Winter Semester Wrap Up

I really can't believe my first semester of college is over. I seriously didn't realize how much I would miss it, and it's only been a couple days. Drove down to Provo this weekend and realized all the blessings I have. Things didn't happen how i expected them to at all, but honestly half is luck and half is timing i suppose- and I had a wonderful semester- bumps and all. Amongst many things here are a few I'll miss a lot:

-Living next to (or with) my bestfriend

-Having the most loving and wonderful roomies

-Dressing up for devo with steph

-Learning the new-ness of campus

-Movie nights and truck rides with Conner

-The great and annoying things of Barnes Hall

-Creeping around as Relief Society Secretary

-Cleaning Jays apartment and our crossroads runs

-Random letters from my missionaries

-Meeting wonderful neighbors (like kitty!)

-the "things people say" jokes we make as roomies

-Attempting to Skype my family with crappy connection

-Wonderful professors and afternoon classes (since I'm not a morning person and all)

-My FHE family

Annnddd here's a plethora of recent pictures-beware...or enjoy. up to you..

Workin for the Weekend

Ah one of the last weekends in my first semester at BYU-Idaho. Trying to use every second doing something. Workin on it! Can I just throw out there how cool candy stores are? Even if you don't love candy ( which would be weird) theres just so many cool things in there! I quite enjoyed it if I do say so myself.

I also got to see "Woman in Black" with some snazzy ladies. Between the screaming during the movie, kaity wanting to hold my hand every 5 seconds, and jumping during every part of the movie- I'm going to say definitely worth it.Kathyrn and I are really attractive.No big.

This was also my last weekend to be in the 26th ward, to be relief society secretary, and to walk to the Hinkley to church with my amazing roommates. I am extremely blessed. God must be good because I know I can't have done something to deserve such wonderfulness in life- but I'll definitely take it.

Bird In the Benson

So there's not much to say here except I love animals, and would definitely not be opposed to owning a parrot. Not opposed in the slightest. Pictures are fun as well. Well thats pretty much it for this post. 

Enjoy some randomness kiddos.

   

Mission Call Day!

So this Thursday was lovely.For one, it was a glorious temperature outside.
Secondly mission calls finally came!

Conner here got his call to Santa Cruz, Bolivia! Crazy huh?

So proud of these boys, and so excited! So amazed that young men of this faith will give up two years of their lives to serve the lord. To learn more about a mission, click HERE. You know you want to y'all.

19th Birthday!

Well guess who has been super late on updating ze blog? This kid...and this kid is now OFFICIALLY 19. Scary, yes? Well my wonderful roommates surprised me when i came home on Saturday night. I opened the door and they were all sitting in the dark with with house decorated, with delicious food on the table and gifts. I freaking love them so much. Also go to celebrate the day of oldness with my birthday twin, Jefferson. Holla for oldness! 

Had a cake fight, my lovely kaity kitty made us dinner, I got to see my friend Monica from home and talk about how much we miss Texas:) I got a package from my family and a wonderful card from my little sister. Officially an old beanbag....20 next year? holy scary. another year down! :)

Snow and bagels

So I'll give you a disclaimer- this is going to be a really boring post. it pretty much has no purpose whatsoever, i just thought I'd do an update on this week, and how schools going. Lots of homework, it's college. I have a kitchen to make food but I tend to find myself to lazy lately to cook a whole meal just for one person so I've been living off of blueberry bagels, and I'm rather enjoying it if I do say so myself. I went ti my first Devo this week! It was pretty grand- I'm glad we have them every Tuesday here, it's pretty uplifting. Oh and also it snowed for the first time since I've been here! snow is magical, just not all the time so im glad it didnt last too long. 

Also my next door neighbor, Libby, has one of those awesome beard hats. So cool. We enjoyed it. 

I'm super excited for this weekend, so bring it on!
