Experimenting

I was really hungry today, and I didn't have lots of food. Being Sunday, I couldn't just go buy stuff, so I searched the fridge and my cupboards and decided on spaghetti, cherry tomatoes, and grated parmesan cheese. I'm still not quite sure how, but I actually made a pretty good dish. I was quite pleased with myself!

Hiking

Another great thing about warm weather is going on hikes Today was the first hike of the warm weather part of the year (remember my New Year's hike?) I was definitely reminded how much I enjoy hiking. Even though it isn't always easy, it's so nice to be outside and enjoying nature. Today, it was especially fun to sit and try to figure out where everything was in the Provo/Orem area. It's amazing how difficult it gets when you are on a mountain and everything loses is definition and detail. But, I'm pretty sure we figured out where Carriage Cove was, and that was the main goal!

A few of us that went...

See LaVell Edwards Stadium over on the left?
It's probably one of my favorite places in the world!

Warm Weather

There are a few things I especially enjoy when Spring finally gets here and the weather warms up:
1-I love getting new flowers for my flower pots. Today I got just a few to start, and I look forward to getting some more.
2-I love being able to go and sit out by the pool. Even if I don't actually get it, it's so nice to be able to just sit and enjoy the sunshine.
3-I love sitting on my couch outside of my apartment and having people congregate. It's so fun to have people out and visiting and enjoying the warm weather.

Days like today make me very excited for the months to come.

Parachutes

One of my favorite activities in PE in Elementary School was playing with the parachute. I loved it! I've never been a big one for PE or sports or anything like that, but if we got to play with the parachute, I enjoyed PE.

Tonight, we played with a parachute for FHE. It was so much fun! I think I forgot how much I enjoyed it. I so much enjoy being able to go back to being a kid sometimes. It's a great relaxer.

Crocheting

I love crocheting. I usually make blankets, scarfs, and hats. However, I am usually really bad at actually finishing a blanket when I start. I've been working on one for a couple months...definitely not consistently...and today I finished it! It is going to be a gift for someone, and it is probably the blanket I have felt the best about. I personally think it looks awesome, and I don't usually say that about my projects. I'm excited to be able to give it away when it's time!

General Conference

Again...a favorite weekend of mine. One of my favorite parts of the weekend happened when we turned on the Sunday. This is the sight I saw"

The choir was in purple...the women specifically in lavender. After a great session, full of amazing talks, the closing hymn was "Come, Thou Fount of Every Blessing." Remember my love for purple? This song has the same effect. It was the closing hymn at Aunt Sherie's funeral. These two things together probably became my favorite part of the entire conference. It was really amazing.
