Only Two Weeks Left!

There are only two weeks left of my Freshman year at Utah State University. How sad! I need to break out the camera again! I haven't taken a lot of pictures lately, which is super depressing. I need to get on that! I've had so much fun this year and have grown so much. I can only imagine what next year will bring! Well, here's the update from this week:

Monday, Joseph and Amanda came to my apartment and we visited for awhile. We ended up going to Panda for dinner that night because I was starving and was craving shrimp. It was delicious :) I had a great day with my besties!

Tuesday, Lauren, Christy and I went to Heather's house to give her a graduation present. We bought her a table she's been wanting. Lauren had a key to her house, so we "broke in" and set up her table and waited until she got home to surprise her. Man, did she jump high after we jumped up from behind her couch and surprised her! surprising people never gets old :) After that, we all made our way back to Logan to go to Fiddler On The Roof for Creative Arts! It was a great show :)

Wednesday I worked on my Research Paper and then went to Joseph's house with Amanda and Brad to watch a few episodes of 24, one of my favorite TV shows! If I could, I'd watch a whole season in a day ;) It was great fun! Then I had to go home to stressful things. I had to register for classes and it's wicked hard to get in the ones that I want to get into! It'll be so much better next year when I can register a day earlier than I could this year. If I hadn't gone and done something fun right before registration, I think I would have exploded. It was so frustrating! Oh well! Ha ha :)

Thursday I worked on my Research Paper once again and then went to a great rehearsal for LDV. We went for an extra half hour to work on some music for our show coming up soon. Afterwards, Joseph took me on a date to get a Frosty at Wendy's and then we went back to my apartment to visit.

On Friday, I went to Idaho for Latter Day Voices to perform for a Seminary in Preston. It was such a special experience! We came back to campus, I took my quiz and then I walked around the Quad with Amanda and Brian because it happened to be Day on the Quad on campus! After that, we went to the Institute building for Latter Day Voices! Shaun, my betrothed, (ha ha, not really, but we like to pretend) came with me to LDV that day :) After LDV, we chatted at the Institute building and then went straight to Amanda's. Joseph ended up picking me up from Amanda's to take me to a Variety Show at the high school he graduated from. I was impressed at how much talent there was there! It was really good! We left halfway through and came back to Amanda's for hamburgers and shakes. The original plan for the night was to have a chick-flick night, but when Skylar showed up, plans changed. He took the computer and we ended up watching stupid (forgive me, Skylar) YouTube videos. Skylar and I had been planning this chick-flick night for ages and what do we do? We watch dumb YouTube videos. Oh well, we still had a blast! I don't regret it! ha ha ha :)

Saturday was a wonderful day :) I took Amanda to my Easter family party at my aunt and uncle's house. It was fun to see the family, enjoy a wonderful lunch together, and be able to enjoy each other's company. After the family get-together, we had our last Stake Conference for Latter Day Voices. It was a very special Stake Conference. Afterwards, Amanda, Brad, Joseph and I went to Walmart to get stuff for Easter dinner. We went to Amanda's apartment after Walmart and visited there. I loved my Saturday!

Today, I'm helping Amanda with dinner and we're going to have an Easter Feast with a few friends :) I'm super excited! :)

Crazy Fun! :)

Monday I got together with Joseph! It was a great day :)

Tuesday I went back home for a job interview.  When I got back, I hung out with Joseph and Amanda. We talked and watched a few episodes of Psych while I worked on a paper for English. Afterwards, I helped Christy with her math and went to bed.

Wednesday I went on a walk by myself after LDV and then came home and did some homework.  It was quite refreshing! It was lightly sprinkling and the wind was blowing. It was one of those moments that made me feel grateful to be alive! I came home and did some homework and then Amanda came over. We had dinner and ended up watching Aladdin and the King of Thieves and 27 Dresses.

Thursday, I went to class, had a personal conference with my English teacher, and then came home. I worked on some homework and then went to Latter Day Voices. We decided to party afterwards, so we all jumped in cars and went to Chili's. After Chili's, Brad and Joseph came over and we talked for awhile. Good day :)

Friday, I went to classes and then got a ride home from my grandparents. Not a super eventful day, but still good! :)

Saturday was a busy and fun day! We got up, finished packing and headed to Provo! On the way, we stopped to run a few errands and I got two new shirts! YAY! :) We visited with my grandparents for a bit before we headed to Provo for my cousin's fiance's bridal shower! It was great to meet her! I'm going to have an amazing new cousin! After the shower, my aunt, my two cousins and my family went to Olive Garden for dinner. After dinner, my family swam and the hotel and relaxed. It was great :)

Sunday, we woke up and had a delicious hotel continental breakfast and then went to the hospital to visit my Grandpa's brother in the hospital. Afterwards, we visited with my grandparents' and my aunt that's in town from North Carolina and then drove home. On our drive home, we passed eight temples and saw seven out of the eight from the road! It was such an amazing experience! Temples are really starting to dot the earth!

When I got back to my apartment, I called Amanda and told her we needed to have a movie night. We talked for awhile and had a surprise visit from Matt and Wyatt! I love those men :) They are such great leaders! Joseph came over later and we watched the seventh Harry Potter movie. :D

I LOVED my week :) It's been such a great school year! I'm really sad for it to end in a couple of weeks, but I know it can only get better from here!

A Late Update... :)

Ha ha ha ha :) Life has been so busy, I haven't had time to update my blog in awhile! So here I go!

The highlights of the last week in March!

I went to Jamba Juice twice! I was surprised by my friend, Joseph one time :) I was forever grateful!  The second time was with Christy, Brenna, and Taylor. It was super random, but I was content with that! Jamba Juice surprises are always grand :)

Jamba Juice Excursion w/ the Roomies! :D

March 31 was grand :) I went to LDV that night and then a bunch of us went to Skot's apartment and watched Tangled! Afterwards, Madison drove Amanda and I home and we sat in the parking lot and talked for three hours. It was so much fun!!!

April Fools Day was such a beautiful day outside :) Ahh. I wore my new sandals and shorts and enjoyed the beautiful weather! It was lovely. I went back to Pleasant View that day to be with my family for General Conference.

April 2 was a good day :) after watching General Conference, my family and I went over for our traditional girls  night while the guys went to Priesthood. We watched Tangled, had great food and I had my eyebrows waxed! LOVED it :)

I went home on April 3 and did some homework and then watched Tangled yet again with Amanda, Christy and Austin. It was great fun :)

Now..... last week! :D

Monday, April 4, I went to class and then Amanda and I went on a walk. I had a Biology test the next day, so Katie, a friend of mine from class, and I met at the library and studied for a few hours for it.

Tuesday I took my test and worked on an English assignment for almost all day.  Then Joseph came and got me and took me out for ice cream and we talked at my apartment. We attempted to watch Tron but Joseph had never seen it and we kept talking, so we gave up on that after awhile. That was a fun night :)

Wednesday, Amanda and I went to Skot's "neighborhood" barbeque. It was a blast! Hung out with a bunch of fun people there and watched "Who's Line Is It Anyways" for most of the night. ha ha ha :)

Thursday after LDV, a big group of LDV-ers went to Juniper for dinner and then some of them migrated to my apartment afterwards. So fun :) I love my friends!

Friday was a good day :) I got to see my good friend Daniel open his mission call! It was my first time witnessing someone open their mission call. It was so fun! He's going to the same mission as my best friend, Justin Marriott!  There's a chance that they may be companions! YAY! That night I went to Brent Homer's house and attended one of the best parties I've been to in awhile! I laughed until I cried several times that night. SO fun :) LOVED IT!

Saturday, I got some stuff done around the apartment, did laundry and went grocery shopping. That night, Amanda, Todd, Madison and I went to Taylor Miles's improv show! It was good :) Afterwards, Amanda and Madison came over and we chilled for awhile. It was amazing!

Today..... well- to be quite honest, not the best day. I was ornery all day. But I"m looking forward to a great week ahead of me!
