Before...

After...

PS Contributions would be appreciated!

This summer I have decided to take a traveling course through BYU-I. The tour will take place during the first block of summer semester and is only offered to about thirty-five students this year. I have been priviledged to be chosen to go, while I am there I will be taking biology and anthropology classes as we travel through Mexico, Guatemala, and Belize. The trip will cost $2500 plus tuition, books, and personal expenses. I would greatly appreciate any contribution you could make to my cause. I know this experience is going to be very rewarding, both personally and educationally, and I am earnestly looking forward to it.
If you, your company, or anyone you know would be willing to help please let me know. And I can send a personalized letter to them requesting their help. Anything will be of great help. Thank you for considering helping me and I will remember all help I recieve as I travel and learn amazing things that will change my life.
Please leave me a comment, e-mail me, or call me with any questions!

62 Days till Mexico but who's counting?

Brett wanted me to put a picture of my black eye up (from jumping off my apartment, so worth it) and well it's not a very good one and my room mates say it was a lot worse then this picture seems but I don't think it was all that bad.

Brett also informed me that it has been a while since I posted anything. And well there's a good reason, this past week was half way through this semester so every teacher decided to pile on the projects. Pluss I started a job, I do custodial work on campus from 4am to 7am mon through fri, yes it's early and no it has not affected my night life yet but I haven't been doing it long enough, and once it starts taking time away from my evenings (because I'm so dang tired) then I might have to look into other options. But it's a good job, pretty easy and pays better then any of the other jobs I've been looking at. Considering the fact that I was already tired all the time I have now become more of a zombie and my days seem to smush together and I can't remember when I did what or when I supposed to do what. So I live for the weekends even more!

Well nothing too exciting has happened recently cause I've been too busy to want to do much, whenever I have some free time I either take a nap or just relax with my friends because I takes way too much effort to do anything else. But last sat I went rock climbing and it was fun but I was too worn out to truely enjoy it:/ but the sat before I did go snowboarding and it was amazing (I wish I could go all the time and get good at it!).

Well I noticed my last post was on valentines day and I thought I would mention my evening sure ended up looking up... I went and got dinner with my room mates boyfriend and then went to the library to print stuff off, little did I know they were trying to keep me away from the apartment for a bit. My friend had bought balloons and candy and put them in my room while I was gone and then when I got home he was just chilling on my couch, so I went to put my coat in my room and realized why he had been there, it was pretty cute.

So I have started count downs again...

hopefully 12 days till I take a trip to Utah

hopefully 33 days till I get to go see the family for Cache's blessing

**45 days till The Office starts up with new episodes

45 days till winter semester ends

62 days till I leave for Mexico

93ish days till I go to DC!

100ish days till I go home and have to work my butt off:(

WOW! I'm so excited for the next few months!!!

Happy Single Awareness Day... I guess

Well classes are going good. The weather has been pretty good lately. Boys are well boys. Basically... life is pretty good. Since I live in Rexburg life isn't all that exciting but I try to keep things exciting so lately I have...

watched pond skimming, you going skiing or boarding down a hill and get enough speed and skim over a pool of water, def. would have been sweet if I was good enough at boarding to do it.

jumped off the 2nd and 3rd floor of my apartment into snow, yea it's really easy to get hurt by doing this but well that didn't stop me (I did get a black I, serves me right I guess).

went sledding on well it wasn't really snow, more like a sheet of ice so we decided to go off jumps making me fly about 3 feet into the air and then not land back on the tube, yea it kind really hurt but I got back up and went again and again and again.

I bake cookies a lot and make breakfast for friends all the time, which is weird for me cause I never really cooked much until i go here.

I have watched probably over a hundred movies since I've been here, and lately we've been on a scary movie streak because my friends are trying to find one that I actually get scared in, none of that jump because something pops out and I fine the rest of the time.

I have played a few games, including twister with way too many people on the board.

I've been on a few dates but mostly just chill with lots of people.

And of course the temple dedication which was amazing!

Well that is a well kind of short not really, more like long, recap of what I do when I'm not in class or studying (wait that's why I came to college, someone should have told me that before). Well Happy Valentines Day ya'll and have a good 3 day weekend (if you get Pres. Day off), I know I will.
