My life in a nutshell

I find it slightly ironic that I started a blog because I thought I would be better at blogging than journalling, but apparently I was extremely wrong. I am officially a sophomore here at BYU-Idaho, and I absolutely love it! I am starting to get into classes for my major, and they are the best! I am currently assisting in a 3rd grade classroom, and it really confirms to me that teaching is what I want to do with my life! It's the best feeling ever! Apart from school, I haven't really been up to much. This weekend has been great though! And it's even better considering that it's a long weekend :) On Friday night, my friend Melynda came over, and we hung out at my apartment and in the Snow building while we waited for Jenn to get off work because we were starving! Jenn had to pack because she was leaving for Utah the next morning, so Melynda and I went and got dinner for the 3 of us and brought it back to our apartment. Then, we spent that night at Melynda's apartment because her roommate was gone for the night. Jenn left the next morning, and I ended up spending the entire day with Melynda!! We kinda missed breakfast, so we went and got lunch, and we went to G's Dairy Delights for dessert. Let me tell you, I think I found heaven in there!! That was the best Ice cream I have ever had!!

My Ice Cream!! 

 

After that, Melynda and I went back to her apartment where we decided to watch a movie in their clubhouse's movie theater. We watched Mean Girls, and I actually stayed awake during it!! (For those of you who don't know, I have a real problem staying awake during movies...) Then we played piano and air hockey and talked for a long time. It was great! We decided to watch another movie later that night, but before we did, we went to Little Caesar's  for some breadsticks. No pizza, just breadsticks. yummy :) I'm totally fine with the no pizza thing, since I am not a huge fan of pizza anyways :). We watched The Covenant with our friend and Melynda's previous roommate Jessica. Afterwards, I went home and went to bed because it had been a long day!! The next day was Sunday, and I had church at 9:30. Both of my roommates had to speak, and Jenn was in Utah, so I ended up sitting by myself. No big... After church, I came home and did all of my homework until about Thursday... Yeah, I'm that cool :) My old roommate Taja called later that night and asked if she could spend the night, and since I absolutely adore Taja, I was more than happy to have her stay. When I talked to her on the phone, she said she had something to tell me, but didn't say anything else. I had my suspicions, which were confirmed by the diamond on her hand when I saw her! I'm so happy for her and her fiancee Tom! They are super awesome people! Anyway, Taja spent the night and this morning we did a little grocery shopping, and then we had breakfast right before Taja went to meet Tom for his lunch break. Great timing, right? A little later, I went to a family lunch at my grandparents. I LOVE spending time with my family!! It was so nice to just relax and talk with my grandpa and the rest of my relatives! And I can't wait for July 10th when I get to see my parents!! They are going to Las Vegas for a conference for my dad, and then they are coming to see me!! Being away from home makes me realize how much I miss my family!! I just wish my little brother could come too! He's such a cool kid, but I don't tell him that because he knows it all too well and I think it's already gone to his head. 

Me and Ryan! 

 

I am really  looking forward to everything in store for me! I applied to be an I-team leader for Get Connected in the Fall, and I hope I get accepted for it! It seems so cool, and it really helped me when I was a new freshman. I want to help people out and be able to serve them! I can't wait to see what the Lord has in store for me! In the meantime, I'll just take life one day at a time :)
