FALL

Well I realized I have not posted in a long time. School is very busy and hectic and trying to blog is hard! But I will fill you in with the last couple months.

*SEPTEMBER*

This month was full of adjustment to BYU Campus and my classes. I felt a little crazy some of the time!


This is a picture of my bedroom,  I just love my apartment and how close I am to campus! Provo is just gorgeous in the fall!

OCTOBER**
 This was a busy month for me! I loved every minute of it. We had CANADIAN thanksgiving. It was extra special for me because my family came down to Provo. I wasn't able to get any holidays down here at school for Canadian thanksgiving...such a bummer! Then it was Halloween and my roommates and I went as 80 girls!


I was so happy that my parents and brother were able to come down to Provo. I love my family soo much and I was so happy that I got to spend some time with them for a weekend. =) Even SAMMIE came. 


We got family photos done in October, and this is one of them.. Sammie looked so cute with her black bow! And yes..that smile was photoshopped in.


NOVEMBER*

Well I am shocked that November has already come and is almost over!! It has been another busy month for school. I have had midterms practically all month. I feel like the Professors especially like to pile tests and assignments on right before American Thanksgiving.



We had our final football game last weekend! My roommates and my friend Leslie all went! It was so fun. Then later that night, me and Leslie went to my friends Dance Performance at BYU. She did an amazing job.




L.O.V.E these two!

Well If you lasted through this long post, thanks for reading and I hope you enjoyed it! 
 I have had a busy semester so far but I am enjoying every minute of it. I have learned that you especially need to be grateful for where you are in the present. I feel that sometimes, we just want to always look to the future, but we need to appreciate the little moments. Like waking up in the morning to your loud alarm or just walking through campus. I am thankful to be here at BYU right now, and all the experiences that I am learning and the friendships that I am making. 



Till Next time-- xoxo

My Favorite Things...

I thought I would start a blog, so hear it goes...

This summer has been very eventful for me. I have accomplished many things that I have wanted too and feel that Im on a path that I want to follow. Ever since I can remember, I have always wanted to go to BYU Provo. It is a goal that I have had to work very hard for. However, when I didn't get accepted the first time I applied, I was disappointed, to say the least. I got accepted to BYU-Idaho and wasn't sure that I would like it. However, I was REALLY wrong. Going to BYU-Idaho has been one of the many highlights. I love the campus, teachers, the temple, and the forever friends that I met. You girlies know who you are, the kit kat has a special place in her heart for all of you!
I learned so much about myself, while I was there. I have grown to love the school and the opportunities that it offered me.
So now it is bittersweet as I move on to Provo. I won't forget the memories, or my life long friends.
Luckily, its only 4 hours away, so its not out of my reach to go there... YIPPEE!!


I bet you wonder why my dog is at school...Well, that is another story and another post. Lets just say she is a big part of my life so far...
Oh and I am in front of one of my favorite buildings in Rexburg, the Taylor building is soo pretty inside. Also, I am related to John Taylor- He is my great, great, great grandpa.




The wind in Rexburg never gets old. Oh, how I love Idaho...seriously I really do =)




Jacque, Arielle, and Me. People called us the "blonde, brunette, and the red head"- We are a trio.


Me and Chloe. We were lucky enough to go see David Archuleta in December...Yes, I know you guys are all jealous. Chloe even met him at institute in California this summer, lucky girl--she is a big FAN.

Some of the crazy things that I did in Rexburg this year:

1. Walking to Broumlins (I still dont know how to spell that) countless times
2. Polar Dipping
3. Dance partys in 422
4. Bumper shining
5. Sand Dumes
6. Ice Caves
7. Hiking
8. Oh I cant forget....studying lol-- I REALLY did lol
9. Apartment pranks
10. Shopping in IDAHO FALLS...the next best thing

Well, I am super duper happy that I was in Rexburg this year. I learned so much, and grew. Life long memories are mine forever.

This is the start of my story... Stay tuned

"Life isn't about finding yourself, life is about creating who you want to be"

For now that is my goal =)

till next time*
