Our New Friends

We've made some new friends since moving! We've spent a LOT of time with them, and I'm so grateful for that. I love these guys. Unfortunately, they could leave at anytime and we can't just hang out like normal friends. But that's alright. I wouldn't trade them for anything. :)
Sister Knowlton and Sister Rodriguez

(not pictured)
Elder Brennen, Elder Wipfler, and Elder Hoyt

The Elders have been over so many times, and the Sisters came over for dinner and I went tracting with them once. It's so cool, they're all our age. They all graduated the same year we did. It's so nice to have SOMEONE in our new ward that's near our age. I love having them over and I love learning with them. Every time any of them come over, they bring the Spirit with them and lighten up our day. Not only are they our friends, but they're our friends in the gospel as well. 

I tell everyone about them and their stories. Sister Knowlton talks in her sleep and has been heard repeating the missionary discussions and saying that she's walking on the water with Peter. Elder Hoyt is a BYU football player, and Elder Brennen was his RA when he was at BYU. Elder Brennen loves BYU football and once helped Hoyt draft a letter to the head coach, a very proud moment in his life He hopes to be the water boy when he comes back. It's funny because Hoyt is 6'8" while Brennen is 5'9" ish. Wipfler has cool stories for everything and loves to talk sports and showed us this video from President Holland about paths and how Heavenly Father sometimes lets us go on the wrong path for a bit so we can know we're on the right path which really stuck with me so I'll always remember him for that.

I love our friends. I don't want them to go!

Say Yes?

Well. Today I went dress shopping. And it was a really fun experience! I went a few weeks ago, and that wasn't as fun. I almost fainted because everything was so tight! And I looked like a little girl playing dress up. This time though, I felt sophisticated, it was a much better experience, and I may have found THE dress. I know it's one of these ones, but at the store I thought I was going to get one dress. But as I got home and looked through the pictures again, I think another one will work better and is really THE one. I'm going to sit on it though.  I thought it'd be fun to put the pictures up here and let you all see! Tell me which dress is your favorite! If there's two pictures together, it's the front and back.  How was dress shopping for you?  I like the lace and buttons on this dress     Love the top and flowyness of this dress. Really love the neck, top, and ruching on this dress. Not sure about the train though. This...

Book of Mormon Musical?

Well, it's here in Denver. Kind of hard not to notice it with all the signs. The Book of Mormon Musical. I have very mixed feeling about this. I know that in the grand scheme of the universe, this musical shouldn't bother me so much. But it really, really does. The Book of Mormon is something very near and dear to my heart. And I know that people make fun of the LDS church on an hourly basis. I've heard all the jokes. Not a big deal. Plus, I'm blonde. I can take a joke. But this musical really disturbs me. I listened to the songs when they were released, thinking oh, I'm gonna be one of those cool people who fights for this play. But then I really started listening to the words. And they bothered me. A lot. Saying that missionaries who are out in the field make up things on the spot, like having sex with frogs will get rid of aids, it bugged me. I don't even want to talk about some of the other songs. I heard them and felt, just not right. I was comforted by t...

I'm not going to waste time talking about why I have a blog or how this is my first new blog post, because I like to have faith in the human race and the fact that they can read and can interpret these things on there own. I mean, there aren't any posts under this one so obviously this is my first new post. And having a blog is not a mandatory thing to live so one could hypothetically conclude that this is for fun. That is hypothetically speaking of course. I just used 89 words explaining why I didn't need to explain something. I hope I counted that right. Anyways.  Three years ago today on a rainy day I remember being in a basement with a bunch of little people and adults for a scout thing. And I remember them talking about how a certain friend of mine was going to be a senior and how that's so crazy. I was just going to be a freshman at the time and thought I was the coolest thing since duct tape. (Sorry sliced bread, duct tape is waay cooler.) Now that friend is get...
