Savior of the World

So I know I've been a total slacker, I just haven't had any motivation to post pics. We have done a quite a bit of things since my last post. But here I am slacking. Last night when went to go see the play Savior of the World in Salt Lake at the conference center. It was great, very moving, very inspiring and totally lead by the spirit. I loved it. We have a guy at work named Ethan, he was in the play, he played Nicodemus. You can still buy tickets at this site. There are only $8.00 a ticket. A steal. Check it out there is a variety of shows and times.

New Calling...

Now don't think I don't like church...I do..I swear. I just don't like it when I am coming into the chapel and the 1st Counselor in our Bishopric comes up to me and says "Can I speak with you for a moment". Now the first thing that goes through my head is, oh crap, here comes the calling. I kind of had an idea, that someone put in my head, of what my calling was. My friend Kendra and I are the new Marriage and Family Relations teachers. I am a little scared. I have only given one lesson in RS since I have become an adult. Almost 6 years. Everyone said I did a good job, but that still doesn't change the fact that it scares me. I will be spending a lot of time on my knees to prepare for this lesson. Now because there are two instructors we have to figure out how to teach together. It will be a learning experience and a way for us to become better people in general. Here's to a wonderful, trying time. Wish me luck.....

Halloween...

As young adults I wonder what are we suppose to do on Halloween. I mean we are too old to go trick or treating, the apartment building we live in doesn't have children (so we cant hand out candy), and it takes a lot of work to find a party. So what do we do? I had never been to haunted house, so Matt and I and some friends (Brian and Kendra) decided to check out Haunted Hallow in West Haven. Before we had left I told Matt that we needed to go to the ATM to get cash, because we didn't know how much it would be. Actually I thought it would be about 10 to 15 dollars. Matt thought it would be about 5 dollars. So we get there and its 15 dollars. I was totally right. Matt said he just hopes it is 15 dollars worth of scariness. I hoped it wouldn't be. It was. Check it out. We are just disappointed that we didn't go several times this season. So for all those people that have never been, I recommend going to a haunted house next year. I heard there is this one in Salt Lake that is 15 floors high and cost 50 bucks, I don't know if I would like to be scared that much.

Corn Mazes.....

On Monday night, Matt and I were invited by our friends Brian and Kendra to go to a corn maze. I don't think I had ever gone before and Matt hadn't gone in years.


There were signs all over the place that said "DON'T JUMP IN THE HAY". Now for some reason that wasn't a good enough reason for Matt or Brian. Boys, Boys, Boys...They just couldn't behave. Now don't think I did everything right. There were also signs that read "DON'T THROW CORN", Kendra and I both are guilt for throwing corn. She pulled the kernels off and threw them, I just threw the whole cob. We had some much fun, I really enjoyed going, we might take the boys when Ash gets back into town. I know they will enjoy going down the slide. I sure hated it, I hate not being in control of how fast I go. It's terrifying. Just like the stupid ride, Lady Bug Drop. (For all those who have been to Lagoon).

Thriller

On Friday night, Matt and I went to see the show Thriller. It was our first time going. I loved it, I love the singing, the dancing, and especially those crazy women walking around before the show. The show was awesome. When I was younger, my family loved to watch Monty Python and the quest for the holy grail. So when the guy comes out and says, BRING OUT YOUR DEAD, I just died laughing. It was hilarious. I recommend the show for everyone. I think you should at least go see it once. I know that we are going next year. Here's to crossing my fingers that it comes back, next October.

General Conference....

I know I'm a little behind, but I thought you all should know anyways..... That I love General Conference. I love to hear our prophet speak, and to listen to all the wisdom of the apostles and other general authorities. I was lucky enough to go to the conference center a couple of sessions ago. I think everyone should have the opportunity to go, so when April come around try to get tickets. Elder Oaks gave a talk about Sacrament dress, appearance, and participating in a appropriate manner talk; I have to say it was a great talk. It is the talk that I remember so clearly, it was great. I can't wait to get my Ensign so I can read it. Totally check it out.

Cooking School...

Last Tuesday I went to this cooking school at the Dee. I went the first year we were here and then this year. I just love to go. The first couple hundred people get these bags full of Tupperware, coupons, seasoning samples and cookbooks. Even if you just go to get the bag, it's totally worth it. At the show they give out lots of stuff and teach you how to make some recipes. On the side of the picture you see those brown paper bags, they are full of groceries. They give those out too. I have been unfortunate not to win. A couple of ladies around me won. It was terrible I never win. I got some great ideas, and learned some new things about cooking. I think they will come in handy when I start doing those cooking classes.....Yes I am going to start teaching cooking classes. Let me know if your interested in coming. Anyways, you should attend this school next year. It's so worth it.
