My conference certificate :)
Later that day, I made a last minute decision and drove up to Logan with Wendi. I'm so glad I did! That night wendi had a group over to her house to play Just Dance (so fun!) and then we met up with friends from my old ward at the Sports Academy in Logan. I wasn't exactly dressed for swimming, or sports, but it was fun to see old friends and eat pizza. Then at midnight, a group of us went to The Fun Park to play laser tag in the entire building (Thanks to Julie). It was fun running around the skating rink, through the arcade games, and crawling through the children play tunnels. Its a lot harder to climb in those things as an adult. haha
The next morning, I went with Julie to clean the church building in providence. That was one of my first callings in the ward when I first moved to providence and so it was somewhat nostalgic...is that weird? Maybe it is. Oh well. It was kind of cool because the bishopric showed up and put me in charge...even though I'm not in the ward anymore. It made me feel like I had never left.
Unfortunately, I still had a lot of homework that I had to do over the weekend so I went back to Julies to try to get everything done. For lunch, Mike, Jessica Smith, Julie and I went out to eat at Herm's Inn (This cute little place on the way to First Dam). I had always heard good things about the food and I was excited to try it... I wasn't disappointed. Biscuits and Gravy...Yum.
Herm's Inn...where you drink out of jars. :)
At the Women's Conference
On sunday, I went to church, saw my friends, ate delicious food at break-the-fast (no seriously, everything was SO yummy...not just because I was fasting) and then I went to my friend Liz and Sydney's home and watched Austenland and talked until Wendi came to pick me up. *sigh* Weekends in cache valley are so much fun!
Back in Salt Lake:
I had been pretty concerned about the fact that my housing contract ends in May, and I wanted to move, but I hadn't found anything yet. I was praying and fasting for some direction, and on Tuesday everything started coming together. Kelli (a girl in my program) mentioned a few people who had some openings where she lived. So that night (and the next day) I went and viewed the rooms. And I found a place! I will officially be moving in May to a townhouse in Holladay. I'm excited...and nervous...all at the same time.
On thurdsday my program had an "End of the Year Banquet" where they gave out awards and scholarships to a few lucky souls. I wasn't among them, but that's okay. I enjoyed seeing the people in my program all dressed up. They brought their significant others and children. I didn't bring anyone. Obviously.
Kassi Me and Katherine. My Study Buddies. Single...
On Friday my client had cancelled her session, so Katherine and I decided to change our study group up a little but. We both took the tracks downtown (always an adventure!) and studied at the visitors center at temple square. I really enjoyed studying there! During one of our many "off track"moments, Katherine and I started talking about how I had never seen the movie "Legacy" that is shown at the visitors center. We decided to take a break from studying and asked the sister missionaries to play the movie. They set us in a room (that we had all to ourselves which was kind of nice) and we watched the movie. Pioneers and a love story...love it!
Later that night sarah came over and we had a girls night. She came with me to get my hair cut (It was time.) and then we bought a pizza and started a Jane Austen movie. We interrupted the movie to meet up with Wendi, Amber and Jessica to get frozen yogurt. Gotta love girls night!
Saturday was general conference and my roommate Morgan had gotten tickets to the afternoon session. She invited me and Alex Johnson to join her and her coworkers.
Conference!
I was lucky enough to go to General Conference on Sunday as well with some friends from Logan. We had GREAT seats. We sat on the terrace directly in the middle! Mary and Colton also had tickets for same section, so I saved them seats so we could all sit together. After conference, Mary and Colton came over for dinner. We had delicious tortollini soup, rolls, and ceasar salad. We played headbands, only this time we made up the words. Colton's were always the hardest to guess...Styrofoam? Impossible!
Yay for family. I'm so happy Mary and Colton came to visit. :)
