Well comming back from a long vacation weekend and then having to prepare two weeks homework into one. I am prparing to leave this thursday for a 11 says.. YIPPIE, but I have to do double the work to get ready:( I realizede today that I am not going to Nebraska for Spring break:( I want to go so bad! SERIOUSLY!! I feel homesick! I miss the people! My mom is now is in charge of alternative spring break, so I am going to join her on that. We are going somewhere by seattle and participating in Habatat for humanity! I am really excieted! I wan to fly up there and spend sometime with a friend and then of course ride the bus home! Not sure if I can do that! I hope so, on a bus for like 24 hours with a break sleeping on a floor at either a gym or a church... not my idea of fun! BUt I think the bus ride would be so much fun!! Life is good! I hurt from the gym yeasterday!

HMMM CUTE BOY!

So that is the life of a college girl... so i am at my sisters (i seem to be here often!) but I normally will take the hour drive on sunday to go home! this week I decided to stay and go to my old singles ward. I went and really havn't been there for like 3 years.. new bishopric everything! but i recognized a lot of peeps! ANd this one guy (whom i asked the girl next to me his name earlier) came up to me and was like "Hey" i started to talk to him and then he asked "SO were you on the news this week" hmm what where the freak did that come from... i really wasn't. that was a little freaky, something clicked in my head I asked him if he went to the CES broadcast... that was the only TV i have been on lately. HE SAW AND RECOGNIZEED ME ON THERE!! wierd! but he is cute so I'll let him slide this time! At least he went! I really did know him when I was here before but couldn't remember his name! Well now I know... well see waht happens! I am going to an activity this friday at the ward!

My last companion in the mission field came home a few weeks ago! Sister Keddington and I served on the Lincoln University Singles Ward. I was able yesteday to go and hear her speak and then join family and friends at her house afterwards to have dinner! It was so good to see her! I have to go to bed but I want to write a little more about her and in impact she had on me and the rest of my mission!

I was able to sing at the BYU Marriott Center to sing for the CES Fireside where the Prophet, President Monson spoke! What a neat experience! I also ran into a friend of mine from Nebraska! I love Alli, she was in the UNL ward but is from Omaha! I miss NE! And I guess many people from NE saw me on the broadcast!

Here we are listening to instruction before the broadcast starts!

Here we are practicing! We all had to wear pastels! And the funny thing was.... the choirs directors lined us up and seated us up there, but they did not recognize that we were in the wrong places until about 150 people were already seated. So the alto and sopranos were on the wrong side and the tenors and the bass were switched too. Because of the lack of time, they had to keep us that way! I had to laugh when he cued the Altos thinking they were the sopranos..

Most of the family, there are some puking at the hotel and could not make it.

My Cute niece Allyson!

Awesome planes made this!

One of my favorite floats in the parade!

First of all HAPPY NEW YEAR! I had a really fun New Year! IT was spent in Disney Land with a few of my sisters. WE were all there for a family vacation! It was the first we had all gotten together and gone on a vacation since like 1986 and that really doesn't count because I was like one years old.... maybe not even that! A few of us flew in New Years eve and the rest flew in New Years DAy! My sister and I were dancing our hearts out, we actually got lost and ended up in this party, WHY not stay! Obviously we stayed out late and then we decided to go to the Rose Bowl Parade.... yea we had to be on the road by 4 am. My sister Jenn her husband Blair and I decided to not buy a hotel room for 2 1/2 hours so we all crammed into our rental SUV... a small one. I was freezing, but whatever! The Parade was AMAZING! No joke I LOVED IT! THe floats were spectacular! I loved all of the bands that marched! And I am looking forward to trying out for the marching band this fall! I posted some pictures of me, my family, disneyland.. you know the works! I really am not in a lot of pictures because I am the normally taking them! Well to sum up a fun trip, we had 28 of my immediate family and nearly 20 of us got the stomach FLU... YEp I was in the Hotel room for 2 days and then caught the plane to go home because I had school to get back to!
