What am I grateful for...

First: The Temple being 2 mins away! I am going to miss this so very much! I love the temple and going there at least twice a week.

Second: My Parents!! I love them to death and I miss them so much!!! They have prepared me to leave home, but some times I wish it didn't happen, so I can be back home with them. I love you guys so much!!!

Third: My Sister and my Brother, who would have thought I would have said that. But I realized moving to Utah how much I miss them. As many of you know my brother and sister moved back home in the last months of my senior year. Witch was so hard for me to get used to, because I have just been living with my mom and dad for about 5 years. So this was weird. But because they moved in I got to know them and I miss them greatly!!

Forth: Rick, Madelyn, and Sophia! Now because I have never really have known Rick, when my sister and Rick moved in it was a little weird. But let me tell yeah Rick is an amazing man. He is so funny and I miss his sarcasm's. Now Madelyn and Sophia, I miss them so much and I just saw them last week! They are so big and amazing!!! I am so jealous of all of you who are in Madison 3rd ward, cause you get to see them every week!

Fifth: The Kingsford's, they became my second family my senior year. Brother and Sister Kingsford became my mom and dad. Shari took me to the hospital and gave me a bunch of shakes! I love them and miss them! Kimberly became my older sister that always visited! And Kendall who was my best friend became my sister!!! I miss Kendall so much!!!! And I cant wait to see her at Christmas!!!

Sixth: The Book of Mormon, I know this book to be true! and I love it with all my heart!

Seventh: My extended family! I love them so much! They have helped me through a bunch! And they give my sunday dinners! I love you guys! (oh and sorry about the pictures, I couldn't find a picture of everyone I have limited resources, facebook)

Eighth: My roommate! Now me and Anna has had some fights but I still love her to death!!! And she is one of my best friends!

Ninth: My new best friends in Salt Lake City! Dana Hudson, Erin Boekweg, and Trish Tolentino! They are all so funny and we are all like sisters!

Erin is the one on the left. That is Mindy Gledhill she is amazing!!!! Buy her CD "Anchor".

Tenth: My old ward, Madison 3rd Ward! And that includes everyone that used to live in Madison 3rd Ward when I was a member of that amazing ward!

Love Cassie

The Best day in Salt Lake City so far!!

So on Friday me and my friends wants to go to another temple on our tour de temples, but everyone was either sick or just couldn't come. So there I was all dressed up to go to the temple and know one to go with me. So I had a decision go back to bed or go to the Salt Lake City Temple?????? Let me tell you I wanted to go back to sleep!!! But I decided that I was going to go to the temple today so I am going. So in Alabama when we wanted to go to the temple it took two hours to get there. Here it take me 2 mins! Can I just say I love it!! So I usually go to the temple at night when everyone and there mother is there and it takes like 3 hours to get in and out. Well on friday I walk in and no one was there. It was so weird and AMAZING!!!!!!! I loved it!! The temple workers were so nice. Oh and I loved how there was no one talking!! So usually we can only do 3 baptisms because of the line but since no one was there I was able to do like 20+, they stopped when another person came. I loved it. So when I left the temple I was in and out in 30 mins!! So since I had nothing plained for the day I decided to stay on the temple grounds for a bit. So I went to both of the Visitor Centers and I went to this chapel that the saints had church services in and it was made out of the stones that they didn't use for the temple. It was really cool. Oh I also watched Legacy in the Visitor Center. SO GOOD!!!! It was just a spiritual day and I loved it!!

Here are some pictures of my adventures.

This is the old tabernacle, we have seen some of the Mormon Tabernacle Choir practices!!!!

This is the Christus??(Spelling) I dont know if you can see it but the mural behind it is amazing.

This is a model of the Salt Lake Temple, this is in one of the Visitor Centers.

This is that chapel I talked about earlier and in front of it is a monument to seagulls.

This is the Salt Lake City Temple!!! It is so gorgeous! I love living right next to a temple, Im going to miss it when I move away.

Love, Cassie

Interior Design Project.

So I have finished my first really hard Interior Design project. What we had to do was get a piece of wall paper and copy it exactly. I picked this bird house. let me tell you this was super hard!!! I started this project at 4pm and ended it and 5am. I couldn't stop because I was so into it. We only had 6 colors and had to make all the colors out of those colors. It was so HARD!!!!! But I am so happy with the result. It was totally worth staying up that late.

Soo.....

So today I decided to drop two classes. I decided I couldn't do it. After i did so I had my first melt down of college. It was bad I was standing in a corner and crying on the phone with my sister. Thank goodness she can calm me down. Because I had Missionary Prep Class in like 15 mins. After the melt down i knew that it was the right choose. What was I thinking when I signed up for 18 credit hours???? I think I was hoping i could do it, but i knew i couldn't. So know that I am in reality I am good. A weight is lifted off my shoulders. So now i am taking 13 credit hours. That is a big difference. So I will most likely get a job at j jill, for like 10 hours a week. I am going to go talk to them tomorrow after class. Well this is the first out of many melt downs I will write about. So I'm off to my next class hopefully i will meet some cute boys!!

my life so far in Salt Lake City!!

So I have decided to change my name of the blog to Cassieisms. It is a family joke, and i wanted a cool name. So there you go.

Well College hasn't started yet. But me and Anna have moved in to our dorm and we have gone to orientation. Which was way fun!! On friday we meet everyone, and we met some of our teachers. Then last night we had a Carnival Party thing. Which turned out to be way fun! We met tons of people and some cute boys! woot woot! During the party we met some girl from our dorms so we walked back with them, and we decided we weren't tired so we got in our pj's and made some popcorn and went downstairs and watched some movies! We got down there and there was other girls down there so we made some more friends. It was really fun!!! And today we are going off to church! There are 2 wards here, and 9 o'clock and a 1 o'clock, we are in the 1 o'clock thank-goodness!! And tonight we are having a special fireside byElder Richard G. Scott!!!!!
