It changed my life!

I recently read the book the hiding place-FANTASTIC! I highly recommend it! It was such an inspirational book of faith! It really did change my way of thinking. You may be familiar with the story about being grateful for the fleas. Yes, that story does come out of this book...but it is so much more!! Corrie Ten Boom (the author) does an amazing job of showing us what family life is like, heartache, triumph, faith, forgiveness, and adventure are like. Do yourself a favor...and read this book! You will not regret it!

VEGAS

With so much going on here in Provo, I decided to take off and go visit Jeffrey in Las Vegas! It was such a wonderful trip!

Highlights included:


1. Eating at in-n-out. We went straight to lunch right after I landed. Yum...a cheeseburger with grilled onions!


2. I got a pair of SPERRYS at the outlet mall on sale!!


3. We went to Phantom! It was so wonderful! I absolutely LOVED it! The theater was amazing and made specifically for that show! THEN afterwards we went on a back stage tour! Jeffrey and I got a picture standing on the stairs from the masquerade scene in the show! SO cool!


4. Bonfire with smores. This probably occurred 3 out of the 4 nights I was there.


5. SWIMMING! I got a cute swimsuit that I put to good use swimming in the pool! I even got the courage up to dive into the water!


6. Cheesecake factory. Jeffrey and I went on our first date their, and every time I go to Vegas we go eat there. It was so fun!


7. Bellagio fountains and New York New York roller coaster! I loved BOTH of these so much! The fountains never get old! I could watch them all day! Then I went on the roller coaster for the first time and had a blast! I love rides and this was a really fun one.


8. Enjoying the beautiful weather and spending time outside. We were able to just sit in the backyard, go on walks, eat dinner outside etc. I thought I would die from the heat, but it was perfect!


Now i am back in Provo, and it is back to real life. I got a job working as a CNA! Hooray! I am also spending time catching up on school work. Life is good as usual!
