I'm Going to the Temple....

Wow- I have been horrible at updating things.
So, basically, School is going good. I have been here for about 5 weeks I believe- I am not sure, but mid-terms are next week! Wow, things are going by fast!
We have already had some snow- but it only snowed like one day, and all the snow was gone by like noon. But it has been cold lately. =[ Actually yesterday was sort of warm! Not sure how warm, but I could have been out in a long t-shirt and been fine! Sometimes I was actually sort of hot! It was probably like 50! =] haha. Although today is wet and cold and windy. =[ And raining. haha. So, thats not as enjoyable.
This Saturday I have to go on a field trip for my Natural Disasters class to the Teton dam and a lake- don't now where. Hopefully it wont be freezing- it is SUPPOSED to be 62! yay!!! =]
Umm....yes. Not to much exciting here in Rexburg. Just going to work still at 4 am, then school!
Although I did get engaged about 2 weeks ago, I suppose that is exciting? =]
I AM GETTING MARRIED!!!!
Ok, so I am a BIT excited about that! =] Haha. Joe came out for conference weekend the first weekend in October and proposed then. We are thinking about April! =]
Yes. We are Mary and Joseph. It is pretty much perfect and amazing. =]
I am pretty much very happy. =]

And the beat goes on...

Week one of Idaho is done!
Funny/ sad thing is, that it wasn't even a full week!
But it was fun! =]
Classes are a bit overwhelming....but that is how first days tend to be. Like, the teahers present the entire semester in one day and its just like, "Wow. Ok, so what is due tomorrow?" So I think I will have a lot of homework this semester- but it will be good. I am looking forward to it. =]
My first weekend in Idaho was good to! I am so happy that I have my friend Camille here with me- who is one of my best Friends! It makes life a lot easier. =] Plus we have a class together! Which is happiness too!
Friday Camille, my roommate Andrea and I and a couple other people went to a concert by a band called We Shot the Moon. Then on Saturday I got some homework done, went on a picnic to this really cool park near by that has this little water park and a merry-go round! Plus I got to see my good canadian friend Josie, or as I like to call her Anne Girl. Then we walked around main street- there was this battle of the bands thing going on, and basically we just got free stuff. I was happy I got a free mail opener. That was the joy of my day. =] haha.
Saturday night I went on a phone date with my cowboy! That was fun. =] We talk on the phone a lot, but it was funner to be on an actual date! Then I went to the sand dunes in Rexburg and had a bonfire- but bonfires just arnt the same when there is no beach around.
Today was my first sunday in my new ward- we start church at 8:15 am! So early! I am done before everyone at home has even gone to church! But its nice to have a lot of the day free. It was a really relaxing day full of writing letters, talking to friends from school and just enjoying the day. =]
In a little bit I will be headed out to do some stadium singing- and then off to bed so I can wake up bright and early for work tomorrow!

Brittany(Camilles roommate) Camille and I on our way home from the bonfire. We were in the back of a truck- because that is legal in Idaho, but it was cold!

My wall with all its beauty! And my countdown chain till conference! =]

The cat came back.....Or in this case the girl.

I am back to Idaho!
Wow. I have been back for 48 + now and it still feels odd to be in Rexburg.
My summer was great.
I didnt update here much- ehh....thats fine. I spent a great summer in Santa Maria with all my friends. Went to the beach. Ate In-N-Out more times this past summer than my enitre life combined and now I like it. Lived the life with slurpees. Got myself a Cowboy named Joe. Learned spanish. Didn't even leave the state of California from the time I got home till I left. It was just really grea.t =]
I got back here this past Tuesday afternoon, and have been slowly unpacking ever since and I am finally done and that is a great feeling! I will have some pictures up shortly. I am just trying to get adjusted to new roommates, my new apartment and the limited space, starting school again wtih 16 credits,and work from 4-7 am...once again. Once I find some free time I will take out my camera and get some pictures of the beautiful campus before the snow hits and my surroundings! =]

Home at Last! Home at Last!

Wow, so I have been home for about 25 hours now!! The time sure does fly! 

School ended for me last Thursday, Finals went well! I hope at least!  I spent Friday packing and cleaning, then Friday morning I drove to Salt Lake city- about 4 hours.  Then spent another 5 hours in a car driving from Salt Lake to where my sisters friend lives in Southern Utah.  Provo wanted to be like LA and kept us in traffic for 2 hours.  LAME, i know.  But it was a fun Easter weekend!  I was amazed that the house we stayed at had 18 packages of cream cheese in the fridge!! And I thought that 3 was excessive.....but a good easter weekend filled with too much food and plenty of candy!  

On Monday I spent the day in Provo, it was great!  It was a warm day- and so much fun, and I didn't even get lost! =]  I got to see some friends and some missionaries who served in SM. =]  A very great day. 

Then I flew out early tuesday morning, and was home by 10:30 am! =] So far I am still looking for a job....I have only been home for like 25 hours, but I need a job.... lame, i know.  But so far being home is really nice!  Seeing my friends, eating food, yum!  Flying from LA to SM was amazing!!! California is SO pretty! =]  I love seeing my Santa Maria countryside again. =]  haha.  

It has ended?

Well, I suppose you could say I am officially done with school.  As my roommate pointed out, I will never again be a Freshmen- that is a bit of an interesting and scary thought.  I am still waiting to hear about my grade for my final in my science class, I am nervous about that one, all my other classes I got B's or A's in so I am good- my science Final today was just a bit scary.

I am also currently waiting for my roommate to get home to make the wonderful journey in a car PACKED with my stuff to take it to the storage unit- pay money- put stuff in it, drive home, go to the post office, mail a package to myself, and then be DONE!  =]  All my stuff is packed, which leaves an interesting dilema as to how I will sleep tonight.....I will return to my old ways of eating at the Nordic tonight since all the dishes are gone.  I work tomorrow morning, the last time for like 5 months!!!! =]  My shuttle leaves at 8:00 am tomorrow morning, where I will then arrive in Salt Lake to enjoy my Easter weekend out of school!!!!

A year gone!!!! Wow.  Its gone by fast.  Although, it does not yet feel like it is really over yet- once I am certain on my grades and I have all my stuff securely stored where they need to be I think it will begin to hit me.

I have decided I deffinately do not like packing though- it is so annoying!!! Very glad I never had to more when I was little.  I am such a pack rat- it's a hard thing to have to get all those valuable papers together to move! =]

April Showers

Basically, it has just been wet here.  This past week it has either been snowing, raining or hailing- or something between all three that melts and gets you wet.  So, its been wet.  LAME! right?  I woke up this morning and there was so much snow outside- that all I could think of when I looked outside my window was, "Bambi".  Yep.  The winter in bambi- lame.  But, it is supposed to warm up next week- right before I leave. haha.  Yes. 

One more week- finals, scary...=[  But then Utah and then HOME! =]

A few pictures

Ya, this was my really bad bruise after Plasma one time.  It was just sorta exciting. My cookies!  They didn't turn out flat either! =]
And, my coffee cake. =] ( I still think it tastes better in California though.)

Here are just some pictures to update you on my life lately! =]

(Well- not too many really, I don't have access to all right now.  So just two! haha. )
