General Conference

Ok it's time for a new post. This event happened a few weeks ago but that's ok. So i had the opportunity to go up to conference with a few friends- about 12 of us went so it was a blast. We left early early Friday morning and came home Sunday night. Wow that is kind of a long distance for such a short trip but i loved it. We all stayed at one of my friends parent's house in South Jordan and then drove up to Salt Lake. This was a huge debate whether or not to go on my part but things just kept working out. One of my EFY co-counselors called before i left to see if i wanted to go to the saturday afternoon session with him...so i had a date to conference with a Utahan! Haha that was super fun. Then once we got there another one of my friends called up to see if we wanted some saturday morning session tickets!!! Yay! This was my first time up to conference and i loved it- oh and it was freezing!! That was a new experience- i recommend more than just a holey sweater in the snow! :)

To make the weekend even better...Friday night when we got there, i ran into so many people i knew in Provo. People from my accounting class here at ASU, one of my best girl friends growing up that i hadn't seen since i was 12, my best girlfriends from Gilbert, what seemed like MY WHOLE WARD at one table at Applebees, a kid from here that one of my friends tried to set me up with, my friend from England, and a girl that i had yelled to earlier that day at Wendys in Beaver, Ut because she was wearing an ASU shirt too!!! ALL OF THIS AT APPLEBEES IN PROVO! Crazy small world and i loved it!

Go ASU!

The past couple of saturday nights have been filled with much futbol! I love going to the games...oh so fun! It's quite a shocking experience if you listen closely to people's conversations around you or if you don't close your eyes to what i call "shirt art", but the games are awesome!...And when you go with a group of friends you know you'll be with some good people :) This last weekend's game was against Oregon State. We were loosing bad in the first quarter, starting catching up by half time, and the thrid and fourth quarter we stomped on them! 44 to 23 as the ending score! AMAZING! haha

Peppersauce Caves

This past weekend was the first time in 5 weeks that I haven't been swamped with homework! So a few of my friends and I took a day trip down to Oracle, AZ. There's really nothing much in this town...except these sweet mud caves! From the outside, it just looks like a mountain but up the hill a little ways there is a little hole in the side of the mountain. Small enough to just look like an animal's habitat. But nope! Squeezing through this first tight spot is the beginning of hours of exploring in a ginormous area that pitch black, 20 degrees cooler than the outside temp., and super muddy. It was awesome!

This was called the "Rabbit Hole"- you have to go in head first on your side to fit :)

A few of us look like we have some issues in this picture but that's ok...it makes me smile

This is the "large room" just a few hundred yards from the entrance.
