Graduation, Endowments, and A New Car!!

Wow! Even when I am not in school I am still busy! Let me catch you up on three things that have happened to me:

#1 Graduation
I'M GRADUATED!!!!! (again) May 1 was my graduation from Weber State in Business Systems Technologies. It doesn't really feel like I have graduated because it's summer break and I am use to that. Come August I might start to feel weird with my roommate going to school and I am not. It does feel nice knowing that I don't have to go back and deal with registration and books though.

#2 Endowments
On my May 2 I went through the Bountiful Temple and received my endowments. Best experience in my life so far! The spirit is so strong in the temple! The best part was having my family there. My parents are divorced, so I have step parents, half siblings, and step siblings, but it was nice to have my biological family there: mom, dad, and sister. And to have the rest of my family there, stepmom, aunt, uncle, grandparents, cousins, and even ward family members there, was even better! I thank everyone who came, it really meant a lot to me. My sister was my guide and was there to help me every step of the way. I have been back to the temple. I went to the Salt Lake a week after I went through, and just last night I went to the Ogden. Both times my sister went with me. Now I feel comfortable enough to go by myself.

I have always wanted to receive my endowments, but the answer I always got was to wait and be patient. I now know that if I didn't wait I wouldn't have been able to have everyone there, especially my sister and mom. And it worked out doing it the same weekend as my graduation, that way my dad and family could make it down from Montana. Listen for those answers to your prayers. You may not understand the answers, but I promise that you eventually will. Going to temple made my testimony even stronger. I know that Jesus is my Savior and that every temple is the Lords house. You feel his presence no matter which temple you are in. The gospel is true! The church is true!

#3 New Car
Yep, that right. I bought a new car. It's a 2005 Chevy Equinox and I LOVE IT!!! I have been wanting a new car for a few years now, but never seriously looked until Saturday. I was actually tagging along with my mom and stepdad because he wanted a new truck. I figured I would look at them and get an idea of what I want. I actually have been looking online for a few months and when I came across the Equinox I knew I wanted something similar to it. We went to a few places and they didn't have anything we wanted. We then went to Murdock Chevrolet in Bountiful and we both found what we wanted. The funny thing was that his truck and my car were right next to each other. It's like they knew we were coming! LOL I drove it up to Monty Sunday and came home Monday and I love it even more now because it made it up the mountain without a problem! I know I made the right choice. So, if you know of anyone looking for a new car, I am selling my 1998 Chevy Malibu for 2,000 OBO. Let me know if you know of anyone that is interested :)

I will post pictures of all three events when I get home....well sometime I will :) It's taking me almost a month to post about my graduation and endowments, but even when I am not in school I am still busy. Just loving life right now :)
