more snow fun

so it snowed again. just one more time i hope. they are forcasting a big snow storm for saturday though and i am worried that i might get snowed in at Salt lake. So please say a prayer that my flight will be on time and that i can get out and that ohio wont have any bad weather to keep me grounded there either! anyway it was really powdery snow this time around, but now its all turned to ice since the day after it sort of melted in the placed where people had walked and now its dangerous to walk around...you risk bruises like i have from being a clutz and falling all over the place. lol. I have a few pics. it SOOOOO cold that we only stayed outside for like 15 minutes. It hasnt been above 32 in a week now. I am so glad that i am not here for the 20 below weather that hits here in the worst winter months!!!!! we made some cute snow angels. mine turned out pretty good. ah darn it i have to go to work and i work closing tonight so it will have to be pictures another day. man i just keep having to say that! :)

New Hair Cut

Update

Life is hard. Its inescapable. But I am so glad that I am having such fun while I am living! So I re-died my hair and got it cut this week. I think it looks cute. I really like the style i have while i am trying to grow it out! School is still going great. My classes are starting to focus on the final projects, which means that thanksgiving week will be hard work in my world this year! :( lol I can't believe that once this week is over i only have 3 weeks left of school and then I am a senior in college! Does that boggle anyone else's mind???? It sure does mine. um i was going to post a picture of my new hair but the internet is being finicky again so maybe tomorrow!

Snow!!!!!!!!!!!:):):)

So it finally snowed! A good snow storm while i was working the closing shift tonight! My friend and I went out to play in it and had lots of fun! I got freezing cold and super wet but it was nice to just run around and be silly. I also made a snow turtle and wished that i had food coloring so i could made him pretty..but alas i do not. The sky in that one picture didn't turn out how cool it really looked but it still looks pretty cool. It was about 1200 at night but still really bright out! Also i voted today...but to no avail since Obama won. it looks like those days that have been prophesied about are fast on our heels, when the government will fall and the church will be the one to save it all. Mind you if i actually thought Obama will follow through with his platform i would have voted for him...but i dont think he will...hence why i voted mcain. Also by voting the way i did today i am now a resident of Idaho...all it took was proving that i have lived here for 30 days and showing them my passport for them to let me register. crazy... alright i am all tuckered out. off to dream land!

Pictures for the last post

fun fun fun and more fun

Ok so few weekends ago we took a break and went to the mall in Idaho Falls just half an hour from here. We had so much fun just window shopping and being crazy. its no wonder everyone always thinks i am 19 or at most 20...i act so crazy!!!! lol So i posted some pics of the mall and also some of my costume and my roommates costumes as well. We all dressed up for our ward party and had so much fun! I also will be dressed up for my shift tom at work since there is a big party at work...only i won't be wearing the wig. um nothing intersting...i made it through midterms with no grade lower than a B+ ...on a test or in a class. I am pretty proud of how hard i have been workign this semester and my grades too. Hopefully i will keep it up for the last 5 weeks. oh and i also included images of the first snowfall..which promptly melted and it hasnt snowed again....:( ok so my pictures werent posting...the broadband for the wireless in our apts sucks! i will post the pics another day! sorry mom

Too Tired for words?

Ok so this has been the longest week of my life and i still have much much more of it to go! I now have to be up at 6 2 out of the 5 days of the week and since about 2 to 3 times a week i work until 12 or 1 in the morning. I go to class on tuesdays and thursdays from 745 am- 5 pm. with only a one hour break on thursdays to eat! Today is usually the start of my weekend, but i have to be up at 6 again to go to an early lab to finish an art project because I work 12-5pm tom so i cant go to my normal lab time. Then after work tom i have to practice piano because i have 3 pieces that need to be polished by tuesday morning. Well, she can relax on saturday right? WRONG! I have to get up...you guessed it at 6 ..but this is a good reason...its temple day...saturday is my happy day of the week because its temple day for me. Plus i have 2 midterms next week that i am studying for. So that is my crazy busy life right now. I am getting really tired and i feel it all the time!! good thing there are only 6 weeks left of school and only 4 until thanksgiving week off! YAY! Thats means i get to see amanda and play! So i also posted some more pictures. Just some roommate pictures, we all get along really really well (except one girl but we dont need to talk about that here) and I have so much fun with them! My grades are...thankfully...still all A's and i am surprised that my goals are paying off this semester and i am not falling behind! I have only one being to thank for that...Heaven Father...thank goodness He is on my side!! :) My count down to Europe is going to begin with days in another week because i am tired of counting weeks! I am so excited to get to see my family again! I miss my little sister and the friendship I have found with her and I miss Matt and all the love he always has to offer and I miss dan's jokes! I can't wait to get a big hug from my dad and to just sit down and have girl talk with my mom and see her beautiful face again! OK my free time is up!

More of my Life to date

So now here are the little things that matter to some and dont to others. I love my ward! We have so much fun! Also my roommates, all of us, except for one, get along wonderfully and its so much fun! We have FHE every monday night, although most weeks i am working and cant go

:( At work we have a get together every sunday night, even though its closed, we come in the back door and go upstairs. if anyone ever gets a chance to come up here go upstairs in the hogi yogi...its so cool! We have two big love sacks, big red couches, banana chairs, twinkle lights in the ceiling, a HUGE projector screen. We usually just eat and watch a movie or play the Wii, or rock band (all on that huge screen!!!!) Its so much fun. Its midterms time so I spend most of my days locked in my room studying until my eyes hurt and my brain is full. I really feel like I am learning a lot this semester. Its already snowed here a couple times. But nothing stuck...we now are having a few indian summer days where the temp has gone back up into the 70's (which is weird since its been freezing for weeks!) and of course...the thought on everyones mind...boys...well there is no one special in my life right now...there was someone back in the summer but things just ended all of the sudden in july so we wont go there. There are always cute boys who come into work and its fun to flirt a little. but still no one who has really caught my interest. its not that i am picky...it doesnt take much to impress me...lol, its just that (and this was told to me by some of my guy friends) I am intimidating to guys! Who knew????? I guess the fact that i know who I am and what i want out of life is scary to most guys my age. and now for pictures!!!!!!! We went Kayaking just before the summer break was over and I had never been before! it was soooo much fun! We saw a moose! He was huge! Liz is the girl in the pictures with me...everyone else had boys there with them...except us...her fiance didnt want to come and I am just...me. Liz is a friend I knew in Japan and have kept in touch with. She got married last month and moved up north to be close to his family.

Long time short catch up

So its been a year...more than a year in fact. Apparently college life leaves little, if not, no time to keep up with these dang blog things! But since i am far away from all family it seems the best idea to keep everyone up to date. So here is some updating. I am in the tail end of my junior year in college. This semester, which started in September, has been a fabulous one for me. I have found a measure of peace and joy that had been absent in my life before and it has made things much happier in my life. I am well on my way to getting my teaching degree. I passed my middle two state tests with flying colors this year. Which means that after I ace the literacy class this semester I am 100 percent qualified to teach children to read! Fun! I am in music, P.E. and art methods this semester, which means that those classes are teaching me how to teach those subjects in my future classroom. I think P.E. is my favorite of those three. I am also taking a children's literature class, which is helping to broaden my world of books and teaching me how to judge what is appropriate for which level of student to read. Another class I have is religion, i am studying the first half of the Book of Mormon and am learning loads of new things every class period. There is one class i start this upcoming week, that will be the literacy class where i spend 2 hours in a school showing my school that i know how to teach reading. The last class i have is a piano class! That is my fun class for this semester and I am loving it! I have a job at the Hogi Yogi that is just up the street from my apartment. I love my job. I get to meet so many new people and I work with a really fun group. ok i think that is enough for this post.
