take a knee

Did you know? 

When a male penguin falls in love with a female penguin, he searches the entire beach to find the perfect pebble to present to her.  And when he finally finds it, he waddles over to her and places the pebble right in front of her feet.  Kind of like a proposal. 

Yes. I am engaged :)

ColorMeRad 5k and Tulip Festival

Seriously. Such a fun day.  

They're going all over the U.S!  

If a race is happening in your area, DO IT!

Good. Better. Best.

We have to forego some good things in order to choose others that are better or best because they develop faith in the Lord Jesus Christ and strengthen our families.

- Elder Dallin H. Oaks

My list of things to do in life is miles long.  Recently I have realized that it may not be possible to finish.  There is absolute truth in Elder Oak's statement.  Sometimes, we have to give up dreams in order to pursue others.  And while it is sad to see those dreams float away, we look towards the future at the bigger and better things that await us, and smile.

Well I am definitely smiling.  

Life has been so good to me. 

And while some dreams have been given up, 

others are coming true before my eyes.

I couldn't be happier

Tonight, Stephen and I were able to attend BYU Ballroom Dance in Concert - Stripes and Stars

This was a lot of fun for multiple reasons: 

a) Dancing

b) ENGINEERING!!

say what?

Engineering? 

At a dance concert?

Yes. 

The Ballroom Dance Company teamed up with an Electrical Engineering Department senior project team to design some of the coolest lightsuits, syncopated to the music.  This teamwork made the homepage of the BYU website! Woot woot!

I'm not doing my senior project until next winter (I'm saving it until the bitter end), but if this one is still in existence AND I decide not to use my research for some reason... then I hope to be on the BYU Ballroom Lightsuits Senior Project. 

The concert was awesome.

Of course it was, BYU Ballroom Dance Company is one the best amateur ballroom dance teams in the world.

  If you have a chance, there are two more performances tomorrow!  Buy your tickets here :)

Oh wouldn't it be nice :)

You know it seems the more we talk about it

I LOVE General Conference. 

It's a nice relaxing weekend full of wonderful speakers and yummy food.

The only problem is, 

I sit and eat. 

For 4+ hours. 

Saturday.

and Sunday. 

and now I feel pretty dang fat and lazy. 

Its definitely time to start the LGN diet.

*thank you Rem for the inspiration* 

I'm heading to bed now

8:00 pm, say what?

Getting up early, 

Gym at 6:00

Class at 8:00. 

It's time to LGN.

How was your conference weekend?

Author Unknown

Not really author unknown.  Its either Dr. Seuss or Robert Fulgham.  But I wasn't going to get into that debate.
