This weeks goal....

ACCOMPLISHED!!!

So this week I've been trying to learn how to french braid my own hair

needless to say it was a lot of getting frustrated and wanting to pull my hair out

but today i accomplished my first french braid

on my own head...

okay yeah make fun of me but it was hard work

my arms hurt from holding them up so long

and yes...my braid looks pretty bad compared to

you professional braiders

but

I'm pretty proud of myself!

p.s. if i can give anyone a word of advice...

don't live in rexburg in the summer on the 3rd floor with NO air....

Life is grand!

Sometimes you just gotta have fun with friends!

It really is the best stress reliever!

LIFE IS GOOD!!!

Ps...I really want to see Toy Story 3!!!!!!!!!

Yellowstone

Today was free admission day at Yellowstone and Jen and I took full advantage of it!

We woke up early this morning and headed to West Yellowstone for a beautiful day

full of buffalo, smelly sulfur, crazy tourists, beautiful nature, and of course

Old Faithful!

Much Needed Break

So I went home for Memorial Day weekend!

Made a super long weekend out of it because I don't have classes on Tuesdays or Thursdays...

Yes...that would conclude that I'm a lazy SENIOR ready to graduate!

While I was home I got to see my family and spend time with my parents!

I saw Marissa...the recent graduate herself

And I got to spend time with Jordan.

Marissa and I hung out with her family and went to Jordan's show downtown...

Jordan and I went golfing, riding bikes, played basketball(I won)!, shot the pellet gun, bike ride with my dad, hang with his family and more random stuff...

My parents and I ate dinner at Locke Gardens....my favorite place, watched the movie Hachi, went to the bike store...

It was a much needed break from school...now just 52 days left here in Rexburg

and I'm FREE!!!

I am so excited!!!

Rissa and I at Jordan's show
Jordan doing what he is great at! MUSIC!!!

Me...Crafty?!....I guess so!

So today I went to the craft store...I cannot go there and not spend anything! I saw these cute watches and thought...hmm....that'd be fun to make. So I did! It was super easy and fun. All you do is buy the watchface and then decide what beads you want...buy some cord...clasps and TADA you have a watch! I never knew I could be so crafty! I must say....I'm proud of myself! Hope everyone is having a great weekend!

life is...

AMAZING!

So I was writing in my journal yesterday and I realized just how great life really is! I mean when you look back and write stuff down you really do notice that life is pretty grand and HILARIOUS at times. For instance, this weekend my old roommate Alycia and I went to the park. It was actually nice outside in Rexburg for the first time so we wanted to get some sun. So we're just talking on our blankets when this old grandpa comes up to us and asks us for a water bottle. We're thinking...aww this old grandpa wants some water for his 3 sons playing baseball. Yeah...we were wrong. The old grandpa took my water bottle opened it and poured the water on our heads. Did not see that one coming. It was hilarious! Then he proceeded to talk to us and told us that he wasn't going to hold it against us that we go to BYU-Idaho and he mumbled something about if his wife knew he was talking to us he'd be in trouble. All the while his 3 grandsons are yelling at him, "Grandpa!!! Stay away from the girls!!!" Pure entertainment. Then when he finished talking to us he went over to these other two girls and did the same exact thing with their water bottles.

I tell you...life is full of awkward, hilarious, semi-creepy moments.

You just gotta keep your eyes open for them!
