that's what friends are for...

I'm so grateful for the amazing friends I have. I am so blessed to have such great people in my life who are always there when I need them and who know exactly what to say and what to do. Thanks.

I love Erica!

Because my roommates are both in school, I haven't really gotten to know them. I mean, we live together and I do see them because I don't have a job or anything, well I do now, but they're gone a lot. We've been spending a lot of time with some of the guys in our ward and watching the olympics, and so we haven't had a lot of time just the three of us.

Here's a picture of the three of us roommates. I don't think it's the original though. I think Erica might have messed around with the color settings, but it still looks good. Erica is on my left, and Becca is on my right.



Becca left for Utah this morning, so Erica and I have spent the day together. She's so sweet! I love her! And she reminds me in some ways of what I was like at 17 and just out of high school. She's so mature for her age. She is so wise too! I feel like I've learned more from her than she'll learn from me. Anyway, I just love her! I'm sad though because at the end of the break she's moving, so our time as roommates will have been very short-lived. She and I have a lot in common, which is nice, and I'm grateful I had the opportunity to be her roommate.

Life is so great! I'm grateful for good friends and the opportunity I have to be back in Idaho meeting so many new people!

Work!

I got a job today. I will be working on-campus at the BYU-I Bookstore as a computer sales assistant. At BYU-I there is a laptop initiative, which recommends all students have laptops. Starting Winter 2009, all students will be required to have laptops. I don't really completely understand all of the reasoning behind this, but I guess I will learn.

The bad news is that this job is only temporary. So, I still need to be on the look-out for a permanent part-time job. I'm hoping at Deseret Book, but we'll see.

I start working at my new job on Monday.

Mr. & Mrs. Jarom Price

Yesterday was amazing! Tayler looked stunning! I loved her dress and her colors and the way everything turned out! It was great! And it was fun to see so many people that I haven't seen in forever! Jarom is one lucky man!

Sorry, I'm not home longer!

The big day is finally here! Tayler and Jarom are getting married! I'm so excited for them!

My time in San Diego is really short, and I apologize for those who were hoping to see me while I was down. I decided since I already said bye to everyone, that I would make this trip short. But I'll be home at Christmas for a while, until Corey leaves on his mission, so hopefully that will make up for this quick trip.

Oh, yesterday I got to go to the Jordan River Temple in Utah to do baptisms. They have it quite the system. You're in and out! But it was neat to be able to go inside another temple. Speaking of temples, apparently there are two temples being built in Utah. One in Draper, which I knew about, and one in Ocre (spelling?). The stone on the Ocre Temple has not been started yet, but the spire and Moroni are up. So, it looks kind of funny because from a distance it looks like a black temple. I should take a picture when I'm there again on Saturday.

Anyway, I gotta run! So much to do, and so little time!

ending the teen years...

I turn 20 in a week, and I'm not really sure how I feel about that. I mean, I don't feel like I'm getting old or anything, but then again it's not like I get to turn around and be a kid again. (Not that I would necessarily want the opportunity.)

Anyway, I'm so happy! My work situation is less than ideal, but I'm learning to say oh well! I mean, I'll figure something out. I can always find another job. It's just not very fun, especially when your two previous jobs were supposed to transfer.

I'm leaving for Utah on Tuesday morning. I can't wait! I get to see my best friend for two whole day, and I wasn't planning on seeing her until who knows when! Then I get to see my family, the Densley's, and a really good friend when I go home to San Diego for Tayler's wedding. I can't believe she's finally getting married on Friday! All this talk and this long wait, but it's really happening! I'm so happy for Tay and Jarom! What an exciting time in both of their lives!

I fly out of Salt Lake on Thursday night, and I leave San Diego Saturday afternoon. I'm excited! And then I get to teach Relief Society on Sunday, which I'm very excited about!

Life is so good! And so what, I'm one year older in a week, but I'm finally learning to love life and everything it brings!
