So I can't sleep because I am too wired on my day today, what better thing to do but blog about it right? It is the middle of December and its so close to January I can taste the snow that I am about to venture into, as much as I may not like it! This upcoming semester is going to be great! I am determined to make it so and if for some reason it starts to go astray I will make it all better. I am ready to start living my life to the fullest and making memories that will last forever. Now that I have said all of that to make myself feel better and ensure my happiness I can move on to my current life.
As work is winding down to a minimal amount / the end of my being a nanny I find myself counting down the days. For example I only have four more days of watching Wesley and as much as I love him and we did have lots of fun times I am ready to be done. And although I can't count down the exact days of working at Payless I can say that I only have two more weeks before I am done. I feel like even though I didn't make as much money as I needed or wanted to it was a good break and it taught me a lot of things. I now know that as much fun as it is to be at home I am starting to get to the age when being at home is no longer what I want. I need to start looking forward and doing things off on my own because its the only way to grow. (Speaking of growing this is totally off topic but I am watching the Wedding Planner as I type this and Matthew McConaughey has definitely grown to become more attractive over the years. He looks like a baby in this movie haha)
Other than being ready to go back to school and starting something new I keep thinking of what I might do next year. There are so many options and opportunities out there to try when I am only 19/20 and I want to take full advantage of them. I could do the China program to teach English to students next fall, come back home and work, stay at school and just live off of student loans and work my butt off, or maybe even do the Disney Program and go down to Florida next fall. It just all seems so crazy to be this age and have all these options, I just can't make up my mind!
One thing I do know is that I am going to miss the people from home! I miss people from school all the time but I have grown closer to my friends here too. Zeinab and Maysa have become like my sisters and I don't know what I will do when I go back and I can't just drive over and talk about everything into late night. Even the people at work (Payless) have become my friends and I can talk to them about a lot of stuff.
The other thing that I am going to miss are all the choices we have around here of what we can do. Too bad the city of Rexburg can't offer the same things Seattle can because man today I got to explore Seattle like I never have before! I can honestly say that I am comfortable driving around in the city, during the day at least. Even though it was stressful and emotional to be up there and driving all over town I am glad that I did it because I am no longer scared of it haha. No better way than to be forced into it right?!
All in all life is going really good right now and even though this post is all over the board I feel like that is my life lately. When I start to finish off one thought five more pop into my head of things that I need to do, things I want to do, things I need to start getting ready and so much more! But I can honestly say that I wouldn't want it to be any other way!

I know...
Today was a really special day to me and I thought that to remember it I needed to write and think about it again before going to bed. I love being home and being with my mom and my cats and in an environment that has more than two stores but at the same time I really miss school. I love going to BYU-I and I know I made the right choice one year ago to apply and take a chance. That being said I don't want to think that being at home is miserable by any means but at school the Spirit is so strong and I can feel the love people have for each other when I am on campus. Since being home the Spirit has not been felt as much and I miss that feeling of walking into Devo or buildings for church that are also classrooms that I go to twice a week. But tonight I got the best confirmation anyone could ask for, and that's where this post comes into play. I know that this church (The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints), I know that my Savior lives and breaths and watches over me and all his children and cares for us all. I know that we have a living prophet who can lead and guide us in the world today and his name is Thomas S. Monson. I know that I have a great purpose and that through the scriptures and prayer I can be led in the direction I need to. I know that the Plan of Salvation is true and that it can lead all of us home to our Heavenly Father. I know all these things to be true and you also can learn these things to be true through the Bible, Book of Mormon and all other books of this church.
I am proud to be a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints and I am not afraid to tell others about this great church and the truths that lie within it. There is no better time to declare these things than this month where we can not only celebrate the birth of Jesus but also his life and his love for us to make a sacrifice to save us all. I can't wait to go back to school in a month but I know that this next month I need to be here and support those who need it and get things done. I am a Mormon and I know it, I live it and I love it!
P.S to learn more about what I know go to lds.org or feel free to ask me!

A ton to say the least...
So it has been way too long since last posting in this darn thing! I had completely and totally forgot about it until the other day when I saw Michelle has updated hers after getting engaged!! So today since I had the day off and I have news to share I thought I would post something new on here.
First of all since the last time I have posted I finished another semester at college in a new apartment and all new roommates. I learned after the first semester that part of my OCD and being always grossed out was the apartment itself because even when I had just cleaned I still felt like the place was gross. My own fault that I am so picky but sometimes you have to learn new things. So I moved to the IVY and it was a good experience living there but I don't plan on living there again. The only reason why I say that is that it is not realistic living at all. I felt like I was in a hotel as I walked the halls or around the building. I know that I will not have that nice of a place as I start my life outside of my mom's home so I want to live in more realistic places for when I do graduate and move to a more permanent place. I loved my roommates in the IVY though, it took some getting used to of course but I learned that happens with all places. I also had the best FHE family a person could ask for. Of course it was awesome just because of the girls in our apartment but the guys were pretty cool too! ;)
Now being back home for the past two months I just work most of the time. I nanny for an awesome little boy, Wesley, he is four years old and smarter than I feel he should be! haha I can't even keep up with him sometimes because he asks so many good questions! He also knows how to manipulate me pretty well, not a good thing but it gives me some good stories to tell and keeps me laughing. I get to teach him all about math basics, reading, writing, art projects and hopefully much more as I go full time in November.
Along with being a nanny I work part-time at Payless again. I must say as much pain and annoyances that place gives me I just can't seem to quit. I love the people who work there and getting to socialize while working. Because lets face it, most of my socializing is with a 4 year old during the day. Plus its not the worst thing getting to be surrounded by shoes all day.
As far as my family goes my mom had surgery on her hand because of work. She is doing good now and just getting back to the routine of work, cooking, cleaning and the rest of her long list she maintains. (I swear she is crazy but she is still awesome.) My oldest sister Alysha has been married for almost 7 months now and is pregnant with a bouncing little boy. She is so happy to be adding to her family and I am not complaining a bit about it! Little Zeke will be here in January to join the crew, but I hate knowing that I will be back in Idaho when he comes and I won't be able to go down and spend some time with them. I plan on going down as soon as I can though and maybe spending time after I get done with my school year down in Phoenix. My other sister Melanie is doing good still living in Seattle and working two jobs. It sounds like she is doing pretty good and her apartment is pretty cool I must say.
I love being back home in some ways because I get to spend time with my family and experience the pre-college living again, without cooking for myself, cleaning as often or homework, but I do miss school a lot as well. A couple things I don't miss about school though is the lack of children I get to play with! At home there is a ward full of adorable kids that I get to see in primary, my favorite kids (Naama, Hussein, Touli and Ali), as well as kids of friends ( Chloe and Alex). Another thing I don't miss is the lack of rain. Although it hasn't rained a ton since being home, actually it only rained one day I believe, the last two days it has been nothing but rain and it is so refreshing and beautiful outside.
All in all, I am just living my life the best I know how. Saving money for college, trying to entertain myself at home, patiently waiting for my nephew to come to the outside world, enjoying spending time with family and friends and counting down the days until I go back to school.
P.S. I am also feeling a little accomplished for actually writing in my blog for once... I'm sure it will be short lived haha

Not too much..
Not a lot has been going on lately and as you can tell I have already broken my "I am going to blog at least once a week" idea. I feel like this is how it always works, I get this great idea and am so excited to follow through and then I just stop. I don't ever really know what happens really, it might just be that I come up with another great idea and forget about the first... But this time I am going to blame it on studying and homework because honestly I have been doing a lot of that lately.
Other than the regular homework and studying I have just been spending time with my roommates and things have been pretty great. Last weekend it was just me and Kimber chilling most the time, and of course KJ (Kaitlyn Johnson) was here visiting. Then on Monday with most of the roomies back we went to IF and I am excited to say that I have finished my collection of Fast and Furious movies. Except the third one because who even likes that one? I mean Vin Diesel and Paul Walker are not even in it so what is the point of wasting my time watching some guy from Texas fail at driving? That was most of last weekend... not too exciting but I think that is what I needed. It was nice not having to worry about school, cleaning, or doing something right now because none of that mattered.
What else.... I have been missing home a tad and looking on Pinterest is not helping haha. I hate seeing all these cute cats when I know my kitty is sitting at home. Also the food on Pinterest looks good and always reminds me of things that were made for me at home. I must say that I have been rather lazy about cooking lately and don't really feel motivated to change that...
The only exciting news is that my sister Alysha got married today to a great guy. I am really happy for them both and she looked beautiful in her wedding dress. As excited I am for her I am also really sad because I was not able to be there. Not only that but I know my mom wanted to be there more than anything and because they eloped we thought that it was a just the two of them thing. I guess it wasn't though because my aunt and grandparents flew down for the ceremony. I know that it is devastating to my mom that she won't have pictures of Alysha and her on Alysha's wedding day. I just wish there was some way to make her feel better and solve the situation, even though it is too little too late. I also just hope that Alysha's day was all she was expecting and even better for that matter because this should be one her best days. I wish them both all the happiness in the world and lives full of love and good times.
That is all I can think of for now but hopefully I will have more exciting news later this weekend or the beginning of next week...

A wonder weekend
Oh my! This week went by so quickly it is amazing! I think it is mostly because I didn't have too much homework and I had different activities going on but it was nice. Then this weekend I had a blast!
So we will start from the beginning haha. On Friday I went to this open mic night at South Gate and listened to some cool music but we had to leave after only 30 min! :( But it was to go watch as two people opened their mission calls. That was a really cool experience because I have never been there when people get the news where they are going. After we did that we went to a party at the Ivy, my new home for Spring Semester. That was a lot of fun as well because it was my first party here and it was with all my roomies. After we finished at the party we went and got ice cream and then came home to our apartment and watched a movie. Overall a very busy and fun day!
Then on Saturday I got to leave Rexburg! (Only for Idaho Falls but still!) Emily, Sarah and I went to the mall there and I got some new jeans and a light zip up as well as some Victoria Secret spray for only three bucks! I call that a steal! After the mall we went to Walmart and got some groceries and help some of the cutest puppies ever! Too bad I couldn't take one home! On Saturday night Emily, Sarah and I saw the movie "We Bought A Zoo" and that was a really cute and fun movie! Then I went to another dance only this time at the Hart building. It was really fun again and I spent most of my time with Emily, Sarah and their room mates.
Then today, being Sunday, it was fast and testimony. It was a really emotional Sunday, in the best way possible though! I solved some problems with friends, I felt the Spirit so strongly, and I heard a very touching Relief Society lesson. The funniest part of the day was that I bore my testimony to only be asked to give a talk next Sunday for being brave. Ya that made my day all the better! But in all reality I don't mind giving a talk because I feel I have a lot to share. Haha
All in all I really enjoyed this week and weekend because I was busy and never had time to stop and worry. I should have more weeks like this here! Challenge Accepted!!

A new leaf...
Okay I say this every time but I want to blog more and I want to make it a new goal to blog once a week. That should be pretty easy as I see it and I know that when I go to look back at my first semester at college this will be a good journal. I still am loving college life although I find myself getting a little homesick now. It has been almost a month of being here so I feel like this is pretty good for having gone a month before feeling this way. I try to focus on the positives of being here as much as possible but sometimes it is so much easier to think of all the problems. So I am going to take some advice of my room mate and make a pro-con list haha, she would be all too proud to see this!
Pros:
There are awesome people here!
All my classes and teachers are very helpful and good
It is kind of fun to just be away
I have an amazing ward and Bishop and counselors!
This is going to be one of the biggest growing periods of my life
I get to live in a different area and experience more of the world... if you could call Rexburg the world haha
I get to appreciate the people at home more and they get to appreciate me more :) I must admit I like the second part more because I get more compliments
I am getting lots of stories to tell!
Now I am pretty sure that there are more pros than this for college life but of course when you want to think of things nothing comes to mind...
Cons:
My room mates and I have very different standards of clean (besides my room mate that I actually share a room with)
I miss my family, friends and pets at home
I have to actually do everything myself haha it was nice not having to cook every meal and also having a laundry room in the house!
I have no car here and I am having some serious withdrawals from driving!
Oh did I mention that my room mates are messy?! Cause I can not mention it too much! I know that they are not trying to do harm, but come on who wants to live in a mess?
And one minor detail, the water sucks here! I am very glad that I got my filter station for Christmas!
I know that most of the things on the list look petty in the long run but like people always say it is hard to have them not bother you when you are in that moment. I know that my family is here to support me as much as they can from Seattle and I am so grateful for that! No matter what I need they try and help, whether it is advice, to send me something, and of course my mom sending me baked goods that are too spendy to make myself!
This all seems crazy as I write it all out, but sometimes you just need to clear your head by seeing it in writing, well text in this case. That is basically my point in this blog, I need to blog at least once a week to clear my head and record all the things that I do so that I can have peace of mind and have a record of college.
Now that I have that all typed up, onto what I actually did this week! It should be pretty short as this week was pretty boring! I went to school of course and had some great discussions in BOM and Education. Elder L. Tom Perry gave a devotional this week and it was amazing to have someone so influential at school! Then over the weekend I went to Megan Bigelow's wedding reception and she looked so Beautiful! I got to meet her new husband! Sounds weird! I also met Emily's other brother-in-law, and got to see her family. It was great to see people from home as I feel homesick. Makes all the difference to see people who care for you when you need it! Now I only need my cat and my mom to come out and we will be good! haha
That's all I have to tell for now, as you can probably tell I was bored most of the week! I will report next week! After all this is a new leaf!

College life
So I have been super lazy lately when it comes to blogging and I have had so much happening that I can report! I want to start with the good and move to the not so good just because I know that the good most definitely out ways the bad.
Being at BYU-I is a blast! I love being here and all the freedom that comes with it. I know that I had tons of freedom at home but there is a certain freedom that comes from just not having my mom there all the time for me. As much as I loved her there and all the help she gave I am glad to have this experience and the chance to grow from it. My classes are really easy and some even fun, all the teachers are very nice and willing to help you anyway that they can. Which is more you can say for high school teachers! Haha. Most of my classes I have Annie in so I have study help and we get stuff done fast and well together. The only thing that concerns me as of now is that I have two research papers that I need to do and I am not motivated at all to do them! I guess that is just how it goes in school though.
Church here is quite a bit different than at home! I don't mind the difference but I do miss that I had my own bathroom to get ready for church in! This morning I enjoyed an iceberg as a shower! But once again that is how college life goes.
My apartment is pretty nice for the most part, I love my room and the size of it! I am glad to have the room mate that I have to share a room with. We both like things organized, keep things where they need to go and don't mind the smell of nail polish and nail polish remover as we are always doing our nails! Haha
The only not too good thing that I am struggling with here at college is that six girls in one smallish apartment is not working so well. I was really looking forward to having a whole bunch of girls to get to know and love. The only problem is that all of us don't have the same standards of clean. For most people this wouldn't be too much of a problem but I pride myself on a clean kitchen and a good smelling place. As of right now I do not live in one. I love to have no dishes in the sink, the garbage taken out, and to not have to do anything but enjoy a clean kitchen! I am disappointed in ways that I can't seem to find my voice in this situation but I also don't want to be that girl who is always nagging. The only way that I see lately to solve this problem is just to clean it myself. But even then I am cleaning two or three times a day. I thought this was college! Not kindergarten where kids don't know how to load a dishwasher or even wash a dish! I guess I was just given this challenge to teach me something and as I try to search for it I will have to hold my head high and be happy for this opportunity at all.
Overall I enjoy college life but like with any other change there comes challenges. I will just have to learn and grow from it. As of now I just trying to stick with it and have some fun!
Being at BYU-I is a blast! I love being here and all the freedom that comes with it. I know that I had tons of freedom at home but there is a certain freedom that comes from just not having my mom there all the time for me. As much as I loved her there and all the help she gave I am glad to have this experience and the chance to grow from it. My classes are really easy and some even fun, all the teachers are very nice and willing to help you anyway that they can. Which is more you can say for high school teachers! Haha. Most of my classes I have Annie in so I have study help and we get stuff done fast and well together. The only thing that concerns me as of now is that I have two research papers that I need to do and I am not motivated at all to do them! I guess that is just how it goes in school though.
Church here is quite a bit different than at home! I don't mind the difference but I do miss that I had my own bathroom to get ready for church in! This morning I enjoyed an iceberg as a shower! But once again that is how college life goes.
My apartment is pretty nice for the most part, I love my room and the size of it! I am glad to have the room mate that I have to share a room with. We both like things organized, keep things where they need to go and don't mind the smell of nail polish and nail polish remover as we are always doing our nails! Haha
The only not too good thing that I am struggling with here at college is that six girls in one smallish apartment is not working so well. I was really looking forward to having a whole bunch of girls to get to know and love. The only problem is that all of us don't have the same standards of clean. For most people this wouldn't be too much of a problem but I pride myself on a clean kitchen and a good smelling place. As of right now I do not live in one. I love to have no dishes in the sink, the garbage taken out, and to not have to do anything but enjoy a clean kitchen! I am disappointed in ways that I can't seem to find my voice in this situation but I also don't want to be that girl who is always nagging. The only way that I see lately to solve this problem is just to clean it myself. But even then I am cleaning two or three times a day. I thought this was college! Not kindergarten where kids don't know how to load a dishwasher or even wash a dish! I guess I was just given this challenge to teach me something and as I try to search for it I will have to hold my head high and be happy for this opportunity at all.
Overall I enjoy college life but like with any other change there comes challenges. I will just have to learn and grow from it. As of now I just trying to stick with it and have some fun!
