My wonderful roommates!

School is going well and I am loving my ward and my apartment. At first I was a little apprehensive about living in the same place for a second year but it has turned out to be wonderful and I am grateful to be here. This week was Homecoming! The game was cold but a lot of fun. I just have to say that I love BYU! And these are my wonderful roommates...

A challenge to all the women...

So a couple of weeks ago my roommate Kristen and I decided to spend a little time memorizing The Relief Society Declaration. This has brought new meaning to Relief Society for me. It is a great reminder of what we are striving for and what we can work on. So my challenge to all of you is to memorize the declaration before Thanksgiving. Good Luck!

From TEMPLE SQUARE...
Caroline, Abbey, Eliza, Amy and I took the trax into Salt Lake on Saturday morning to attend General Conference. We stood in the standby line for about 45 minutes before we sent Amy and Abbey to try to get tickets. It only took about 10 minutes before they had four tickets and we were on our way in. I love going to Salt Lake for Conference and was glad that Caroline and Abbey came down.
After the morning session we got back on the trax and met Brandon, Lindsay, Gracie, Hillary, and Carter for lunch in Sandy. It was a great morning!
