Service Auction

FHE was really fun tonight. We as a ward did a service auction and ended up raising over a thousand dollars to give to charity. I think a program called: “Sub of Santa” so that christmas gifts can go to families in need. I made a pumpkin cheesecake pie that went for about twenty dollars and I spent $75 myself. I “bought” a pair of earrings, a pumpkin pie, an oil change and my roommate and I bought breakfast from a couple of guys in our ward, one of which is my home teacher. So that should be fun. I’m grateful for the opportunity to give to charity; I hope I didn’t spend too much. I hope that I will be able to pay my upcoming bills! ah! haha we will see. I’m sure everything will be alright. I heard once that if you can’t learn to give of your money/substance when your poor, then you will never learn how to give. So that is what I’m trying to do.

VIVA LA VIDA!!!

This weekend was awesome! I went to the best concert ever! I can’t believe it still! ok story time…

I went to Coldplay with my friends from Boise: Allison, Ashley and Juliana. It was great to see them again. We went to a great italian restaurant called Biaggi’s. The food was amazing. I ordered a great wild mushroom soup and crab and shrimp canelloni. soo so good. I wanted to try everyone else’s dishes so we all rotated our plates for everyone to try. That was Ashley’s idea and I was awesome! I can’t believe I’ve never thought of that before!  After eating we walked back to the car (we had a great parking spot) and left our food there and also our cameras! sad! because we thought that they weren’t allowed, but everyone had one!   aw well. thank goodness for camera phones haha. anyway we got in, bought some merchandise and were in our seats a half hour early. it was cool to be there, though we were in the nose-bleed and the farthest from the stage. While we were looking at the program, we noticed people with radios and earpieces talking to concert patrons around us, and we were like what is going on! what are they getting! so we make a plan to call one of them over when another guy walks up the stairs by us and Ashley asks him “hey can we talk to you? what is going on?” and he replies with: “how about you come talk to me!” so we four and another couple that was sitting in front of us and run after him to the open area outside the arena. He asks us If we are coldplay fans, and we are like “yeah!” then he is like “ok lets here you scream”, so we did, but then he said “um, im not sure about that” and then we are all sad, but he was totally joking! and he’s like “your going to the floor!” I for one was jumping up and down, screaming. He took our old tickets and gave us new ones. Upon recieving them we all ran down the stairs to the floor, and our tickets were for the third row back! It was so amazing! the stage was awesome. The lights were awesome! the fog was a great effect and the music was great! I am now a fan a Coldplay. They put on an amazing show! They even had tons of confetti! I was screaming and dancing like a crazed fan! I would describe more of the show but it just isn’t the same. The show ended at about 11pm. My good friend Lynette graciously let me and Juliana stay at her parents house with her. She was home for Thanksgiving break. i went to sleep at 12am and didn’t wake until 1130am. I was so sore. It was a tender mercy (to name one of many) of the Lord that Lynette’s family ward wasn’t until 130pm. Im glad I could sleep in and be awake for church. Family wards are always interesting to attend. But I enjoy Singles Wards more because they are a bit more reverent. Anyway, being at Lynette’s house had a welcoming spirit, and her and her whole family were so generous. Such a blessing. I was able to drive home safely and excitely tell my roommates about the concert. This weekend was great. The best ever. Life is wonderful. Now that I have had a sufficient amount of play time, I need to buckle down and study for two weeks to finish the semester strong!

Thank you for reading! Until next time, Have a great day!

Crazy Enough.

So last night, well this morning, I grabbed a few friends who were crazy enough like me to go see “Twilight” at 2:30am. It was really fun! We went and got tickets at midnight for a fear of them being sold out at 2:30, of course it wasn’t, but actually there was a good amount of people there! and when we got out of the movie at 4:30 there was a line waiting to get into the 5am showing. I honestly didn’t think that this movie would be that popular, just goes to show how ignorant I am. Anyway, after we left the movie I was driving up a hill to drop one girl off at her dorm when I got a flat tire! So I back up out of the way and proceed to take everything out of my trunk in order to get the spare and jack out. I must say that I am truly grateful for my dad who taught me how to change a tire. It really isn’t all that hard! I think I would have done pretty well all by myself. But I’m glad I wasn’t, and I’m glad my friends didn’t just stay in the car they were helpful and concerned. I’m also grateful for the guy who stopped by, because even though I know I could have managed it, he pointed out some things that were necessary, like not sticking one’s feet under the car and how to get the hub cap off…I’m grateful for friends who are great examples of faith and righteousness and also for the Lord watching over us in our crazy shinanigan activities.

Welp! I’m off to Salt Lake on another crazy adventure: Coldplay.

This is me.

I’ve decided to start a blog. Even though no one may read it, i want to write down my comings and goings and random things in my days to remember them.
Currently, I am a student at Utah State University, studying Business Management. This is my first semester here and I have really enjoyed it thus far. I don’t know what exactly it is that I want to do as a career, but I know for sure that I want to become a wife and mother. I have learned that family is the most important aspect of life. So for now I am doing my best to prepare for the next step in life, of starting my own family.
As for now, life is good. I love college life of learning and growing, making friends, laughing, working hard, and accomplishing goals. I enjoy going to school, working part time at a restaurant, and being a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. It is who I am and who I will become. I love the Lord and all the goodness and tender mercies I receive from Him. I am truly blessed.
I am so excited to start this blog. Thanks for reading! See you soon.
