Miracle of Forgiveness

So tonight i went to Madison's institute class with her and oh my gosh.... it was so good! I guess I'm used to my class which is mediocre, the teacher isn't that great and the class is really quiet. When she asked me to go with her, i was hesitant because i didn't want it to be like my class. but i went anyways and I'm so glad i did. Her class is "Miracle of Forgiveness" and her teacher was SOOOO good, I'm definitely going to try to take from him next semester. 

But anywho, he talked a lot about goal setting and knowing what we want to do in life and accomplishing it, and then he went on to talk about marriage and why students today aren't dating/getting married how they used to. We figured the reason for this was most people are too selfish, they want to continue going to the parties, or hanging with the boys, or the girls are too picky on what they see. So as i was uplifted by this wonderful class, i thought i'd share some of my favorite quotes from it with all you!

"There is an old man up there ahead of you that you ought to know... whether he is miserable or happy depends on you. For you made him. He is you grown old."

"Maybe we didn't realize the importance of the Holy Ghost until we missed it."

"No amount of time in front of the mirror will make you as attractive as having the Holy Ghost with you." (Sheri Dew)

Aren't those just great! i loved them when  heard them and i had to share them with everyone! And also below are pictures that were taken 2 days apart! Its definitely beginning to look a lot like winter. but i think I'm starting to enjoy it because it gets me excited for The upcoming holidays!

"HOWL"OWEEN

This weekend was eventful to say the least. Shauna and her roommate Sydney came down to party the Utah State way at the HOWL. Before they got here my friends and I made cornbread and chili and had a yummy dinner to start the night off right and then we all got ready to go! It was a way good halloween night. Then Saturday we woke up kinda late cause we didn't go to bed until 4:30, went to lunch at firehouse pizza and then headed towards Aggie ice cream... delicious! :) Then shauna and sydney left and later saturday night i went to another halloween dance party at this house. It was SO much fun. Everyone was dressed up again and there were so many people i knew and i also met a few! i love dance parties, they are honestly so much fun to me. Then today we had stake conference today which was way good, and now i'm debating what to make for dinner and whether or not i should take a nap. I love weekends like the past few, they are just so fun and it makes me realize that i'm so glad to be here at USU having the time of my life!

shauna and i... sisters!

my girls. They are all so fun and we get along SO well. love them.

college days=best days!

This weekend was way fun! :) i hung out with the girls from the 4th floor all weekend long. i love them. Saturday afternoon we were walking out to go to the football game, and as we were in the parking lot this conversation took place. 
ry: "A raspberry milkshake from bear lake sounds so good right now."
everyone else: yeah it does
ry: should we go?
talia: yeah.
ry: ok, lets go.
Then we all got in this girls car and drove up to bear lake it was so fun to just take the afternoon off in a way relaxing place!
