Doing Better!

Well just so you know, I haven't forgotten to write on here...I just don't have much to share. Well, I turned 21 yesterday, which was exciting I guess, it's was too much of an exciting day other than dinner with my family and cake!

I am officially a member of the local singles ward, and I am so excited about it. I have really been struggling in my family ward. I cry every time I go to Relief Society because I sit there all by myself with no one to talk to, but when I am in the Singles Ward, I feel so welcomed and have already made lots of friends! I am anxious to see where the fall will take me.

I am doing much better, but am still wishing I were in Idaho. I am going to continue to do my part and do the right thing and let the Lord do the rest. I am living soley on faith and hope right now. And I know that the Lord can't do his part unless I do mine, and that is why I am trying so hard to be happy and enjoy my time being home. Well I gotta get to Institute, love you all!

Nothing New

Well it's been a week now, and I really have nothing to report. Work is going well, I am still anxious to go back out to Idaho, I've really been trying to be social and get involved with the Singles Ward, but it's been really hard. I was taking to someone the other day in the ward and he told me that he used to go to BYU-I...but that he went there when it was Ricks....now you see my problem? lol. This is why I am more than ready to go back to Idaho. Well I am taking some classes online, reading some books and doing some scrapbooking to keep me busy after work, and with all that, surprisingly the days go by so fast for me. (which is good) Welp Casey's kicking me off, so I guess I need to go.

Fantastic News

So as I am sure a lot of you know, I have really been struggling being home. I am not enjoying myself, and really just want to be in Idaho. Well I have been looking for a plane ticket to go visit Idaho mid October. And thanks to my Mom I got a round-trip plane ticket to Idaho Falls for $214. You really can't beat that! And I don't have to pay for my luggage. I am so excited. I am going for a week form October 22nd through October 28th! 76 more days and counting!

All better

Alright I think I got everything figured out finally, I have no idea what the problem was. Thanks!

PLEASE READ

So ever since I changed my background, I've been having a lot of trouble with my blog, and quite frankly, I just can't figure out how to fix it. If you don't see your name on my blog list to the right, then I can't see your blog. Why? Well, I don't know. I can't see Katie's, Lorie's, Karon's, or Aunt Karie's, and more. So I don't know if you guys have have recently changed the security settings on your Blogs, but I can't see them. Now if you don't want me to see them, I guess I understand. lol....But I do love keeping up and seeing what everyone is doing these days. So if you have an answer to this, please let me know. Love you guys.

Georgia on my Mind

Well I made it to Georgia! I am really sad, I had to say good-bye to several people, some of which I don't know if I will ever see again. So it was really hard for me. This last year I was able to get really close to my roommates, Lisa and Karli, and saying bye to them was really hard. I also had several really good friends that I had to say good-bye too. And on top of that, my great-grandmother was in the hospital in Idaho Falls when I left, and I don't suspect to see her again, and that was really sad for me.

But on top of all that, I really am excited to be home. I start work on Monday and am ready to have a pay check again! I don't forsee myself having much of a social life for the next 5 months. So don't be expecting much from me on here. I am going white water rafting this Saturday, in October I plan on seeing the play Wicked, and in November I am going on a cruise, and with a lot of luck, hopefully making a trip out to Idaho sometime between then to see Karli and Lisa. So other than that, my life is dull...lol. Welp gotta go!

Cookies gone bad

So...these are cookies...well at least that's what they were suppose to be. So Sunday night I had a lot of energy, Kyle and Branden were over, and I suddenly was in the mood for cookies. Branden said he would make cookies if I went stadium singing. So we pinky promised. Well me and Lisa went visiting teaching and left the boys home to finish the cookies...and when I get home I see this pan of bubbling cookies in the oven, I pulled them out and took a picture.
The truth is that I mixed everything together because we didn't have any butter, so the boys were out asking all the girls in the complex if they had any butter, and I measured out 3/4 cups of flour and put it on the counter before we left to go visiting teaching. Well when the boys got back to finish the cookies, they put the butter in and the 3/4 cups of flour in thinking that I had measured out the right amount of flour, when in fact 3/4 cups was less than half of what the recipe called for. If they would have looked at the recipe that would have noticed that more flour was needed. Boys are just really silly sometimes. But it was hysterical, I couldn't stop laughing.

So this is Kyle...I blame it on him
Branden me and Kyle...notice how Kyle is pointing at me...
So I made this, and it is 100% edible.
It's a fruit basket, I had to make it for my project.
It's even strong enough to carry like a basket

ONE MORE WEEK

I am so super-duperly sad to leave Rexburg, but am so fantastically excited to go home! Pretty much the same as last year. I am so tired of school and just need a stinkin' break. But I have nearly no friends at home, and it's just going to be sad.

Welp I've got some pictures for ya, but I am really busy today and don't know if I'll get around to it, but I'll get them up here as soon as I can. Love You!
