Changes are good :-)

There are a couple things happening this weekend. First, The Church Of Jesus Christ Of Latter-Day Saints (LDS) announced that women can go on missions at 19 instead of 21. This was announced the day before my 18th birthday. I want to go on a mission and it may not happen the day I turn 19. But i'm going to start praying about it and studying. Also Brad Wilcox teaches a mission prep class and I can register for class for next semester in 22 days. :-) Going on a mission when I am 19 also means I could be for my mission for the last 11 of my best friends Stewart's mission. Wouldn't that be cool?

 Then I cut my hair off, like all of my hair. (I didn't shave my head) but It is super short. I like it, and I still don't recognize myself when I look in the mirror. But it is easier to do my hair, there is no damaged/permed hair connected to my head.

I turned 18 today. It so crazy. it doesn't even seem like I can be this old. I finally found someone who has the same birthday as me. But even if I never did I know my ward buddy Courtney King would be the best day older than me - birthday buddy ever! We have been in the same ward for 13 years. It is crazy.

I am working full time and going to school full time and there never seems to be enough time to do anything. But I love staying busy.

I got to see Shiloh and Zara this week. She is so big. All of my niece and nephews are so big and so smart and I am so proud. I love them. :-)

My great friends Kenzie is dancing for Utah Regional Ballet and they has a performance last weekend and she was so fantastic!

General Conference was this weekend and it was so good! My favorites included:
Pres Monson - saturday announcement and sunday morning talk
Jeffrey R. Holland -Disciples and fishing - sunday morning?
Richard G. Scott- genealogy - sunday afternoon
M Russell Nelson - "The missionaries can help" - Saturday morning
"There is always repentance" - ? glasses and white combover?

There is another one from yesterday but I don't remember which one it was. 

It also got down to 33 degrees last night in Provo, burr.

Jamies also came over yesterday at 5am after she'd been throwing up all night and slept right in front of the new, big tv. and I got to go to the sotre to get her stuff. Happy Birthday to me!

My brother Taylor and his family just called and sang happy birthday. They have a great chorus over in burbank! :-) then I got to speak to Emily, Olivia and Simeon and got descriptions on Sundances' face. It was a great phone call. :-) It's been a great weekend! :-)
