Hakuna Matata: It's about time...

Hello one and all!!

This past week has just been so crazy! I have had a million things to do including meetings and midterms which resulted in total exhaustion. I will spare you all the boring details… but basically, I have barely had time to breathe.

Thankfully, today I have some down time so I will fill you in on some highlights:

1. Last weekend, Melissa and I went to a ward service project. The weather was perfect with cloud cover and a little bit of rain. We spent a lot of time doing yard work and then went swimming afterwards. That evening, we went to a formal dance at the Cannon. It was actually pretty fun. We sure love to awkward dance!

Sarah and I...twinning it up!

2. For FHE this past Monday, we played capture the flag and it was really fun! The competition got pretty intense but we had a great time.

3. This Friday Sarah and I had a much needed girl’s night with Melissa and Elise. We went out to get some real, authentic Mexican food and it was so yummy! Then we went to the mall and did some shopping and got ice cream at Sub Zero which is pretty much amazing. After a small dance party, we called it a night. I love those girls and have no idea what I would do without them!!

4. Saturday, my family flew in to visit! It was wonderful to see them all again! We had dinner together and enjoyed each other’s company. I’ve missed them so much!

5. Sunday we all went to church together and had a family dinner. The food was great and the company was even better.

I love my siblings!

6. Monday night we had a joint birthday party for my cousins and aunts. We played tons of games and had some great food!

Playing some crazy croquet!

7. Tuesday was Pioneer Day! For those of you who are foreign to Utah, Pioneer Day is a commemoration of the entry of Brigham Young and the first group of Mormon pioneers into Utah’s Salt Lake Valley in 1847. It is a HUGE deal here and everything on campus shuts down to celebrate. Sarah and I went to a ward activity in the morning, and then met up with my family to go rafting down the Provo River. It was a TOTAL blast! I may or may not have fallen into the icy cold water on accident… but that’s not important. :)
