Conference!

I was so excited to have the opportunity to go to Salt Lake this spring for General Conference! I love the feeling of all those Mormons together in one place, ready to hear the Prophet speak! We drove up from Santa Barbara all through the night and arrived in SLC about 9 am. I took some of our friends for a little tour of Temple Square....

Then there was the mission reunion! It was amazing to see so many of my companions and friends from the mission. The best part of the night was when we got to sing Jerusalem, our mission song. It was awesome!

The following day was full of conference and luckily we had tickets to see one of the sessions. It was crazy trying to meet up with all the people that I needed to see there. I got to see friends from home, Park City, the mission, cousins from all over the country and I even ran into a few people from Santa Barbara!

We took some of our friends from Santa Barbara to Park City to see snow... why they liked the snow so much is beyond me! It was freezing!!!

The trip home was another long road trip but it was a lot of fun, we goofed around and ate lots of junk food. We got to see the St. George Temple too and, well have a look....

Spring 2010 {Friends come to visit}

Spring Break was such a blast! In fact I am sort of getting 2 spring breaks. First, my friends Devin, Alex, and Jeanette came from Utah and this weekend I am going to General Conference for my break. I was so excited to see my friends from Utah! I spent so much time with them last summer and I really missed them when I moved to Santa Barbara. Luckily I live in a very desirable vacations spot and it's fairly inexpensive to get here (hint hint). Devin and Jeanette drove down on Wednesday and Alex joined us on friday when he finished working in Simi Valley. Let's just say we had a blast!!! There was the day of many beaches...

The trip to LA was amazing!! I love LA and we always have so much fun there but this trip was especially fun. We ate the most fantastic hot dogs at a world famous hot dog stand called Pinks. Let's just say you haven't eaten a hot dog till you've had one of these!

There was shopping, ice cream sandwiches and a trip out to Hollywood to see the Walk of Fame....

Saturday was another long day of relaxing at the beach, enjoying the food of Santa Barbara and just bonding as friends...

Hogwarts Castle!

The new clothes we all bought in LA...

I had so much fun this weekend and was sad to see my friends go but glad for all the great memories we created together!

I'm New Here!

I decided to start a blog about 4 months ago. I signed up and that was about it. I haven't got a clue what to do or how to make it look rad but I am going to give it a go. I'm going to post things that I do, people I see and I think I will start documenting crafts I do to.... Yeah I am random but that's sort of my trademark. I love adventures and thrive when life is a crazy ball of friends, travel, work and school. I live for the beach! I love that I can go to school and work in Santa Barbara and I get to see the beach every day. Above all the things in my life I love my Savior. I love knowing what I know and sharing it with others. I had the opportunity to serve a mission in the England London South Mission and returned one year ago. I can't believe how much has happened since then and I hope to document the adventures of the coming year here on my very own blog. So, here it goes....
