Have I been busy

"Nowhere else, save in the home, is there greater opportunity to practice and to educate in the principles of integrity."

It has been a long time and many things have happened during this time. I have enjoyed this semester. I have gotten to do many new things. I have gone tubing for the first time and wow am I sore. It is so worth the pain! Later that day I went to a Rodeo. It was really cool and nice to see cowboys. I have seen Maleficent, How to Train Your Dragon 2, and the new X-Men: Days of Future Past. They all were really good and enjoyed them immensely. For the X-Men movie, it was a date. I actually had to ask the guy out. So that was nerve racking. Let me just say that I understand why boys have a difficult time asking out girls. No one wants to be rejected. The date was fun and afterward we talked for awhile. I shed one tear during How to Train Your Dragon 2. Maleficent was really, really good.

Speaking of dates I went on a double date. We went swing dancing and I had a good time. My parents sent me my bike and now I bike a lot of places and in style, because the bike that I was borrowing before had a baby-seat on the back, and everyone would joke about it. I would too so.

My friend from home got back from his mission this month. I haven't seen him yet, but I can't wait. It will be great, I just know that it will be. Also my cousin is getting ready to leave on his mission and I know that I will miss him terribly for two years, but I am very excited for him.

This week is going to be fun as well. This Wednesday, a group of us are dressing up in the 50s and going swing dancing. Then this Saturday, I am going to see Seven Brides for Seven Brothers as a play. I love that movie. I don't care what anyone says. It is great and I love it. So I am excited for that. And whatever pops up this week that will be fun.  That is pretty much all that I can think of right now, because I am really tired. So until next time.

Blessings

"Integrity without knowledge is weak and useless, and knowledge without integrity is dangerous and dreadful."

I have been very blessed. My father, a year and four months ago, was diagnosed with cancer. While it was hard, I am grateful for all that I have learned about myself during this trail and the blessing that Heavenly Father gave me and my family. I am thankful for the opportunity to go to college and to learn. For the people that I have met and have become friends with, my roommates and family. I am thankful for the scriptures so that I can learn about Heavenly Father and his son, Jesus Christ. I am thankful that I have the companionship of the Holy Ghost and thankful for the promptings that I receive.

I am having a blast here at college and love spending time with my roommate and friends. They are awesome and great people. Even though it is midterms this week, I can scarcely believe that we are halfway through the semester. I hope that will have good grades after this week. And that I will do well on my Plant Science midterm.

Well that is all for now. Till next time.
