Starting clear back to finals week....
Thursday of finals week, Christy and I decided that because we had no food, we'd go out to eat at Noodles and Co. I LOVE that place and just found my favorite plate. It's delicious! After dinner, we walked around Best Buy and Home Depot and just talked. It was really fun!
After we went on our little adventure, I came home and finished cleaning the apartment for the cleaning inspection. When Lauren got home, we went to wait in line to see the midnight premiere of Avengers!! :D
Lauren, her good friend Kaitlyn, and I went to The Antics together about a month ago. They had a raffle and I won Avengers Premiere tickets, so Lauren and I got to go for free! We ended up sitting in the third row from the front, but it was still good! :) I loved it.
Friday of finals week I had my last final and finished moving all of my stuff out. I got lunch and hung out with Amanda for a few hours while she was packing. I got home and visited with the fam for awhile and then decided to go visit James Marriott! I haven't seen that man in forever. His mission call came and he is going to Guatemala at the end of August! I'm so excited for him! James, Mike Cevering, and I had a wonderful time that night. We watched some really interesting tv and talked about college and missions. It was good for me. :) I miss spending time with the Marriott family.
I had fun with the family the weekend after finals when I didn't have a home in Logan. :) Amanda stayed with us for most of the weekend as well. We had a blast!
I moved into my new place on Tuesday, May 8. I was exhausted by the time we got everything into the apartment and a lot of it situated. I was ready to crash.
Since I've moved in, I've had all kinds of adventures! I work a lot, but I find time to do some fun things! Here's a picture "slideshow" I guess you could call it, of only some of my adventures:
Brenna and I at our first Home Evening at our new ward :)
Manda, Brenna and me having a girls night doing facials
Going to lunch with Sara while she was in town for the day
Coolest standee I've ever seen. The seat is so comfy! I love my job. :)
Visiting and watching Tangled :)
Trying on hats at Walmart- Brenna's hat and my hat were fuzzy!
Taylor, Nate and I being dorks at 2nd Dam
That's only a fraction of the adventures I've had :) I've met a lot of new people, spent time with other friends and family, and have had time to just forget about school for awhile! I feel so lucky and so blessed! Life is great right now and I'm trying to enjoy it as much as possible! Summer choir starts this Thursday, and I can't wait to start singing again!
I also want to bear my testimony. I know that my Redeemer lives. What comfort this sweet sentence gives! He lives, He lives who once was dead! He lives, my ever living Head. He lives, to bless me with His love. He lives to plead for me above. He lives to calm my troubled heart. I know that Joseph Smith was the prophet of the Restoration. I know that Thomas S. Monson is the living prophet today. I know that the love God has for us is immeasurable and His atonement is infinite. I know that if you put your faith in Him, you will always be better off. I know that nurturing your testimony is so important, no matter if you're in a large trial or out of one. I know that the commandments are there to protect us and not to limit us. I know that temples are so important and the ordinances that are performed within are sacred, holy, and intimate. I know this church is true with all of my heart and I say these things in the name of my Brother, my Savior, Jesus Christ, Amen.
