This weekend was so much fun, and it went all too quickly but was definetely something i would do this weekend as well. It started off with Friday, the end of term 3. One more term left of High School i cannot believe it. I am very excited to graduate but at the same time sad to think that i won't be with my friends who i love so much! Friday night: i went to dinner with Tanner, and then we just hung out at my house. We had fun, even though we just watched basketball... kind of boring, but at least we got to be bored together right?


Later that night Whitnee and I went to see Hunger Games! I LOVED IT. it went right along with the book and was exactly how i had pictured it. We were there 45 minutes early but still were left with row 3, it was packed. We got used to cranking our necks up to see the screen. It didn't make the movie lose its value. It was SO good! 


I got home around 1:30 from the movie and went right to sleep. I planned on working out in the morning but the snooze button was just more convincing. So i slept in, and then at 9:30 went with a bunch of friends to the Color Festival. It was so cool, and i would totally do it again. You pretty much throw chalk at each other, and you are COVERED. my hair still has a little pink tint from the chalk! These are the moments of High School i'm going to miss.  Mainly its the people i'll miss. 






Then to end this amazing weekend, i got to go to the Young Womens Broadcast in Salt Lake City. I loved all the talks and really felt the spirit. I'm so grateful that i have so many wonderful blessings in my life. So many great friends, a wonderful family, and great church leaders. I am grateful for Thomas s. Monson and for all the other general authorities.

My almost trip to India

So my dad called me up and told me there was a spot available with a group called The Rising Star which volunteers in India to help those with leporasy. The instant my dad told me i could go i felt chills and started to tear up. All i want to do in my life is Humanitarian projects, (and of course be a mom), but i have a tender spot in my heart for helping others, and especially those in third world countries. The decision had to be made in the next 24 hours and i told him yes. Then, the unexpected. I felt it necessary to pray about it since the Lord has always been a crucial element in my making decisions, so i prayed. I felt it was right, but let alone did i know that was just my mind being bias about the whole situation. So i let the Lord talk, and he said no. Not this year. So i had to cancel, and it was kind of sad but i know that the Lord has special plans for me throughout my life. So that was a tender mercy in my life, and i am just grateful for the many opportunities that i have been given!!
