room decor

So I finally got everything in my room here at college all how I want it. I figured out ways to hang up my necklaces, scarfs and even some pictures so now my room is complete...the only problem is that in 4 weeks, I will be taking it all down and packing it all away. haha but now I have the set up for future semesters. :)

Halloween!

So Halloween isn't my favorite holiday. I am not a big fan of dressing up and going trick or treating in the freezing cold (maybe trunk or treating in my childhood ruined this) but anyways, I didn't have any plans of dressing up or leaving the apartment tonight. Of course, those plans changed. My roommate Stephanie is from Rigby and she invited us to come and go trick or treating around her neighborhood so me and my other roommate Kaylie went to DI to find costumes. She found her dream Deb costume while I found a shirt to use for my nerd costume. DI is such a wonderful place to go for oldie stuff. Anyhow, we then came back to the apartment, put our wonderful outfits together and set off to Rigby with out other roommates Lindsay and Katie. We went trick or treating for about 20 mins, got really cold and then headed back to Rexburg. Even though my previous plans didn't exactly work out how I planned I will say that it was fun dressing up and looking a little crazy...plus, a little candy never hurt anyone.

college is the best thing ever.

Well look at me. Here I am, a college student. I remember this time last year I couldn't wait to get out of the house and live on my own. But as the time came for that last week, I didn't feel ready at all and to be honest I had a couple mental breakdowns. As the days got closer to moving and starting school I started freaking out more and more inside. I didn't want to move at all and I started wishing I would have asked for the winter track to give me more time to prepare.

But here I am, after my first day of actual college and all I can say is...I LOVE IT!!!! It is so fantastic, so awesome and SO SO fun! I really like my roommates, my apartment and the people I've met so far! It's only been 4 days and I seriously can't wait to see what tomorrow brings. I've already made a couple good friends and other great people. This seriously is the best thing ever. 

Here are pictures of my room that I promised people...enjoy! :)

My first day of college classes were a success!

Summer 2013

This is bad..this is very bad. I have had my blog for 1 day and I think I am already addicted. I decided to turn this blog into a picture journal because I am a horrible when it comes to writing in my journal, so now I can write less and picture more! :) plus, a picture's worth a thousand words, right?!

So school starts in one week...ONE WEEK!!! and I will officially be a college student. ahhh that scares me! So I'm going to pretend that this isn't happening for a little bit and enjoy my last week of summer. It's been a fantastic, busy, stressful summer and probably one of the best so far...

  To start off the summer, I went to the Hogle Zoo with my fam...

I was able to go visit my friends and leaders at girls camp for a couple days...

Got to see this life flight helicopter land, super awesome and exciting! 

I got to stay the week as the babysitter (or as I like to be called the "mom") of these two crazy girls for a week! for sure one of the highlights...

Got to hang out with some dang cool Canada boys...

went to a super fun family reunion and wedding in St. George, Utah..

(got to do baptism's in the beautiful temple)

went on a Young Women/Personal Progress trip...

(we went to the Playmill, floated the river and had lots of fun!)

had a photo shoot with Amy...

(thanks McKenna Rachelle Photography)

and of course partied with friends no stop...

this summer has been super! and I am not ready for it to end at all...but I am grateful for all the memories, money and fun I was able to have! 

First Post!

Well looky looky! Here I am on my very own blog, doing my very first post. I decided to do a blog so I could capture and share all of my new and exciting adventures that I will be doing in my life (aka college).

Since I haven't moved yet (5 DAYS!) I decided to share the thing that I will miss most when I move...and yes you probably guessed it; my cat. Misty is my most favorite thing and she has literally been by my side since we got her 12 years ago! (and as I write this she is currently by my side sleeping...go figure.) It's going to be hard not having her to cuddle up by my side while I do my homework or watch TV, or have her come running to me when I call her. (She acts just like a dog, which is wonderful since Santa Clause hasn't given me the present that I have asked for since I was 7...) She really, truly is the greatest thing ever!
