Home Sweet Home!

April showers bring May flowers? I’m not sure about you, but my April brought nothing but sunshine.

First and foremost, I attended General Conference. Listening to the Prophet and Apostles live really kick started my month. I am so grateful for this opportunity! I have watched General Conference many times throughout my life, but I have never felt the spirit more strongly as I did when I was in the presence of the prophet Thomas S. Monson and his counselors. As President Mon­­­son approached the pulpit to speak, my heart was racing to hear his words. Tears filled my eyes as the words of the prophet echoed throughout the conference center.

The most memorable experience happened during the intermediate hymn. I swear the conference center was shaking as the congregation of saints sang the words of “How Firm a Foundation.”

To say the least, General Conference was AMAZING! It was the most beautiful day in Salt Lake too!

School ended the first week of April, and I FINALLY got to go home to Florida! My last week in Rexburg was full of sunshine, until my last day of course. The last day in Rexburg I had so much to do: clean my apartment, move my furniture into storage, and go out with my friends for one last crazy night. So, of course it had to be a total blizzard outside. Not only was it snowing profusely, but it seemed that everything went wrong. I chipped the paint on the walls in my room, broke my closet door, and even broke the door to my storage unit. It was one thing after another. I was so relieved to go out and spend some time with these lovely ladies:

After that crazy day I was SO ready to be home! Unfortunately, my road home was a lengthy one. My aunt was generous enough to get me a cheap standby ticket to fly home. I caught a shuttle from Rexburg to Salt Lake, and then from there I traveled to Long Beach where I caught a red eye flight to Boston. Once in Boston, I flew home safe and sound to Orlando. It felt great to be home! I missed my family and friends so much!

Although it was really great seeing my family, I couldn’t wait to see my BOYFRIEND!!! Justin is in the Marines so we don’t get to see each other often. Luckily, he was able to take some time off to come to Florida and see me! Not seeing him for 3 months was so hard, but it was worth it. We always have so much fun together. I love him to pieces! J

I’ve been home for about 3 weeks now, and it’s about time I start working. I can only stay home doing nothing for so long. I recently received a call back for an internship at Clear Channel Radio. My interview is this week!!! I’m super excited, but a little bit nervous. April has been fun! I can’t wait to see what May will bring. Stay tuned!!!
