More Winter '09

Getting Groceriessss.

In school, when we would go grocery shopping -- which happened only about 4 or 5 times -- we only wanted to make one trip up those blesses 34 steps to the third floor. So one day when we returned home, we found that we had an abnormally large amount of groceries. So that we didn't have to make so many trip in the freezing cold....i decided to pack almost all of them on myself.

I not only had groceries strapped to me and in my hands but also some were put in my backpack.

I ended up weighing 220 lbs i think.

The Spoonmaster 3000:

This is probably the most tragic story this semester. My friend Kandice Palmer had bought this piece of furniture from some guy, and she had it in her APT fall semester. Because she is on the summer/fall track I told her I would babysit it for her for the winter. Well Lo and Behold after about a month this guy came over and was like yah this is mine, I'm taking it. I was like "uh no, this is my friends, I am just babysitting it for her." We argued for a little bit, I told him if you take it you need to call Kandice and tell her. So he did, and he took it the next day. The question that lingered in my mind, was HOW THE HECK DID HE FIND WHAT APT I WAS IN? AND HOW DID HE GET MY PHONE NUMBER....some people are really good at creeping. So this is the apt the day he took it, as you can see I am not very happy.

This is me in the spot where the spoonmaster sat. You can still see the indentations.
Here is a video that we made as it was leaving us, props to Renee for her video skills in adding the music etc.

Long Over Due.

Hello!! It has been so long since I last posted, not because my life is so busy being in college (it really isn't) but merely because I am just too lazy to get on here and tell stories and post pictures. So I will split the last 5 months into a couple posts so that you can get all caught up!

BYU-IDAHO WINTER SEMESTER 2009

So winter semester was pretty good! I got to live with Renee Comfort, and she was just so DELIGHTFUL!! I loved living with her, she was so much fun, and winter semest would not have been as good, or the same without her. I had really good roommates aswell, we bonded more to the end of the semester which was sad, but still had SO much fun with all of them. Here are some pictures from the semester.

So this semester Renee and I were very creative with how we did somethings. One night we wanted brownies, but we had no beaters, thus forcing us to use our hands. It was messy, but fun, and the brownies tasted pretty good. Another night we wanted snow cones. Well that was easy to make, one we live in Rexburg in the frigid WINTER!! and snow is all around us, so we went out, got some CLEAN snow, and then mixed water with some grape propel, dipped the snow in the propel and viola! Insta snow cone!

Here you can see our bowl of snow, and the pink cup contains the grape propel mixture!

my computer is having problems. So this for now I guess.

Last Week Before the Break!

Well I cannot wait for Thanksgiving break! For a couple reasons.

• Reason #1 : Here at BYU-Idaho we get a full week of.  This coming saturday I will be flying back home to Texas and cannot wait to be home, out of this bloody cold.  Being away from home you really do appreciate all the little things your mom does for you (laundry, dinner) I hate doing laundry I think I have only done it three times while away from home, and I cannot wait to have a home cooked meal, and just chill out and not have to worry about homework, or getting up at 7 am.  So for that I am very thankful for this break that is quickly approaching.  Plus Im excited to see all me family.  I definitely cannot stand some roommates and look forward to being back home with people I have lived with for 18 years!
  

• Reason #2 : Twilight is coming out FRIDAY! Oh my gosh I absolutely cannot wait for that movie to come out.  I have read all the books, twice.  Which is probably less than some of you but still I cannot wait.  I wasted countless hours this summer trying to see as much of the movie as I can before it comes out.  Honestly I can say, I am a little sad with Edward, at first I thought he would be amazing, but now he is only pretty good (he need to get more muscle i think, plus there is an actor who is better looking and has muscle that could've been Edward) Bella looks good, I think it matches her character in the book really well.  The best actors cast are Rosalie, Emmett, and Alice.  I think they look exactly how the characters should look! I saw a picture of all the vampires sitting at the lunch table and my mouth just dropped open.  I could not believe how good looking they were.  I literally felt like one of the students who was just jealous of how great the Cullen's looked. (This is a picture that I found that I think shows the characters pretty well...we'll obviously just have to wait for the movie to really tell!)

• Reason #3 : After this week of school, we have Thanksgiving break for a week (aka NO SCHOOL) Then after that school is almost over.  I am officially done my first semester as of December 12, 2008.  I just counted 15 days of school after the break.  I can't believe how fast this semester has gone by.  Surprisingly college is not as hard as I thought....yet.   But I totally love it.  It's nice not having anyone to tell you what to do, or be home at a certain hour (hopefully those rules are not reinforced when I go back home) But I have met so many great people here, and some of them will be leaving me here in Rexburg (they are summer/fall track) and I will miss them so much!
  

First Post!

Hello Bloggers!...A couple of my friends have blogs, and I just love reading about their interesting lives. So i thought I might as well give it a shot. Granted my life is deffinitley not that interesting, but for those of you who know me this may be a nice way to tell you about my college adventures, and plus I won't have to write as many personal letters to friends.  I really don't have much to say right now except for I hope this is turns out to be a cool blog!
