Rexburg the Iceburg!

Just thought I should change my blog a little since I haven't done it in some time! There is so much to say but not enough time to say it all! I guess I will just tell a few highlights so you know what is going on.

-I've been to two choir concerts so far this semester.
-I've been to the cheep seats once. (I saw Harry Potter 7 part 1)
-I've gone on two dates...both the same weekend.
-I've visited my Grandparents once.
-We (meaning my girl friends and I) had some friends from out of town come into town for the long weekend.
-I went sledding once.
-Been to Idaho Falls twice for shopping and eating out somewhere not in Rexburg.
...Lets me think here!
-I've slipped on fallen on my butt more times then I fingers to count it one.
-I've had one job interview for possibly working at Jacob Lake Inn over the summer.
-Last but not least I am enjoying my time up here at school. I have wonderful class, great roommates and even better friends who will be friends for years and years to come!

I hope you all are enjoying your winter and hopefully staying a little warmer than I am!

Missing Home!!!

I got on and looked at my sisters blogs today and the home sickness I have been feeling has just become a bit deeper! seeing pictures of my family all together making new memories with out me just breaks my heart into a million pieces. Danyelle is doing great and so is Jared rocking as a coach! So so so jealous that Jared got them a new puppy so they have two dogs and I have none! But I do have a dog that I got to help take care of for a little while until it found a good home...this is Gabby she is so dang sweet and I love and miss her but I know she is in a great home that needs her! What a wonderful time we had the week of thanksgiving. Courtney and I sure miss our little friend!Shanda and Chad took the girls shopping on black Friday and sad to say I missed black Friday shopping this year! :( Payton got to enjoy her first McDonald's Breakfast ( that is tradition for my sisters and I to get while out black Friday early in the morning!) All though I missed a lot of the fun at home by being at school I still had a good holiday! It was just Courtney and I in our apartment and it was truly bliss!!!! We had a great time relaxing watching movies. We learned about a 100 different ways to cook a turkey on the food network which was really fun and very educational. :) We also spent a lot of time in the kitchen baking cookies and all sorts of goodies! Gabby sure did enjoy sitting at our feet waiting for us to spill! She did her job very well we didn't have to sweep all week, hehehe!!!Here is a little bit of the mess but I find it made for a great picture and we had lots

of fun with decorating!Oh, and Rexburg got a lot of snow over the week and with all the wind it blew into our entry way...as you can tell you can see some of the sidewalk but our first 5 stairs were covered in snow...that created a fun little adventure for not falling when we attempted to head out.From the mouth of Payton: "Squirrels, I hate squirrels!"
This guy has been hanging around and he gives a fright every time the door is opened and he see and hear him scamper up the wall then he watches as you walk up and down the stairs. It is way creepy! I am just waiting for the day he decides to attack.

Well I think that is all I have to report. I am finishing school off strong and in 10 days I will be home with my family enjoying every moment and getting as much love as I can from my nieces and sister...oh, and mom and dad as well! :) I really am so excited...my mom is off the entire time I am home and we are going to have so much fun together I really can't even wait!

...Happy Holidays!

ps...I'm in liked with a guy!!!

Artsy Fartsy!

So I have an amazing class this semester it is elementary art methods so I have lots of fun projects that I am doing all week long this is one that I really like how it turned out! We had to make a small box that represents us!
Thank you Danielle MacDonald for all the cute wrapping you always wrapped my gifts in because I used it for my project! The purple and green are all me so it worked perfectly! I love bows so I made two on it. I LOVE how it turned out!

Hot water blow out!

So I have lived in the apartment I am in now for about 6 months and we have always had this weird goo growing from our hot water tank I was just waiting for the day it was going to explode...well that day came a few weeks ago...we got a slow leek from it! Maintenance came and fixed it and we have a nice new tank with out anything strange growing from it. Yeah! three buckets of water in just a little over 6 hours! wow
