I think everyone:

should read "Twilight," "New Moon," and "Eclipse" by Stephenie Meyer! They are the best books. Everyone in Idaho and Utah kept talking about how good they were and while I didn't think I'd be interested in it at all, I haven't been able to put them down! Stephenie Meyer is a BYU graduate with a bachelor's in English and I love the way she writes. I can't wait for the fourth book and this just in: they are starting to film the first movie based on "Twilight." Check them out, you won't be sorry!

New Honda, Reunion with friends, and CHICK FILA!

Not much is going on except I got to see two of my favorite people yesterday: Jessica Hocker and Rachel Spigner. We all grew up in the same stake, so that was really exciting! I also aced my midterms! Jack and I got a new car, it's a black Honda exactly like my green one.. I love it!! We're going back down to Utah for the day on Thursday with Jessica and Rachel.

And we finally got to eat at Chick Fila (which I'm sure we will again Thursday), but there's our picture by the cow:

BEST VALENTINE'S DAY!
Jack got off of work about 1:30AM(the morning 'of' Valentine's Day) and gave me some cute gifts and when I woke up at 10:00AM he was already back at work. Poor guy! But he got off about 5:00PM and we got ready and went on a Valentine's Day Date to see "Definitely, Maybe". It was really cute! Then we blew some cash on groceries and had McDonald's on the way home.. what can I say.. he asked if I wanted to go out to eat and I hate crowds!! It was so nice just to be able to hang out and not do homework! It was definitely a great Valentine's Day!

Mitt Romney

Mitt Romney has suspended his campaign indefinitely (which basically means he has dropped out). It was really sad because I am not interested in any other candidates. To read more about it, look here:

Small update

Well, my back still hurts, but things are looking up. I got two hours of sleep last night and Jack's mom let us use her car so I could get to school. I was terrified because I had to give a 35-45 minute presentation, but after much studying and prayer, I pulled it off and I'm confident I got an A. I really appreciate everyone's comments and thoughts and prayers. I have had such a hard week, but I am very blessed and our insurance is going to take care of damages as long as we pay the deductable. (It's not cheap, but in comparison to what we would be paying, we are definitely in better shape than I could've hoped for after this horrible situation.) Jack is still not going to let me drive for a while..can't say I blame him. We were both really scared and he ran on foot to where my car was. Heavenly Father is definitely looking out for all of us, Jack and I are so thankful to have so many blessings and people who care about us.

For those who haven't heard:

Please keep Jack and I in your prayers. I got into a car accident yesterday and we were sharing a car so right now we have no transportation. I wasn't speeding, I was just on a really icy road and my car slid into the other lane and I hit a Chevy Tahoe. Luckily no one was hurt, except the cars look really bad. I am extremely sore today, so after church and lunch with Jack's parents, I've just been resting. My classes are really hard and I can't make it to school tomorrow because it is a thirty minute commute, so I am just really worried about falling behind. I know I am living right and everything will work out, but please keep us in your prayers right now.

Hmmm... Blogger is being yucky and not letting me comment anyone's blog. Today was really long and I have a lot of studying to do for two big tests tomorrow, so I'll make this short and sweet.

I am so thankful for Gordon B. Hinckley and all of the work he accomplished in his 97 years. We are all so lucky to have temples so close to us and I know this was his life's work. He was such a sweet man, I couldn't help but smile everytime I looked at him. I love the prophet and I know that he is happy to be reunited with his wife, and especially with our Heavenly Father.

Thank you everyone for the really nice comments about Jack's special cake! I really am lucky to have so many people that care enough to check and see how I'm doing, it makes me feel so special! So I hope y'all are having a really great week and keep checking, I'll post some more pictures soon!
