So yesterday marked the fourth year since my father has passed away. I wasn't sure quite what I should do, because I was all by myself. I prayed about it and I ended up having actually a really good day. I baked chocolate chip cookies, because I always remember my dad eating the cookie dough while my mom and I were baking cookies... and she would always get mad at him... Then Kelsie (my roommate) and I watched Bedknobs and Broomsticks because I always used to watch that with my family and it tends to remind me of my dad. Then I went to the Provo temple. That was so cool because I was able to take pictures (below) of the temple... I think our temples are so pretty. But I took a few pictures of my CTR ring at the temple because it is so special to me. My dad actually ordered my ring for me a few days before he passed away and I didn't know about it until it came... so I guess you can say that it was his last gift to me. Then I came home and watched The Princess Bride with John and Kelsie. A great ending to a hard but rewarding day. Then today I got up the nerve to give blood! AHH! I am so afraid of needles... and I figure that I need to get rid of that fear if I want to become a nurse. And, my dad always used to give blood because we have a rare blood and he felt it was his "duty". So I made him proud the last couple of days and I know that he is proud of me for being at BYU... so there... my last two days basically in a nutshell...
