Historic Provo Tabernacle

 

 The historic Provo Tabernacle burned down this morning. It's crazy to think that I was just there a few weeks ago for a special regional conference, sitting just feet away from the beautiful pipe organ, amazed at the gorgeous architect. I remember driving down University Ave and always thinking that I wanted my house to "look like that." They are still unsure of what caused the fire, but after the roof collapsed in around 6am they knew the chances of saving it were extremely slim (Full story on ksl).

I've never felt so nostalgic over something like this. Is it odd to say that I really hope it wasn't arson? We've had enough church buildings vandalized, please not this one too. I am interested to see what the church decides to do with it, especially if they decide to rebuild and what the new building will look like. Gosh, sorry I'm still so in shock, all that history just gone...thankfully it was just a symbol. Everyone will always have their memories and stories. I'm glad I was able to attend regional conference there even if it was just once so that I could see how beautiful it was on the inside too.

First football game of the season

I weaseled my way into going to one of the Cougars' games with my roommates Ashley and Kaycie. It was hot, we had seats waaaaay high up and I of course, forgot my sunglasses. We lost, no biggie. I only go to BYU games for the social anymore. The highlight of the whole game may have been walking home, which took over a half hour since our house and the stadium are on opposite sides of campus.

Half way home!

By far the best moment- taking this picture. That or when Kaycie fell asleep during the game :)

One time...

One time this summer my friends and I took a really cool picture

PS, you know how I'm wearing that blue bandana? Yeah I almost got jumped for wearing it on the strip. Good thing we were almost to the car and we had Parker with us. I'm serious! This guy walked up all in my face and said "Yeah! You wear dat blue boy!" (or something like that) I thought he had been talking to Parker since I am clearly not a boy, but nope he meant me. Great for all I know I probably flashed him some gang sign or something

You may have to reteach me

Been so long since I've written a school paper that I forgot how to go about double spacing my document

Planners & Calendars

When I was home last year I saw my mom's calendar and I thought it was ingenius- it had about five columns for each day so you could have each person have their own section or split subjects up. I am now completely in love with their planners, it's easy to separate classes and work schedules but they're all still there in one place. Plus it has a bunch of to-do lists to rip out and all theses other cool features.

Background?

Also, I cannot figure out whether these picture backgrounds work or not. Suggestions? I tend to just read everyone's blogs on Google Reader so the background never affects me, but if it's too hard to read mine I'd like to know. Although the picture is pretty cool
