Let the Guessing Begin!

If you haven't figured out or read on facebook already... well, I'm going on a mission and just finished my mission papers as of today! I'm so excited and have never felt this good about anything in my whole entire life. :D  So here it goes, let the guessing begin!!!

This is the picture I submitted for a form I was filling out recently... If you can't figure out what form it is from this picture... Well, you'll just have to wait for another few pictures/posts that I promise will be popping up in the next few weeks.

Friday the 13th

My friend Tara invited me to a get together at her apartment tonight. The plan was to celebrate it being Friday the 13th by making cookies and watching a scary movie.  I was all about the cookie part and had somewhat planned on going home after making the cookies but then I decided that why not stay for the movie too?  (I generally do not like scary movies.) So I stayed and I told myself to  not get creeped out that it was just a movie.  And that basically worked for the most part. 
We started watching the movie. We meaning Tara, two of her roommates, one of her FHE brothers and me.  During probably the first 20 minutes of the movie, one of the roommates got up and went back into her bedroom.  She closed the door that apartments in Rexburg usually have between the hallway and the living room. The end of the movie was rather creepy and right after the credits started,  the rest of us were sitting in the living room.  Well the door between the hallway and the living room swung open. (It opens into the hallway. so we couldn't see behind it...) (and I was the one sitting right next to the door...)  So we all just looked at each other and we were like what just happened?? So Tara and her other roommate called the roommate in the back to ask if she had opened the door (they had been scaring each other earlier).  So we were even more majorly creeped out and we wouldn't go back there. And we hugged the wall by the door. Then I decided to go home. While I was walking home, a cat ran out in front of me and scared me even more. I screamed. It was hilarious. I'm finally calming down.

I'm attributing all the events of tonight to it being friday the 13th. :)

May Update...

Oh my goodness, I do realize I haven't blogged in weeks! Ahhh! Not much besides school and school and school and my internship and oh church and more church have happened... (My life is exciting huh? ehh I guess not) I've just been way busy. I'm mainly blogging this because I know I haven't put up a post in a while. I'm trying to stay on top of my classes which can be hard sometimes. Especially when I totally forget about stuff but I'm way lucky to have teachers who are nice to send out reminder emails. I don't know how I'm going to accomplish everything I have to do especially with my calling.  I guess the Lord called me to this position because I needed to learn how to delegate responsibility inside of just doing it all myself. Though I did decide the bishopric is making it easy for me to procrastinate because they haven't called everyone to their positions yet... Even teachers for Relief Society! ahhh. They're getting there... it's only 3 weeks into the semester... Anyway... I'm going to love this calling and all the girls in my relief society. I know that they are all amazing and they have so much to give the church and the people around them.  I have good feelings about this calling.  :) That's basically the sum of the last 3 weeks. I'm still alive and loving life as always.

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.

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!!!
