Conference!!!

Today is conference! My mom is gone to a funeral so it's me, my dad, my brother and his girlfriend babysitting Alliyah. She's pretty bored since we're not letting her do anything loud and we're just all watching conference. Yara (my brother's girlfriend) is really good with her. I also decided to open up photo booth and take a couple pictures of Alliyah and me together. They turned out really cute. Hopefully my mom will get home soon so she can have a new face. Daniel left inbetween the sessions to campus to work on a project. Lucky him (well he doesn't have to baby sit). But I got her to smile which is really good! When her mom drops her off she has her kiss her so last night I wanted to see if she would give my dad a kiss, which she did. I'm not a big family kisser/hugger but I asked her to give me a kiss and got it at the right moment. So cute!!!

So last week my roommate Lindsay needed to come up with a children's story manuscript for her children's writing class. She wasn't sure what to do and I said I would help her come up with an idea since I'm fairly good at that. I looked up my writing idea site : seventhsanctum.com. So if anyone wants a good site for story ideas, this is a good one. There are a lot of "applications" to help you. Well anyways I clicked on one of them and it gave me a lot of random ideas put together. So the words we got out of it were athlete, monk, tree, given a talking to, etc. We chose a monk who secretly wants to be a basketball player. The place where monks live (monastary...) has a basketball court for the orphaned children to play. Late at night the monk goes there to play with his expensive basketball shoes on underneath his robes. The head monk finds out and gives him a talking to about it. I don't know how it finishes because it's Lindsay's story, but I'm excited to find out how it does.

I wish I could come up with cool story ideas like that so I could write a novel someday :)
