I can't believe two weeks have gone by! Time sure has flown. I am trying to take in all these experiences and enjoy every minute :). Last week we were in Salt Lake City, Utah for a Special Edition of EFY. It was a CRAZY yet awesome week. It was the first time that EFY has done a Special session of this kind. We did a lot of church history sites which included Temple Square, Ensign Peak, This is the Place, Welfare Square and the Humanitarian Center. We also got to see the Joseph Smith movie in the Legacy Theater and have some really awesome speakers. I personally was kinda having a hard week. I was sick at the beginning of the week, but thankfully got better :) I was also REALLY missing Grandma. I wanted to call her SO many times. But I am starting to feel more peace about everything. So, overall it was a fantastic week!
Some of the highlights included: Our 14 hour drive from Fresno was LONG. At one point we thought we'd never get there. I got to ride with Justin and Jenny and we bonded. LOVE them :) We were REALLY slap happy by the end of the drive that everything was making us laugh. I cried I was laughing so hard. They gave me dayquil to help me feel better...but I think the meds just made me crazy instead...Lol.
This was one of MANY potty stops on the way. Jenny stopped at the first place she saw and there was a sign saying "bathrooms around back" so we went and this is what we found. This lady came out and said "hold your breath ladies!" So we did....it was NASTY. Never again. Jenny then warned some people not to use them. Lol. So we treated ourselves to some DQ :) Sorry for covering your face Jenny :)
Justin was such a trooper. Letting me and Jenny have lots of girl talk and listen to Justin Beiber.
Salt Lake Temple! So beautiful. We were able to take the youth inside and I got to do a session :)
We hiked Ensign Peak on Tuesday and waved our banners over the Salt Lake Valley!
This is the Salt Lake Capitol Building. I'm totally a dork...but did you know that Legally Blonde 2 was filmed here? I really wanted to put on a pink suit, walk up the stairs and say "I object!" :)
I pretty much got to play shuttle driver because we had so many activities off campus. We named our white 12 passenger van "Helga". Miss you Helga. We had good times though!
My Aunt Bonnie came for a quick visit on Wednesday night! It was so good to see her. LOVE YOU!
The best efy team EVER.
Future General Authority? :)
LOVED all these girls. I had SO much fun hanging out with them. They are so sweet and such dolls. I'll miss you ladies!
Well we are now here in Santa Barbara. Ryan and I left early yesterday to fly down and get things set up. I have some great stories about our flight down...but that's a story for the next post :) We had training today for some new counselors and my biggest goal this weekend is to SLEEP. I am so excited for next though! My lil sis is coming AND my roommate's lil sis is coming too. PLUS some of my girls from last year will be here. AND who could forget the amazing food at the DLG. I am getting fluffy already and its only been 2 days. Yikes. Someone needs to keep me accountable on how many desserts I have a day. Here's to another great week!
Love and miss you all!
