St. George Excursion



So I went to St. George this weekend with my roommate.  We had so much fun!!!
On Saturday morning, we got to be in the Swiss Days parade where Angela drove the tractor and i rode on the front being lifted and dropped... haha sounds dangerous but oh was it fun!!! and people in the crowd were gasping and thinking I was gonna die! I loved it!  

We even spent time doing our homework during the day, but after that, it was all partay.

We went fourwheeling for a while down on her farm, and that was so much fun! I thought I might get hurt a few times, but I came out triumphant with only a bruise to show. :)

Then we went to the General Relief Society Broadcast which was phenomenal, and President Uchtdorf's talk just made my day.  I had such a great experience listening to him talk about our joy and our job as women to be happy and help others.

We went to Kurt's house for his farewell party!!! I cant believe he leaves and goes to the MTC tomorrow and then to Finland in December.

After his farewell, all Angela's friends came over and had a giant sleepover in her living room.  It was so much fun, and made me really miss my friends back home. Sadd but true.

Well... Sunday was Kurt's farewell talk and then we left and came back to Provo.  

This weekend was phenomenal and St. George is gorgeous. :)

Two Weeks Into the Semester!!!!


Well its beeeeeen 2 weeks. My semester started beautifully while my roommate, Angela, and I started getting along grandly. We really hit it off. Classes have been quite nice; I think I will thoroughly enjoy this semester, it might be hard, but I love a challenge. Social life is kinda slow because Im working full time, 20 hours AND going to classes. Homework is a bit of a pain, and I dont know, I just am suffering from homesickness.


My dorm is so cute, and I love the way that we have it set up. I am in the shared room with a sink again, and loving it. We don't really have any problems with anything in our room, which is phenomenal.

New announcements? umm... I chopped off my hair, o
h and BYU beat UCLA 59 to 0 this afternoon. That was awesome. hmmmmm..... I bought a new pair of shoes for 30 on sale from 70. That was quite nice. I got a new coat for 20 bucks which is adorable, its a pea coat and man oh man is it darling.

I turn 18 in 19 days... I am so thrilled, I dont even know what to do with myself. haha Im a poor college student, so I wont be having a lot of fun. Oh and I got my new address. Its:
3116 Taylor Hall
Provo, UT 84604

Yup... My favorite class this semester is probably going to be Book of Mormon. I love the spirit of the class, and the discussions that we get into. Its not so much doctrine based as it is how the doctrines make you feel. It probably wont help me on the exams, but its really building my testimony to read 30 minutes a day and record what I feel/think.

Oh yeah. Elder Holland spoke at BYU last Sunday for a CES conference to all Young Adults. I suggest you look up his talk, it changed my life. It was all about dealing with trials, and was based on D&C sections 121, 122, 123 while the Prophet Joseph was jailed in Liberty. The ja
il, although incarceration, was more liberating than a lot of other trials come upon by the Prophet. We all need to realize that through our trials, we gain knowledge both spiritual and temporal to help us make it through the day.

Well... I should go do homework. Please text me, remember me in your prayers.

I love you all.

School Starts tomorrow!!!!!

So Yeahhh.

I am not really that nervous about class starting tomorrow I just am worried about the specific course load that I'm taking. Stat 221 is going to be quite a challenge for me. Chem 101 will hopefully be a breeze.

I start tomorrow and I'm working 21 hours this week, then 21 hours next week.

Juggling work and school will be hard... but pray for me. I need all the help I can get. :)

Good Riddance.

My summer term has been over for almost a week and I dont miss it one little bit... Okay maybe I miss my friends but other than that... not really anything else is missable. I started working, and It is awesome. I am considered a computer technician. I cannot believe it. Its amazing.

Classes start on Sep. 2nd, and until then I am staying with my family friends, the LaFontaines. They are so nice and even let me drive their Denali to work when I need to. I have been so blessed by the Lord and I am so thankful for that.

My fall schedule is kinda difficult, but Idk I will survive. But yeahhh. Not much is going on in my life except that I am working and sleeping, and thats about it. :) Oh. and Danny put me on his family membership to THROWDOWN which is the largest martial arts gym in the country. So I am going to get back into kickboxing and stuff while Im out here. I am so stoked. You have no idea.

Wellp. Not much else is new, so this is me peacing out.

Another day at BYU.

Well. Its an absolutely fabulous day at BYU. Everything is running pretty smoothly and I got my work done that is due tomorrow so that's a good thing. umm. hmm. Well life is going well, and I am just super excited to be nearing finals next week, then Ill stay with the Lafontaines while Im working until I get time off during the 25th through 30th. That'll be really nice :)

I start work on Monday, August 11th. I work 1-5 every day for the following 2 weeks.... other than that... oh yeah.

Well my friends and I went to the Breaking Dawn Release Party at the BYU Bookstore. That in itself was amazing! We all dressed up as vampires, and I was Victoria, the one in Eclipse that tries to take down Bella but dies... yeahh. lol Then all last weekend was about me reading Breaking Dawn. Which I finished and LOVED. It was absolutely amazing. Great Book. fantastic. I suggest it. hmm.

Finals are coming up, like I said, and since Im working during Finals week, I am going to have to be studying a lot this upcoming weekend. This is going to be fun, and its sad because my first term at BYU is almost over. All 6 of our group, my roommate and I, Ali and Lucy, and Whitney and Jessica all have to split up and move to different housing units on campus, which is dreadful. Ive grown to love these girls like sisters and its really sad that our time here together as roomies is ending.

Exciting news... none really. SO yeah. Ill close. This is my journal entry for the time being :)
I love you all.
