Out to General Conference

Z invited me to see General Conference live. It was a week after the color fest. I got a new dress for Easter. We also walked around temple square and then we went to B's house and had her Mom's famous cinnamon rolls. They are really good. B and I sat at the table talking while Z and B's Mom talked about their mission in Columbia. Z was very happy to talk with someone who had experienced the same as he had. She brought out a big box of souvenirs and he was super excited.

Color Festival

Unfortunately this is the only picture I could find of the color fest. I really thought we had taken more. It was so much fun. We had B, her sister, her two new neighbors, Z, and me. We first met at Z's house and then we took back roads to get there. It was so much fun. Z loved the live band that was playing and knew the people in it. It was such a fun day. I think it was fun but I think that the people around you and the people that you bring really make the experience. Most of the time we looked for B's neighbors that we lost right from the beginning. That evening I attended the LDS women's broadcast. Luckily, all the color came off. Z also attended a mission reunion that night. I was so exhausted when I got home but well worth it.

The First of the Goodbyes

 

This day was hard. Z was the first one of the crew to leave. He decided to break off our relationship before he left. We mutually agreed that we probably won't see each other much (sadly, if at all) during the summer and then after the summer was over we still wouldn't see each other since we will be going to two different schools. It was my first relationship. I am so relieved though that we are still friends. It was hard. Sure it hurt for a little bit but I think that's normal. We had good times. He is a great guy. If he is happy then I am happy. He left and we played Frisbee on the practice field. He left us his Frisbee. It was weird to see him drive away in his car and wonder when the next time I'd see it again would be. I was really okay. With those that were still around, we went to dinner at the Malt Shop. We also drove to a reservoir to eat. I wasn't there for the first picture, I was exploring a nearby hill. 

Fun day at the Park

One Sunday we thought it would be fun to go have a picnic. We found a spot across from the temple grounds. We played Frisbee and football. Then we went over to the temple and walked around there a bit. We also went across the street to a park we'd never been to, but always passed driving by. It was really fun.

A's Institute Graduation

A graduated from institute and I went to support. She loved institute. It was a great program and we took some fun pictures afterwards.

Next year my friend R is on the institute council. We went to the Friday Forum that they announced the new council and I am so excited for him, plus a little jealous. They couldn't have picked a better person for the job though.

Out to Eat

One weekend we had some of Z and C's (Z's roommate) old college friends come and stay the weekend with us. It was really fun and they were super nice. This was also the weekend that R and I went to a swim meet. He did very well and won first place twice. It was fun to watch and he's very good. I didn't try because I am no good at swimming. He was super encouraging though but all I can do is a good dog paddle. We took this picture when we went out to eat at a local Mexican restaurant. It was a fun weekend.

Group Pictures

These pictures were taken at the beginning of second semester. We tried to color coordinate but I really love the pictures we took later on better. I think that our personalities show more when we are wearing unplanned clothes.
