Today is great because...

Today is great, first because it's Friday and my weekend is finally here!! I cherish my weekends so much during the school year and this weekend I know will be fabulous!

Reason 1:  Today started off right when I got to catch up with a great friend today. It was soo nice running into her and hopefully i'll get to see more of her the rest of the weekend.
Reason 2: I finished putting up pictures of our Oregon Reception on the blog. Woohoo!! 

Reason 3: My mom, sister, and nieces are on their way to Utah for the weekend and I could not be more excited to see them! I miss being around my family and getting to hangout with them. I'm soo excited to spend General Conference weekend with them!

Reason 4: Friday Night Football! I love night games and tonight we are taking my niece with us to the game, so it should be a blast! GO COUGARS!

Reason 5: It's General Conference weekend. I love general conference and I am so excited that we were able to get tickets. It is always such a treat to listen to our beloved prophet Thomas S. Monson and the 12 apostles, but other general officers of the church. Their spirit is amazing and their messages always hit me right in the heart. It is such a blessing to have such wonderful people to look up to! 

Have a wonderful weekend! And here is a little thought for the weekend via Pinterest  (it's my new addiction)
