natalie ann: WINTER 2019

Well winter is finally over even though it kind of doesn't feel like it because it snowed a little bit today! Well it was like snow/rain but still! I'm ready for the warmth and flowers! Tomorrow is the last day of the semester and then we are leaving to Arizona to visit my mission! This past semester has been good. Cold but good. I'm kind of glad it's over honestly. I worked a lot. It's been good. I'm liking it more and more. it's crazy it has already been 6 months of working there. I've made a lot of good friends.

One cool experience that happened this semester was we were going to ward temple cleaning night. We then notice we have a flat tire and think we can't go anymore. Our neighbors come out a minute later and give us a ride. It was such a tender mercy. He was also an automotive major so he quickly fix our flat tire with his fancy equipment! The temple cleaning was amazing. I had no idea how much time was put into cleaning the Lord's house.

Nothing too crazy has happened this semester. The best thing was Ethan's birthday!! He turned 25. I love birthdays. My parents and younger sisters came into town and we went to targhee and skied with them! It was sooo fun! It turned out to be a really nice day and we all got sunburned! We went out to a korean place for his birthday. The next day we made sushi for his dinner and he has been making it ever since. My family stayed in our little apartment and it was fun to have our first guests! I had him a cheesecake. tt was way pretty but it totally fell apart but still tasted good. Haha I'll do better next year.

Ethan worked really hard this semester. It kind of felt like he was always doing homework but it will all be worth it. Besides work and studying we did had some fun. It was filled with:

- Sodavine

- Ice castles

- Hot Chocolate

- Julene's baby shower

- Sundance

- Snowshoeing to Taggart lake in the Tetons

- Jackson Hole

- Hockey Game

- Persephone bakery

- Lava Hot Springs for Madison's bday

- Red Robin trips
