I had such a strange experience the other day when leaving Rexburg to go home for the summer. As I was pulling on the freeway I said "I'm going home" and then a thought hit me, "No I'm not, home is Rexburg."
And then the mental war started.
I fought back and forth. Home is where my family is, where I grew up, where my room is filled with my stuff, where my mountains are... right? Or is home where my life is, where most my friends are, where my school is, where I'm growing? Did I move on from home? Make a new one? While I was at school, I was antsy to get back to Mapleton. Now that I'm here, I'm antsy to go back.
I'm torn between two homes, I'm in limbo.
So tonight, I'm heading back to Rexburg. Just for a trip. Taking a break from my break.

Dear Mapleton
Dear Mapleton,
Thanks for welcoming me home! I loved the fireworks last night--- best I've ever seen, anywere. And it was especially fun to be able to watch them with none other than my dear friend Eliza, we hadn't seen each other in way too long. Trevor had his farewell today, I can't believe he's leaving, I'm so happy for him though. And seeing Jacqe was great- along with picking delicious raspberries at Mike's. And more fireworks tonight! I love that you celebrate pioneer day so well! And going out with Megan, Eliza and Trevor tomorrow will be way fun, then seeing Lauren and then my niece! Good weekend, thanks for taking care of me. Love you more than I realized!

PS- I really enjoyed the construction on I-15, wouldn't be you without it!

Jacqe, Trevor and I :)

The (almost) Final Week.
So my semester is ending. Again. I can't believe how fast this one has gone, but I have a feeling this week will make up for it. Once this week is over, finals should be a breeze. I have all my prep work, plus classes to do this week. Aaand one other major life event.
I'm engaged!!
Hahaha kidding.

HARRY POTTER 7.
Midnight Showing.
And a Harry Potter movie marathon leading up to it.
For an example of my life, here is my schedule for today.
7:45-1:45 classes (Nurse 100A, Nurse 100, Dance, Religion)
2-3 devo
3-4 Clinical Eval (Meet with instructor)
4-6(maybe 7) STUDY @ Library (Microbio final tomorrow!)
7-9 Ward Closing Social
9-11:30 HP 5
12:00 ZZZZzzzzzzzz.....
It will totally be worth it come Friday.
And friday- horseback riding and a cook out!
All in all, good way to end the semester :)
