School, Carrabbas, The temple. :)

School started on Wednesday! I almost got all the people I wanted in my class, so im pretty content. School has been going pretty fast. Today my dad and Judi went to the Columbia temple. I heard it went well. I can't wait until another youth temple trip! For all you peole who aren't sure what a temple is don't assume it's some place where we chant weird things and dance around a fire. Gosh you wouldn't believe the amount of times I've heard that one! Too many. It's where we hold ceremonies like weddings! Temples are literally houses of the Lord. They are holy places of worship where people make covenants with God. Because making covenants with God is such a solemn responsibility, you cannot enter the temple to receive your endowments or be sealed in marriage for eternity until you have prepared yourself and been a member of the Church for at least a year. After they got back we went out to eat to Carrabbas for my early birthday beacause Judi can't be here next weekend and she wanted to celebrate my birthday with us. It was really good and the Italian guy sang happy birthday to me in italian. The I ate some really yummy cake and we took a late night stop at Walgreens for various things (conditioner, makeup, face wash, etc.) We got home and now I'm really tired! Good night. :)
