Attractive Couple, Are we not?

Meet Spencer. We're pretty darn cute together aren't we?

Anyways, this semester is going awesome. I'm busy. A lot busier then I thought I would be! I'm currently taking a break while listening to Spencer play his guitar at the Crossroads(he's amazing. I love it.) to update y'all (i'm wearing a button up shirt, tucked in with a belt and boots-- I'm feeling pretty cowgirl today.). I'm taking Anatomy and Physiology 2 this semester, along with a Renaissance art class. I'm loving them. I'm getting along great with my roommates, I love my new apartment. I'm keeping busy with work also. 

And I got an amazing calling in my ward this semester...

Relief Society 1st Counselor.

Crazy huh?!

I love it though, I've got great girls to work with, and i'm loving getting to know the girls we're over. 

This semester is the bombdiggity. 

PS- What do you think of the color blue? A deep blue, or maybe a navy, or royal... But blue...

New Semester!

So far... 2011 is pretty great :)

Ready.Set.GO!

2010 was a great year, the best yet. But also the scariest, most exciting, and hardest, and filled with the biggest changes. I finished High school, something I had been looking forward to for 12 years. I started College, part one of the college goal checked off (now I just need to finish it). I left the best friends I've ever had, and made some amazing new ones. I moved out, and love it.

So here are is my plan for 2011: Go to school. Complete my bucket list. Work on my goals. End the year a better person, with a bucketload of new amazing memories. 

2011 Goals

Workout at least 3 times a week (Pilates, jogging, zumba, biking, etc)

Read my scriptures daily (Finishing BoM and D&C)

Daily morning and evening prayers

Keep my Blog updated

2011 Bucket list

Go to Italy

Get into the nursing program

Dance in the rain

Learn Guitar

Or maybe Tennis

Run a 5k

Teach Emily to say “Auntie Megan”

Jump in a GIANT rain puddle in my rain-boots

Conquer my fear of driving in the snow (ha!)

Get engaged.

Kidding, that’s next years’ goal

Ready.Set.GO!

Finally, Finals!

Finals. I've heard so much about them. I’ve always dreaded them, but looked forward to them in a sick, looking forward to complaining about them sorta way. And now they’re here. Well not officially until Thursday actually. And yet, I’ve already taken 3… So I can check Science, American Foundations and Anat. & Phys.  off my list. And how many hours did I spend in library studying for them? Zero. Nil. Zilch. Nought. Why? Because two were open note, take home test. I was disappointed. I was looking forward to countless hours in the library, pulling all-nighters and forgetting to eat. Instead, this is me and Seren studying. (Well… She’s studying… I was… kinda… Does facebook and writing my blog count?)

And yes. That is a bowl of snow we’re eating. Why? It’s snowing. Again. When winter comes to Rexburg, it doesn’t leave. I haven’t seen the sun in way too long. What color is it again? Purple?

Oh, and I'll be home Saturday for Christmas Break!

Midnight Sledding

So tonight it was the lovely Hannah, Seren, and I hanging out watching Never Been Kissed…. When we looked outside at saw it snowing. Again. I swear, its been snowing daily for the past three weeks. And we knew exactly what we wanted to do. Sledding! It was 11:30 pm. So we rushed out the door. After we curled our hair, put make-up on, and spent 30 minutes getting ready…

12:00am we left our apartment and drove to this crazy campus sledding hill. This hill is ICE. Crazy fun. We spent more time on the ground laughing than sledding or climbing. Did I mention we didn’t have sleds? Garbage bags are a college girl’s best friend when she’s sledding.

So 1am we come home. Got a big bowl of snow, made hot chocolate, ate delicious biscotti (thanks mom!), and popped in another movie. Sleepover on the couch? Just maybe :)

Did I mention curfew is midnight on Saturdays? Whoops. 

Four Reasons

Why did I decide to start a blog? Well...

Yesterday, I wrote a letter to my best friends Megan and Eliza. Just about my day. A normal, average Tuesday. And I loved it. I loved how much I enjoyed writing about my average day, because you know what? It was a perfect day. And telling those I love and miss about it made it even better.

My first semester of college is almost over, five more days of classes to be exact. Five. Five more days left of the first chapter of my college life. And I never wrote about it. I’m going to make up for it with this blog. So I’ll be writing memories of this amazing semester, and of course the new experiences I’ll have next semester! (And the one after that, and after that, and you get the point.)

I love reading peoples blogs. Whether I know them or not. I’m obsessed with blogs. And I love writing, so why not write one?

It’s an enjoyable way to ignore my homework :)
