I had so much fun halloween night. I got to go to the Halloween Concert with Sara, Emily, and Megan! The theme was Pirates of the Caribbean and Pirates of Penzance. The Orchestra played songs from Pirates of the Caribbean and the Men's Choir sang excerpts from Pirates of Penzance. It was very impressive. After the concert we went back to 107 for games and candy. It was perfect.

Only in Rexburg






A couple of weeks ago I got to go to the visitor's center in Idaho Falls and watch the Joseph Smith movie with some of my friends, it was a lot of fun. As we are driving (Emily was driving) we see red and blue lights flashing behind us. Emily pulls over so that they could pass us; we knew we hadn't done anything wrong. To our surprise he pulled up right behind us came to the window and informed us that our headlight was out. I didn't know if I could be ticket for that so I threw on my southern accent and began apologizing. He asked if my dad was in the military (he saw the USAA insurance) I am pretty sure it only helped me, thanks Grandpa :) He asked what we had been doing that night. I told of our wonderfully peaceful evening and hoped he was mormon and think "wow what great kids, I'll let them go" sure enough he said "make sure to get one of your F.H.E. brothers to fix that for you" Only in Rexburg. . . .and maybe Provo

General Conference!

General Conference Weekend was a blast! Let's start from the beginning. Before we went off to college, Chris asked if I wanted to go to a couple of sessions of Conference. (Thanks Brother Dean) I thought "hm that'd be fun, sure" So we got two other girls that were going to Salt Lake and split the gas four ways, now all that was missing was . . . . my license!!! So Chris drove us all to Utah and back and I was co-pilot :) Catherine and Richard were so nice to let me stay with them. The past couple of times I stayed with them they have taught me to love telemundo. . . but we'll save that for another post. I got to see Erika, Danny and Kenny as well. Saturday night Erika came with me to drop off Chris and Kenny in Sandy so they could take the Tracks to the Conference Center for Priesthood Session. After Sunday Morning Session and Orange Rolls Chris and I headed to The Sunday Afternoon Session at the Conference Center! The session was awesome and the choir was unreal. I am so grateful to have had that opportunity!
