Moving

Again.... I am moving into a new apartment. I can tell you one thing, I sure am sick of moving!! I haaaaate packing more than perhaps anything on earth, seriously, packing gives eating worms a run for its money... Anyway, I am moving (sniffle) out of my lovely apartment in beautiful Glendale, to a baby apartment in Pomona... The only consolation is that I get to move in with my great friend Reese Ho! So, that will definitely be an adventure haha.
I really wish I could just buy a house or afford my own apartment and just stay put without having to pack up and go somewhere else every 10-12 months. yuck, it's seriously no fun at all. Buuuut, I have seen loooots of Southern California, so that's a plus.
I'll post some pics of my new apartment next week once I'm semi settled in.

General Conference

This month for Easter I had the awesome experience of getting to go see general conference in the conference center in Salt Lake City. Cameron and I drove up on Friday, and stayed in South Jordan at his aunt and uncle's place. The weather was great, we had just a little bit of snow, but mostly sun. We were lucky enough to get tickets to the Saturday and Sunday morning sessions and the afternoon we watched in the tabernacle which was also great. It was such a cool experience to be in the same room as the prophet. As soon as he walked in the room I felt such an overwhelming feeling of the spirit and just such a testimony that this man is really a servant of God. It was so great. The speakers were amazing and I loved being there with so many friendly and smiling faces. It was such a happy place to be and everyone was so friendly, minus the guy dressed up as Satan.... I had a great time talking to the sister missionaries and talking to them about the work they do. I really want to be out there with them in the next few months, so it was cool to get a chance to talk to them about it. I also got to see some good old friends from Lethbridge as well as my cousin Tyanne who's living in Ogden going to Weber. Overall it was a fantastic way to spend a weekend and to celebrate the ressurrection of Jesus Christ on the Easter holiday.

Here's some pics of the trip:
Driving to Utah... 11 hours !!

Guitar

So my new project for the semester has been to learn to play the guitar. Thus far, this has been going really well and I have calluses on my fingers to prove it. I'm taking a class at school to learn the basics, and just the other day I learned a real live song. I was pretty proud of myself, so I decided to show Cam. Little did I know that the sneaky kid was videoing me on his iMac. What a dork. Anyway, this means I have a video of my first attempt at a song. It's a little rusty because I'd just barely learned it, but here you go:

So, seeing as it has been a few months since I have blogged, I fail! Man, I have been a total slacker at this. These two semesters have been crazy busy, so I have completely forgotten to update it. I'll do some real posts and some pictures ASAP, but this is just a reminder that I'm still alive haha.
