Last Friday was the Father and Son's Camp Out. You know what that means...Girl's Night! My mom, Kenz, and I went out to dinner. Kenz had Panda Express and my mom and I had Five Guys and Fries. They have the coolest touch screen soda machines there! Then we went to Costco for some groceries and we got a frozen yogurt to share, yum! Then to Top Foods for more groceries. Kenz and I stayed in the car and took pictures haha! Then to Target for some new black heels. Love them! And then home to watch Hop. Kenz gets way too excited about how cute that little bunny is.
I love instrumental music so much! It's so relaxing and allows you to think. Piano music is the best, but I was listening to a movie soundtrack and it was just so much fun to listen to. I could listen to this kind of music all the time! It doesn't have to be up very loud and it's so wholesome compared to some of the other music you find out there. I just feel such a connection with it.
And that is the conclusion of my random thoughts and a little catching up of my past week. Happy Monday!
Then all day Saturday our family was getting ready for our Ward Conference Social. An Italian theme which means only one word: Spaghetti. Let me tell you, I've never seen so many noodles in my entire life! There was also Olive Garden salad, yummy bread sticks, raspberry Italian sodas, Italian music, scenery from Italy, a talent show, and a "Who Said That?" quote game. My mom was cutting up the onions at our house and we pretty much all died. Our eyes were burning so bad and it was not fun at all! In fact, my eyes are starting to tear up just thinking about it! All the Blackner kids helped make the Italian sodas and serve all the tables. Good times!
And then yesterday was Ward Conference. It was such a wonderful Sacrament Meeting. First the Bishop spoke and he referenced a devotional from Brad Wilcox that I was actually at last summer at BYU! An analogy he used about justice and grace and the atonement was practicing the piano. It hits close to home :) http://speeches.byu.edu/reader/reader.php?id=13436&x=55&y=10
Then the Stake President spoke and mentioned Bruce Hafen who wrote a fabulous book about the Atonement that I read called The Broken Heart. I also played the piano for the choir, an arrangement of I Know That My Redeemer Lives. I love it!
And then last night was Scripture Mastery! Pretty much my favorite part of seminary, but let me tell you, it's way more entertaining to participate than to watch. And as last year's Master Scriptorian, I want everyone to know that I still have it in me. My dad and I were saying the references to each other throughout the night. Nothing can compare to the fun and stress of finding those scriptures. It can be pretty intense sometimes. Especially when you know what it is, but just can't find it! My heart always gets beating so fast!
