timpanogos temple trip!

Friday was fun, which meant that I stayed up late and didn't blog. Sorry! So here's the catch-up for yesterday and today.

Friday: it snowed a little bit the night before, so the clouds still covered the mountain on my walk to school. I also self-packaged and shipped some textbooks back because I didn't need them. I was done with classes by 11, so I did some homework so that when T. and C. got out we could head to lunch! Then it was some more homework and a writing lab for las otras, and that night we headed to the much-anticipated volleyball game! Our men's volleyball team is ranked #3 in the nation, and that night we played UC Irvine, who is (was) #1. We won!!!!  It was a great game and lots of fun. T.'s friend M. came too! And then after the game we walked over to E.'s to watch Zoolander. Cool story, Hansel.

fresh snow!

poor college student packaging.

5000 people showed up for an epic game.

celebration!!!

Side note: the sis got bangs! And she looks great! Friday night was her headlining performance at a local spot; and I hear she did fantastic. As usual :)

lookin' good!

paparazzi? she's used to it.

So today I woke up early to head to the Timpanogos Temple with T., C., and M. (C.'s roommate). It was a wonderful experience. I have been worried about a lot of things lately, and going there today really gave me time to ponder and think about some things on my mind. Plus, the Spirit was super strong and, by the end of everything, I just felt so loved and empowered and ready to face whatever this semester brings.

After that, we all came back to Provo to change into regular clothes and wash the chlorine out of our hair, and then we headed to the Traverse Mtn. outlets because C. needed some new clothes. We hit up my FAVORITE store (take a wild wild guess at what it is...) as well as Gap, Banana Republic, Loft, etc.

sweet ties=just another justification for j.crew

After that, it was off to dinner with everyone, including C.'s brothers E. and E.! Then we did some grocery shopping for our TRIP tomorrow-we're headed to Alpine for sledding, hot tubbing, and relaxation :) I can't wait! It's so nice that it's only been half of the weekend...two more days to go! Woohoo for three-day vacations.
