This is the beginning of the tree. The idea is that everyday you write on a leaf something that you are thankful for! We've had a bunch of people over since the tree was made and we were making up for the days in November that we made so our tree is slowly gathering leaves! Now it looks like this...
We have had so much fun with it already! I can't wait fot the tree to grow! If anyone wants to contribute a leaf to the tree let me know! :)
Moving on in the month, last Friday we had a sorority temple night! We were supposed to go to the Salt Lake Temple but because of the protestors and a lot of consideration, and a lot of phone calls between me and the sorority president and our advisors, we ended up splitting up our group and going to either the Jordan River Temple or Bountiful. We didn't want to chance anything down town but we also didn't want to let the protestors keep us from going to the temple! Hopefully all of this stuff won't go much farther! Anyway, I went to Jordan River and we had a great time! This is me and Annie on our way out the door. I love this girl!! 
And this is the group at the temple... 
Cat, Michelle, Jamie, Andrea, Annie, and me! Jamie's fiance, Blaine, was with us too but he was nice and offered to take the picture! Thanks Blaine!
Then... on Saturday morning we did part of our service project for one of our activities. We dropped off bags and flyers for the Utah vs BYU food drive! We're hoping to collect lots of food when we go pick up the food next week! If anyone wants to donate cans of food, let me know!! This was part of our group hanging out in the car waiting for the other half! (We were faster than the other group, not just being lazy! Just thought I would clarify! )
The next few pictures were in honor of Andrew! He always sends me pictures and says that they "only happen in Tennessee"... well, I think these prove that Utah can be just as funny as Tennessee sometimes! And yes, that is a couch on their driveway. Because the family room would be much to logical of a place to put your couch! 
I just thought the flamingo in the yard was funny! There were actually quite a few of them in the yard! I should've knocked on the door and gotten some decorating tips for my apartment! 
And, finally, I got a calling today! I am now a ward missionary! I totally have time for that! :) But it will be good for me! I am actually pretty excited! It's going to be crazy though, the ward mission leader and one of the other ward missionaries are getting married in the next few months! Oh, the joys of being in a student ward!
The next few weeks should be pretty fun! We're all pretty excited for Thanksgiving and my roommates are finally letting me listen to Christmas music in the apartment! It's going to be a fantastic month and a half!!! :D

You are always so involved in such fun things. I am proud of you for going to the temple like you do. You will be a great ward missionary. I think you have a lot to offer people who are not of our faith.
You will be a fantastic missionary. I'm excited for you!
And I love the tree. What a good idea. I may have to use that next year for my kids. They would get a big kick out of it.
We all miss you! I'm glad you're having lots of fun though. Oh, and Andrew would appreciate the couch on the driveway. Classic.:)
I don't know what to add to what Tai and Bilary said. They said almost all of it, but, I am grateful for you. You are a wonderful example, friend, and now missionary! Cool!
Hey, aren't you supposed to be going to school?! You look like you are having too much fun! We miss you Sara! Keep up the good work!
