Mom doesn't like olives, so I only made half of the pizza with olives. I think the food was pretty good for my first try and I'm sure it will only get better as I practice. I joined this work out program that my aunt is already doing this week. I worked out with a trainer today and I am pooped. I was so exhausted about 10 minutes before we stopped for the day! I'm sure it will all pay off though! I am now living with Chelsea which is interesting. It is really hard not to have Meredee and Anna around, but sometimes me and Chelsea can get along enough to watch a movie or work on her dress. That's right I am making her a dress. She desperately needs one and she wants it for her birthday (obviously early). She also wants curtains in the kitchen and living room (which she voted that I make! Go figure.) She wants to make a patchwork bedspread and curtains for her room, but she is just not starting.

Mother's Day
Well last week on top of working, doing my practicum, painting apartments and working out, I managed to sew a bag (which my roommate Anna gave me the stuff for my birthday and I'm barely getting to it!) and an apron. My awesome neighbor gave me a cookbook of fantastic recipes that she makes and so for Mother's Day, I made homemade pizza and breadsticks. This is me in my apron and the yummy food!

The good and the hard
This last week has been crazy!!! It was finals and I had 2. I did good on one and not so good on the other. We have also been preparing for the pageant (which was yesterday). It was a crazy, but fun day. We were all there and got to interact with the girls as well as help any of them who wanted some pointers or practice. They are awesome girls! They all did so good and there were 10 contestants. There are 5 winners who reign equally and each get scholarship money. (Maybe some of you remember from when I was in it....) This year each girl got $1000!!! It was really cool to see some of the shy girls really work hard and portray themselves to the judges and the audience. It was an amazing set of girls and they worked really hard! Today was a bit of a difficult day for me as I had to send my two favorite roommates in the whole wide world home for the summer. Yes, they are coming back in the fall, but we have become such good friends that it is already quite and lonely around my apartment. Chelsea moved in tonight..... I'm still not sure about this..... but it is just not the same as having my fun friends/roommates here everyday. We went to dinner one last time and then we all went our separate ways. My way was to meet my parents and go to their adult session of stake conference. Elder Russell M. Nelson is here for their stake conference and we got to go hear an apostle of the Lord speak to us. My dad saved us great seats in the middle of the 5th row. I could really see their faces and hear their words. The spirit was so strong and the feelings so amazing! So all in all it has been a great week, but very hard!
