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!!
