This week I signed two apartment contracts, registered for classes for spring, discovered my new favorite place on campus, AND met an apostle of the Lord. I've now met four out of the Twelve. I'm a third of the way there!
So first, the apartment contracts. The first one was for spring term. I'm actually just staying in the apartment I live in now with my awesome roommate Alyssa. So basically I just extended my contract eight weeks. We kind of hope that Liberty Square decides not to fill our apartment so we can have our own rooms. Not that we don't love each other. That would just be fun. So I guess that's not really all that exciting. I do always feel a little grown up signing a piece of paper that claims to be in no uncertain terms, "a binding legal document."
The second contract is a LITTLE bit of a bigger deal. First off, can I just say that I'm so lucky to have such amazing roommates? When I signed an apartment contract with my two best friends Alyssa and Kaylee, I was so excited, but also a little nervous. I'd heard so many stories about close friends living together and then having their friendships fall to pieces. I feel so blessed that the complete opposite has been true for us! We've become even closer than we were before we lived together! I just love always being able to come home to two friends who are genuinely interested in hearing about my day and I am genuinely interested in hearing about their's! We are always there for each other and just have so much fun together! I really don't know how I would survive the ups and downs of college life without them! We are definitely going to miss living with Kaylee who's off to serve a mission, but I am so proud of her and I know she will be an amazing missionary!
A couple of weeks ago, Alyssa and I decided we should probably start thinking about housing for next year. This conversation took place at 11:30 on a school night when we were both a little tired. We spent the next hour suggesting absolutely horrible ideas for places to live and laughing so hard we were crying. Just a typical night for the two of us. BUT, throughout our ridiculousness, one complex kept coming up over and over again: THE ELMS. These apartments have a fantastic location, right across from the Brick Oven. The apartments have six people, the girls' apartments were recently renovated, the rent is SO reasonable, there's a laundry room in the complex, and there's three guys buildings and two girls buildings. Perfect, yes? So, the next day we went and asked some questions in the office and saw one of the apartments. We walked out of there with our minds made up! So on Wednesday morning, I went up to the housing fair and signed a contract! Alyssa had signed hers the day before! The sweetest ladies were working the Elms' booth there and they gave me a heart-shaped cookie and they were just adorable and made my day!
I decided this year that I am going to stay at BYU for spring term to take a couple of classes and work! I am so excited for my classes! I'm taking a child development class for my major, Joseph Smith and the Restoration, and an indoor cycling class that's going to kick my butt! Alyssa and I might sign up for a ballroom dance class too!
I also discovered my new favorite place on campus. It's in the basement of the Wilk and it's called the Wall. There's couches and music playing and you can buy food there, but I don't because I'm too poor. Kaylee and I went to a concert there last night and it was so fun! There's another one this weekend that we definitely want to go to!
Finally, I met an Apostle of the Lord this morning! It was so incredible! Elder Bednar and his wife came to speak at the adult session of our stake conference! Their talks were so great! My favorite part of Elder Bednar's talk was when he talked about how if we rely on the Lord and pray for strength from him, we can accomplish everything that we want to accomplish in this life. I thought that was so powerful! After the session, he waited and shook everyone's hand who was there! It was so cool! I felt the Spirit testify to me that he was a special witness of Jesus Christ! It was such a neat experience! This has been a really great week!
