DONE

Okay, So it's been awhile since we've blogged and I am VERY SORRY! We have had such a BUSY week and weekend. Let's see what is new. Institute Graduation was on Friday night and we had the privilege of having Elder Jay E. Jensen from to Quorum of the Seventy. He was amazing as were all of the other speakers. I spoke first and really struggled to get through my talk. I am being released from my Institute position on Sunday, and yes it is okay for me to say this. I've had a lot of mixed emotions with this. I know that it is for the best but its all I've done the last year and for that matter its all I've done as an adult in the church. I am just a bit scared. Jared Decker and Alana DeGooyer also spoke. Both were amazing and really brought the spirit to the meeting. Elder Jensen was our concluding speaker and he was AMAZING! I don't know how else to describe it! I had the opportunity to speak with him after graduation and he was awesome. He was so encouraging and we even had a few laughs regarding how nervous I was. He was soo personable. Saturday was the adult session of General Conference. The spirit was SOO strong. Aaron and felt like we truly got some answers that we've been struggling with. Sunday was also phenomenal! It was great! This weekend was a wonderful spiritual uplifting weekend!

So, that was last weekend and this week has been crazy! I've had four finals and two papers due in the last 3 days. I am almost done. I took my last final today and now just have a paper to write, which I should be doing but am trying to procrastinate. I am so glad I am done for the semester, or almost. I go to Centralia to fill out my benefit paperwork and am really a bit nervous about starting on Monday. I just don't know if I will be able to cut it. Just some doubting is going through my head! It will be fine.. that's what I keep telling myself. Anyway, that is about all that is going on in our life! I hope you guys are doing great.. we love and miss you ALL!!!

Oh yes, Aaron had his finals next week on Thursday and Friday and then he is done too!! GOOD LUCK AARON!
