Dearest Lily and Isaac, My first semester back to school is officially over! I spent hours and hours studying for Chemistry on Monday and Tuesday morning I took my Chemistry final on Tuesday - got 89%. I was hoping for better, but I think it will get me an A-  ... hopefully Jacob's fiance, Katie, had a bridal shower on Tuesday, so I drove down for that.  I love her!  She is just a perfect match for Jacob and will be a fabulous addition to the family. Grandma has been sick, but she's doing better now. I played the organ at the temple on Wednesday, which I love doing! Thursday was shopping day - hopefully I got the right things to feed Lily what she wants... Emmy and I went to see the new Pixar movie - Hopper.  We were the ONLY ONES in the theater, and it was so much fun! Thursday night Emmy and I went down to Provo to see the premier of the Senior Capstone movie and game.  It was so fun!  We got to sit by Joseph and see his name on the big screen in the cred...

 Dearest Isaac and Lily, Love you guys! I had my last Biology homework assignment on Monday.  I met my study group at the Bean Museum (the one with all the animals that have been stuffed) and took a bunch of pictures of things that showed what we've learned this semester.  It was pretty fun, and the Bean museum is WAY cooler than when I took you there as kids. I had my last lecture on Tuesday.  My biology professor ended the semester by having us look at research projects on campus and emailing at least one professor to see if we could do research with them. I emailed 3.  One responded and said to try again in the Fall.  That was hopeful Joseph performed in the Acapella Jam on Tuesday, and I got to go to it.  SO GOOD!  I love that he is singing in an acapella group! Plus, we ran into Ben and Amanda at Raisin' Cane's while grabbing food for Joseph after the concert! I studied on Wednesday and Thursday It snowed on Thursday. Yes, it's mid-April, but...

Dearest Isaac and Lily, It was so strange to have the house all to myself this week. Joseph was here for Conference on Sunday, so we drove down to Provo for class together on Monday. That was fun! I had my last Biology lab and quiz on Monday - and I'm ok with that one ending  I had my last Anatomy lecture on Thursday. I'm more sad about that class ending. This week was also my last Chemistry lab - Happiness I met with a Pre-PA advisor this week.  The number of work and shadowing and volunteer hours I need are extremely daunting to me, but he helped me a lot with what classes I should take. I had an organ class this week, and I played the organ at the temple as well.  I love playing at the temple!  I got to do initiatories before my organ session and got to do a Korean name!   Dad and Emmy got home on Thursday.  It's SOOOO nice to have them home.  I was pretty lonely by the end of the week. We left on Friday to run Westwater with the Gatrell's. Epi...

Dearest Lily and Isaac, Conference weekend is the best!! Emmy had a water polo game in Springville on Monday.  I love watching her play! I attended 2 online workshops for medical career people this week.  Super fascinating!  I'm feeling a bit discouraged about getting all the work and volunteer hours I need, but grateful for all the resources the advisement center has to help me. I got to have lunch with Joseph twice this week AND he came home for Sunday General Conference Emmy and I did Confirmations at the Taylorsville temple Emmy and I also got to go to Hale to see a new musical called "Hallmarked". It was cute and funny, and I also had a fun small-world moment when I found out that the husband in the couple sitting next to us served his mission in Taichung at the same time as Dad and I! Dad and Emmy left for Taiwan on Thursday It snowed on Thursday ... it was 80 degrees earlier this week... I got to go to an acapella concert Joseph was in! So good!!! I took my last la...
