So random story...
Today after school I went home with a friend and we were going to pick up my purse to go out for the night when I realized I didn't have my key :( We knocked and knocked and no one came. So we had to be creative. :) She climed throught the window and saved the day :)
I've been having lots of fun adventures since I've been here.
I'll post more soon as I am sure they'll come :)
Update :) March 2011 REXBURG IDAHO
So I am wayyyyy behind on my blogging which is probably why I continued to put it off. Haha but I need to get it done so here it goes....
I have been in Idaho for almost a month now. It has its pros, as well as it's cons. Rexburg is not anything like Reno, But I have learned there are ways to make your own fun you just need to put forth a little effort.
My first day here I met my roomates.
There is Cassie, Emily, And Annie. :) Already I have learned something from each of them.
Cassie Shares a room with me. She is a spunky, strong-willed, fiery kinda girl. Basically everything Cassie Does is amazing. She is an addict- to her scriptures. Seriously the girl cannot get enough of them. She sits there and laughs at them. Who needs SNL when you have the humor of idiot laman and lemuel? Haha that's her point of view on it I guess :) Also Cassie is from the south. And she taught me recently how to make authentic, (black people) homeade fried chicken :) And the other day she was so sweet and brought me breakfast in bed!!! I love that girl. She's for sure an example.
Emily is as well very spunky. But I think the best verb to describe Emily is frisky. I love when emily laughs. It always lifts my spirits :) She is very in touch with the spiritual as well as literal sides of things. She has a lot of life experience and is a good teacher but also a good listener. She is very in tune with people and how they are feeling. She is my pal to watch ghost movies with. When I start to freak out she always is there to comfort...Or tell me to get a spine haha :) Emily is great. She can always lighten my mood :) Not to mention she has awesome style when it comes to clothes, fashion, etc...
Annie is rarely here, HOWEVER.... when she is here she is usually skyping with friend and talking in spanish. :) She is a very fun girl and she is about to go on a mission. You can tell Annie is an independant strong girl. She has taught me to be patient with relationships. Annie's latina flare makes me feel a little closer to home :)
My first day of school was great. Paul Mitchell is great. They very much contour the curriculum to your individula style of learning. Some people learn better by just listening. Some need to play with something in their hand to keep busy to pay attention. Others need a little energy boost. Ha no worries PM has it covered. Everyday on our desks are toys to play with, candy, markers, etc... Music is often played for those who learn through music. It's such a creative and fun enviroment. Lots of times someone will bust into the classroom and say " He we're dancing get out here" And we all shuffle out to spend a couple minutes improving a line dance. It's definitly a show for our clients :) We have two learning leaders (not to be called teacher) Who are the life of the Paul Mitchell party! Brigite and Courntey. Love them both. They have a lot of patience and so much knowledge. They are great!
I was having such a hard time getting up for school. And I had a blessing. It encouraged me to read my scriptures and say my prayers more consistantly. I have really been trying to focus on that. When I do read and pray I don't have a hard time getting up. I'm coming to find, when i don't i cannot function. I cannot do it on my own and it's ok to rely on the lord. I need his help. I love his help.
Friends have been great. I'm so grateful for those ones I have been able to talk to and get great advice from. I have needed their help as well.
My ward is awesome. LOTS of cute boys to keep me occupied. My bishop is outstanding and it's just a really good enviroment.
The other night in honor of sister I tried to relive her memory in Idaho and I did a hot and cold escapade. Me and a friend were in a hot tob, then we got out, and in our swimsuits rolled on the snow. It BUUUUURRRRRRNNNNEEEDDD! Most pain of my life haha. After the snow we got back into the hot tub... And I thought the first burn was bad.... This was worse. Then I turned around and realized we were being watched the whole time by a boy who was in our ward. :/ All i can say is ":/" Haha.
Tonight there is a Luao. (spell check?) For institute. Then I have some grocery shopping to do which brings me to my last subject...
I overspent on my very unstrict budget. It was completely ad totally my own fault. And my parents helped me out. I miss them so very much. I miss those sundays and home cooked meals. I miss my yiddlest boy. My effort to not miss him has been an epic fail. He is the background on my screen saver. I miss that little guy. He is the best nephew ever. I miss my little brother. I called him yesterday to tell him and I think he was a little weirded out. haha. And I miss my sister Katers. And her pie too :( I miss my Ry and his sweet spirit. I miss my Brudder justin. And his Cara. I miss My Ditty!!!!! And my momma. I want a hug from my momma. I miss watching cold case with her until 3 am :(
I miss my family.
I miss Isaac and the Owensbys.
I miss the heat.
But I don't miss my old life. My old habits (some im still trying to conquer).
I'm so grateful for this new start. I finally get to have the life I need and want.
