Mini Update...

Well folks, I'm back in Rexburg! It's freezing cold and I thoroughly enjoyed my three very busy weeks home. I was ready to get back to the daily grind at school with my own space and progressing in life and my education. Today was my first day of classes for winter 2013 semester. Can I just say that I'm already overwhelmed? I already dropped one of my classes. Haha. I'll just take that my last semester here. It was just my capstone class. So, now I'm enrolled in 15 credits/seven classes. I think that's a little more manageable for me. I have three classes to attend tomorrow that I think I'll enjoy. Today I had my sewing class, infant and toddler development class and my confectionery class. They sound pretty easy but there's a lot of busy work in these classes and I think that's why I'm already stressed out. That's okay though- I'm always stressed out my first week of class and then it gets (hopefully) better as time goes on.

I have five new roommates again... I've never lived with the same person for more than one semester. Ha! New people every semester here is the name of my game here at BYU-Idaho I suppose. At least I'm meeting new people and such. I have many blog posts to do soon from when I was home but I don't have time tonight to post them! I probably shouldn't even be doing this post but I figured it wouldn't take long. Here's to my last winter semester at BYU-Idaho! Tomorrow is devotional and temple day and I'm so excited! Cheers!

Family White Elephant

This last semester we had a pretty good home evening group! For our last home evening we decided to do a white elephant gift exchange... There were some quite interesting gifts given.

Not everyone could make it to the last home evening... But it was super fun!

"Everyone laugh really hard..."

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!
