Baptism Weekend & Cousins

Saturday night after my testimony, Larissa spent the night with me. I obviously had a lot on my mind and forgot to take a picture. It was great to have her here with me though.

Sunday night after my baptism we had a singing at our house. It was great to have so many of my aunts, uncles, and cousins there, plus a few friends.

Although I was exhausted from the weekend, after everyone left the singing, these girls stayed to go on a walk and chat, and Ellie didn't end up leaving until 12:30. I got 4 hours of sleep that night, with a test in the morning. God definitely provided for that test like I needed Him too! There's no way I got that test score on my own! I think it took me the whole next week to catch up on sleep from the weekend. It was so exhausting, but such a blessing!

Kendra came over on Saturday before my testimony and gave me these roses with the verse, "Though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be white as snow." It was so sweet and special... and I LOVE receiving flowers.

I was so THRILLED that Katie May got to be here for my baptism weekend. Although she was here for a very short week, the 4 of us cousins got to hang out one night.
We went out for Chinese food(where I got teased and a bit scared :) and then went back to Jenna & Jamie's for a bit. Katie and Jamie came home with me and spent the night at my house because Jenna had school the next day.

It was way too short of time to be with all of them, but specifically Katie... I hadn't seen her in 10 months! It definitely wasn't enough time to catch up.

BUT! Guess what?? This afternoon I bought plane tickets to go to Mexico two days after Ellie's wedding. I'm so excited to just hang out with them for a week and a half.

The bad thing? 4 days after I get back from Mexico I start school again.

This summer is going to go by way too fast! And here I am wasting it on my blog! :)
