Time to Update

This week has been pretty crazy. Firstly... After Easter I decided to go off candy for a week. I did it! Now that week is over and I have partaken in candy without overdoing it like last week. I've been scrapbooking with my mom all week and I've finally done some recent pages including college pics. I'm really glad I did because I haven't scrapbooked my own pages for about 4 years. Needless to say I am way behind!

I straightened my hair on Wednesday and it was really cute for about a day...


Thursday I went to class with Richard. First was his drawing class and it was really fun for me. I drew with charcoal and it was of a mannequin that was at the front of the room. It turned out really well because I really can't draw. His professor liked it too :)


Today was Richard's farewell. I was so excited because his family came to see it. After sacrament meeting all the members of the ward talked to his parents and told them how much they loved Richard and thought that he would be a great missionary. I think that really helped his mom warm up to him actually going. By the way he leaves in 2 and a half weeks. Its really coming fast...

And I go to my internship in 3 weeks. I'm still pretty scared that I won't really know what to do and that I will feel stupid... but I guess I should just hope that it will be okay.

That is all.

School's out!

Wow, this weekend has been crazy. I think I've eaten more in 3 days than I did the last week in Rexburg. So first, I went with my roommate to the Titanic exhibit in Idaho Falls before she took me to the airport. It was really really cool! Then I got home to Vegas and Richard, Zac, and I went to In N Out. Let me tell you, after eating almost nothing that day, it tasted sooooooo good :) Then The next day we colored eggs. Sunday we went to church and then ate an amazing Easter dinner. I got a dragonfly necklace for easter it is really cute! Then our backyard flooded but it turned out to be a broken sprinkler in our neighbor's yard.

All in all a fun weekend!

Holy Flying Flurries Batman!


So, while I was at church today, it started snowing. That's not the bad part. When we got out of church it was a BLIZZARD! I mean actual blizzard not a Las Vegas Blizzard. We could barely see 10 feet in front of us as we ran home. And the wind was blowing crazily. Now, 2 hours later, there is no wind and the sun is shining. Rexburg weather blows my mind! Yesterday there was absolutely no snow on the ground. Two weeks ago it was almost warm enough to wear shorts and then the weather changed to this. Needless to say I am anxious for some warmth and sunshine and shorts weather in Vegas.

School is almost over for me. I have 2 weeks, 5 tests, 3 presentations, 2 computer programs, packing and white glove left until I go home!

Yay! And next week is stake conference!

Oh and on Thursday I go to the University of Idaho in Pocatello to visit the facility where I might get the internship this summer. I hope I find out then if I got it!


Thats all the good news so far!

3 weeks left!

Yay! I'm sooo excited to go home soon :) I have so much to do, but the thought of going home soon keeps me going.

Friday night we had the enrichment activity that I helped to plan. It was really really good. It was better than I thought it would be, in fact. On Friday my roommate Sarah and I watched Iron Man and played DDR for a while. Then on saturday I did lots of homework and started reading The Host by Stephanie Meyer. It is WAY better than Twilight ever was :)

Today church was really good too! I don't know specifically why but I learned a lot.

Sorry this blog entry is so boring!

Maybe next week I'll have more to say.

St Patty's Day



THis has got to be one of my favorite holidays! I love my heritage from Ireland and Scotland, (and cause my mom always celebrates it) so I really really like this day.

I made Corned Beef in my crockpot today...i don't like cabbage much so I left that out and added potatoes and carrots. It turned out really well! And I wore green today :)
