I want to tell you all about my new friend, Michael :) We became friends last week and have uh seen a lot of each other since our first meeting. Ha! Just in-case we start dating someday soon i don't want to shock anyone.. so i thought I'd warn you all now, that I like Michael :)

Michael and I are in the same ward here at BYU. He is 6'5" ,from San Diego CA and is getting his Masters in Information Systems right now. He is very sweet and I'm very much enjoying getting to know him.

Tomorrow he is coming over to help me cook dinner for my dinner group and then we are going to go to campus to watch his roommate perform in BYU Idol. After that we'll probably attend treat night at my old apartment (112). Friday we are going to volunteer at the TRC in the MTC and then come back and watch The 3 Amigos. I'm excited to spend time with him!

First exam

That's right. I'll be taking my first exam today. I'm learning lots of new interesting words for it like anakalypteria, kaunakes, rincinium! There are a hundred more words just like em too. For some reason I always experience test anxiety. I don't think my tummy likes exams very much. I should go on a fast from them.

I had a pleasant surprise this week when my friend Gary let me know he was in town for the career fair! We grew up together in Rathdrum. He's currently roommates with my brother Ethan in Iceburg. I can't help but give him a hard time when i see him for all the teasing he did to me when we were kids ha ha... someday Gary I'll forgive you and you'll be off the hook ;) We made cookies and then went over to my old apartment for treat night, mmmmm! We ended up staying late to play a card game, flux. I'm not sure i like it. Anyways it was fun to hang out with Gary and catch up on each other's lives.

This weekend will be super fun and filled with some exciting adventures :D I really need to get back to studying. Ayo ayo!

Funny realization

I was coming home from the gym tonight and had a funny realization. I looked at the gas prices It appears that the gas prices are controlling my weight. They are so stinkin' similar, it must be true! The prices have been steadily increasing just like my weight, ugh. I sure hope they go down soon or I may be in trouble he he he :)

First Blog Post!

I've wanted to try this out for a while now, but wasn't sure if I would have enough to talk about. We'll see :) I am one week into my last semester here at BYU. So far so good! I'm taking 9 credits this semester-- by far the easiest. I have a class called Work and Relationships in the home where we discuss housework! I'm also taking History of Apparel. I'm learning about the clothing and costumes of the ancient times to the present. I love my religion class, The Living Prophets. I mean who wouldn't love assignments to listen to the prophet and apostles??? I'm so blessed to be at BYU! This week we heard from President Monson and Elder Holland, both gave incredible talks. I have two exercise science classes. One is Weight Training and the other is Self Defense. I took the same weight training class last year and loved it so much that i wanted to take it again -- actually the truth is I'm taking the class to get me to the gym hehehe. I'm taking the self defense class with my old roommate and friend, Anna. I wish my brothers were around to practice on! I switched wards this semester (same complex). It was a really good change. I really like the people in the new ward and my new roommates. I love that I'm still close by my old ward and roommates and can visit every day if I want! Next time I post i'll try and be more specific and give more details :) but at least you all know where I'm at in life.
