Fun and Excitement

Well I just realized that I haven't put pictures or an update on here for MONTHS! So I decided that I fill everyone in on my life an all of it's funness.
I have started my fourth semester here at BYU Idaho and I am continually blown away at how lucky I am and how blessed I am to come to this school. I have already had so many great experiences here and every day a have more. This semester I am the oldest in my apartment which is really weird! I do love my new roommates though. I am rooming with Kayla and Arleigh who are both from Ashton, carolyn clark who I roomed with in the fall and Amber and Tiffany who are both from Elko, Nevada. They are all really fun and we grow closer every day. It has been a little weird not having Christina here as my roombud but I do count down the days until she comes back!:) Ok now for the pictures:
Last saturday our apartment was ATTACKED!! We walked in and it was full of newspaper and our couch had been.. It looked bad when we walked in but little did we know it was even worse than we thought! Our dishwasher, refrigerator, freezer, and bathrooms were FULL of NEWSPAPER!!! All in all we had about eight garbage bags full of newspaper. We have yet to find out who the culprit is but when we do they better watch out!!!


Sometimes our dishwasher gets really full!

We have a beautiful campus here so last Sunday me and Kayla took a little stroll to the gardens.

For FHE last week we hiked to R mountain. I had never done it so I was really excited. Little did I know that R mountain is REALLY STEEP!!!! Yep more steep than hiking to the Y in Provo. Once we got to the top we had alot of fun snapping pictures.



I coached a Volleyball team over the break. The girls were 10 and it
was alot of fun! I really enjoyed coaching them and I hope that they learned alot and had tons of fun.

Well this has been about my life the past little while. I am having a great college experience.

Today...

Today I realized that I wished my youth away way to quickly. I remember growing up and thinking to myself I can not wait to turn eighteen and go to college and live on my own. With every new age I awaited something new that was to come in the future, sometimes I worry that I wasn't taking every moment in and relishing in the glory of having no responsibilities other than going to school every day. I had a plan and some kind of accomplishment that would come with each age. The highlights were 8 I would be baptized! 12 I got my ears pierced, that was a great day, 16 I could finally date, and probably the most awaited one was my eighteenth birthday when I could graduate and get out of the house and GO TO COLLEGE!!! I dreamed of this day and thought it would never come but in reality it came quite quickly! Now I am seeing a problem in this plan of mine. All of these things I was waiting for ENDS at 18?? What was I thinking. Life goes on after you turn 18 and now I find myself at the big twenty and realize that I have to start making some of the most important decisions I will ever make. Do I enjoy all of this....I sure do not. So today I am sitting here hoping that I am on the right path.
