Umm.. yeah. i'm bad at this.. it's only been four days.. that's not horrible, right?

Sunday was pretty great.. I got the opportunity to go see the Draper temple dedication .. well, watch it on broadcast at the Marriott Center. I struggled to stay awake during the talks, but I really loved the rest of the temple dedication. It was so cool to be at the Marriott Center, and look around, and see all of the temple-worthy people that filled the stadium. I especially loved at the end, singing "The Spirit of God". It was an amazing experience. I love Sundays - i don't think that i would do nearly as well without them. Especially since i decided not to do homework on sundays. It gives me some nice bonding time with my friends, and a day off from school. Oh.. Me, Starla, and Heidi made an omelette.. it was massive! it wouldn't even fit on the plate.. i think it was like 8 inches long, 6 inches wide, and about 2 inches thick.. lots of cheese, broccoli, and ham. There will be pictures as soon as Carly gets them up on facebook =] and tunnel singing was amazing, as always.. Steven announced his call to Sweden. yay for missions!
Monday, we had FHE - it was amazing! Brenna gave a short lesson on hope and comfort, and then Kate put forth a great suggestion: we all got "father's blessing" from our FHE brothers/dad/sons. It was my favorite FHE that we've had yet. To be able to see all of our brothers gathered around with their hands on my sister's head, blessing them with comfort and strength was really uplifting. I had to laugh, though, when Dallin gave me my blessing. Every other blessing had started out "I give thee a blessing of peace and comfort." Dallin put his hands on my head and promptly said "Dana, I give you a blessing of patience." It figures. But it's exactly what i needed. I'm sooooooooo thankful for the power of the priesthood. I don't think i'd be able to make it through school without it. Even cooler, though, was seeing my brothers give each other blessings. The spirit was so strong in the room for the whole hour.
Tuesday, not much happened, at least in my life. Went to classes, came home, did homework, end of story. I'm sure something fun must have happened .... but i don't think so. Oh well - around here, calm days are always welcome.
Wednesday. today. Pranked our FHE brothers :). We took 1500 dixie cups, filled them with water, and put them all over their kitchen floor.. we completely filled the floor! it was amazing, and there will be pictures as soon as Kate gets them put up on facebook.. exciting!! I hope they like it ;) It took us (me, kate, holly, ashley, and starla) about an hour.. and their kitchen is LARGE! (the same size as mine.. without the Love Sac). i wish i could see their expressions when they walk in..
Can you tell i'm bad at getting my own pictures? maybe one of these days i will learn to carry my camera..
