Mission Accomplished!

Ever since my first day at BYU-Idaho, I have had one goal before I left this place: To hijack one of the gators and ride it around campus! Well last night I was able to drive the gator around campus, but my dang supervisor let me, so it really wasn't a hijacking! When he told us that he was going to let us drive it over to the building I was so excited!!! Here is proof!

I Instragrammed it so it turned out a little better quality!! 

I was just a bit excited!!!

New Do!!!

This past weekend was super boring because I was just resting up from a week of not sleeping during my job! Yep, I work from 12-3 in the morning, but my coworkers make it super fun! Today I had another fun experience of going to Paul Mitchell hair school and it took the girl 2 HOURS to do my hair. I was already tired, but for those that know me, I was dying from not being able to sit still for that long! Now it's over!!!

This was the before look!  Not really all that much is different.

Just cleaned up a bit! I really like it!!! 

Trying to stay awake now, but I am going to use nap time to my advantage!

Weekend!

What a weekend..... Full of laughs and fun, and super random adventures!! Friday I had a job interview... still waiting to hear about that. Then we all just chatted around the apartment. Saturday I finished up some homework, and then it was just too beautiful outside so we decided to go to the park!

Fun at the Park!

Then we came home and my roommate Allison heard of a free concert so we decided to go! We Shot the Moon was AMAZING!! So fun to go with the roommies!!

Then after the concert we got a sweet picture with their leading man Jonathon Jones.

Highlight of the whole concert was when his eyes locked with mine! I LOVE those moments! 

Having such a great time this semester with so much more to come! So excited to go home and see a friend that I haven't for two years and see my family!

Family Pictures

When I went home for my sister's farewell, we were forced into taking family pictures. Here's how they went:

I was in the MOST UNCOMFORTABLE POSITION EVER.... But it turned out to be a good picture!

They are SO cute! 

And of course we started the individual shots! But my brother is pretty cute so...

She is leaving TODAY!! I can't believe it!

Corinne is attractive! She just turned 12 and is now a Beehive!! Can't believe it!!

No I do not do normal... I was in a WATERFALL!!! So fun!!

Everyone should be jealous of this cute girl! She is so awesome!!!! Love her so much!!!

I feel so blessed to have parents, who after 25 years together still love each other! They are an example and yes they do have 3 grown children!

I love Tessa in this picture! She is so CUTE!!! I love all the height differences!

All the siblings together for the last time till one has a baby and one is gone for 18 months. If you are jealous of our family... You should be because we have a blast!!

Who I Am

Two days ago I was able to go to a concert at which Diamond Rio had performed. It totally took me back to my childhood and I was able to reminisce on how much I had when I was little. All my life I have had supportive parents that had dropped everything if one of us needed something. I have always relied on their testimony of the gospel and truly felt the joy that has come into my life because of the gospel. Yesterday I went to a Stake Conference where there were many speakers talking about how they needed to find out for themselves if the Church was true. I questioned if I knew for myself that it was true, but quickly I was able to see that without the hand of my Heavenly Father every day throughout my life, I would be truly lost. I have gone through many trials in my life, and that has led me to the testimony that I have of my Church. I am a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and I have truly been blessed with all of the blessings that being a member has brought into my life. I have always relied on the faith that everything would work out in the end, and so far that principle has helped me through my roughest times in life. A few months ago I was forced to make a decision between two of my biggest dreams. One being an internship in Disney World with my favorite company, or following my dream of going to BYU in Provo. I struggled with this decision for a while, but after I knew what I had to do I felt the peace that comes with knowing that I made the right decision. It was truly a difficult thing to decide for myself and I was able to rely on the knowledge of my parents to help me decide what I really needed to do. I am a new Cougar! I never thought I would be able to say those words. When I was in high school I was rejected from my dream school, but with everything in life I took it as a new challenge and worked hard in my first two years of college to obtain my dream. There has been many things that I have learned about myself being in Rexburg, that I don't think I could have ever learned anywhere else. I have grown up in more ways than even I could have imagined. Like in the song by Diamond Rio, "I believe." I truly do believe that everything in life that happens has a meaning and something that I need to take out of that experience. I am often in awe how much I change with every new trial that comes my way! I took a look in the mirror today and saw how much I have changed in the past two years. I am not the scared little girl and know I feel so very comfortable in my own skin! I am trying a new motto in my life to live everyday like it's the last one I will ever have!

Time of My Life

It has been an amazing couple weeks! I just started my last semester at BYU-Idaho before I start an even greater adventure in Provo! I can't believe how lucky I have been in my life and can't wait for my new adventure to start! There has been so many challenges that I have had to overcome to be where I am today and I can't imagine life without those challenges! This past couple weeks has been adventures after adventures.... 

This is my best friend Kortni who recently got married, and we had a most epic adventure at the Festival of Colors. 

One of the last nights of the semester with one of my roommates! She is awesome!!

She just got married, and she was one of the best roommates! 

This is my new roommie! We are starting this new adventure and can't even describe how much we have been having!

My best friend, and sister! She just found out that she's having a little baby girl! I can't wait to meet that little girl and be the best auntie in the world!! 

I have the best family in the world! Yes, be jealous of us! I can't even describe how much fun we have! 

One of my other best friends, and sister! She is leaving on her mission in 4 DAYS!!! I can't believe how lucky I am! She's going to be an amazing missionary and I can't wait to see all she does on the mission!

I'm having withdrawls from this girl! Haven't seen her in so long, and miss her so much!!! 

Can you believe this woman is going to be a mom? Well she's going to be the best mom in the world, well besides our own mother!

My mom is literally the best and has helped me accomplish so much in my life already! I can't wait to be just like her and follow suit of motherhood!

This is my dad! He is one of the best guys I know! He has also helped me get where I am today with always being there to listen and to give advice! Can you believe that in two months he is going to have three daughters over the age of 20?!?!? 

Life is meant to be enjoyed and to be lived!! I can't wait to go on and start new adventures!! With all my friends and family around me, I don't think I could have a better time!

Life is BEAUTIFUL! I intend to live it to the fullest!!! 

Peace out!
