Missionaries, Basketball Players, and Swamp Things

So tonight I went and watched one of my best friends open her LDS mission call! It was so exciting. This past year has been so full of missionaries being called, heading out, and coming home. I love it. It keeps me so close to the gospel and always helps me to remember the bigger plan for all of us. Shout out to all of my friends on missions right now, though I know they wont read this, that I am so proud of them for the choices they have made in their lives to get them where they are now, and for the huge examples they are to me in my own life! These are just a few of my friends who are now serving throughout the world:

      

    

After my friend opened her call in Lindon, my friends and I booked it back to Provo to watch the Women's Soccer game against Utah. It was a great game! Super stressful since it was zeros until the last three minutes (!!!) but our cougars played hard and it totally showed in the end! Click here to read about it!

Around the end of the first half, the clouds completely shut out the sun, and an eerie fog started to set in on South Field.  But this wasn't just any fog, my friends, this fog was like a blanket of dead fish and humidity soiling everything in sight. It smelled like the lake had risen into the clouds and was hanging over us. It was bad. That's all there was to it. I don't know where it came from, but it followed us all around Provo for the rest of the night.

Right after the game,  as we were making our way out of the South Field, wouldn't you know it but I walked straight in to half of the mens basketball team. In other words, I just walked right into the MENS BASKETBALL TEAM!!! You would be correct in your assumption of my immediate course of action. I recruited my friend who had a camera and I waltzed right up to them (about 7 guys, all of which were at least two feet taller than I am) right in the middle of their lively conversation and asked them for a picture. Of course they agreed, and for the rest of the night I was on cloud nine! I was literally shaking from head to toe in sublime happiness! I don't think anyone understands what that meant to me!! Oh, I can die happy :)

                                         
I seriously cannot remember a time in my life when I have been as happy as I am right now! I have been so blessed on this journey so far, and I can NOT possibly wait for what is to come. BYU Football anyone? See you at the stadium bright and early! You know I will be camping out in line!
