Four Seasons!

So it is super cold here in the valley! Well it's super cold to me, I must admit I didn't think that it would get this cold so fast and that it would snow this early. Although the mountains are very beautiful with snow on them; so now it looks as if we are surrounded by snow, which is pretty neat looking. The seasons have been putting on a wonderful show for me in the valley. Spring was nice and wet but it also got warm, summer was hot and it was nice to get out of the city as often as I did, and go up in the mountains. Now we have fall and the leaves changed colors, not just in the mountains but here in the valley as well. Yesterday we got our first snow fall, and it's super cold to me but it looks awesome well the mountains look awesome!

Tomorrow I have a test, then I am super excited to go to the temple. Well I should be studying for my test instead of blogging. The only thing that I am not excited for is work, but got to get money some how. I am also going to a show Friday night and Saturday night, which should be fun; so I can't wait!

So other than it being super cold here, I love that we have the four seasons in Utah. There are some movies that I want to go and see like Where the Wild Things Are, and I want to get the last book of the Leven Thumps series. I need to finish the last book in the Prelude to Glory series I have just 100 pages left. Then I think I will start reading the last book in the Harry Potter series and finish the Hobbit as well. I want to watch Arsenic and Old Lace again before Halloween is over. I love that movie it makes me laugh a lot!

Smaller Things!

Ok so October is almost over I am sad to see it go, because the sun is going to start setting much earlier than it has been. But at least this year we had a good fall; all of the trees have been changing color especially in the valley which has been awesome.

I am still loving my institute class on Tuesday nights. Brother Wilcox is such an amazing teacher I am learning so much about the book of Revelation. I am also reading the book of Matthew in the bible and it is so cool to read it after I have been to Israel because now that I have been to Israel the stories are a little more clear. School is good I don't like going and taking notes but I am doing well on the homework and tests. So it makes me happy that I am not failing.

Church is good too! Especially Relief Society and Sunday school for some reason lately I have been getting a lot out the lessons! I guess it's because when I comment I am able to focus more on what the teacher is trying to get across. Sacrament meeting has been good as well, fast Sundays have been really good lately; and this month and last month we have has some really good talks. I have still been going to the Temple every week which has been awesome I am loving it. The Temple is amazing!!!!!!!!!!!

FHE activities have been fun as well this Monday we went to a corn maze and that was an adventure! Also last Saturday I went to the ward activity and that was a lot of fun; and then I went with April to the Jesters Royal and that was super fun, I laughed so much that my face was hurting by the end of the night it was really good! Also it has been fun getting to know people that are new to the ward. I really do like all the people that are in my ward!

When I went to do my visiting teaching today I decided that I was going to walk to her house, instead of driving; cause it wasn't too long of a walk to take, and walking is very good exercise! But as I was walking down the street that my grandparents used to live; I couldn't help but notice how small the yards and houses seemed now that I am older. I don't know why but when I was younger every yard seemed so huge, well when your smaller things seem a lot bigger. It did make me a little sad I guess because it also felt different. But it was nice to get out of the house and take a walk; and to walk through the leaves that have fallen off of the tress and hear the leaves crunch under my feet; and smell the crisp cool clean air, and to feel that Fall has come to the valley.

October!!

So last Monday we had sports night for FHE it was fun, I didn't play any sports, I just chatted with people. Then I had institute on Tuesday and school; school was alright I just had to take notes. Institute was fun though. Then went to work for the rest of the week it was also fall break for school, so no school on Thursday or Friday yay! Then Saturday was conference and it was awesome I got tickets for the afternoon Saturday session it was awesome!! Then I went with my two sisters and had girls night out we went to the Pie and then we went shopping and then we watched Fame. Fame was a really good show I loved it! Then Sunday watched conference both sessions, again it was amazing!

Then my mom came home from Disney Land and told us about her trip and then we went over to my aunts house for my cousins birthday then off to work I went! Tonight for FHE we were going to go to the capital and take a tour but then we stayed at the institute and played a game and then had ice cream. Tomorrow I have institute class it should be good. I also have a test this week I hope I do alright! I did go to the temple last Friday that was awesome, I wanted to go on Thursday but I woke up too late and so I couldn't go.

So it's finally October I love that it's October, I thought September would never end. I love that the air smells crisp and clean. In the valley we had some awesome thunderstorms and it snowed in the mountains. Fall and winter are going to be awesome except for the sun going down at 5pm!! Well I guess that's all that has happened since I last posted.
