easters update

Hi. I had a good Easters. I am the only one at home so I got all the candy to myself. Which is a good and bad thing. Good because easters candy is my most favorite candy of all the holidays, and I get to eat it all myself. Bad because I get to eat it all myself. I just loooove jelly beans and cadbury mini eggs.

Today is my mom and dad's 30th wedding anniversary. Congrats to them!

I'm still in a sugar coma, so I'll do a write up from my trip later. I get to leave in less than two weeks to go to UT for a wedding and I am super excited.

...and one of the best parts of my vacation-meeting up with Jenn and Aaron in DC, I haven't seen them in a long time and I missed them. They are still pretty much the same. We got soggy but it was fun!

Boy do I need a vacation

Can I just say that I am really looking forward to my vacation that is coming up? Seriously. I just need to get out of town and be away from people for awhile. The quagmire that is the Tri-Cities has really been draging on me lately and I need a break. Not having to go to work is exciting too. I can't say I'll miss it. I leave the great state of Washington on Friday to head to the other Washington-DC that is, and I am SO FREAKING EXCITED.

So excited that in preparation for my trip I have made an iPod playlist of songs appropriate to locations I will be visiting. "Good Morning, Baltimore" from Hairspray for Baltimore, "Philadelphia Freedom" by Elton John and the Rocky song for Philly, "The Virginia Company" song from Pocahontas for Virginia, and a plethora of patriotic/americana songs just for DC such as "America" by Simon & Garfunkel, "America the Beautiful" by Ray Charles, and I'll probably get some John Phillip Sousa (Stars and Stripes) in there. Also, we are watching movies that will prepare us for our trip. My dad watched "Gettysburg," I also have "The Philadelphia Story," "Mr. Smith Goes to Washington," "A More Perfect Union" and "National Treasure" on that list. I'm probably getting carried away but I like to prepare.

Also, General Conference was really good. Like all of it. I felt really recharged after this one. Please go back and read/listen to them because not only are they good, but they are scripture. So there.

text from bub

What do you get when you combine 30,000 mormon young adults, spring fever, and general conference?

Answer: This text I got from my sister today who is at BYU:
"I think there were a lot of boys that took prophetic counsel to heart today. I am going to have to call you tomorrow."

(If you missed out-President Monson came down hard on the young men who are single and not doing anything about it. I heard he almost yelled at them to get married.)

I'm sorry Bub, but this is too funny. I am dying of laughter right now and just dad that I am not there to witness all this going down. Classic.
