Jan 30-Feb 5

You know, when there are donuts at FHE, I will always be there. 

But really, I do love FHE and the bonding it helps initiate.

Sometimes you need a pick me up, even at 9am. So Jonzzey's is there to save the day! Lemon poppy seed muffins and salted caramel hot chocolate are two of the greatest things of my life. 

Just look at her cute little body. Man I love these kids.

AH!

So Alley wrote me a whole bunch of "Open When" letters before she left on her mission. I opened one Thursday night that said "Open when you need a laugh." These jokes had me dying of laughter!!

We went and took some pictures after classes on Friday. This is Chalae and Sarah. They are pretty great.

This weekend was SVU Idol. Oh what an adventure. Friday was the first night and there were 10 contestants then narrowed down to 5 for the next night. After SVU Idol we went to a bonfire one of our friends was having at his house. There were a ton of people there! The only problem was that it was freezing, but then you stood by the huge fire and it was way to hot. There was no in between. It became pretty comical. 

It was an open house weekend though which is the bane of all RA's existence. But at the bonfire we were joking around with some of the track recruits. They were hysterical!

Saturday I worked more on the puzzle that I started the night before. I can't get anything done because I just want to finish it! I love it!! 

One thing I love about my school is all the nature. I always walk home and find a friend.

We went to a tai restaurant in Lexington for one of my girls birthday. It was delicious!! And they gave us free coconut ice cream. 

 

The best part of the second night of SVU idol, was the Elvis impersonator we hired to entertained us while decisions were made and votes tallied. He's from Lynchburg and won first place in an Elvis impersonator competition in Nashville. He was the best thing ever!

I love people. And I love this quote about people.

Sunday we had a wonderful Sacrament Meeting. I bore my testimony on Hardheartedness. All through 1 Nephi it repeats over and over again that Lamen and Lemuel were hardhearted. I started to think more about this. As humans I think we are all hardhearted. It's way easier to be hardhearted than it is to keep pressing forward sometimes. But this gospel is built on actions. We READ, PRAY, LISTEN, FAST, PAY tithing. Everything is an action. As we continually do these things we can overcome our hardheartedness.
