Life is Wonderful!

I had such a good week last week. I got to spend time visiting with friends. On Wed. I met my friend, Morgan, for lunch at Pizza Hut. It was nice to just sit and visit (and we both love pizza!).

Then, Thurs. night, I got tickets for my friends and I to see the special showing of Twilight and then the midnight showing of New Moon. It was a blast! New Moon was my favorite book in the series and I've always loved Jacob, so I was in heaven. And I definitely like Taylor, the the guy that plays Jacob. He looks just like I imagined him.

Everyone repeat after me: "I love Jacob."

On Sat. I spent the day in Baton Rouge with Barbara. We did a temple session and then we went to lunch at Jason's Deli. Has anyone eaten there? It was so yummy! Then, since neither of us had to rush home to work on lessons (Barbara's a school teacher and they have this whole week off and I don't have Seminary, since the kids don't have school) we stayed and went shopping. It was a nice, relaxing day.

Couple more days and I'm flying to Utah...I can't wait to see everyone!

Life...

Hello my friends, I hope life is treating you all well. It's been a couple of weeks since I posted...eventful weeks for me, my family, and my friends.

First, I found out Sarah, my roommate from Utah State, is having a baby! She found out this week she's having a boy, Yeah :-) Congrats, Sarah!

Second, Ticia, my roommate from BYU-Idaho, got engaged to Rob...Congratulations to both of you!

Other, not so great news...Nicole broke up with her fiancee, M broke up with his girlfriend, and I just found out this morning that my friend Mary's, boyfriend died yesterday. Grant's been battling leukemia, and hasn't been doing well the past month. He's only 20, so young...I'm sad and I'll miss him, but I take comfort in knowing that he's not suffering anymore.

Other events in my life:




Mary made this mummy cake for Halloween and unfortunately, by the time I saw it, all that was left was the head. But, she did an amazing job and hopes to start her own cake business.
On Halloween, I just stayed in and watched movies. It was a nice break.

I thought this past weekend was going to be relaxing too, but, when I got home from work Friday night, I had three messages on my phone, asking if I could pitch in and help out...First, our library had their annual Bayou Book sale at the Community Center in the park. I went and helped out for a couple of hours on Sat. (after "shopping" for 2 hours!) It was fun and we made over $9,000 dollars.


Then, we had another Baptism at the Branch and the Franklin Elders asked if I would give a talk on baptism. Finally, Sheri asked if I would do Sharing Time in Primary on Sunday, because she was out of town.

Amazingly enough, I got everything accomplished and it all worked out okay :-)
