End of the Toilet Paper Roll...

Have you ever heard the toilet paper analogy? It goes something like: the closer it gets to the end the faster it goes... Well, I'd say that this is incredibly true! The closer it has gotten to the end of the semester the faster it has gone! Today is the first day of finals week and I'll be home latest Saturday night! Am I excited?! HECK YESSS! 

Things to-do before I can leave:

Finish eating that 50 pound box of potatoes (my roommates have been a HUGE help!)

Finish my Book of Mormon homework

Return the book I rented for my Family Relations class

Take pictures down (I'm avoiding this one)

Pack, Pack, PACK!

Move the stuff I'm not taking home with me to my new apartment: Tuscany Place Apts.

Pray for clear (no snow) weather

Spend time with roommates (three are leaving on missions!)

Get my iPod from Kory

Buy stamps

Re-do my white glove clean check

Pack my car

Get plenty of sleep (haha)

Check out of my apartment

Get really excited to see family and friends!!!

Gas my car up, pick up Brian and make the 11 hour journey HOME!

They Never Cease to Amaze Me

Idahoan Sunsets...

How can you see this beauty and not believe in God?

Winter 2013: part 2

I would say that I'm a pretty organized person... And a bit of a perfectionist. :)

Today I printed out my class schedule for the winter 2013 semester! Added a little color and such and wa-la! Here she is: she's a beaut!

Obviously I don't have to do my online classes only at that specific time but I needed a reminder that I will have them to do! I'm so excited!

Home Evening Brothers

Believe it or not finals are just around the corner! We have one normal week and then finals week and then I get to go home! I'm very excited!!! (If you couldn't tell) Haha.

I wanted to do something cute for our home evening brothers this semester so I made some super cheesy one liners to go along with some candy! It was super easy and so fun!

Okay. Some of the pictures would not turn the right way to save my life and I'm sorry! (I'm a little (LOT) frustrated!) But you get the idea. :)

Winter 2013

Since I declared my major "Marriage and Family Studies" I found out that I only have THREE semesters of college left! WOOHOO! I'm incredibly excited and I can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel. I have a list of only 18 classes and one internship to graduate with my bachelors degree. It's about time, right?!

Next semester is winter semester and since it'll be freezing and I won't have the desire to "play" outside I figured I could cram a bunch of classes into that semester so I can have a lighter load for my last two semesters after winter (spring and fall semesters). I decided to take 17 credits/8 classes. I feel pretty good about it because one of the classes is only the first block and I'm taking one sewing class and one culinary class so I'm hoping that I'll have a little less homework than usual. I'm also taking two online classes: Book of Mormon 2 and my Capstone class. Here's so a fun and crazy busy semester!

College Christmas Decor

Well, let me get it out there... I'm a poor college student! Being a poor college student I have to come up with thrifty ways to make my my apartment a home. I get really home sick when I don't have things on the walls. Pictures make a house a home to me.

Since it's almost Christmas I was thinking of inexpensive ways I can decorate the living room and kitchen in my apartment to bring in the holiday cheer! What better way then to to wrap the cupboards with wrapping paper to bring the Christmas spirit in?! I bought two rolls of paper, some ribbon, and some bows at the dollar store for $4! I don't think it gets better than that! I think it turned out pretty well!

Tim Tam Slams?

What is a Tim Tam slam you ask? Well, it's what Heaven will be like... Absolutely amazing! Haha. I learned how to do these from two of my good friends that serves their missions in Sydney, Australia. One served in the north mission and the other served in the south mission. Needless to say, if they learned one thing really well it was how to partake of Tim Tam slams! ;) Haha. YUM!

They're these cookies that are amazing! You bite off opposite corners and then stick one bit off end in a cup of hot chocolate and slurp the hot chocolate through the cookie as if it were a straw. Once the hot chocolate hits your mouth you throw the cookie in your mouth and it melts. It's HEAVENLY! My mouth is watering just typing about them!

Click HERE to watch my two friends that served in Australia do their Tim Tam slams! Most people don't make it slide down their face, they usually just eat the cookie but if you wanted to spice things up a little bit then do it like this! Enjoy!
