Update!

There is a lot going on in my life right now. So I'll tell you all about it and I have a funny story about fries... :D

Mission Call
Winter semester ended over a week ago and I went home on Wednesday the 21st and turn my mission papers in on Thursday the 22nd! It's crazy that it's already here! I'm so excited though... I just found out last night that I'll be getting my call next week on Wednesday most likely, and if not then on Thursday. I'm going back to California to open it, sorry An... sorry Lynne. :D I still love you and you will be on the phone when I open it. I'm excited to find out where and when I'm going, because I just had a dream last night that I got called to the Uruguay Mission, yeah that's Ryan's mission, and for April 7th. hmmm.... In my dream that was really soon but I thought about it this morning and it very well could have been for next year. but that would be crazy! We don't want that.

Liberty Square
I just moved from Heleman Halls to Liberty Square for Spring Term and I'm very glad I did. I love living in an apartment so much better than living in a room... a small room. haha my room here is bigger and then I have a bathroom, living room, kitchen, and even a small hallway. haha Yeah it's great. made myself some eggs this morning for breakfast. My roommates are pretty cool guys. We seem to get along great.

Family
Can I tell you how much I LOVE that my parents come up so often. They might as well live here. haha Except I really love California. A lot! I've spent a lot of time with my sisters and my brother-in-laws and my mom this past week. It's great. I LOVE OUR FAMILY!

Fry Story
We went to Smash Burger for lunch yesterday and when we walked in an older couple was leaving. They left a little bit of fries in their fry basket on the table so I dared Andrea to eat one. She didn't even respond but instead dared me to... so I did. hahaha The end. :D

Baby Sitting Cadence

Here she is, walking all over the house. Makes it a little harder to babysit when she starts running away from you. ...but it makes it more fun. :D She's so cute!

All Grown Up

It's sometimes weird to think that I'm in college. I often felt growing up that all my siblings would grow up and I would always stay young. I guess it's still true... they're just ancient now, and I'm a little older, but still young compared to them. Recently though I've felt like I'm in college because I'm doing projects and learning things you would never learn in high school. I just finished two projects that I never would have thought about doing in high school. One we made a solar power water heater, and the other I designed a Las Vegas Hotel using a 3D modeling computer program called AutoCAD. These projects are legit! So yeah, when you start doing things you would never do in high school, that's when you realize you're in COLLEGE!!!

Slightly Embarrassing... Ridiculously Funny!

My parents came up to Utah for conference this past weekend and we went to dinner of course! So we're walking into Cheesecake Factory to get cheesecake, naturally, and we're crossing the road right in front of the restaurant. Before we start crossing we see this car coming and we can tell by how fast it was going that it wanted to get passed before we crossed. So we let it pass by but only enough so that we can go right behind it... you know like we all do... that way we don't have to stop and wait till it passes. So I time it just right so I don't have to slow down too much when all of the sudden this car SLAMS on its brakes, comes to a dead stop and I slam right into the side of the car! ...yeah, I hit a car. WITH MY BODY!!! and of course Andrea saw it, my mom saw it, Lynne saw it and Ryan saw it. Andrea was laughing so hard that she might as well have been rolling on the ground laughing, and so of course that made me laugh. needless to say, we ALL got a good laugh.
And I have no idea whether the car did this on purpose to make me run into it or not, but if it did, they are my new favorite people.
