So since i don't start classes till tommorrow, me and family decided to go to Salt Lake and just do whatever. We got there and went to the mall. It's huge and i loved it! My parents bought us some clothes and i definetly took advantage of that since i knew i wouldn't have them to buy me things for a while hahaha. Here is a picture of me and my sibs and some of our shopping bags!

We then walked to Temple Square. I was sooooo excited! I love it there and i haven't been there for a couple of years! The instant i saw the temple, i just got the warmest feeling! I love the feeling when I'm there. We went up and saw the Chirstus. I just love it there!

Some people say they have "the" temple they want to get married in. I want one but i really don't know. All temples are gorgeous, but when i was walking around the Salt Lake Temple, i just got the feeling that i want to get married in this temple!!! I love it!

                  I'm going here someday!!!!!

Today was fun to spend the day with my WHOLE family together. I'm gonna miss it a lot!

I love them and am so glad that we are sealed in the temple together forever! The blessings of the temple are amazing and i will not even consider marriage outside of the temple. I want to be married to my love forever and to my children so they can have the same blessing as i have, given to me by my parents!

See ya laters!

This Friday is my last day in the tri-cities! I'm leaving for Logan, Utah and am way excited! I'm excited for all of it! But on the down side, this week is sure gonna suck! Everyone keeps telling me that I'll meet new and better friends at college and that its so much more fun. I really believe that but....i still have people here who i love and care about that i find really hard to say goodbye to! The people here, i have know my whole life and grew up with. These are the people with who i have learned who i am. 18 years of memories were made here and its not something i can just up and leave so easily. I know I'm taking this harder than most people, but i just really gonna miss it here. This is my home, my Friends and family are my home. It's a big change that i know i need to do, but right now i just want to take the time to write about how much everyone here has meant to me. I have made some truly lasting friendships, I've had some adults in my life that have made a difference to me and have helped me so much, I've had some great guy friends who have been great examples to me of how i want my future husband to be like. I've had a great life! I know moving on to the next chapter will be even greater, but its just plain hard! I need to wear my pink cowboy boots that make me feel tough! haha

Last night i said my first "see ya laters", and it sucked! I can only imagine all the more i will say this week! I know that I'll see everyone again on holidays and stuff and i know I'm making this see like I'm leaving for my death bed! But i just take goodbyes really hard! Pulling away from their house i just started crying! (I cry a lot though!) It made me think of all the good memories i have had and then it got me thinking of how hard its gonna be to say goodbye to my best friend and then my family! hahaha i think too much sometimes! I've had a lot of great times here with some many people and am gonna miss them all, but i am excited for the new friends I'll make and the great times i will have and the many more memories I'll make. And its nice to know that your friends and family here will always care for you and will always be your friends that you'll get to see again!

Next time you hear from me, I'll be in my own apartment! Chyaaaa!

Relief Society

Today was my first official day in relief society. I thought i wasn't going to like it and want to go straight back to young women's, but surprisingly, i loved it. The women in that room love each other so much and it shows. Just sitting there i felt that love all around me. My mom was giving the lesson and it was about how the world has enough tough women, but needs more tender women. The lesson was amazing and the spirit in the room was overwhelming. I felt at home in there. Me and my mom had a tender moment in there. She bore her testimony and told me how much she was going to miss me when i leave because i was her best friend. It was sweet but hard to listen to. My family is everything to me and I'm going to miss them a lot. I just hope in my new relief society class in Utah i will feel the love and the feeling of family there. The good thing about having older women in relief society with you, the motherly love they show. I almost wish i would have started going going to relief society earlier.  Although i don't regret it because i was able to become closer to my young women leaders and the girls in there that i will miss a lot!
