Man, it's been super busy this week. I presented my prospectus on Friday for my master's thesis. It went pretty well, and I was quite happy that it was over with. Now I just need to get my prospectus slides onto paper :)
I Celebrated the presentation by packing up and going to St. George with Katie Jones on Friday night. Grandma Rice just got called to serve in the Cleveland Ohio Mission so she was giving her sacrament meeting talk. I've grown close to her in the last few years since visiting so I am like family now.
The ride down was quite eventful as we reverted back to our immature years and participated in some prank texting. Saturday morning we were able to enjoy the wonder of southern Utah with a nice bike ride on BearClaw poppy -- our favorite mountain biking trail. I went once with Katie and once with Trevor, her little brother. By the end of the rides, I was quite sore, and promised myself that I would buy a new bike soon. I'm currently emailing KSL sellers for one :) Great weather and great memories.

Church was great, and I loved hearing Grandma Rice speak. She is such an awesome lady who has helped so many people in her life. She had 9 kids and was widowed at age 50 or so, but all her kids have turned out so great!!! I love how they are so uplifting of each other and never tear each other down. The way they observe the Sabbath is also very similar to how I like to, so I feel comfortable there. Great afternoon and I got to chat with the parents for an hour in the sunshine -- I think I got a tan too!
