JUST BEING HOME!!!!

Good-Bye till the Fall

Last night I got into bed and laid there in the silence. I'd been home for only a few hours and I was already having roommate with drawl! It felt weird sleeping in a room by myself and not talking KP to sleep. And today I had a couple movie quotes come to mind that matched the situation perfectly but only KP would've understood. Then while in the radio the song that KP loves came on the radio, "Where I Stood" by Missy Higgins. Marisa and I have been texting all day and I'm trying to convince Sam that when he gets off his mission he should marry her(The age gap is a bit of concern to him). I also feel like something's missing from my day because I haven't been trash talked by Elise ;)

Now don't get me wrong I'm super excited to be home! It's absolutely beautiful and my brothers and I have had some wild adventures already(shopping for flowers and a shirt for prom) but I miss my sisters. Too bad they couldn't come home with me! I've been so lucky to be blessed with wonderful roommates and amazing friends! This summer will be long without them especially when I crave a full out dance party! But we'll be reunited in the fall. Thank goodness for things like facebook and cellphones; it makes things so much easier! I LOVE YOU GUYS AND YOU'RE ALL THE BEST!!

FANTASTIC NEWS!!!

The family that I've nannied for the past two summers called me yesterday and they want me back!!! HALLELUJAH!!! Now I won't be frantically searching for a job or an unemployed bum! YAY!!!!

Reach Your Goal...I reached Mine!

BYU-Idaho's fitness activities program put on a 9 week challenge that began in January. My roommates and I decided to participate and Thursday was the closing social. The 9 week challenge was to exercise 180 minutes a week and attend at least on fitness class on campus during the time. Since my roommate Kimberly is the Step Aerobics instructor I went to Step every Monday and Wednesday. Then on Tuesdays and Thursday I attended Zumba, which is a low cardio workout done to latin dancing(SO FUN!) Saturdays I went to kickboxing. These classes were very enjoyable and a had fun while getting into shape. Now my goal is to keep it up during the summer. At the social last night we got T-shirts for completing the challenge.

The front says: Reach your goal

The back says: I reached mine

Before the social KP had a dance competition and she and her partner won FIRST PLACE for the waltz!!!! YAY!!! Congrats KP and Josh!

Me, Marisa, an d KP's Mom

Britton brought her a flower...so cute!!!

Only 9 more days

...until I'm HOME!!!!! I can't wait to go home away from snow(in April for heaven's sake!), classes, and roommates. I am so excited for home cooked meals, to see my family, and for summer. I am going to miss my roommates but it's the end of the semester and we're all just a little tired of each other. Last weekend was a nightmare but it made me grateful for my brothers. I now know why I don't have any sisters because I probably would've killed them...I will never complain about my brothers again...maybe. But boys aren't dramatic or moody. I guess the experience has taught me some good lessons but I don't want to live with girls anymore, good incentive to get married but I'm not sure if a husband would be any better. :) But I won't dwell on the negative...positive positive positive. I will be home in 9 days! YAY!!!!

I think that's about it...not too bad really. This semester has actually been pretty chill academically, now roommates that is a completely different story. But to my family: I can't wait to see you!!!! You guys are all getting big hugs, I don't care whether you want one or not. And I dedicate this song to you..."I say hey I be gone today but I be back around the way. Seems like everywhere I go, the more I seethe less I know. But I know one thing: That I love you!
