Bowling with the girls, and the last day of school

Yesterday, I took 2 finals. Each one was for my each lab that I had taken this semester. After my chemistry final the lab teacher told us to clean out our desks. What?! Are we really done now?! Crazy... I cleaned out my lab desk. It was a bitter sweet moment. Bitter in the fact that I will be leaving BYU to go on to another chapter in my life called the internship, and sweet in thinking that I will be graduating soon. I will be a college graduate! I never really thought that day would come.
Well, to celebrate two of my friends from my major wanted to go bowling. We were able to get a free game because we were students and you are able to get one free game a semester. It was a lot of fun! I broke 100 my first game, and then kind of only got 80 my second game. I can honestly say I am better at Wii sports bowling then real bowling. Here are some pictures. The lighting was weird because they had the black lights on for the last day of bowling classes.

 Our names for bowling. We thought it would be fun to have cool names.
 Ashlee was romantically attached to her ball...jk. She bowled really well!
Just being silly

Something to think about...

So, today was kind of an interesting day. When I was walking up to school from my car, a car ALMOST hit me! The driver was going super fast, and luckily, I wasn't crossing the street yet. A car in the other lane had stopped for me to let me cross the street, the other car was approaching the intersection, and I guess they didn't see me because, well, they drove right on past! Then I thought about it, what if I hadn't paid attention to that car and got hit... Hmm...interesting to think about.
Then another weird thing happened. After my parasitology lab, I went down to the computer lab to print off some stuff so I could study for my tests that are coming up. I left all of my school stuff and car keys with my friend Ashlee, just so I didn't have to carry them to the computer lab. The only thing I had was my cell phone. So, I was getting on the elevator to go up to study, and the elevator suddenly stopped between floors. Thinking to myself, "well, this is unusual." I waited for about 20 seconds, and the elevator just started to move again. I got off on the floor that I wanted to, and thought...what if I really had be stuck in an elevator? What in the world would I do?
Just something to think about...

Honeymoon pictures

So, Blake wanted to edit our honeymoon pictures, but I think he forgot. I am putting some of them on here, just so people can know we did go on a honeymoon, and we did have fun! LOL. For those of you who didn't know or hear...we went to Disneyland on our honeymoon! It was a blast! And we were able to visit Hollywood (not a fan) and San Diego! Enjoy!

The temple was under construction, but we were still able to do a session!

Turtles!

Penguins!

The Hoppers with Hopper the grasshopper

Bride and Groom

My favorite ride as a child. Dumbo!

CTR 4

I've been trying to play catch up with my blog, but whenever I'm not next to a computer I remember something to say. HA! Such is life. Anyways...Blake and I got a new calling in.....August....ha! We are the new CTR 4 teachers! We have two boys and one girl. All of them are so cute and have the attention span of about 3 seconds. It's really fun to teach them because you can really see how smart 4 year olds are about the gospel. They absolutely love to learn, and get excited about primary! It's one of the hardest callings I have ever had, but I love being able to teach them! We have the primary program coming up on Sunday...I'm excited to have the kids in primary show off!

Meant to be

So, a month or so ago, I was super sick for a couple of days and didn't really want to do anything. Sunday of course fell into one of those days, and I couldn't go to church. Blake, however, needed to go up to SLC to take some pictures for his photo class and needed me to go with him. He also told me that Paul and Phillip were also coming. "Oh dear...," I thought "...if they fight, talk, act up in any way I will make Blake pull over and make them walk home even if we are in Sandy." (I didn't say this out loud at all). Remember, I wasn't feeling well at all! So, we go up to SLC, and the twins were great. They didn't fight, they listened whenever we needed them to listen to, and they were actually really pleasant. They normally are in the car, but you know...teenagers, you just never know what to expect. Then the drive home was really good as well. Overall, a very good experience besides the fact that I wanted to just lay down and go to sleep the whole time. After we took the twins home, I mentioned to Blake that the twins were really well behaved and maybe we should take them more places with us. Blake then told me that he had talked to them before they came out into the car. I guess they had been having little tiffs with the family, and Blake didn't want them to bug me, so he told them, "If you fight, talk, act up in any way I will pull over the car and make both of you walk home even if we are in Sandy." Our marriage was just meant to be. Blake can now read my thoughts. LOL.

Gianna Jessen Abortion Survivor in Australia Part 2

Here is the second part of her speech

Gianna Jessen Abortion Survivor in Australia Part 1

Many of you may have already heard about Gianna Jessen the saline abortion survivor. Her parent's decided on an abortion when her mom was 7 1/2 month pregnant. Let's just say the abortion failed. I'd rather have her tell the story, instead of me recaping it. The movies together are about 16 minutes long, but I hope you watch both of them. She is truly inspiring.
