Cause I love October and them Priesthood brethers.

Today is October first.


Last night, I was at the grocery store picking up various ingredients for ice cream sundaes. Or, if I get technical, I was at the grocery store walking next to someone else who was picking up various ingredients for ice cream sundaes. In other words, last night, I was in the grocery store picking up various ingredients for ice cream sundays with my hands totally free to take my phone out of my pocket and check the time.


Or something like that.

(That's what my phone said.)


In other words...

Oooooooooooh yeeeeeahhhhhhhh.


Top ten reasons why I love October I'm not going to tell you why I love October:
1. You probably love October too, and so
2. You probably already know what I'm going to say, and so
3. You probably don't want to read a list that
4. You probably have read before.
5. I have a lot of homework to do and...

Once again, you have come to ME, and thus...


My point was summed up by 0:15, but if you'd like to finish the song, be my guest.

All I mean to say is that I have the power to talk about whatever I want to talk about.



Anyway,

I'm grateful for the Priesthood, and for good men who do what it takes to hold it.

I watched the second session of General Conference today with my Grandma at her home in Orem, and I was on my way home around 5:40, when, as I grew nearer to campus, I started to see the usual wave of pedestrians who, usually, I really, really hate because they walk in front of my car without looking and....

Okay. But THESE PEDESTRIANS were all wearing white button-ups and ties.

That's one thing I never grew up with- one thing that's new to me here. Just the knowing that of the hundreds of people I see everyday, it's likely that thirty err so percent of 'em are Priesthood holders.

I love being able to see it.

And, right as they crossed the street, a great big gust of wind blew some orange leaves up and over my car--

Did I mention that I love October?
