Just some pictures!!!

Jordan and I in Utah. Four-wheeling and campfire with his family! It was a lot of fun.

Home!!!!

It was so good to be home for a few days this past weekend. I guess I'll complain first before I talk about my fun weekend.

COMPLAINING.....

I only got to go home for literally 3 days. First off my trip home started off horribly!!! I was supposed to leave Saturday evening at 5:55 PM. So I go to print my boarding pass around 3:00 PM and it says that my flight left already at 1:00PM. I was like you've got to be kidding me. Of course, I called my mom crying and she was like are you kidding me? So she called the air line and yep...my flight was gone. There was no way that I was going to be getting to California Saturday night. Luckily, my good friend Chris lives right by the airport in Idaho Falls, so I was able to stay with her and she took me to the airport Sunday morning at the crack of dawn so I could catch my flight around 6:30 AM. So I got to California on Sunday morning...only to realize I didn't pack any make-up and the dress that I brought to wear to church was too short. Ha...talk about one adventure after another! But that's all the complaining I have because the rest was really good.

THE GOOD STUFF....

I got to California and spent some time with my parents and the dogs! It was so good to see them all. Then I got ready for church and went with Jordan. Church was good and it was fun to be with Jordan again! After church I went to my Gram's for Easter dinner and we had dinner with the whole family. It was so good to see my grandparents and uncle. It's funny how you don't really realize how much you miss your family until you have to leave them...or you come back to see them...and realize how much you took for granted before! Once we got home from Gram's I hung out with parents and we watched some TV. Then Jordan and I went and tried to find a star wheel. We didn't have success with the star wheel but we did end up with a boy scouts book with the constellations and we went and tried to find the constellations. Let me tell you...that is a lot harder than it seems! Monday I got to have breakfast with Marissa and Stacy. It was so good to see them again and catch up. It's funny how we get together after not seeing eachother for 4 months and we just pick up right back where we left off. I love those girls. Of course, Marissa and I went shopping with my mom...that's just what Marissa and I always do and it was nice to have my mom with us! Jordan and I went to dinner Monday night at one of my most favorite restuarants... The Old Spaghetti Factory. It's funny because I go home and I have to make sure that I eat at certain restuarants because we have NONE here in little ol' Rexburg. Tuesday was a fun day as well. I hung out with my mom in the morning and then took Jordan bowling at the new bowling alley in Elk Grove. Talk about a NICE bowling alley! Then I was able to go see my 5th grade teacher and visit with her a bit which was very nice. My parents, Jordan and I went to dinner Tuesday night at my ULTIMATE favorite restuarant...Locke Gardens. It was amazing as always! And I totally think that they should branch out to hick town Rexburg so that I can eat amazing Chinese food EVERYDAY! And before I knew it, I was waking up at 4:30 Wednesday morning to leave by 5:00 AM to catch my flight back to Idaho at 6:25AM.

And now I'm back in Rexburg and it's the same old stuff. Check-in's, pay for everything, grocery shop, and then finally school starts on Monday. Oh the joys of being a college student. Only 98 more days until the end of the semester....Not that I've already started counting down and I haven't had my first day of classes yet! :) I just can't wait to be back in California! But what can I say...I'm going to enjoy the next 3 months and have a blast while I'm at it! I mean, You've got to make the best of what is going on RIGHT now! Hope all is well! Take Care!

Bri....Me....Jen....

No words can explain what happens when we get together!

Jen and I

This picture describes our apartment.

Bri and Jen just being weird....

Janelle not really knowing what is going on...

and me...

well yeah it's just me!

Wow...it has been a while since I have updated on here. Let's just say that is what happens when you're in college and are taking 18 credits. (I don't recommend ever taking 18 credits in 1 semester!) But I'm happy to say that I survived. I finished up my semester yesterday afternoon and I'm so glad to be done! And now comes another semester. But before I go to the next semester let's rewind a bit and get caught up.

So...all of my classes were pretty amazing. I love actually being in my major and actually enjoyoing my classes. Learning about kids and marriage and families is so interesting to me. It still amazes me how everything is connected together and if one thing in out of whack...everything else tends to be out of whack as well.

Roommates were amazing this semester and I'm sad to see two of them moving out but Jen will still be here and we have two new girls that are awesome moving in. Janelle and Bri were so amazing and they are just two wonderful girls. They are so fun and all four of us were able to just relax and have so much fun together.

I didn't really do much vacationing this semester...just went down to Utah once. Actually just a week ago. I went down to see one of my best friends Jordan. It was the first time that we saw eachother in over 2 years as he got off his mission about a month ago. It was great to see him. We hung out with his family and went four-wheeling and just got caught up over the past 2 years.

And sad....but now it's time for another semester. I cannot believe that I am in my second semester of my junior year of college. I guess it's like the saying...Time flies when you're having fun...but I must seriously be having a blast because it's like I blink and it's gone!

Sorry for not being better at updating. Hope all is well!
