Life Update

A few weekends ago, we decided to hike Stewart Falls!  We were super excited--until we got there and it was covered in snow and ice.  After assessing our hiking shoes (or lack thereof), we decided to go on a "hike" to Bridal Veil Falls.  It was basically a stroll along a pretty path--but then Addison wanted to climb up so we all ended up climbing up!  It was really fun!  Here are some pictures...

Me at the falls--apparently this was stupid and dangerous but I didn't get the memo till it was too late!  Oh well.... I'm not dead!

Our path--you can see why I called it a walk!

We also had Eric Petersen's birthday on April 1 so we decided to decorate his car!  We were just going to saran wrap it and oreo it--until we realized that he accidentally left it unlocked (I'm pretty sure he'll never do that again)!  But it was pretty sweet if I do say so myself!  His car is still covered in oreo goop today!  Here are some pictures!
He turned 24!

Tada! :)
So... other things that are happening... well I finished my sophmore year at BYU!  It was a pretty awesome year... I'm going to miss my classes but I'm excited to move foward!  Finals week was crazy--as usually!  Above is a picture of me working on my final music project--a book!  It was a stupid project (like epically pointless and time consuming)!  It was a story about a boy who went to the market with his grandma (my teacher commented how it was "full of surprise" and I was like, "What surprise...")!  My other finals were pretty laid back too--I think my hardest was my D&C final (sad, right)?  But they all went okay!

Easter was pretty relaxed this year too!  Amber, Katelyn, Talicee, Eric, Addison, John, and I had Orange Chicken (we found on Pintrest) and fried rice!  Then we went and hung out at the park and played games.

Eric & Addison at the park... bahahaha :)
So... right now, I am at home hanging out with my family!  I surprised them with a visit... their reactions were pretty priceless.  My mom just bursted into tears and my dad just basically ignored his boss (who he was on the phone with) and was like, "What are you doing here?"  My brother was just lime, "Oh... why are you here."  Typical Matt.  I'm really glad I came though--even if it is just for a few days!  It is a nice break from Provo.  Here are some pictures of me surprising my mom at her work.  They're from my Aunt's phone b/c I'm a loser and forgot to bring a camera with me.
