Achieving the goal

Last year, I went to the institute graduation here in Edmonton. Because that's what you are in YSA and live in not Utah. You go to a lot of YSA and institute activities. Even the lame ones. That is where all of your friends will be. And they will have food.

Last year, when I went to institute graduation, I had a sudden desire to graduate from institute myself. Of course, I graduated from BYU and finished the religion courses there, but I've had plenty of time since then to also graduate from institute. I just never cared before.

Last year, after institute graduation, my good friend Kiera Johnson and I decided that this year we would both graduate from institute. We also discovered that we both still needed Book of Mormon II along with a number of electives, so we should take Book of Mormon II together.

These things were never spoken of again. But this past semester we both showed up in the same Book of Mormon II class. We usually didn't get to sit together because we weren't very on time. But we were both there. (One time when we did sit together, we didn't really learn anything because we kept distracting each other, so it's probably good that it didn't happen more often.) Last night, we were texting and discovered that we were both, in fact, graduating from institute. (Then Kiera said that if one of us were a boy, this could be our love story.)

Mission accomplished.

This year, Kiera and I decided there must be some power in the plans we make at institute graduation. Like they actually happen. So we should make all our important plan there. At institute graduation. Together.

This year, at institute graduation, we decided that by next year at institute graduation, we will have boyfriends. This is going to happen. It's the magic of institute graduation. Also, it would be nice if the boyfriends were two brothers. Then Kiera and I could become related to each other, and it really would be our love story.
