Last Post in America baby!

Well now that I no longer have internet at my cute little house, I have to go to the library to use it. So blogging is no longer something I can do late at night when sleep evades me. I actually have to think about and take the time to blog. Weird. Hence why there has been very little of it. Any way let me tell you about my weekend before I bid you adieu.

So Saturday night I hung out with 2 (out of 4) of my favorite New York friends ever. I love calling them my New York friends even though we are all from Utah. Ha Its just where we met and played for the first yearish of our friendship. Jenna and Ashly came down and we went to dinner. I hadn't seen either of them in like 6 months (why you ask? No clue we live close. Don't worry it won't happen again) Then we had ice cream and talked for hours on end. I love how it can seem like no time had passed at all and we were suddenly crying so hard tears were running down our faces. They saw me through one of the most trying moments of my life and I love them for that. They are amazing people and between them, my kids, and Wendy, New York is still one of my greatest life experiences. No matter how it ended. The pictures are of the "4 SN's" plus a picture of Jenna (she moved in a lot later than us)... ha ha Love them all!

Sunday Josie and I went to church and it was wonderful. I got a blessing from the Bishop just for comfort during my up coming trip and let me tell you, I know the church is true, its just nice to be reminding how much our father in Heaven truly loves us. My blessing turned out to be so much more than I could have asked for and gave me the push and peace I needed to move forward with my life. I am so grateful for the Priesthood! We played a bunch of getting to know you games after Sacrament (we have Sacrament last FYI) so that was fun.

Later that night Josie and I watched "Young Victoria". I had heard about this movie last year from my friend Madeline and have be wanting to see it since. Its AMAZING. Definitely in my top 5 favorite movies. As for Queen Victoria and Prince Albert's relationship: Purely Magical! What ever little girl dreams of :) If you haven't seen it I suggest you do so! SOON!

Well I have lots of last minute things to do before we leave (in a little over 2 days.) Yes I am actually going to Africa with my two best friends. I am not sure my life could get better, then again God always suprises me and his love and blessings become more evident every day! I love you all! We have a long couple of days traveling ahead of us but I am sure we will make a fun adventure out of it! There will be an internet cafe near the villiage we are staying in, so email will be the only contact for the next 4 weeks. So email me!
