Blessings.


I have come to realize that God really does know what's best for us. I've always known this, but as I get older I'm able to recognize the blessings he has left in my life. He has blessed me by giving me the privilege to know the most amazing people in the world. The people I have met this semester are truly a treasure to me. I just received a blessing frome Nate and Matt. Yesterday I was very dehydrated and almost passed out and today I'm feeling the aftermath. I had to make a mad dash to the bathroom because I was going to throw up. It wasn't fun. I've also been feeling down lately. Having some self-esteem issues. Not sure what that deal is. Anyways... They are so awesome because they were willing to come all the way to the Taylor to give me a blessing, and Matt was even late for class. I am so grateful that Heavenly Father has blessed me with such amazing worthy FHE-Brothers (friends). Without them (all of them, not just Nate and Matt) I would be having the worst semester ever. I can't help but be happy when I'm around them. And guess what? I feel better now. Thank you Heavenly Father, and thank you Matt and Nate. You guys are the best!

Eye Project

So for my Humanities class we were assigned to make a piece of abstract art. This is what I made. I wanted to do something cool and different. I actually came up with this idea while I was falling asleep. The funny part about this project... I put WAY to much effort into it. I was looking at my other classmates art pieces and they were like doodles, or food on a napkin, someone even took a picture of all the dishes in their sink and submitted that... Oh well. I really enjoy how it turned out. haha I also LOVED taking awkward pictures of all my friends. You are a true friend if you will let me get all up in your business with a camera. Getting all of your flaws on film. Luckily, all my friends are perfect and have no flaws ;)

DAVID ARCHULETTA...(weekend of 6/19/10)




Ok, So David Archuletta wasn't the ONLY fun thing about my weekend. But I was just SO excited about it that I had to have it as my title. Friday Brianna, Kris and I made shirts for our FHE bro's sports teams! Our shirts turned out amazingly awesome!!!! Actually, I'm wearing mine right now because they have games tonight so I'm showing my support! :-) Then later Dan and Nate came over and we had a Mess for dinner (Biscuits, Gravy, Sausage, and eggs all mixed together. It's yummy!). They all decided to go to Dairy Queen and get Ice Cream. But Brianna and I went to Idaho Falls and went to Denny's with a big group. It was SO much fun!!. Saturday I went to Chad's (Lisa's friend) Basketball game. It was INTENSE! I decided I can't watch basketball anymore because I get way to into it! After the Game I went home and did some homework, until Brianna and my other roommates came in and informed me that they were all going swimming at Rigby Lake. Well I HAD to go then! :-) It was way fun...For the first 5 minutes. We arrived at the Lake and it was nice and hot. The sun was shining and we were planning on getting super tan... Until the clouds rolled in and the wind came. Then it was FREEZING! It was still tons of fun. I learned how to skip rocks (I'm not good at that at all!), watched my FHE brothers shiver like they were dying. It was awesome. After the lake I went home and got ready for the David Archuletta Concert!! :) It was so much fun! We got to meet his opening act (David Osmond! Who is a HOTTIE!!!!) They were both awesome! After the Concert we went back to our apartment and played pool in the lounge. I was in SUCH a great mood. I'm pretty sure my FHE-Bros thought I was a freak because I was just hyper and happy. It was grand. I love College! :)

Mondays are about Family...

So Monday's could quite possibly be my favorite day of the week. And it's because of the people in these pictures. This Monday (June 14th) we had a WATER FIGHT!!!! It was amazing! We joined with another group and that was awesome. Then we played at the water park and Porter Park. It was a great day :)

Troy and I. He is really like 6'6" but He was nice enough to lower himself so that I didn't look so short!
Nate is hilarious! I can never tell if he's joking so I pretty much believe everything he says, which is probably bad because MOST of the time he is joking!
We joined with another FHE group and had a water fight! It was awesome!
Meet Sadie, She is my roommate. I love her. The End.
It's a sister kinda thing
Matt and I, with Nate creeping in the back. I love this picture, It makes me smile.
Jacob = Beast! He is great!
This is my FHE Dad. He is awesome! Even though he was a butt and wouldn't smile.

Catching up...

Whew. It's been a while since I've posted! To all my MANY readers, I am sorry. (haha actually I think Brianna reads this the most and she is here with me!) But anyways... So a last weekend(the weekend of June 4th) I decided to surprise everyone and go home! I really missed my friends, family, clients and daisy. So it was nice. We left at about 9:30 PM(!!) on Thursday and got home at about 9:30 AM Friday morning. Long night. Friday was very relaxing, I just hung out with my grandparents and went to lunch with Michelle. Kaylynn came over and we had a sleep over :) It was awesome. Satureday was a little more busy. I went to work and visited my clients. It was such a heart warming experience to see them get so excited to see me! I was so happy and I just missed them so so so much! As I was driving home I got stuck in traffic...for two hours!!! I did NOT drive all the way from IDAHO to get stuck in traffic, needless to say, I was irritated. I got home and started to get ready because I was taking my best friend out on his first date! (Ya I know, I have young friends, but I also have old friends, so I think it evens out :)) Here are some pictures from it:This was AFTER the date when I was driving him home (the pictures are out of order)
This was right after I picked him up for the date. We were heading to fredies to pick up the stuff to make the pizzas and finger paint!
This is one good looking group if I do say so myself. Those are the shirts we got at good will to not get our nice clothes stained. They are sexy!
My date... He's kinda special.
Meet Kaylynn. I love her. The End!

So we made pizzas and finger painted while watching Hot Rod! Funniest movie ever! I'd say it was a successful night of Awesomeness! The Drive back was fun, but long. It was weird because it seemed like the drive there was shorter than the drive back. I was VERY glad to be home though (well home as in "Rexburg"), I missed my friends. The NEXT day was FHE, which always makes my life better! As a family, we went to Broulims and got "Naked" (a delicious fruity drink) then went to the Bishops house. So we can officially say "We got naked together and went to the Bishops" It's pretty awesome. Our Bishop is so nice and I LOVE his wife, she is soooo sweet! The story how they met is super cute too. Basically she was a telephone operator and and they talked on the phone and she called him back and asked to meet him, and the rest is history! So I guess it pays sometimes to be super bold! After the lesson we played pool, ping pong, guitar hero and just visited! It was awesome.

Getting "Naked" with Matt!
Watching USA vs England!

The rest of the week kinda sucked... Just cus it was school and school is stressful. Friday(the 11th) we had a "girls night" sort of thing. Brianna, Emily and I did make overs, our hair and painted our nails, all while watching Miss Congeniality. It was amazing. Then our FHE bros came over and we played some games then went to Sonic(Brianna's first time). Saturday was THE WORLD CUP!! England VS USA. I'm not a big soccer fan, but I was excited for this. We made shirts and got dressed up and had a party in the lounge. It was amazing, even though the US tied, it was still fun. I'm pretty sure we didn't do anything else Saturday... But to be honest I can't remember. Sunday was wonderful, as always. My home teachers came over and they are SO intune to the spirit!!! They are so amazing and spiritual that I can just feel the spirit when they walk in. I had to hold the tears in as they were teacher. I am so blessed. We then watched Rigoletto (Not a fan of the movie, but it was fun being with friends) with Jacob(our fhe bro) and his girlfriend and her roomies. (Sorry this post is so freaking long!)
I'd say it was a great couple of weeks!

Avoiding Homework...

This weekend was Memorial Day Weekend which means it was a THREE DAY WEEKEND!!!! It started off with our wonderful FHE-Bros coming over and playing the Wii. We eventually (after probably an hour of deciding) went and saw IRON MAN 2! It was so great! Super funny and now I really want to see Iron Man 1! Brianna Got treated to Hair Salon Daniel, She always gets pampered by our FHE bros! :) First the nails and now the hair? Who needs professional Salons?? Satureday was loads of fun also! We played Walley Ball (A big favorite with our group of friends now!) On the way to Walley Ball, while getting into Nate's car... I slipped and hit my shin, which now has the resemblance of someone that got severely beat! After Walley Ball we went our separate ways. I basicly did nothing all the rest of the day, until about 6 pm, when we played WATER POLO!!! (Another group favorite!) We met some people that are from back home, which was way cool! After Water Polo Brianna and I ordered some Pizza, I was in need of a little comfort. Sunday was awesome as always! Very relaxing. I went to my Home Teachers apartment and they had a game night, where I was accused of being a werewolf, because of my "Shifty Eyes" hahaha Good times. Then Monday came (here comes the good stuff!)... We Went to the ICE CAVES!!!!! I was a little nervous at first but am SO SO SO glad I went! I had a blast! Driving to the caves I was in the very back of Nate's car(no seat or seatbelt...) and was bouncing everywhere! Brianna could not stop laughing every time my head would hit the roof of his car...I had a pretty bad headache after that! The ice caves are fun because you just slip and slide and just have a great time! I did, however, hit my head on the ice... I slipped and my head was introduced to the ice. I don't think they liked each other very much! I had to ride in Jacob's car on the way back because all the people in Nate's car wouldn't let me sit in the back... I guess they thought I had enough brain damage for one day! After The Ice Caves we just relaxed until it was time for... WALLEY BALL!!!! :) This sport is becoming a common occurrence with my FHE family! I don't mind Because it's amazingly fun! I just Love College!
