Some of the Symphony I went with Ashlynd to see after the feast.

This is from Devotional when Kikuchi had Pres. Clark and
other officials sing with him, totally improvised.

This is my head lamp that fell to the floor one day and  shattered,
I fixed it with duck tape.
Duck tape is a colege kid's best friend.

My pictures are still out of order! I think I figured it out though. Anyway, the bottom three happened first. Elder Kikuchi spoke three Tuesdays ago at devotional after the the choir sang the closing hymn, "Love at Home," Elder Kikuchi got up and said "Pres. Clark and the other officials are going to sing that with me now." So that's a picture of them around the pulpit singing. We heard Elder Kikuchi's "lovely" singing the most.

I use my flashlight to get ready in the morning so I don't wake Ami up as I grab my stuff. It slipped out of my zombie-like fingers one morning and shattered on the floor. So I put all the parts back in the right places and wrapped it in duck-tape. Viola! A redneck fix-it job! And it is perfectly functional!

Then, about the pool....One night I was doing homework and a bunch of people burst in our door and started having a dance party. Some of us joined them and we went to each girl in our ward's apartment and danced around. Daniel had a Nacho Libre mask and we all we wearing fun stuff. After we danced in all the apartments we went to Shake Out and danced around and Daniel and Nick asked two girls on dates! Then we went to Subway and danced. Then we went to Rockland and while some of us were getting shoes, they were getting the cover off the pool. Elizabeth and I couldn't figure out how to get in there and everyone else jumped in. When we finally got in I was hesitant to jump in the pool. But I ended up to doing it! That was a lot of fun. We made a whirl-pool and that was crazy!

            Our “feast” consisted of homemade applesauce, made by Katie, green beans, made by Charmaine, fruit salad, made by me, and pumpkin pie, broccoli and cheese soup, and lasagna, made by Ami. Oh then Katie’s friend brought over an apple pie. =D When we were getting whipped cream for the pie some dispute happened between Ami and Melissa.  Thus the whipped cream fight.

After that I went to a symphony concert with Ashlynd. There was this one part where they went from this calm relaxing music to the immediate crescendo and the speed changed and made Ashlynd and I jump.

            Then today was the Boise Temple rededication and it was broadcasted in the I-Center. That was so cool! I felt the spirit stronger that I ever had before. I actually felt the warmth spreading in my chest that others talk about. It was amazing! And now I am caught up! :)
