Visit to Utah!
This past weekend my sister graduated from college. So I decided to fly home for the weekend. I left Friday night and arrived late around midnight.
Saturday morning I made a sign that says "Congrats USU Grad!"
My brother picked me up and I went up to the USU campus. I got to hang out with my cute nephew.
It was fun watching her walk. Now we have 2 USU Grads in the family, my sister and myself.
I have a friend that lives there, so I went and visited her while up there. I also saw a friend that use to live in the same building as me so I talked with her.
They gave out Aggie Ice cream after the graduation, so that was fun and yummy. I got my favorite Aggie Blue Mint.
After we went to Maddox the restaurant. I got a petite fillet minon. It was yummy. My grandparents came and that was fun to see them.
After we went home and went to bed.

Wrong train, snow, Wicked. What do these 3 have in common?
These week was spring break and the family I nanny was on vacation so I decided to have a fun week.
I went to Times Square and met up with a friend from when I live in Baltimore and we did some shopping.
We walked across the Brooklyn Bridge and we also found Jane's Carousel which was so much fun. It's a carved, wooden, 48-horse carousel that was built in 1922. When carousel closed to the public in 1984, the carousel was bought at auction by Jane and David Walentas and moved to Brooklyn, New York for restoration. It was opened to the public at its new location in Brooklyn Bridge Park on the East River in Brooklyn on September 16, 2011. We went clothing shopping and went to sephora. We got lunch at McDonald's.
I saw my first Broadway play Wicked.
"Wicked, the Broadway sensation, looks at what happened in the Land of Oz…but from a different angle. Long before Dorothy arrives, there is another girl, born with emerald-green skin—smart, fiery, misunderstood, and possessing an extraordinary talent. When she meets a bubbly blonde who is exceptionally popular, their initial rivalry turns into the unlikeliest of friendships…until the world decides to call one “good,” and the other one “wicked.” With a thrilling score that includes the hits “Defying Gravity,” “Popular” and “For Good,” Wicked has been hailed by The New York Times as “the defining musical of the decade.” Time Magazine cheers, “if every musical had the brain, the heart, and the courage of Wicked, Broadway really would be a magical place.” From the first electrifying note to the final breathtaking moment, Wicked—the untold true story of the Witches of Oz—transfixes audiences with its wildly inventive story. It will send your spirits soaring to heights you’ll never forget. " -https://www.broadway.com/shows/wicked/story/
We sat up in the back and I brought binoculars and it was fun to watch it up close and see the different parts moving and the band. I could see the costume up close which was cool. I like the popular songs.
Saturday, for as part of my LDS religion, we have General Conference twice a year and where we listen to the prophets of our church, online or at the meeting houses, where we can listen to them speak. There are five sessions two each on Saturday and Sunday and one for either the men or the women on Saturday night. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_Conference_(LDS_Church))
Saturday I listen to General Conference with my friend Melissa for the first session. After she left and i enjoyed the Saturday.
On Sunday I visited with my cousin, on my dad's side of the family, and her husband. I went to her place in the city to listen to conference. I got the opportunity to hear the prophet announce 7 new temples and change the Visiting Teaching/Home Teaching program to Ministering.
Since we have a 2 hour break between sessions we went to Central Park and played Frisbee. It was my first time visiting it and it was fun.
Monday through Thursday I took a bus and visited my last family I nannied and just had fun playing with the kids. We went to Port Discovery, a children museum.
I did get to go to Chick-Fil-A, as there isn't any close to me in New York.
On my travel back home I made it to Grand Central Station. I've never taken a train back from Grand Central back to my New Rochelle. I look at the list of trains on the signs and I get on the Stamford train. Well, what I didn't know is that there is a express train to Stamford and I got on that train by accident. Well, what I did is got off and then got back on again. Luckily I explained to the train conductor and I didn't have to pay again.

Happy Ending!
I got to go home for Christmas break, which was fun. I flew home December 23.
I loved that Christmas Eve was on Sunday. I like it since Sunday went to church and can think more about Christ. I was able to go to my church services at my family's LDS church. There was several beautiful musical numbers and several talks about Christ and After church my sibling came over and we had dinner, and did our Christmas traditions of opening presents from siblings and listening to Christmas stories.
As the girls of the family we got matching Pjs.
Christmas we opened presents. I got a special presents from my grandma that passed away that I really liked (what was it?). When I was a child and would go visit my grandma in Idaho I would play this game that had geometric pieces and put it together called Mosaic Mystery. It reminds me of my grandma. I got a special present from my grandma that passed away this year. When I would go visit her, I would play this game called Mosaic Mystery in which I had to put pieces together to form a geometric shape. This game reminds me of my grandma.
During the week I was home I hung out with my sister in law, nephew,brother, and sister. It was fun spending time with them. During that time, I got a haircut and love it. They live in Orem,Utah. My sister and I drove down and spent the night with them.
Later during the week I met up with some old college friends. We had a gift exchange, dinner, hung out, and just had a fun time.
I did get to go see Temple Square, which was amazing. Its fun to see the lights and seeing the Nativity, Christus and I love seeing the temple during Christmas Time. I love the feeling around Christmas. I did see the vending machines talking about as part of the Light the World Campaign #Lighttheworld.
On my flight home I ended up going home January 1 instead of December 31, due to my first flight was delayed making me miss my second flight. The airline rescheduled me and I got to Phoenix and flew over the Grand Canyon.
