I choose to blog.

I'm sitting in the library of USU and I should be doing homework.

But I can't focus right now. Mainly because there is an awkward couple kissing in front of me. Every. Two. Seconds. Seriously?? As if Valentine's Day wasn't enough...
Whatevs. 

General Conference was so wonderful. Every 6 months I look forward to spiritual enlightenment, cuddling up in a blanket, possibly drink some hot coco {whaaat? it's getting chilly over in my neck of the woods}and some uplifting from our dear Prophet, Thomas S. Monson. 
Fall is most definitely in the air. And mother nature has started to paint the trees with lovely oranges and yellows and reds! Oh, what a lovely time of year. I found a delicious recipe for pumpkin pie here and it just made me even more excited for October festivities. 

Last night I received a call from one of my best friends who is back from the mission!!! After TWO whole years of not hearing his voice, I was in heaven.
I love how grown up and mature he is. I love how much he loves and appreciates the Gospel and family. I love his little Spanish accent when speaking English. I love that he is fluent in Spanish. I love that he asked me 20 times to know how to say a word. I love that I get to hug him NEXT week. But what I love the most is how two years can strengthen a friendship.
He is the first one of my friends to come back and I can't even imagine how much the others have grown.
One by one they will be back.  
It's surreal.

Last week I had this little number:
 I should prob work out or something...
Happy Monday to you!!
