| Lights at Temple Square |
Camille, Jessica, and me
They had way cool lanterns outside and they way they were all lit up looked so pretty but my camera didn't any good pictures with them all lit up but this is what they looked like.
I'm very found of this angle of picture. Just the winter atmosphere is awesome!
After this picture Camille and Jessica kept trying to get in this one couples picture who were sitting in front of us a little bit and they kept kissing for their pictures so it was pretty entertaining until the guy turned around and we had to scurry away.
This tree was massive and SO bright that if you looked at it for too long you could probably go blind haha.
Conference Center fountain
Camille is like pro at jumping pictures. This was definitely the first try and everyone after that she was in mid air as well.
This one is just funny because it almost looks photo shopped and you can't see one of her legs haha
Jessica on the other hand is like me, nearly impossible to time the jump right haha
and then she fell.
Camille's face is just awesome.
and I look like I'm falling here and Jessica looks like a monkey haha awkward.
As we were going back to the car I looked up at the Conference Center and realized that all along the back side of it are trees on each little level.... Jess says its so it will blend in. haha.
Okay so more about the night:
*As we drove up to Salt Lake, there was a man running along side the freeway, like in the shoulder. In full running gear. It was odd.
*We also are really good at blasting amazing music and bein crazy and singing super loud and doing crazy car dancing. It's the best ha

*When we went to pick up Jessica (she is living at her cousins house in Thanksgiving Point) we had directions and drove right past it to the very end of the street and thought we would never find it only to discover that it was the very first house on the left... ha.
*Camille's iPod decided to be temperamental and as we got closer to the city she had to hold it up in the air in odd directions so that the radio station wouldn't get all fuzzy. Highly entertaining as she was driving.
*Her car is also like a vortex. It eats things. Like my phone. And it is nearly impossible to find them.
*After finally finding a place to park next to the Conference Center, we decided to get food first because we were starving. So we started walking down random streets (its really inconvenient that the mall is no longer there because its harder to find places to eat without it) Until ending up at Carl's Jr. Mmm the bacon guacamole burger there is SO good. Then we proceeded to stuff ourselves super full and were going to ride tracks back to Temple Square until we realized we were a lot closer than we originally thought. Some random guy asked us for money as we were walking so that he could ride trax back home..... but we didn't have any cash or change, and plus, he was dressed in way nice clothes so it was kinda sketch as to how serious he was about not having any money or anything. Then we finally ended up back at Temple Square after going by some interesting and kinda creepy old abandoned places. Gotta love downtown.
*After a magnificant time at Temple Square with amazing amazing friends, we started heading home, but the Jazz game had just ended so traffic was a little hectic and instead of turning on 500 S, we ended up just keep going south on whatever street that was haha and ended up in way sketch-ville. All of a sudden the road just kind of made a way sharp turn because of the trax and as we turned it got a little freaky ha. After a few turns and a bit of creepy feeling, we passed the massive new Walmart that is like 5 times the size of any Walmart I have ever seen. It was kind of disgusting. ha. Then we finally made it back to Provo :)
It seriously is so great to have amazing friends. I'm sad Jessica is going back to Idaho next semester so we won't really be able to hang out but it's been great hanging out with her this semester.
I really do believe in tender mercies from the Lord as well. When I first moved to Provo I was a bit worried about going to a new ward and not knowing anyway and having it be a hard adjustment, but the very first Sunday I was there I met Camille and since we are both residential's in our ward we became quick friends and she has been such a blessing and answer to prayers. As we were driving to Provo we were just talking about all kinds of things. it's so great to have friends that you can talk to about anything and who understand what you are going through and that you can have so much fun with. (As it turns out Camille is in the same major as me! ha) It was such a great evening and I am so glad that I was finally able to go see the lights at Temple Square because I have never been before and it was truly so incredible and such a great experience. I definitely will be going every year from now on :)
