temple square + not blue hair

today turned out to be a really nice day!

1. relief society breakfast

this morning, we had a relief society breakfast as a before finals get together. we got to talk, eat, and enjoy the christmas lights in kailey's room. it was super fun!

2. homework

i actually got homework done today. usually i'm bad at doing homework on saturdays...but today, i forced myself to actually do it. i'm almost done with my linguistics project. RELIEF. 

3. friends

today i got to spend the evening with heather, karen, brooke, baby j, and alec. we drove up to salt lake and walked around temple square to see the christmas lights. it was sooooo pretty!! i love christmas lights :)

4. the christmas season

walking around temple square was a wonderful time for me to think about the real meaning of christmas. there were so many nativity scenes all around the square, and everything about the temple grounds reminds us that christ is at the heart of christmas. he is the reason we celebrate.

this is kind of a funny shot of a statue of christ's hands...but it really shows how much he went through for each of us.

5. i don't have blue hair

kind of random...but we're watching bride wars right now. and i'm grateful i don't have blue hair like liv. because that would stink.

good night!

ps i did blog yesterday. i just got lazy and didn't tell anyone about it.

pps i also got a letter from david today. that was happy! i love missionary mail.

ppps here are a few more good ones of tonight. heather took all of these and i'm stealing them.

brooke, me, baby j, heather, and karen
