when he said that he has traveled over two and a half million miles, and the first thing that has always been on his mind was serving and following Jesus Christ. I loved that I think we can each apply it to our lives. If we put Him first we will truly be blessed!


All summer long all of the USU oakies talked about getting together to have dinner at the domestic married couple's abode. Lucky for me my half birthday happened to fall on the day we decided to have this little dinner party. Maddie J and Cait were kind enough to get me a present, which included:
-half a deck of cards
-Half of a T-shirt
-Half of a book
-and a kitten book
They also sang me half of the birthday song. (Both the original version & the Oakcrest version). It was wonderful! After dinner we had a unit prayer together. It was so nice to be with these girls and feel a spirit similar to the one we had at Oakcrest. I love each and everyone of you! Thank you for a wonderful weekend everyone!

Just a few things

 First things first. I love Utah State!!! I am so happy that I am back here in Logan! I am so blessed to have the roommates and friends that I have here! I don't think they realize the impact they have on me! Especially my roommie Tarah. I honestly don't know where I would be with out her and her advice!
It is nice to have 5 of the 6 of us back here in Logan! I miss you a ton Mia, but I know you are where you are supposed to be and that you are a rock star! I love these girls to death! I'm also lucky to have awesome roommates again this year! It's such a blessing to have wonderful examples always around me! I am a lucky girl!
Besides having awesome roommates, I have some of my awesome Oakcrest friends here! It has been so much fun having them around! They are some of the strongest girls I have ever met, and I am so incredibly grateful for the influence they have made on my life!!

Also, welcome home Elder Gibson! I can't wait to hear all of your stories!

I am in love with this song right now!

Introducing Bridge Boarding

Earlier this week my friend Dustin told me he wanted to take me Bridge Boarding.
I agreed to go but I didn't even know what I was getting myself into.
After trying it I can say it is the most terrifying and thrilling thing
It is just like wake boarding except for a few things:
1. Instead of being tied to a boat, the rope is tied to a bridge (hence the name)
2. Instead of being on a lake, it takes place in a rushing river
3. You wear awesome tennis shoes instead of being strapped to the board
4. It's the best alternative if you don't have a boat.
 
Hopefully I will get better as time goes on....and before it's cold!
 You can tell I'm a noob and just learning
and Dustin is on his way to going professional?
