Well I talked to Ally today and she asked me to blog for her. So here it goes! Well I went home for Christmas and shared some wonderful and hard times with my family. I wouldn't trade it for ANYTHING. Once I returned to Utah I drove in a snowstorm through Sardine Canyon caused me to break down crying. I think the snow is absolutely beautiful, but I can't handle it. There is too much snow! I moved into a new room this semester with one of my neighbors from last semester. We are pretty much inseparable. We are working together over the summer and I am so glad that I have her as a close confidant and I am grateful for the wonderful example that she sets. I am still single and still loving it (well sometimes). This weekend my roommate and I went to Huntington Beach, CA; Santa Clarita,CA; and Valencia, CA for a business trip. Our manger met us there which was awesome because we miss her a lot. While in California I learned to surf, I mean legitimately get up on the board and ride the waves all the way in! After surfing in Huntington Beach we went to Valencia to stay the night. We spent the next day in Six Flags and that night hot tubbing. It was probably the most relieving trip that I have had in quite some time. It allowed me to reflect on some of the problems that I have been holding on to for way too long. It helped me to realize what is really important and how to put the little meaningless things aside. Nichole set a wonderful example for me on how to do the important things first and that just because things are good to do, it doesn't mean they are the best things.
I am so grateful for this gospel and for those who are strong enough and have enough faith to teach others. I have been taught so much over the years and I just want to thank all those who have helped me to develop into who I am today.
1. The missionaries
2. My momma
3. My brothers
4. My Bishops, teachers, and youth leaders
5. My EFY counselors
6. The General Authorities
7.My supportive friends who never challenged my standards, but lifted me up and taught me to be better.

Thank you! I was so sad tonight when I heard about President Hinckley. It made me think of all my girls and our discussions on the gospel. It was so great talking to you...THANKS for blogging! I miss you!
