Today was beautiful. Mom and dad had come to stay with us for the past two days from California. I missed them so much and Alyx and I are so happy that they are staying here!
We know they love us a lot and they showed us by driving 12 hours to come see us just because. They also have heard a lot of talk about my sweetheart Jett and they really want to meet him. Today they went shopping and filled our empty "College Budget" fridge because mom believes that it is not healthy to live off of ramen noodles. They also brought us cute little Easter goodies which they do every year and we NEVER get too old for chocolate bunnies and sweets!
Dad and mom were so much fun. They played football with us in the street and momma even fixed my terrible cell phone crisis. It took her three hours just to speak with the 'yahoos' working at AT&T before they were willing to cooperate. Such patience she has!

Mom and I had a really sweet discussion tonight before bed. We sat on the living room carpet and talked until 2:30 or so in the morning about marriage, Jett, and preparing to enter into the Temple. I especially love how mom is so spiritual and open to my choice in a spouse.
Want to hear something crazy? I really care for Jett tremendously. There is no doubt in my mind that Jett is in my life for any other reason than to be with me for eternity. He is a wonderful man and I am lucky to have him!
I am only 20 years old, I have dated him now for only 3 weeks (Yikes!). So how can I choose an eternal companion in such a short amount of time? I really have no clue! There is so much about him that is new to me. He has a lot of habits that I do not share. But I am drawn to him and I know that if we put our faith and trust in the Lord, we will be alright. I am confident that life will be alright. What a new and strange comforting feeling that knowledge gives me.
Throughout our discussion, mom sounded really excited. She planned out how she wants to have everything for our wedding and how she refuses to have her daughter married in a silly cultural hall (basketball court in the church) because it is “too tacky”.
Mom and dad will be able to meet Jett tomorrow for Dinner. We are going to go out to eat at a restaurant with Alyx and her boyfriend Spencer. Daddy doesn't seem to thrilled to be meeting a potential future son-in-law, but after talking with mom tonight I feel as though everything will be fine. Wish us Luck!
