Last week I was able to go to woman's conference with my Mom and my two sister's Andrea and Diana. It was such an awesome experience. I learned so much about being who I want to become and being an example to my family. I learned how to prepare for my future family and what I need to do to be organized. Also how to listen to the spirit and act on those promptings. I learned a lot from my older sisters as well. Just being around them I'm able to learn and pick up such great ideas. I hope that some day I can become a mom and wife like all of my sisters, and especially my Mom.

General Conference was sooooooo amazing this year!! For some reason I was really emotional and cried a lot. I loved all of the talks, but one of my favorite was D. Todd Christopherson. His talk was so insightful and I learned so much about the most basic things, but in a different way. It was fun to see how other people interpret things. The spirit was so strong. I just loved it!!! Elder Holland's talk was also so good!! It was a great Easter talk on the Savior and it was just so awesome! This year I was spiritually fed and I loved it! I must have been craving it really bad.
Also I gave a talk a couple weeks ago on the restoration. That is one of my favorite topics because last October I was able to go on a church history tour with my parents and sister. I learned so much about the restoration and the church and about Joseph Smith and what he went through to restore the gospel and all of the persecution he had to withstand. I would love to do that again someday....hopefully with my own family.

Jessica had her baby last night!! I'm so happy!! His name is Ryker Daniel Gibb. Isn't that just the cutest name? I've been getting really baby hungry lately. I was in church on sunday and there was a family ward getting out, and I saw all of these cute kids. I started "crying" as they walked by. I'm such a big baby, but I just felt so strong at that time that that is what I've been put on this earth to do... be a mom. I can't wait till I have a family of my own. I have such wonderful examples in my family also of moms... all of my sisters and sisters-in-law, grandmas. And especially my Mom who is the greatest Mother I know. Mom I love you!! Thank you for all that you do!! I hope I can become a mom like you.

I decided to make my blog more festive since it is the holiday season. Isn't it cute? lol. I'm so excited for Thanksgiving and Christmas. This is my favorite time of the year. I went ornament shopping last night and it was so much fun. I moved out by the way. I'm still living in orem, but I live in a condo down by the freeway. I really like it. Its so much fun. I started putting up our Christmas tree yesterday and I had my Christmas music going and the tree is going up. I'm not done yet, but I hope to have it done before thanksgiving. My favorite food at AThanksgiving is the mashed potatoes and home made gravy, cheesy veggies, and cranberry salad. I'm so excited to see my sister and her family. I think its been about five months since the last time I saw her.
I'm also going to be taking a nail class so I can do the gel nails and those cute sparkly toes, plus holiday stuff to!! I'm so excited. Its going to be so much fun!

I went to see Twilight on Saturday and it was amazing!!! I'm now completely in love with Edward. I dreamed of him after I saw it and I woke up with him on my mind all day. I haven't even finished the first book yet, but now i'm so addicted to Twilight I can't wait to finish it and start on the rest of them. Alot of people didn't think that Edward and Bella fit together, but I thought they were perfect for each other. I know i'm not a big reader, but this I like. I can't wait to go see it again!!! I know i'll cry all over again.....yes i cried.......... i'm such a ball baby. lol
I heard that the fifth one is on the authors websight so if you are done with all the rest, you should start reading it online. Anyone want to go see it with me?

I went on church history tour with my family about two weeks ago back east. It was so much fun. We went to Boston, Palmyra, Sacred Grove, Carthage, Adam-ondi-ahman, Liberty, and quit a few more places. This was by far the best experience I've had. I learned so much abour Joseph Smith and the history of the church. My testimony grew so much and was strenghtened in many ways. I'm so greatful that I was able to go on that tour with my family. This is an experience that I will never forget. I'm so greatful for being part of this church and for my family and my standards. I'm greatful for the friends that I made durring this tour and for all the most amaizing spiritual experiences that I was able to recieve.
I was also able to go do baptisms in the Palmyra and the Navoo temple. I was the only one there in both of them for a while. I was able to talk to the temple president at the Palmyra temple and I was waited on hand and foot!
