Salt Lake Shopping Spree!

One of my favorite things about going to school in Provo is being so close to Salt Lake City. I love being able to take a break from campus life and enjoy a night out in the big city. Last week on Saturday the 12th, Brock and I decided that we'd earned a well deserved break and what better place to take it than to go shopping at the Gateway mall, at least I thought so and I'm glad he agreed :) We headed out about noon and spent a good 5 hours there, trying on lots of clothes as well as just checking out fun stores like the electronics place, Dicks sporting goods, and this classy/expensive purse shop (nice customer service, they even offered us little cups of water while browsing haha). Anyway, we had a great time and I was able to get some needed clothing for the coming warm weather. After we exhausted the mall we decided to stop by Temple Square since neither of us had spent much time in the visitor centers there in a long time. One of them has a new large model of the Salt Lake Temple inside that is cut away so you can see what some of the different rooms look like, it's really awesome. We also spent some time just wandering up and down the square talking and looking at the various buildings, the temple looking absolutely beautiful as always. I never get tired of touring temple square and I love that I get the chance to do so a lot more frequently now.

I forgot my camera but I did get a picture of me and my shopping spoils the next day :)

Homework on a Friday Afternoon

When the sun is shining on a beautiful Friday afternoon and it's warmer outside than it has been in months the last thing a normal person would think is that it's a great time to do homework. However, this past Friday my great friend Lachelle and I had a big chemistry test coming up and knew that was what we should probably be doing... so we decided to make it more interesting. We made a trip to the dollar store and got to work. We got some pretty great looks and funny comments, but despite the nerdiness of it all we had a blast and feel a little bit more confident about our test. Here is what we created, personally I can't think of a better way to study on such a beautiful spring day :)
