why mormons rock.

i love being mormon. i mean i really really REALLY love being mormon. i can't imagine living my life any other way. being up at byui has been awesome because i have had a lot of opportunities to realize how awesome belonging to the church of jesus christ of later day saints actually is!

these are some of the reasons i decided this weekend why being mormon is so awesome.

1) while tons of other college students spend their saturday nights dead drunk (or worse) mormons spend there saturday night singing along to the movie Aladdin.
2) if there are more than 5 mormons in one room then, inevitably, at least 2 people will have some sort of wierd connection. Usually somebody knew somebody from somebodies mission or somebodies parents dated at byu or their ancestors were in the same handcart company.
3)three words: THE AWKWARD GAME.
4) general conference. there is nothing more amazing than modern-day revelation. epecially when modern-day revelation is accompanied by an excuse to spend all day in your pj's and kick scott's trash at Settler's of Caatan.

All Good Things....

Ben and Heath getting close. I love the 311ers!

Last halloween for the ward party. We were
old ladies.

I love everything that amber and I do together.

The old saying keeps coming to mind over these past few days. Although i am super excited to get this semester over and done with, i am less then willing to have to say goodbye to my rexburg family. Amber, Terren, and I have been roommates for the 2 greatest semesters EVER and it is so hard to believe that they will be off track next semester. On top of that i am one semester away from graduation! what happened to college?!? It seems like just yesterday I was saying goodbye to 2 of my best friends , Bryan Blacker and Steven Brewer, as they left to spend 2 years to serve the Lord in Argentina and Spain. They will both be returning home in August and i will be a college graduate! What the poo!
I think that is the hardest part of life changing, not being able to see the people you love whenever you want. When my friends turned 19 I had to say goodbye to them as they left on there missions. When i got accepted to byui i had to say goodbye to my family and my best friend sarah. When last summer semester ended brandilyn and pathetically cried because, well i dont really know. I guess the awesomeness of us living together ending was pretty sad. Anywho, Amber and Terren are leaving and I'm graduating soon and will be leaving everyone I love up here. What the poo! i just want to bring everyone with me everywhere! it would be me and this weird caravan of people i aquire through life.
well, despite the sadness of not being able to laugh at mustard commercials with amber, eating with brandilyn, or finding blaine asleep on my couch for the rest of my life I have so much to look forward too! Bryan comes home in 131 days, I get to go see Jack's Mannequin in a week, Terren and i get to have a mini road trip to SLC, i get to hang with my family for a week, and i get to start working on my misson papers soon!!! i am so so SO excited to get ready to spend a year and a half serving the Lord on a mission for Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints! I can't wait to work like i've never worked in my life!
