"it does not do to dwell on dreams and forget to live" -JK Rowling Harry Potter and the Sorcer's Stone

sometimes my mom tells me that i live in a fantasy world where nothing can go wrong and sometimes i really do but this past week has been CRAZY i really have just been living in reality, which has kept me more busy than i ever have been! 

so finals happened this last week... honestly i feel like that was 10 years ago but my room mates were amazing supports.  On tuesday after taking a grueling 3 hour scheduled final we drove up to whitney's house in Alpine and watched Aladdin.... it was the perfect end to a really stressful day.  

on thursday i had a really happy surprise at work.  i was able to meet a sister missionary from Ireland, that served with michael for 3 months while she was waiting for her visa to come over here to the St. George mission. Michael sent me a letter on tuesday that told me all about her, and after getting that letter i was so anxious to meet her.  when she came into the health clinic it was so exciting.  she was adorable! she told me all about what an amazing missionary michael is! she made me so excited to serve my own mission and she gave me a lot of great tips about starting my papers, and persevering through the hard times.

during the furry of finals our apartment kind of turned into a war zone, and as soon as we finished finals we had to start packing up our apartment.  don't worry lib square sucks we had a 9 am check out on friday morning... finals ended on thursday...  

you could say that we had our work cut out for us.....

so we packed....

and packed....

and cleaned.... and packed  

finally at 7:15 Friday morning that was the result and all at once my sophomore year was over, i didn't live at liberty square any more...

finally my week ended by coming home to my amazing family and being reunited with my high school best friends.  last night we went to dinner and than sat on the boulevard (in true bountiful tradition of course) and talked till 2 in the morning about everything from people we knew in high school to politics. i am incredibly blessed i can't imagine having a better life than i do now.   

so yes sometimes i live in a fantasy world, but it turns out reality isn't all that bad.  hope y'all had a fantastic week!
