Because I love my mom....

I'm posting on the blog. So here you go mom, love you!

I've decided that college is a love/hate relationship. I love my roommates, baking, meeting new people, boys, late nights, student wards, my apartment, football and all the other BYU sports, and having the opportunity to go to the most amazing university in the world (at least in my opinion). I dislike (hate is too strong of a word) midterms, grocery shopping, drama, boys, cleaning, and long days at the library. But I mostly just love college. Sophomore year is even better than I thought it would be. I knew that we would eventually make new friends (since all our boys are out serving LDS missions) but I didn't realize we would get to know such great people. Our ward is fantastic-every Sunday we leave church saying "that was the best Sacrament meeting ever". It just keeps getting better. I'm so lucky to have the opportunity to study abroad next semester in Jerusalem. I am so excited to go, especially because my best friend, Kaitlin, will be going with me. But it's going to be sad to leave this great ward! I'm so blessed. Here are some of the highlights from the last couple of months.


Our ward Halloween roller skating party with some of our first and best friends.

Totally out of my comfort zone but it was so much fun. The boys did a great job of staying in character all night and making Zoe and I feel more comfortable.

Dad came to Utah for business and I convinced him to come to Provo on Saturday. We went to lunch with some missionaries (sad we didn't get a picture) and he got to come to the football game! It was so much fun.
