Utah Utah Utah

I'm sitting here in Provo, Utah...procrastinating my scripture reading, but I felt like blogging would be more therapeutic right now. I have had quite the time out here! Yesterday I went to Salt Lake City and visited temple square. There they have two visitors' centers which are VERY interesting! Oh my goodness in the North Side Visitors' Center they have the most amazing stature of Jesus surrounded by the universe. It is so amazing and uplifting just seeing it. It completely verifies my faith. They also have a video on Heavenly Father's plans for our families which is very heartwarming and everyone should see it. In the southern center there is a model of the temple that shows the inside and a missionary explains some of the things that go on in the temple and why we do them.

The days before my friend and I went on a moon light ski lift which was extremely fun, but also extremely cold! It was funny because we actually saw someone we knew from Alabama! That was pretty cool. The next night we went to a neon skate event, and we went allll out! We made t-shirts, wore glow bracelets, did crazy makeup, and put neon paint on our arms! It was great good-clean fun. While I've been out here I have also met with my National Student Exchange advisor which was so great! She is the sweetest person alive, and had been so helpful throughout my exchange process. All in all it has been a great trip and everyone should visit Utah! 

Creepy Creepy Creepy

When working in retail a great deal of creepy things happen to you. If you have never worked in retail (or fast food, or people in general) you would be surprised at what people do. Aside from the creep factor retail does have its perks, such as a tremendous amount of people watching opportunities. But alas, the creep factor is still there, and with the holiday season in for swing (for retail anyway) the people and their oddities will be more and more prevalent. :/

On a good good good* note I have decided to get baptized! (Baptist family if you are reading this..I apologize that this hurts you, but it is what I want to do). I am very excited! It will be October 23. After that life can only go up and up and up! Though I know there will definitely be bumps in the road, I have an awesome family and great friends to lean on when that happens. (: I have invited almost everyone I know, except for the people I haven't told..but they will be invited. It is a frightening journey this life, but very necessary. As my grandmother says, "Earth is a classroom"…something like that anyway, you get the point. But I must sign out! Adieu!
