Happy (Early for today) Easter!!!

My friend Autumn and I dyed some eggs today and then we made deviled eggs. :) It was way fun!
Before we started.

Me :) I was excited

The egg that was dyed every color at the end!

The finished products.

More of the finished products

These eggs peeled PERFECTLY! When I say perfectly, I mean we maybe had 4 or 5 of the eggs that got dents in them from peeling, neither of us had ever seen something like that and we don't know how we got so lucky.  And everything about them should have meant that they wouldn't peel perfectly.... If you want to know more of those details ask me later.

The First Couple of Days

So the first couple days of the semester have been alright. They have been busy for sure! Yesterday I had 3 classes and I think I am going to like them all!  I had populations at risk (we pretended to be homeless the first day... it's totally a social work thing... don't ask), abnormal psychology (I was able to add that class!! Whew!), and child development (my night class that is only once a week but it going to ROCK! I love it!) :) Then I went to my internship for all day today. And it was awesome! I was slightly brain fried cause we (me and the other intern) were introduced to everyone at Health and Welfare.  Then they were trying to teach us how to log into our computer and stuff like that. I feel really official cause we have our own email there. I'm so silly but I'm way excited about it.  I like being busy and I'm definitely going to be busy that's for sure!

Well today walking out of my internship I was rudely welcomed by a parking violation on the passenger side of my windshield. RUDE!!! I started to worry cause I know I parked in the right spot but I almost had to wonder if I hadn't. 
Good thing it was FAKE! :)  Otherwise I really would have had a heart attack and cried all the way back to Rexburg.  (Not going to lie I was pretty mad right when I got it)

Reflections of the Past

My friend had been commenting on how so much had changed in the last two years and how it had gone so fast and how those days seemed not that long ago at the same time.   So I starting thinking about it about the last two years.
Two years ago I had just completed my first year of college, two years ago I had just moved into an off-campus apartment for the first time, two years I had no idea what exactly I wanted to major in (well I had ideas just not a decision) and two years ago I thought I was so far away from so many of my dreams.
My friend Haley and I in the dorms right before the end of the Winter 2009 Semester
If someone had told me that I was going to be sitting in my room working on stuff for my calling and of all the crazy things that have happened this weekend, I would have told them that they were insane and were probably lying to me. But this is my reality!!  I am sitting in my room two years later preparing for my last and final semester at BYU-Idaho(well only if I pass all my classes... Mom! I will, I promise! Stop worrying!), preparing for how busy it is going to be(I'll be juggling school/internship, church/calling, social life, and an institute class), thinking too much about stuff, and worrying how in the world I am going to do well in my calling that I am so excited for, preparing to graduate as a Social Work major, still having dreams but being so much closer to achieving them.  
I am now looking back at the last few years of my life wondering where the time went and how much I have loved almost every moment.  I am looking back and seeing where I learned new things and learned and became a better person.  While I am looking back,  I'm looking forward to the future with hope and excitement!!!

General Conference and Finals Week

This past weekend was INCREDIBLE! I loved being able to go to conference and be in the conference center. It is definitely an experience I will not be forgetting anytime soon. :) It was completely worth it despite the fact it snowed and was cold on Sunday...
The Salt Lake Temple was gorgeous with snow!!!! (I think this is the first time I've ever been there during the day with snow...)

Mom and Grandma!! I love that I got to spend time with them!

Me in the Conference Center!
Now this brings me to finals week... April General Conference is always before the finals week at BYU-Idaho... I've always been a little worried about going to conference right before such a big week but it turned out so well for me to go.  I have gotten everything but my internship completed! I only need 8ish more hours!!! :) I'm way excited! Then it'll be off to Utah for a fun filled adventure with my favorite family!!
