Conference!

Ok, so because I suck at updating this thing I decided to take some time and blog about some important events from this past semester. I should probably wait three more weeks 'til I'm done with my first year of nursing school (yeehawww!). But, I'm bored right now. So here it goes :) I went up to Conference in October with some awesome amigos. We had a ton of fun! We left Thursday morning, and when we got there I accompanied a friend to a mission reunion. It was fun to meet new people, but I was definitely excited to hit the sack after driving almost the whole way and not much sleep the night before.

Friday we had lunch at Rumbi's, which is yummy! Sweet potato fries take a little getting used to, but I liked them.

After lunch, we drove up Provo Canyon and hiked up to Bridal Veil Falls. Beautiful place! My friend had directed us on how to get there, and said that it was a simple trail consisting of fairly flat switchbacks to the top. Easily done in flip flops. I guess if we would have been able to follow the real trail on the way up it would have been so... However, we did make it safely!

I def win the flexing contest!

See, hear, speak NO evil!

Isn't it beautiful?

After the hike, we got some more food and ice cream at some place I had never been before. And I still don't remember the name. We went back to my friend's apartment to relax, and then went out to a party. By then we were super tired. My wonderful aunt who was out of town let us use her home for the weekend. So we went back and crashed!

We woke up early Saturday morning and headed to SLC. We had tickets for the Saturday AM session of Conference. It was wonderful! Totally worth it. We ended up seeing the PM session in the JSMB. Again, so good. The weather was beautiful and we ended up hanging out on the grounds taking pics and relaxing in the cool grass. The flowers were so colorful and bright!

For some reason my GPS was being mean and wasn't working. So we got lost trying to find a certain store, and ended up finding it half an hour after closing time. Sad. However, we did make it to the highway and back home safely. For Dinner = Texas Roadhouse!!!! And yes, of course we EACH asked for our OWN box of to-go rolls, complete with the cinnamon butter. Delicious treat for the long drive home.

After dinner, I met up with some cousins and their friends to hang out. It had been almost 3 years since I had last seen them. WAY too long! However, I really missed seeing Jillyn and Sarah, who are currently serving missions. Next year they'll both be home, so it'll be great. We had fun together!

The AWESOME group of people

Sunday we watched the AM session in our pj's. I caught Allie and Meghan snoozing a few times... But didn't have my camera on my to prove it. We made our way out around 1 and listened to the PM session on the radio. Its not fun to do that. The static alone is enough to distract, the thunderstorms we ran into didn't help! We had a lot of fun. And I'm soooo happy we all could pull a last minute trip up there!

April 2011, we are excited for you! :)
