MAJOR Event Update

Here is the post that I wrote about last time; the one I said would be coming soon.... let's start back in November when I last posted...

November: I didn't get to go home for Thanksgiving break because I had to work my first Black Friday at Famous. So my good friend, Jonathan Maughan, invited me to his house to spend Thanksgiving with all of his huge family!! It was definitely one of the most fun days I've had in forever! Jonathan's family is incredible and he has the absolute cutest nieces and nephews on this planet!

December: I went home for the two weeks before Christmas and worked at the Famous there. I came back on the 28th and worked at my Famous in Logan until school started again... It was TERRIBLE!! My roommates were all gone and I was ridiculously bored ALL WEEK!! Missed them like crazy!!

Bucket List Update #6

Ok kids.... I now have the blogger app on my iPod so hopefully it won't be sooooooooooooooooooooo lllllllllllloooooooooooonnnnnnnnnnnnnnngggggggggggg between posts!! An update post is coming later but for now.... I crossed #34 off of my bucket list!

I went on a date :) Thanks for the food Nicholas!!

Obama vs. Romney

I know, I know, you're all sick of hearing about the election so this is my last post about it, I promise! Because let's be honest, every time I hear it brought up, I want to gag and throw up! BUT President Obama has been re-elected and will be the President of the United States for the next four years. Yes, I am sketchy about this and no, I don't agree with him or some of his policies. BUT he is the President and I will respect him because of that. He won the election which means that more people in the US believe that he is better suited than someone else.

But regardless of who is President of the United States, God is the King of all. He knew the outcome of the election before we even started voting. He has some divine plan for us and he needed President Obama in office for another term to fulfill his plan. There is nothing we can do now to change the results of the voting, but it's our responsibility now to pray that our President has the strength and courage to do what's best for this country and it's people!

God be with us and President Obama... Please.... :)

Until Next Time, "When the Power of Love overcomes the Love of Power, the world will know peace."

Bucket List Update #4

Hey kids!!
 
     I crossed off another thing on my bucket list! I fell asleep during a movie!! Check me the freak out! Ok, I know that might seem like an odd thing to want to accomplish, but it's almost impossible for me to fall asleep while a movie or tv show is playing. I just get too caught up in the movie and watching it and don't think about sleeping. But on the 19th of September, at approximately 2:00 in the morning, I was watching a movie called Courageous with my roommates Shandee and Emi and Jon Maughan and I fell asleep! I woke up when the movie was almost over and I got super excited! :)

Thought I would just let you all know real quick!

Round Two... Don't Mind If I Do

Welp Folks.... here I am again. Back up at Utah State, back to blogging on a weekly basis... it's gonna be great! First, let me tell you why I haven't blogged about anything interesting in a really long time. It's because my life is SUPER boring during the summer. I worked two jobs, slept for 8 hours and would get up and do it all again the next day, nothing to blog about at all! But now that I am back at school, there is definitely adventures that are bound to be had!

Before I moved up to school I did a Cafe Rio run with Kyle and Chelle! It's been forever since I had been there and it was delicious as always! Great food with wonderful friends! Love them dearly :)

Also before I left for USU, my dearest cousin Caleb had his farewell talk and lunch, which my whole family went to. He is leaving in two days for the MTC and he will be serving in the Vancouver, Canada mission! I am SO thrilled for him! Can't wait to finally have a family member on a mission to write!!

I'll miss him like crazy... but he's going to be one amazing missionary!! :)

This year at Utah State, I am rooming with Marlee Kate Matta! I met her last year when she lived just down the hall from me and we have been friends since. Coincidentally we were put in the same apartment in the same room.... crazy, right?! But she is spiritual and wonderful and I love her to pieces! My other roommates are Emi and Kate, who were friends with Marlee before moving up, Shandee girl who I knew of before moving up here and Erin :) We've had loads of fun so far!

For FHE on Monday with the new ward, we had hogie sandwiches on the Quad and just got to get to know the ward, bishop and his counselors a little better. Marlee introduced us to her friend Parker, who is rooming with her brother Eric. He is over at the apartment all the time now, which is great, because he's a doll and is really funny! Kate's friend Mikey has also been over to the apartment frequently. He too is a blast to have around!

On Wednesday our ward went to the open house for the Brigham City temple. We walked through it with the boys from across the hall, Brad, Logan and Max. It was seriously SO beautiful! I can't wait to be married in one one day!

Shand, Mar, Me and Kate

Standing in front of the COOLEST mosaic! Loved it!

It's only been a week of school and already the roommates and I have shared TONS of laughs and met LOADS of new people. I LOVED Snow Hall last year more than anything and the adjustment has been really hard. I have set unrealistic expectations which in the end will end up disappointing me if I don't change my view. Yes it's hard, but it's gonna take some time to get used to new places and new faces. I love my Snow friends, but I am looking forward to loving my Pine View ones just as much!

Also, one final note.... ELDER NIELSON IS HOME!! I LOOOOOOOOVE when friends start coming home from missions! It's the best :)
