Catch Up part two.....

 

Lorraine's friend Hyrum (my future husband) came to visit from Modesto and we celebrated his Birthday!

Happy Birthday Hyrum!!!!!

Tried Sushi for the first time EVER on a date.

Homemade Sushi...

Tried it but it I am certainly glad that I am American and love hamburgers.

 

My date for the night, Tyson. He is from Rexburg. We had lots of fun together.

Pondskimming! Brett, Steven, Daniella, and Daniella's special friend Jacob all decided to do pondskimming which is when you ride a snowboard, ski's or a sled down a hill and try to skim the entire length of a homemade pond to the finish line. There were lots of great falls and biffs. 

Steven and Brett as Mario and Luigi. 

 

All Bundled up to watch the crazy people fall on their faces. 

 

Steven and Brett all wet and cold after their turns at pond skimming glory! Steven was awarded with the 2nd best fall.

Jacob and Daniella starving after their pondskimming experience. Steven is in the background nursing a goose egg. 

 

Poor Steven. All injured. Lorraine nursed him back to health though.

DANCE PARTY! Our roommate Alyssa and her friends hosted a "Fine Wine and Cheese Party" basically a mocktail party. It was a blast. We loved dressing up and going dancing.

Daniella all glammed up.

Steven and Brett, our FHE brothers came too and also Daniella's special friend Jacob.

We went and played games with the boys in Apartment 8 later than night. It was a party night that started with pondskimming, dancing, and games! Living it up here at college!

Catch up time.

So today I am blogging as per request of my amazing mommy. January and February have been full of so many memories, and trials but I am grateful for every single thing that has happened. God has blessed my life.
So I arrived in Rexburg, Idaho on January 1st, 2010. Beginning of a new school year as well as a new year.
Lorraine, and her brother Cameron stayed at Aunt Barbara's house with me on the first night in Idaho and then the next morning we went straight to Rexburg.

We moved in on Saturday and then CT, Daniella, and Heather all arrived on Saturday afternoon. All reunited!

This is Pines Apartment 17, CT, Me, Heather, Daniella, Alyssa, and Lorraine.

One good looking apartment. 

Well the first Monday back in Rexburg, Heather and I had our first day of work again in Vending.

 

Our excitment is contagious we know. Nothing better than waking up at 5am. 

I spend most of my time in the library at this point. I am taking 14 credits and my classes are whipping me into shape to become an academic scholar. At this point I am an English Education major with a minor in American Government even though I greatly desire to be a psychology minor. I am on campus pretty much from 6am to 6pm or 7pm at night, sometimes later depending on the homework load which is usually heavier than I like. 

We all have been loving being back in Rexburg. Lots of fun activities, playing games and ward activities, and dates. Nothing better. Here are some pics from the semester. They explain the happenings a lot better than I ever could. 

Ward Sledding activity, and dinner which include delicious steak and potatoes!

 

Had a Picnic provided by Hyrum, while watching Grease!

 

Heather....lol

 

Styling sunglasses!

Had a Valentines day Surprise!

 

 A fruit bouquet and also....my front door was heart attacked but I can't upload the picture.

Visited Hawaii for FHE compliments of our FHE Dad, Brett, who served his mission there.
