Happy by Nevershoutnever is one of my favorite-est songs! If you've never heard it, find it on my playlist and listen to it. :) It pretty much describes how I am feeling! (well, at least how I was feeling this past weekend of the 10th)
Mitch came home from his mission this past Wednesday!!! :D I was able to go home to St. Geezy to see him and go to his homecoming. Pretty much, it was the BEST weekend ever!!!!!! :D

He took me on a date, and it was superb. :) It was just what I wanted to do! He took me to lunch at Cafe Rio, and then after, we went and fed the ducks at our duck pond!! :) We sat on the edge of the pond and fed the duckies (we saw Caramel! But not Penguin) and then talked for about 4 hours. It was grand. :)
Then we went to Emerald City Smoothie and got smoothies and sat and talked for a while again.
I didn't want the day to end honestly. :) I didn't want the weekend to end! I didn't want to come back up to Provo. It was hard to leave. But I'm super glad I was able to go down!! :)

Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!

School starts TOMORROW. Oh my goodness. I cannot believe it. AT. ALL.
All my books are in my backpack and ready to go. I'm ready to learn! :)
Last night we had a huge finale party where there was a dance and games and a bunch of fun stuff! (Including ICE CREAM!!) :) It was a ton of fun! The dance was HUGE! There were a TON of people! And then, it started raining on us!! It was awesome! I got soaked! Twas prolly one of de best dances eva! ;)
Today we went to church! We are the 122nd ward. Out of...I dunno...a kabillion. :)

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! :)
