The Rescue--Invisible Children

I have been involved in a club this year called Invisible Children. Invisible Children is a club centered on raising awareness for the war that has been going on in Uganda for 23 years now. The war was started by a man named Joseph Kony who rebelled against the government and began abducting children and turning them into soldiers. Invisible Children was started by 3 guys who went to Africa on a trip and discovered what was going on and wanted to do something about it. Yesterday was our event called The Rescue of Joseph Kony's Soldiers. What we did was "Abduct" ourselves for in hope that we would be rescued. We met at the University of Utah and walked 17 blocks to the Gallivan Center in Salt Lake City. When we got there we wrote letters to people in the government and waited to be rescued. In order to be rescued we had to have the media covering our story and have an important political figure come and say they were in support of our cause. We got rescued within 2 hours! The mayor of Salt Lake and Congressman Bob Bennett came.. it was awesome! It was a way fun event :) I am so glad that I can be involved in a club that is trying to make a difference in this world!

27 Dresses

The easter eggs we decorated a while back :) 

My roommate came up with this cute idea to wear our dresses from back in high school and watch 27 dresses together. It was hilarious taking the pictures! 

As you can see we enjoyed taking these pictures :) 

I laughed so hard that i split a seam in my dress!!!! 

Pics with the roomies

I move in 2 weeks! It's kinda crazy how time flies when you look back at things.. in the moment I felt like this year would never end, but now it's the last week of class! I have enjoyed my roommates this year (well most of the time.. we are girls, so there can be drama!) I am not living with any of them next year so I am going to miss them! Here are some recent pictures.. 2 of my roommates are missing in them.. The top picture is Nicole, Heather, me and Emily at Heather's bridal shower.. Nicole made her a cute card in the shape of underwear :) we humiliated her of course haha.. the bottom picture is me, Nicole and Emily before stake conference.. I love my roommates and i'm gonna miss them! 

Church pictures :)

So I have been looking for a good picture of the Logan temple to hang in my room next to my picture of Christ that I have, and I found it today in Deseret Book in Layton!! I love it :) I also found another picture in there that I fell in love with and want to have so bad.. that's the next one on the list for sure!!!! 

I know you can't really see it, but it is called Refuge from the Storm.. I love it :) 

The newest picture on my list.. it is called Worth of a Soul.. I have this huge passion for Africa and this picture is just SO beautiful to me! I love it so much.. :)

I love church pictures! I bet by the time that I am married I will have this huge collection of church pictures :)

And the winner is....

ME AND HEATHER! This year my roommate Emily got me into March Madness! It was way fun, cause well I have a bit of a competitive side to me ( i think i get it from my daddy!), and i actually found that i enjoy watching basketball! Yes it's true, when I have a team I am rooting for I will sit in front of the TV for hours watching a game (think it's from my dad too, but also mom cause she loves getting into games too!) So we had a bracket challenge in our apartment, and my roommate Heather and I tied! I also predicted who would take the whole thing, so that was exciting! Pretty much i became a fan of march madness! I am sure I will get into it from now on.. it was also fun cause it gave me something to text my dad about randomly :) All in all it was a way fun experience! And my competitive side is kinda glad I did so well at predicting!!! 

ER Visit/ April Fools Joke Gone Bad

I've been meaning to blog about the lovely visit to the ER we took on Saturday.. Emily was having stomach pains, so we ended up heading to the Logan ER.. so we get there and get her checked in and she was starting to feel better, but we stayed just to make sure all was well. I got to witness Emily's first trip to the ER, first x-ray, first IV, and first ride in a hospital bed.. it was quite an eventful night. We were sitting there laughing for the 2 and a half hours we were there. I'm sure the doctors were wondering if we had been smoking something prior to the ER visit or something. Some crazy hospital worker man started hitting on me when Em was getting her xray.. kinda weird. Emily ended up being just fine, so we pretty much just had an entertaining saturday night :) 

So as you all know, it was April Fools Day yesterday and i'm not usually a prankster, but i felt like getting Emily. So Emily has been on a few dates with this guy Jared, and we have this unwritten rule that we just don't date the guys that each other date.. so I send Emily a text saying "oh my gosh, you will not believe who just text me! Jared! He wants to take me on a date!" She wrote back and said "oh fun, what are you doing?" and i said dinner and a movie.. and she seemed like she was doing okay with it, so i came home from work expecting to play with it for a few minutes and then just laugh and scream April Fools, but Emily walked out of the house when I walked in. I told my other roommates that it was all a joke, and one of my roommates FREAKED OUT on me.. I told Emily it was a joke and she laughed and said it was a good joke. Unfortunately a funny joke turned into a huge fight between another roommate and I. I have decided I am not pulling an april fools day joke again because it was way more emotional than I ever expected. Not a fan of april fools day.. 

Aubri tried to trick me into thinking she was engaged.. i don't fall for her pranks haha. She is the queen of pranks though, gotta hand it to her! :) 

I get to go to Salt Lake this weekend to watch my little sisters dance and spend time with mom :) that will be fun! Time to go shopping for mom's birthday present! :) It's also conference weekend! I love conference, and I am excited to hear the talks ( and eat abelskivers of course!)
