It’s been a few weeks! I need to get better at remembering to post! Haha! Well it’s been quite the adventure! So Since the last time I blogged a lot has happened! The most exciting is when Elder David A. Bednar came to BYU-I to speak at our devotional. It was so cool and so uplifting. It’s not very often that you get to sit in the same room as a general authority and have them speak to you! It was such a neat experience.
I also had the opportunity to go to the temple with my relief society. That was also a neat experience. The temple is so beautiful and I feel so blessed to have it so close. It is literally up the street from my apartment. I love the blessing we receive from going to the temple and I love being able to do service and help bring families closer together. 
I decorated my apartment! I was tired of it looking super boring and Valentine’s day was coming up. So I went to the craft store and bought stuff to decorate our place. It feels like home now 🙂 
So this past weekend I took a girls trip to Utah! Oh man it was so fun to get out of small town Rexburg for a few days. I went with my friends Megan, Sophia, and Gina. We stayed with my great-uncle in Lindon, and on Saturday we did SO much! We went to the Provo City Center Temple open house. But the line was super long, so we just took pictures and then went back later in the evening when the line was shorter. Then we went up to Salt Lake City! We just HAD to stop at the high school where they filmed High School Musical. We spent a good amount of time taking pictures there. Then we had Chipotle for lunch. It was my first time, and it sure won’t be the last. It was so danged good. Mexican food is my all time favorite. After lunch we went to Temple Square. It is so beautiful! The sun was starting to go down at that point, so the lighting was just so pretty hitting the temple. Then we went to Deseret Book. I was in heaven. I could be in that store for hours and never get bored! After Temple Square we went back to Provo open house. The line was MUCH shorter. Wow that temple is so pretty. We couldn’t leave Provo without going to the BYU creamery! It was delicious of course.
Sunday we went to sacrament meeting with my uncle (after getting lost twice) and then we made a pit-stop in Herriman to take pictures in front of the real-life Up house. That place is so cute. I want to live there. And I couldn’t leave Utah without stopping by and saying hi to one of my favorite missionaries! We made it back to Rexburg safely and I just want to relive that weekend again! Here are our pictures!
I’m excited to see what this next week brings:) xox0
