We hit the middle of the semester.
CRAZY!
It felt like September flew, and October is taking forever.
I shared this picture on Instagram.
My friend Anna Taylor gave me the journal in the middle that says "Today is my Greatest adventure". The semester has consisted of tons of reading, studying, relief society, laughs, art, autumn, stress, confusion, and joy. I needed the reminder that everyday is a great adventure! What a blessing that is!
I need to make that my daily moto:
Today is an adventure :)
Someone put a carved pumpkin by the stairs going down to the lofts. It was there for a few days before it got smashed and than someone put this little sign.
I arrived back from work to this pretty sight! Virginia's state saying is "Virginia is for lovers." I'm pretty positive its that because its impossible not to fall in love with it everyday.
I love leaves. I think I say it every year. Crunching leaves are honestly some of the few of my favorite things.
Like seriously. Look at those clouds and the light streaming on those trees.
Friday was our fall choir concert! I really enjoyed the songs we sang this semester. After the concert Travis was very kind to give me a blessing. A little bit ago I sat and talked to Jessica Rasmussen for over two hours. We talked about some of the things that were stressing me out, and she narrowed it down to three categories. As Travis gave me the blessing he addressed all three of those things. I hadn't told him anything.
Everyone, THE PRIESTHOOD IS SO REAL.

We all headed to Cook out after. I believe this was my first time there all semester! I know! Its crazy! I am very grateful for everyone in this picture and how they consistently make me laugh.
Saturday my boss took us out to Lunch because we passed with zero violations on one of our Inspections. We went to this lovely restaurant in Lexington and the food was delicious! We than paraded around Lexington.
That night we went to the Volleyball game and than to go hear the Nashville Tribute Band. I love them! They have beautiful albums dedicated to Joseph Smith, Missionary work, and Jesus Christ. It was wonderful hearing them sing and testify of Jesus Christ.
Than it was Homecoming! (Saturday was a crazy day!) Sarah and I almost didn't go to the dance, but we did and it turned out to be a lot of fun! They split it up into different decades. We hung out in the 80s and 90s the whole time. It was a blast!
Sunday was good! The Nashville Tribute band performed again that night. At one point they had all the missionaries that listened to their album on their mission come up and sing. They did this last time they were here and I was hoping they would do it again. Many tears were shed. It was awesome1
I saw a quote this week that said:
"If you find yourself a bit irritated or overwhelmed, It's a sign that you're spending less time with God and more time with this world."
That really hit me. I felt like I was feeling very overwhelmed and short with people. But I also realized that yes. I was slacking on my scripture study and my time I was spending with my Heavenly Father. Its something that is so simple which makes it so easy not to do. But is so soo SO important. I am working on evaluating where my time is being spent and how to improve the time spent with my Heavenly Father and Redeemer Jesus Christ.
