Take Me Out To The Ball Game
On Saturday, we went to the Jazz game. We went to cheer for the Clippers. Preston came with us, and it was so much fun. We went to see Lamar Odom and Blake Griffin play, but unfortunately, neither of them played since it was a pre-season game. In a couple of weeks, the Lakers are coming, and it's regular season, so we are thinking about going up so I can watch Kobe play. :) Here are some pictures!
Why Georgia
Last week, Jordan and I got to go to the south so that he could interview for a PA school down there. We left on Tuesday and flew back to Utah on Friday. It was a whirlwind of a trip, but so much fun. I took my camera with me to get some pictures, but then I totally forgot it at the house every day. Oh well.
Tuesday started off fairly exciting. Our flight was scheduled to leave around 1:45 pm. I (obviously not thinking very clearly) decided we would leave around 12:15 and stop and get lunch on the way. We stopped for lunch, but the drive through line was way too long, so we moved on. We stopped at Deseret Book for a Turkish Book of Mormon for my Dad (if you are curious, ask him the story, it's pretty cool). So we continued on our way. As we pulled into a spot in the economy lot, Jordan asked me what time our flight was at. I said 1:45. He asked if I was aware that it was 1:15. At that point it clicked, that I was grossly wrong in calculating the leaving time. So we grabbed our stuff and ran. The bus was luckily at the station, we hopped on and worried. The bus ride seemed to take forever but we finally got to the airport around 1:30. We ran to security hoping the line was short, but no avail, the line was longer than usual. I looked at a TSA agent and asked if there was anything he could do to help us out, since our flight was in less than 20 minutes. He joked around with us, and then let us through the fast lane. Security still seemed to drag, but finally we were through, with only minutes to spare. I knew at this point, there was no way we could possibly make it, but still we ran. We got to the gate, and much to our surprise, the door was still open and a gate agent was there. We boarded the plane, and literally took off minutes later.
Luckily, the rest of the day was pretty calm, we had a layover in Denver and then arrived in Jacksonville. Since my parents were in Italy, their car was at the airport in Jacksonville, we picked it up and drove to their house. It was pretty late, so not much happened that night.
We woke up early, for us, the next day (Wednesday) and drove up to Georgia. After stopping at the Townhouse in Savannah, we headed to Mellow Mushroom for lunch. Yum! I love it! We headed downtown to South University. We sat through a couple information sessions and then went on a tour of downtown. I love that city. If you have never gone to Savannah, just know it is seriously the most beautiful city. We ate dinner that night with some current students, and they told us about how awesome the school is. It was a great day.
The next day was Jordan's interview. Crazy. He felt like it went really well, so hopefully we'll be hearing back soon. We drove down to Jacksonville after his interview and had Panera Bread for lunch. Then because we love it so much, had some Panera for dinner too. Oh delicious food. I miss you while in Utah. We just relaxed for the rest of the day.
All in all, it was a great vacation and fun to spend time together just the two of us.

The Spirit of God
I love General Conference. There are many different reasons, mostly for the light it brings to my life, but also because it brings people together. This General Conference weekend was no exception. A few years ago, in my single years, I started a tradition. In between the Sunday sessions of General Conference, I would hold a crepe party. The concept was simple, my house provided the crepes, and all the guests would bring toppings. Throughout my years at BYU, there were 7 crepe parties at my apartments. They were a huge success, at it's largest, 200+ people came. People would stay for conference and fun was had all around. Due to some life circumstances, I stopped having crepe parties.
This year, a couple of my old roommates and dear friends decided it was time for them to throw a crepe party. They invited me to come and reprise my old roll. I was able to go and cook crepes! I loved it! The crepes were delicious.
Later that night we headed up north to my aunts house for a barbeque. We had a lot of fun with all the cousins and enjoyed great company!
All in all, it was a great General Conference weekend. We loved it!
