Well, it's that fun time of the semester again... the end. But before our professors bid us adieu, they like us to cram in as many papers, assignments, and projects that we possibly can into the last two days. That's where we are right now. Monday and Tuesday are the last day of classes and we are busy, busy!!
Grandpa saying his last goodbye.
**Conference was wonderful!! Even though I don't live that far from Salt Lake, I prefer to watch conference at home. I don't like walking past the protesters and it's just nicer to snuggle on the couch and listen to our great leaders.
And I really like eating during the entire 2 hour session. Twice a day. Yum.
Holly and I went shopping while our men went to Priesthood session. I still have a huge stack of coupons for Bed, Bath and Beyond, so we walked in and out a few times so we could use as many as we could. :D
**This is what greeted us on Monday morning, APRIL 7:
Seriously, can it please stop snowing?!?!?!?!? It snowed again on Thursday or Friday morning. It was so cold this week, I don't even remember which day it was. What happened to spring?
**We went to the Singer's/Concert Choir concert last night. It was beautiful and I missed being in those choirs! You really do get to be a part of amazing things while you are in college. I felt very strongly, during a particularly touching part of the concert, that this is it. My last chance to be a part of BYU organizations during my undergraduate career and do amazing things. Of course I will still have opportunities to do great and important things during my life, but...it feels different. This has been my life, my world, for years. It is hard to leave it behind.
**I went to my sis-in-law's baby shower today! Isn't she cute? She'll be glad when her little guy is born. It's been a rough first pregnancy. It may take her a while to forget this one!
Last Sunday we stopped by her awesome house for a visit ("thou shalt not covet, thou shalt not covet") and we got to see how her nursery is coming along. Her bedding is adorable! The walls are such a warm yellow and it feels so...happy.
**And on an ending note, I have a little spiritual experience to share. A few weeks ago we were doing our laundry and Ty asked me to grab the mail key (since the mailboxes are now located outside the laundry instead of right outside my door. Blah.) Well....I couldn't find it. And of course I was the last one to check the mail. Re-keying the mailbox is $30, so I really really wanted to find that little key! I said a little prayer and we started to walk out the door to switch our laundry over to the dryers. Tylan stopped halfway out the door and asked me to grab his cell phone which was charging in the living room. I was confused and asked him why? After all, we'd be back in just a few minutes. He said he didn't know why, but he just felt like he should bring it. I put his phone in my coat pocket and off we went. We checked the mailbox in case I had left the key in the lock or something (I didn't, thank you very much). As we walked back to our apartment, I reached in my pocket for his phone to check the time and see when we needed to come back for our laundry. And. it. wasn't. there. I stopped and started searching my pockets and told Tylan that I couldn't find his phone! Then I remembered that earlier that day I had discovered a hole in the lining of my pocket and I reached through the hole and there his phone was, sitting between the lining and the coat. Phew!! Then I had an epiphany (or the Spirit continued whispering to me). I said, "Hey, what if we were supposed to bring your phone so that it could fall through the hole and the key is actually in my coat??!!" Tylan ran his hands along the bottom edge of my coat, and there it was in the very corner!! I fished it out, looked heavenward and said, "Ok, that was really cool!!" Very, very clever, Heavenly Father. Thank you for the cool experience. And for loving me. I love You, too.

I can't believe school is already almost over! Wow! And your pictures of the snow are beautiful...it looks like you are really getting into this photography thing. When do you find out if you made it into the program?
We all know the real reason for priesthood session is so the girls can go party. I'm glad you took advantage of it. We were at a mall full of women only--getting pedicures, eating chocolate, and shopping for clothes, in essence, spoiling ourselves royally. (But it was my birthday too). :)
Great update! How fun for you to have your sisters nearby. And holy cow, I can't believe it's still so cold up there! And, awesome story about your mail key! I love that kind of thing.
Lovely photos. Thanks for the updates. I miss BYU. There are so many wonderful things about that place. Enjoy it while you still can....
I love hearing prayer stories! It's awesome how H.F. answers so quickly sometimes.
Oh, so tough to comment on 5 posts in one. Tylan, I'm so sorry to hear about your Grandma. I hope you and your family are doing well.
Heidi - Nice spread! Conference is definitely a good time at your place.
Don't you just LOVE those BBandB coupons?!? I use them on little purchases all the time.
I miss singing too. And thank you for sharing your neat experience. I love reminders of how much Heavenly Father loves us. He knows that sometimes those little things mean the world to us and he's always there to help when we ask. You're amazing and I love ya and miss ya.
Thanks, Heidi. I'm sitting here having a bit of a downer night, and you made me happy. So I'm going off to bed now; done thinking about poopy things. I hope we get to see you in person soon (we'll be in AZ in May...)!
