MEGA Weekend



"Mega" seemed to be the word that described my weekend perfectly. We went 80's dancing again on Thursday which was super fun and we had some mega sweet dance moves (especially when Footloose came on).  Some guy even asked for my number and said he would drive from Salt Lake to see me, but I shot him down. So that was a mega rejection.
     Friday we went to the semi-formal homecoming dance which was Gatsby themed. It was So much fun. They held it in an art gallery and outside they had a live jazz band and we learned how to swing dance. After that we went and got home mega good hot chocolate and watched Footloose until 3 in the morning.
     Saturday Hailey and I slept in until 11 and it was such a great feeling. We missed seeing all of the homecoming parade stuff, but the sleep was definitely worth it. We spent the day shopping, cleaning, and decorating our dorm door. We easily have the coolest door in the building. (Thank you Pinterest!) After that I went on a date to go see Pacific Rim and eat Thai food. Neither of those were really my style, but it was still one of the funnest nights.


     Sunday will be forever known as MEGA Sunday in my book. I had to speak at Stake Conference and tell everyone my conversion story. It went really well and people even laughed at my jokes! I had so many people thank me after. I even had a boy text me after saying that every guy in the room fell for me. haha It was such a super sweet night! Then I went and watched a movie with some friends and went to In-N-Out to celebrate some recent events that happened with my friends. It was an awesome day.

      I had the most amazing Conference weekend! It was exactly what I needed. I went in with a prayer in my heart, wondering if I was to serve a mission or not. Though that prayer wasn't answered directly, I was definitely more attentive to the messages that were being shared. On Sunday Hailey and I got to go to see conference in Salt Lake City. Turns out she is somehow related to Elder Anderson so we had some super awesome close floor seats. The whole atmosphere was filled with the spirit and it just made me so excited about everything life has to offer. I seriously LOVE the church! The talks were so amazing and I felt so spiritually fed. I was also physically fed when Sister Kennedy (my old Young Women's President) took us to the Cheesecake Factory after. I was a REALLY good day. I also have decided that I am not going to serve a mission. I think that there is a lot of work that I am supposed to do here at school.          

Let's just take a moment and appreciate all of the hard work my best friend in the whole wide world is putting into his mission. I just really miss him a whole lot!! At least his passion for food hasn't changed :)
