A Break From Reality

April 8, 2012
It's been a long week but it's been so much fun! I think the best way to sum it up is that I love my family. And I'm most definitely looking forward to 12 days from now when I will be back in WA with my immediate family. We have had gorgeous weather the past couple weeks here in Provo (minus the completely shocking snow storm today) and I just can't get my mind off of summer. This semester has flown by and I'm excited for a break! The end of a semester is definitely a bittersweet kind of feeling. So excited to come home, but sad to say so many goodbyes.

Anyways...I have LOVED hanging out with Kenz this week and having her around and enjoying college life with me. This weekend we enjoyed conference and everything that it encompasses: great talks, a wonderful spirit, sleeping in, spending time with family, lounging around, and eating a lot of junk food. Monday was a pretty chill day, nothing too exciting and I still had to go to class, because unfortunately, I'm not on vacation.

Tuesday, we went to my New Testament class and then headed over to UVU where Kenz will be going to in the fall. I'm so excited that she's gonna be down here with me! She's going to be involved in leadership and has all the hook-ups. Thanks Mikelle! We spent the night and watched the kids while Matt and Mikelle went to Hunger Games...best movie ever!


such cute kiddos!
Wednesday, after class I happened to see Aunt Marci, Ben, and Sarah. Ben decided to come with me to Matt and Mikelle's along with my friend Bryan. We spent the whole day there playing games...30 down, Corn Hole, Uno, Ticket to Ride. It's so fun to be with family and enjoy time together and it was definitely a plus to have 70 degree weather!


Ooo...I also had Bryan and Emily take the Color Code Test. It's fun to see what color your friends and family are and kind of explains how you interact with them.
Here's the link: colorcode.com. Find out what color you are!

On Thursday, Kenz went to New Testament with me because Brother Smith is so awesome! Plus this week was the perfect time to come because we just finished the reading and got to learn about the Resurrection! Then we met our friend Ben Pearson in the Cougareat for lunch. It was fun to see him and catch up. And a little bit later Keza stopped by. I loved seeing all of my friends that I haven't been around in a while. It was pretty nice that day as well and we went to play tennis with Greta, Alan, and Bryan. Now tennis is not one of my strong suits, especially given the fact that the other 4 played in high school, but I did well when it really mattered so that was exciting haha! When they least expected it, I actually hit the ball and scored some points! We finished the night off by watching We Bought a Zoo with Ben and Bryan while enjoying some spring funfetti cookies!

After a long day of class, we headed up to the new City Creek Mall in Salt Lake with all the fam. It is such a nice mall and it was fun to look around. It's times like these when I wish I was rich because I pretty much wanted everything in J. Crew. Ben and Sarah went on a hunt for the most expensive shoe in Nordstrom. Wanna take a guess? $1700. Yup, insane! The mall is super pretty and full of fountains and a stream running through the middle with flowers and trees. Oh, and I finally broke down and did it. I got my ears pierced! I was scared out of my mind and I had quite the audience. Plus, it kind of stung a lot because the lady got the gun stuck but all is well and now I can accessorize with some cute earrings! Sadly, I had to say goodbye. BUT not for long because I'll be home in two weeks!!! And I'll get to enjoy being around family all the time. I'm especially looking forward to Sunday game nights at Grandma's!
