Here are some pictures of my life the past 2 weeks!

This is the living room of my gorgeous apartment. 

 And the other side...sorry it's blurry.

 Kitchen.

 Bathroom.

 Bathroom pt. 2

 My wall collage (love you guys!)

 My side of the room.

 Our pet fish named Nigel. Shh...don't tell our manager!

 The beautiful Rexburg temple :)

 Trying to capture the flooding incident. What you can't see here is that it was coming out of the ceiling vent and the electrical socket. It sounded like it was raining in our bathroom!

 The (noisy) clean up crew that stayed with us for about a week.

 My new friend, Omar. Look at that gun!

 Hardcore.

 Random bones we found that night in the desert...creepy.

 Making brownies with my best friend.

 My roommate Carol Ann is creeping on a ward speed dating activity happening in the courtyard below us. She was also enjoying her jell-o.

 Here she is again randomly chilling beneath her bed. I actually think she was trying to re-route her electrical cords.

Here I am about to shoot a real gun for the first time. Omar was giving me some instructions so that I didn't go crazy and shoot aimlessly (you better thank him for that!) This was only one of several guns I shot that night. It is a shotgun and boy does it have a kick to it! My shoulder is still sore today from this.

Hey Guys!

Holy smokes. I am terrible at consistently writing on here, sorry about that! Who would have thought that snail mail would be an easier and better way to hear from me then here on the computer. Anyways, I am back in Rexburg attending school at BYU-I for the fall semester and I am already having a way better experience than the last time I was here. I am in such a better place now and am loving the environment, my apartment (which is way nice!), and all the people I am meeting. I have seriously met way more people and done way more things just in these first 2 weeks than I did all last fall. I have gone dancing, to the straw maze, shooting and just crazy with some pretty awesome people. And yes, I am sure that a lot of you want to know about dating and I have already been on about three times the amount of dates then last time. That's pretty darn good for me! I love the independence and freedom I have with myself regarding pretty much everything in my life. It is so great! Sorry Mom and Dad ;) And I can't forget my awesome roommates. Wow, have I been lucky or what. I live with 5 wonderful girls, that I didn't even know, who always know how to put a smile on my face and make sure I leave the house with a tummy ache from laughing so much. We have already experienced flooding, no internet and no power within our apartment all in these first 2 weeks. That sure has left some memories for us.
It has also been a bitter sweet time for me as I have been up here and remembering where I was at and what I was going through a year ago. (In case you didn't know, I didn't come back up to campus in the spring) I will admit, I had a little anxiety attack upon arrival but sure enough there was nothing for me to worry about. I am just so happy and so blessed to be where I am at in my life right now. I am young, wild (haha) and free and I need to enjoy the here and now while it lasts. Thanks for all the love and support <3 Hopefully I will get better at keeping up with the blog.

P.S.- I will have pictures of my adventures up soon!
