temple square

SO we went to temple square this weekend and it was SO fun! i haven't been there during christmastime for a few years to see the lights so i was so excited when they announced that our ward was going there. first when we were loading the busses there were alot of people who had said that they were going to come and then didn't, so there was way extra seats. which meant that on the bus that us girls were on there was only 9 people! it was us five girls, the bishop and three others! that was a party. when we got there the first part was we got to watch the joseph smith video. OH my it was amazing, that video was great, wonderful, fantastic. i love joseph smith so much, i love that i have the same birthday as him, it makes me feel like we could be friends. after the video we went and had hot chocolate and donuts. HOWEVER at this point we were dying to go outside and play in the snow. so we hurried and ate and then went and we only had like a half hour to see everything! the lights were beautiful, i wish we had had more time to look at them all. i loved that on the reflection pond there were floating lights, that was exciting! they have a bunch of nativities set up around also that were fun to look at. soon enough the day was over and we had to go home! i got home and did a paper that was due that night at midnight...it feels wonderful to be done with it. it was due at 11:59 that night, any later and it wouldn't have counted, and well...i sent it at 11:55. that was cutting it close. BUT its done and good thing i turned it in on time because it was worth 300 points!
Ah so now i am off to do a facial, some of us girls are going to do it...fun! and then i am going to bed, relatively early! good news: i don't have an 8:00 class anymore! i get to sleep in an extra hour! what a wonderful feeling.

us girls, i love that jill and rachel are laughing, this picture makes me happy.
