Spring??

You know how April is suppose to be the begining of Spring? Well here it definatly is not :P This week we got hit with a huge storm, we had no power for almost a full day, no internet AND there was no school/work for me!! It turned out to be a relaxing day even if we had to shovel for hours, but I could've done with some warm food...

I woke up to find the power was out :(

SoI decided to curl up with a good book

My brothers played a game that required no power

*Sigh* it just kept falling

Cousins :)

Today I was thinking about my cousins Charlotte and Emily, maybe it's just because I see how much fun they are having at BYU together and I want in on it or just because I haven't seen them in a while...what ever it is I miss them :( They have always lived pretty far so when I do get to see them it's a pretty big deal, but at least with blogging and facebook I can see what's going on in their lives and they can see what's new in mine :P They are sOo attractive and have always had great style, and guess the fact that I love hanging out and talking to them is of some importance too.

Last time they came for a visit I remember laying on the bed beside Charlotte's while we both read the 6th Harry Potter book and since she was a little ahead of me she would lean over and say such things like "Just wait till the next chapter, you're going to really hate Snape then!!" haha. Also when I was bawling like a baby she was the only one who knew why and she was there to comfort me through the loss of Dumbldore :P.

A couple years later I got to visit them over Christmas break. And had the pleasure of being snowed in with them, durring that time I watched The Office for the first time and have been watching it ever since. While I was there I got to attend the youth New Years dance with Emily, it was there where she stood in the middle of the dance floor with her hand held up durring a slow song...it worked :P. I loved every minute of that trip (well almost... the doll head photo album in my bed was not so nice) but it strengthened my relationship to them and the rest of their family.

With us all growing up and going our seperate ways it's nice to know that no matter where we are we can always facebook or text each other :)

Easter

This weekend was great :) Not only was it Easter but it was General Conference as well, what a great way to remember what Christ has done for us. I wish I could write down everything that I learned but it would probably take to long and I may not do the speakers justice :P

One thing I will say though is that the people who spoke all talked about families and what we need to do to raise the younger generation in this world. Those who are parents have a greater responsibility now then ever before and honestly this scares me a little bit...I don't know if when the time comes I can do everything I need to in order to bring my children up in the way that I should, but I don't have to worry about that for a long time so I have some time to figure it out :P

This weekend I also read The Last Song by Nicholas Sparks, to anyone who has not read it I would highly recomend it. It's not like other Nicholas Sparks novels so you don't have to worry about unwanted scenes...it has a great message and it may even make you cry.

Anyways enough of my ramblings, I need to get ready for institute...
