College Life

NOW is the start of my college life!! I can't believe I'm this old! Ick.
This week has been New Student Orientation (NSO) up at BYU. It's been crazy busy! But a lot of fun! I've met a ton of new friends and I've seen some old friends from Pine View! :) I love it!
So, I moved in on Wednesday. It was a crazy mess. But it's finally all settled! :)
I have all my book and I think I'm set for Monday. YIKES!! College starts on MONDAY!? Where did the summer go??My roommates are a blast! :) Marissa and Catherine! They're fun :)











NSO has been super busy. I'll just name off the fun stuff that we've done. ;) Thursday night we had a class photo in the BYU Stadium. We were in the shape of a 'Y'! It was great! And the best part, I wasn't even looking. :) hahaha I was talking to some friends and they didn't even tell us they were gonna take the picture. Twas grand. After the picture, we had a pep rally and then we had FIREWORKS!! :D it was fun!
Friday night there were a bunch of events that we were able to go to. I had to work from 5-8 (my FIRST day of work!!!) and after I headed over to the Girls Soccer game!! We played Florida...but lost 1-0. :( It was very sad. BUT on the bright side, I got a HUG from COSMO!!! :D YESS!!! It made my night. :) After the game, we went over to another field where they had ice cream and a 40 FT SCREEN where they were watching TANGLED!!!!! :D :D I LOVE TANGLED! It's my favorite movie I think. :)














And that's my college life as of right now! Next week it will just be school, work, eat, homework, and sleep. Joyous...

11 days left until MITCH comes home from his mission!!! I am STOKED!!!!!! :)

Last Day in St. George

I'm up at college now. It's a weird feeling. Being all on my own and trying to be grown up.. I miss being just a lil' kid. :)
I had packed all my stuff about 2 weeks before I actually had to move because we transformed our basement into a bed and breakfast. So this is where I had been sleeping for the 2 weeks before I left...
Okay, not really. :)
I had a bed usually...key word: USUALLY. ;)My parents were kind enough to let me do one last thing with my friend, Tianna!We went to Orange Peel and got smoothies. It was fun :) We had been trying to make cookies or do something all summer, and luckily she didn't have a 6th period, so we were able to take that time to do something before I left! I'm going to miss her so much!
On the way up to Provo, we stopped in Cedar and I got to see Shayna!! It was good to see and talk to her!! I miss that girl.
I'll see her in 1 1/2 weeks when I go down for a homecoming tho! I'm super excited!! :)
Later that night, I went and got ice cream with Jesse and his friend Ammon. It was a lot of fun. :) I love ice cream too, so that made it even better! ;)
Goodbye St. George, Hello Provo!
(Don't worry St. George, I'll still visit.) :)

Everything is gonna be different..

My best friend moved away today. I'm going to miss her so much! She was such a wonderful friend and a great example to me. Hopefully it won't be too long till I see her again. :)A lot of my friends moved away today also. They're all going to SUU. I hope they have a fun time. :)
I move in a week! I can't believe it. My room is packed up and ready to go. I'm ready. :)
School starts in 1 1/2 weeks. That's weird. I'm going to college now! I'm OLD! ;) I have most of my books...still working on the money situation. I'm nervous for the harder classes and bigger homework load. Hopefully I can do it. I'm as ready as I'm ever going to be. ;) Look out BYU! Cuz here I COME!! :)
My friend comes home from his mission in just under 3 weeks. I cannot describe how extremely excited I am! I have missed him so much! I can't wait to hear all the mission stories! :) I forget what his voice sounds like...I'm excited to hear his voice again..haha :) I'm super excited to see him again. Just 3 more weeks...it seems SOOO far away.. Time should move a little faster.. ;)
Everything is gonna be different now. But a good different. I think I'm ready for it. :)
Bring on the adventure! :)

I'm gonna really miss my kitty too. I love you Sassy! :)

I did it!!!

I did it!! After a month of trying to get a job I finally GOT ONE!!! Wahoo!! :)
I went up to Provo a month ago for a week and went around looking for jobs.
My friend, Marissa, was kind enough to let me stay with her for the week! During that week I applied for about a dozen or so jobs.
The rest of the time, Marissa and I played :) And we found out that she went to the same elementary school as I did in 4th grade! It was crazy awesome!
We went and fed the duckies!! :)
There were DUCKLINGS!! Ah they were adorable! SO cute! :)
So, finally after thinking that I was just going to have to go up to Provo without a job, I got a call. I was in Salt Lake for the weekend for my brother's wedding (which was completely fabulous by the way). :) While waiting after the wedding to start the reception I got a call from Jimmy Johns asking if I could come in Monday for an interview. We were leaving Salt Lake Sunday, so after figuring stuff out with my parents, I told Jimmy Johns that I could do Monday!
I stayed that night with Marissa, and on Monday I went in for my interview!!
The interview went great, and after the girl interview me, told me, "Well, you got the job, if you would like it?" I was so excited! I said I would love to have the job and that was that! I have a job!
I start next week!! :)

Subs so fast you'll freak. ;)

Give a me a soccer ball, and I'm in heaven.

Ever since I was 5 or 6 (i think), I have been playing soccer. I absolutely LOVE it! It is my all-time favorite sport, hands down! :)
I loved playing for the past 4 years on Pine View's Girls Soccer Team. It was so much fun and such a great experience!
It's been really weird this summer because I haven't gone to any soccer camps. I'm graduated. :( This past week, my goalie coach called me and asked me to come help out with Pine View Soccer Camp!! I loved it!It was so good to be on the field again, juggling the soccer ball, and just playing! I even got to go in the goal again. I have a hurt knee, so I was a bit scared to go in at first, but they were doing chips, and so I didn't have to dive or anything! It was great!
I got to play forward for a little bit of one game, and I scored!! :) It was super exciting!!
It's weird, but I love being goalie. I love the thrill of that position. Seeing the ball coming, with the opposite teams forward sprinting towards you...it's quite exhilarating! And then stopping the shot they took, it is the best feeling ever! :)I love soccer, and I love playing goalie. I hope that I can play in college, even if it is just for fun! :)

Mahna Mahna..

It's hard to think that I'm graduated from high school and moving out to go to college up at BYU.
One of my best friends comes home from his mission in 70 days. He has been out serving in Manaus, Brazil. He left 2 years ago right as I was beginning my Junior year of high school. It's weird to think that 2 years have already passed and he's coming home!
I'm quite excited for him to come home. It'll be fun to see him again. But I can't help thinking if things will be different. We've both changed a ton in just 2 years..and I hope that we can still be the great friends that we are! I hope things don't change too drastically when he gets home.
I miss him, and I can't wait for September to come!!
