My moms visit to Utah!

So we went to Temple Square after i picked up my mom from the airport! i had never taken a tour before so we decided to go for it! it was an amazing experienced! we had a sister missionary who had been a convert for 2 years, (ROCK ON!) and the other sister missionary was from spain ( i think) there were only two other people in our tour group and 1 was a girl about my age who was an investigaor, and the other women i( im not sure if it was her mother or a friend) was a member. it was an a amzing experience to share my testimony with her and my mom, who i dont think has heard it before. The sister misionary who had been a convert asked me if i had thought about going on a mission, and i told her i had 7 1/2 months untill i go!! she was way excited. i just feel really blessed that i had the oppertunity to bring my mom to temple square. there was definitly a spirit there that she was able to reconize. It made all the difference to me just to have her there with me on Temple Square! i couldnt believe how beautiful that tabernacle was! it was amazing to me that i was able to be in a place where almost all of the prophets had spoken! just looking around re-affirmed that fact that everything was built from insperation from our heavenly father given to our prophets! everything from the acoustics to the beauty all around us!
so my mom really wanted to go hiking and i didnt know where we should go, so that night we went to dinner with Rob (aka robert darling) He had mentioned that we could go Hiking in Provo Canyon! i had never been and i wanted him to be there of course so we decided tou touch base after he got out of class! Luckilly he was avaliable so we went hiking! Robert was having a difficult time getting his sweatshirt off his head...so i thought it would be a great time to be helpfull, so i took a picture! i was up on the hill and i was suprised that we could still see the Provo Temple so i decided to get a shot! its a little blurry, but i loved how you could see that it was still above all the other buildings near buy. you cant really tell that when your standing near it, but it still stands tall when your looking from above!
so beautiful! my mom just couldnt believe how beautiful the landscape was! i still get brethless everytime i walk out of my apartment! im right smack dab in the middle of "happy valley" so i am surrounded on three sides by mountains!

me and my mom walking! we look awsome in our sunglasses i know! what a pair we are! we must look insane together, a cute little white women and this big black girl! lol! i love it! Me and my mom posing! my feet were freezing! i really should have worn boots like my mom! more like i should have listned to her! there is nothing like delayed gratification comming slowly in the form of near Frostbite!

Me and Robert! yes i call him robert darling but i can come up with cute names for my bff right? i was really glad that my mom got to spend a lot of time with rob because we are pretty much attached at the hip! we wnt out to dinner twice and then hiking of course! lol! we talk every day and whenever we dont actually see eachother its like a renioun every time we see eachother! he has been such a blessing in my life! he is such an amazing guy, and it nice to have someone who i can talk to about anything! and im gusing so im going to stop! hes the bewst and i love him!so if you cant already tell i got lazy with the camera and didnt take a lot of pictures but i had a great visit with my mom! it was awsome having here her but it sucked hard core having her leave too! i think it was good for her seeing my friends and having more of a sense of what my life is like so far from home! i think she had a good time on her first trip to utah!
