MOA...........


I love the Museum of Art...I spend more daytime hours here than anywhere else.

Here are some of my favorite reasons why I love it so much...I get to look at these everyday.













I will always love this sculpture. One little boy from South Africa said that the O is diagonal because it is going to roll off, since LOVE goes on FOREVER.











Anyways, I was just thinking about how much I am going to MISS this place in a couple months. Mostly the people...

By the way, all of us in this picture slept under that dinosaur at the museum in Thanksgiving Point. One of the funniest nights ever.

O Canada...


I love Canada...More than you could know.

I memorized the national anthem by other people singing it to me...so, if you hear me sing it and it is off tune...don't blame me, blame them.


O Canada!
Our home and native land!
True patriot love in all thy sons command.

With glowing hearts we see thee rise,
The True North strong and free!

From far and wide,
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.

God keep our land glorious and free!
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.

O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.


I suggest everyone memorize the anthem. Canadians respect you more.

When we reached the border, I kissed the ground. You might say, that is weird. But I don't think that is true.

Jen's mom rocks. "Get closer girls." Oh man.


I've never seen Jen so scared in her life. She might or might not have held on to her moms leg. Really, we were all scared. This is not laughter from having fun.

I love Canada, moose, and hockey. Go Flames!

We went to Banff, Canada. Everyone should go there on their honeymoon. It is so beautiful. There are picture perfect mountains, picture perfect people (us), picture perfect town, and wonderful accents. Remember, it gets pretty cold there in the winter. I suggest going in Spring.

Here's the deal. This is me sticking my head out of an ice castle! An ice castle! Seriously, I didn't really know these things could exist. As you can see, I was pretty happy. There was also a wedding going on at that time about 5 feet away. Also, the ice castle was built on the most beautiful lake called Lake Louise, which was completely frozen!


Here is all of us in the ice castle. Right after we took this picture, Jen almost fainted. Don't worry, I walked her over to the bench. She also threw up that morning. I think she looks like a babe for having thrown up only 5 hours earlier.

Allison and I rock at taking jumping pictures. I had been jumping normal (quite successfully for me...look at me Jae!). I decided to mix it up a bit and pulled out this jump. I thought it looked a little more exciting. You can tell by my face.

Also, we drove off the freeway on the way home in Tremonton, Utah at 11 PM. I advise to not do this because it is sort of scary. But really is was quite an exciting evening. The only thing that I regret is I did not take a picture in the huge tow truck. Thank you to Elder Hunter for picking us up from Tremonton and Allison's dad for picking us up from Ogden and driving us to Provo. Also thank you Allison for not turning the car. You rock.

Please, can I go??


I want to be wearing this.
While riding this.


To eat here.


On this street.


In this city.


Maybe it sounds too surreal, but boy do I want it to not be a dream.

JC4NES

My brother got accepted to the Jerusalem Center! Now he can buy me everything I need/forgot to buy!


Cosmo + Me = Love

One of my top five favorite moments at BYU...I got to shoot the cannon off at the last football game of the season, last touchdown, last game I would be a student. = Perfection


I have a crush on Cosmo. Seriously.

Jerusalem


My heart aches for Jerusalem. I have been thinking about it a lot lately. Michael applied for next Spring/Summer, so I looked up plane tickets to go visit him. 1800 dollars. Sad day. I guess I can't go back until I am rich...wait, that will be never. I need to start saving my $$$. At least he can get me those 20 pashminas I need and possibly some olive leaves from Gethsemene, maybe some earrings, some dishware, a new hebrew ctr ring, AND possibly a new shirt and T-shirt from my friends in the Old City. There are many things I miss but especially these places:

These crazies:

My favorite place in the world...

My second favorite place in the world...

Galilee...Have you ever seen anything prettier??

And going to bed with this view outside your own window, EVERY NIGHT.

How did I get so blessed??

I LOVE finals.

Okay, maybe I don't LOVE them, but they do fill the library to capacity AND allow me to see 20 girls all asleep on the couches in the bathroom on the fourth floor. Don't they know what disgusting germs live in those couches??!! I have also surprised myself with how little knowledge I have retained from the semester. Interesting how that happens. I spent nearly 50 hours on a research paper and I don't like it. I wish that teachers would have separate due dates throughout the semester to keep me on track...yes, maybe I should do that myself. But, I am pretty busy so I can't always achieve that. Now I only have 2 finals to go, which will still be hard, but come Friday night I am a free woman. And come next week, I will be in these two places, LOVING my life.





How much better could it get? Yes, it could always get better, but I need to keep myself satisfied. AND, what better way to do it then with Malibu beach and San Francisco!
