Weekendness

Here I am, procrastinating yet again.
No worries, I only have three tests, one paper and 2 finals I should be studying for. It's not a big deal, haha. So, I think I blogged early Saturday morning. Well, let me fill you in on the rest of my weekend. Britt came over and we went to Wendy's for lunch and caught up on each other's lives. Then, we went over to Jake's for like 3 hours and watched football and hung out. Oh boy, it was fun. Then, I went home, got ready and Leanna came and picked me up. We went shopping for Adrianne's bridal shower - at Victoria's Secret of course! Then we headed on over to the shower. It was so fun, and it was so good to catch up with my MG's. I haven't seen them in such a long while. We're planning on heading up to Temple Square this Thursday night which I am so excited for! I love the SLC temple, and I absolutely love the lights up there, so gorgeous. Pair that with my favorite girls ever - it's going to be a fantastic time :) After the bridal shower I went over to Amy's where Mel's birthday party was in full swing. We had a dance party, got a little crazy, you know, the usual for my ward. Me and Honka had a good (and serious!) conversation about 'intimacy in marriage' haha, and Brad showed off his mad dancing skills - to Britney Spears of course. I got home around 1 ish, then talked to Dani until like 2.
Sunday was awesome. We as a presidency gave a lesson about Visiting Teaching and the importance of it. It went really well, and each of us got across the message we wanted to, and in the right mood. The Spirit was definitely there. During Sunday School, I caught up with my ward besties (Riley's now officially in the ward!) and we all sat together and kicked each other's chairs and tried to be reverent. Sacrament Meeting was Fast and Testimony meeting. I wasn't planning on getting up this Sunday, but while the Sacrament was being passed, and I was praying and rereading my Patriarchal Blessing, I got some answers to prayers, and my heart was so full, I just about sprinted down to the pulpit as soon as I could. Ok, not really sprinted, but I just felt like I had to bear my testimony.
I really am so incredibly grateful for all that the Lord has done for me.
He helps me through each and every day. I have come to rely on Him so much in the past year. It's really amazing just how much He knows each and every one of us. He loves us so incredibly much. I hope to be the daughter He expects me to be. I'm also so grateful for the Atonement. SO grateful.
Testimony's are amazing. The power and Spirit they bring into a room are so strong. My ward is so amazing. I love it so much.
Anyway, so after Church, we had our Presidency meeting. It had been a few weeks since we have all been together, so it was so great to catch up with each other. I absolutely love and adore those girls. Lili, Mallory and Corinne. Each of their spririts is so strong, I love these girls. And Sister Jeffs also, she is a huge example to me.
Then of course, later that night was the First Presidency Christmas Devotional, which is always great. I love our Prophet, and other Church leaders!! Jay came over and watched it with me and Dani, then later Kyle came over just to say hi. Thank goodness for Home Teachers!
Wow, I think that's about it. I was really on a Gospel high yesterday, I loved it!
On a more temporal note, ONLY THREE MORE DAYS OF CLASSES!
Yes, I am excited. You should be too.
Ok, on to studying.
