After a LONG week of finals and a full day of driving, I am so happy to be home. The time home has been so nice so far.   Sunday night we went over to the lights that were put up at the temple. It is one of my very favorite things to do at Christmas time. It was beautiful as always!  I've missed...

Getting ready for finals has been making me go crazy. But it's okay. In less than one week I'll be all done, and I'll be driving home where it is supposed to be a toasty 79 degrees. I got this.  I am still getting used to these less-than-perfect Utah temperatures.  This past weekend it got to -3 degrees.  Sometimes I look around and...

Yesterday morning I woke up, looked out the window, and everything was covered in white. It feels like I live in a giant snow globe.  It is absolutely freezing. So cold. Half the time I can't feel my hands or face.   But it is soooo beautiful and Christmasy and I kind of love it. For now.  Last night at about midnight, me, Danielle...

College is so expensive. Paying for tuition, a laptop, and food can be a lot, especially when you are right outta high school.   And on top of that, all of a sudden, you actually have to BUY textbooks. When each class requires up to four books, things can get very, very pricey. Ya, it's rough. Luckily, this year, I decided to rent...

I am so grateful that I was able to go home this past week and have such a lovely time with my family. They are my very best friends, and, quite honestly, the funnest people that I have ever known.  I just got back about an hour ago, and I am so sad that it is over. Seriously, I absolutely despise goodbyes. At...

November is such a wonderful month. I could do without the awkward, creepy mustaches that come with No Shave November which, at BYU, are getting pretty bad. But other than that, it is a beautiful time of year. The past week has felt like a giant weekend. I have gotten a minimal amount of sleep, and I am not sure how clearly I...

On Wednesday, my best friend turned the big 2-0.  He wanted me to get in a box and mail myself to NC, but that is very illegal, and I don't know what the mission rules are on that. So instead, I put together a box with peanut butter m&m's, scripture markers, spiritual thoughts, a BYU sweatshirt, and lots of other things he likes,...

After one of the longest weeks ever, me and my cute roommates decided to move our mattresses into the living room and have a big sleep over. The 5 girls I live with have become some of my best friends and I have SO much fun with them.  The night also consisted of me coloring Megans hair (she is now a brunette, and...

Dear weekend, why did you come and go so fast? It seems like every time I am glad it is Friday, BAM, it's Sunday night and I am getting ready to begin another week.  This weekend was too good not to write about, so here we go. After the longest week I have had since beginning school, I went up to SLC to...

Greetings from a comfy hotel room in downtown SLC. Right now I am at the Intercollegiate Studies Institute conference at the Grand America, and boy, is this awesome. The classiness level here is through the roof.  More to come on all of that later. I came here and found out that something got mixed up, and unlike everyone else, I don't have a...

One lovely (and freezing) Saturday morning, I got to hike up a beautiful waterfall with my friend Devon, and some other cool kids. Before we left, the boys made us a pancake breakfast and it was super yummy. Saturday night consisted of going to a little bit of Stake Conference, then meeting up with my friend Spencer and going to the basketball game...
