A week of awefulness :)

So I am sitting here on my computer, waiting for The Office to upload so I can watch it, and so I thought I would update my blog! Hooray for you!

As a side note: I have been watching so much office lately that I keep saying, "Question" when I have a question...anyone who watches it, gets that. Hahaha. Dwight, what a goofball.

Anyways, this week was amaza-za-za-za-za-zing!!(That was for you Kisha and Ivy)

It all started not too long ago, in the far, far, far away land of Provo...

On the morn of Tuesday, we had a great leader come to our small kingdom of Brigham Young University, and he spoke to us common folk. President Gordon B. Hinckley(for those of you who aren't familiar with the Mormon church, that is our current Prophet) he came to our usual Tuesday morning devotional and it was splendid. You make think I am exaggerating, but it was phenomenal. The entire Marriott Center was packed, with students, faculty, and a few city folk (which angers me to no extent because this was special for STUDENTS not random Utards who took up space so people who it was meant for were not able to attend. lame)

Anyhow, it was so amazing because there was a huge roar throughout the huge facility from everyone just talking and visiting. But the second one person stood up to signify that President Hinckley was entering, the crowd was instantly silent. I mean, you could hear a pin drop, and it happened within a matter of seconds, and everyone stood up out of respect and love and it was just so great. The spirit was strong and I knew that this was a Prophet of God.

So he spoke to us about the 13Th article of faith and it was wonderful. I took notes and even did some voice recording on my phone but I couldn't get it all. Hopefully it will come out in print sometime and I can share it with anyone who would be interested. I love that man. He is so wonderful. ( SO as I was searching for the picture of the Prophet, I just learned there is a C in his last name....WEIRD! I never knew that...hahahah I am an idiot).

Continuing on, Tuesday evening they had the annual hike and light the Y. I had already hiked the Y in a previous weekend (you should know this seeing as you read my blog haha) and so I wasn't really up to it again, but I did however get a picture of what it looks like lit up. It remained lit all week, in celebration of HOMECOMING WEEK!! (I can't believe I hadn't mentioned that yet...oh well now you know) I am going to miss looking up and night as seeing that. It was pretty cool.

Wednesday, I went to school again, like normal, and I got a few errands taken care of, including getting a free "fully invested" shirt that EVERYONE and their brother has this year, but it was free and I wanted a BYU shirt for the games. So I got one, and for free! Hooray!! Ok I am going into way too much detail sorry.

Wednesday afternoon, OH MAN! HA HA! I went to True Blue Football. This is a test of your loyalty to BYU and to show how big of a blue fan you are! What it was was tag football, in a big field of blue foam. It was a really foamy frothy substance and it was dyed blue. They had a hill where they pumped it down to make a slide, and then they just pumped huge huge areas full of it to form the football fields. It was SOO fun. I had work right afterwards, so I was careful not to get my face, but I did get the rest of my body. I wish I would have been able to get pictures of me completely covered. But seeing as I was the camera man, once I got real gunky I had to put my camera away. All you see is me just starting out. But I wound up very similar to how my friend Ammon looks in these pictures, minus the face. This stuff was so fun!! But, it stained haha. I was blue for a long while, and still am in places, and it's Sunday. Haha. I got the funniest looks all week. Poor Ammon, even his face is still stained. Now that's True Blue loyalty.

Thursday, I attended the "Spectacular," which was a performance put on in the Marriott Center. He drove down and we went with Karli and it was soooooo good! It had performances by the BYU Ballroom Dancers, another dance team, the Young Ambassadors, and the Mormon Tabernacle Choir. It was phenomenal. I loved it and I am so happy I got to go. As I was sitting there I was thinking, "This is so awesome, I love BYU. I love that I go here, and I love that I get all these amazing opportunities as a student." I know that sounds cheesy but I am serious. As much as I miss home, and as much as I wouldn't like Utah if I just lived here, but because I am going to BYU, I love it. I Love it.

Friday, here comes more fun!! After work, I went to my advisor to talk about my plans for future semesters and to sort out what I need to take for my major. And it was nothing but good news the whole time. I found out a few classes for my upper level, major courses were covered by some classes I thought I took for nothing at Golden West, plus, right then and there, he saw that I had taken some English courses and asked another guy and they both said I should get credit for that too. And so right there, he put a code in and it now says I have taken care of another class I need for my major. According to the list, after this semester I will need about 40 more units, and according to the list, I have about 39 more to go, plus religion courses which comes out to about 43 units left, anndddd according to my calculations, if I have 3 more semesters left at BYU, and if I took a full load of 15 units per semester, which I planned on anyways, that would be 45 units, and I technically don't need 45 just 43. SO that gives me two units to breathe! So I am right on track to graduate by April of 2009!! This was exciting news! I was worried I would have to take a summer course or something but it looks like I don't! Woo!!

Ok, so Friday night, Homecoming dance!!

The dance we chose to go to (there were 3 choices for Friday and 3 choices for Saturday) was a forties theme! For anyone who knows me, I LOVE LOVE LOVE the forties, and Big Band music and swing dancing and the styles and the everything! So of course I chose that theme.

So we got all dressed up and went and it was SO fun!!! I loved it and he loved it and we danced sOOOO much and the music was great, and not to brag or anything, but I am pretty sure I had the best ensemble! I love it so much I am going to use it for Halloween! Hahah.

So the dance was great!

Saturday morning we woke up early and went to the pancake breakfast. They had a few different locations where they were holding it, but we went to one right around the corner from my house. I love how we can walk almost everywhere here! Hahaha. So that was yummy!

Then we watched the parade from the same corner and that was fun too! I love school spirit! One of my favorite things, as Julie Andrews would call it.

After the parade, we had lunch and killed some time before going to the Football game!!!!

THIS was awesome!!!

Almost every single person, all 64,ooo or so of them, were wearing blue and white and it was nuts!! We have good seats, only because I believe there is no such thing as bad seats in that stadium. But it was SOOO fun and we won!!! See everyone doing the wave in the picture to the left? I loved singing the Alma mater song every time we scored, which was often, and I loved saying with the crowd as the announcer says, "looks like it's another.." and the crowd yells "FIRST DOWN!" I love it!!!! Then whenever we did something like take the ball from the other team or something, the band would play the star wars Darth Vader song, I think that's it, and everyone would swing their arms like they were marching. That was good fun as well!!

THEN THE RAIN CAME!!

Oh man it rained so much and it was windy, and it was cold. But we stuck it out. Look at everyone putting on their ponchos in the pictures above, to the left. It was almost instant that everyone put them on. Haha. We didn't have one so we were soaked, SOAKED when we got home. But we had soup and watched a movie (Red Eye...SCARY but good! I loved it!)

So that was my fun fun week. Then Sunday we went to church and of course that was great too. I love it. I am happy. I am trying my best and even though I miss home and wouldn't mind coming home to visit, I know this is where I am supposed to be. I am learning so much and growing so much, hopefully. I am continuing to better myself and hopefully I will go nowhere but up from here.

I love you all, Thanks for being there for me and for reading this! WOOOOO!

The end....

until next time...

Ooh La La!!

My salon was voted the #1 salon in orange county!!! Do you know how many salons there are in Orange County??? A lot! And I am so excited that they finally recognized how fabulous we are!!

Well, I didn't really do anything to earn that title, but I am so proud of Nella and all the hard work she had put into that salon and all she does for everyone. And I am proud of all the Super Stylists, Magnificent Manicurists, and Excellent Estheticians! Ooh La La!!

Oh and before I forget...

This coming week is Homecoming week and it is going to be Ama-za-za-za-za-zing!!!
Stay tuned for more updates and fabulous fun!!

It's 7:53 PM

Well I made it through another week of school. YOWSERS!

I went to a study group today and it was actually really good. I am so glad I went. I need all the help I can get for that class. It is History of Psychology. It goes back all the way to Socrates and Plato and Aristotle. It's interesting, sometimes. Today we were going to havea quiz, and as the sub teacher went to hand them out, we all realized it was the wrong one, and so we didn't have to take it! Ah! Yes! That was lucky! But anyways, so the study group was good, and I am glad I went because it made me feel good. It made me feel like I am trying, which I am.

I have made some recent goals, and I am excited about them. One of them is to be less selfish. As my first act of kindness, I said yes to a girl from work who asked me to take over her shift on fridays, which is directly after mine. So will just be staying longer. Which is actually good for me too, but it's a long long shift of nothiningness. I know I should have taken it for the extra money, but the real reason I said yes was because she needed me to and I needed to do something nice for someone. She was grateful, which made me feel good. I am not saying this to pat myself on the back for doing something I should do anyway, but I am saying it because I am showing the action I am taking to correct a problem and those of you who have noticed this problem in me, I want to assure you I am fixing it. Thank you to those who have been so kind to me when I didn't even deserve it. For you I am trying to change.

I am so blessed.

So anyways, Karli is coming over tonight and we are hanging out tomorrow night too. I am excited. I love school because it makes you really appreciate the weekends and I love weekends!!

So what are your plans for the weekend? That's the question of the blog. You can answer it at Heather.lds@gmail.com
LOVE!

No Title Good Enough

The weekend is already over! AHh!!!

Here I am sitting here on Sunday, and I still cannot believe I have school tomorrow. I have been having so much fun this summer, and even since I have gotten here, that I keep forgetting vacation is over! AHh!! Oh well, back to work. Everybody's gotta grow up sometime. I am lucky I got away with it for this long.


This weekend was very fun. I decided to do as much homework as I could on Thursday and enjoy the weekend, and not stress out, and finish it on Monday. Stress if for the weekdays.


Friday night I went to my friends house for a little party and it was So fun!






She lives in the basement of her mom's house, and the walls were bare, so she put craft paint out and let us have at it! We painted all sorts of random things. It was SO fun!!

Then Saturday, Karli and I got up early to hike the Y. "Hiking the Y", for those of you who might be unfamiliar with the phrase, is a tradition for BYU students. I'm sure you are all familiar with the letters on the mountains that schools will put up. Well the Y for Young in Brigham Young University is just to the east of campus and everyone who attends BYU hikes to the Y. You aren't a real cougar until you do :) I know....how cliche....




So we hiked up there and it was really fun. Pretty steep actually but we had fun. Plus the Y is huge! Then we went swimming at Karli's apt. with her roommates. we read gossip magazines while laying out by the pool and then watched a marathon of America's Next Top Model. Then we went back to my living quarters(still not quite my home...) and watched a movie with Rachel. It was fun, even though I fell asleep, like always.

Today was church and it was really nice. In relief society, we had the elder's quorum president speak to us about being daughter's of God and it was amazing. This girl sang Walk Tall and even though she wasn't my favorite singer, the words and music were beautiful. I loved it and I loved looking around the room and seeing a bunch of women all my age, feeling the same thing I feel. It's amazing to think that every single girl can be understood and loved by at least one man, Heavenly Father. I love that if no one else, I can ALWAYS rely on Him to be there for me and comfort me.
I have new friends around here, and I have fun, plus I am busy with school, but it really stinks to not have my best friend or all my friends from the salon or my family around. I was really mad when I was told, "you'll make new friends." I didn't want new friends, I liked my old friends and there was no need to replace them. I have noticed now that you can never have too many friends. Although I haven't replaced anybody, I have added on and I am glad I let myself open up. I think this is going to be so good for me. Already I have become so much more confident.

Annnnnyways, I am sorry for blabbing so much. I really intended on this being a short blog, but I figure people are interested in what I'm thinking, or they wouldn't be interested in reading this. At least, that is why I read these types of things. So I started going with what I was feeling, and I am glad,even if you aren't. I love you, yes you! Thank you for being my friend and loving me (I know that's very presumptuous of me to say but admit it, you know you do)

Have a Marvelous Monday tomorrow, and keep in touch!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wow!

Ahh, sweet California breeze, how I do miss thee.

I thought I would just take time to help everyone appreciate California's perfection.

Not only is it so diverse, with it's many different climates and gorgeous landscapes, it is, as Fountain Valley has coined, "A Nice Place to Live."

Who can argue that it isn't? With it's vast, majestic ocean, to the immense mountain ranges, to it's sultry deserts, to it's plush green valleys. California is, by far, the most amazing place in the country.

Having been so blessed as to live so close to the beach, I have never once taken this for granted, and neither should you. Where else can you go to the beach all year round, never have to wear more than a light sweatshirt, and where flip flops are a way of life? Don't ever take it for granted. Someday you might find yourself waking up in a freezing cold tundra or a inescapable sauna (utah.......) and think, "Man, I should have enjoyed California while I had the chance."

My favorite past time has been going to the beach. I loved just watching the waves crash, the feeling of the sand between your toes, basking in the warm sunshine. These are the things I miss, as well as being able to ride my bike along the shore, being with 10 minutes of every major Friday night activity. But the thing I miss the most? Driving down PCH. Those memories will forever be with me and I don't think I can ever let go. So, thank you for making that so special for me, and helping me to associate nothing but happiness with our beautiful coast...I love OC...

I'm a cougar!!

WHY hello there my faithful fans!

I just had my first two classes and they were great so far. Not bad, and I don't know why I was freaking my self out so bad. Most likely they will be a little more challenging than community college, but not too hard that I can't handle them. I am just so out of the routine of schoolwork because it seems as if it's been forever since I have been in a full load semester. My last semester of school was sort of a goof off semester, so I have to get back into the swing of things. But it should be easier because everyone here is serious about studying, unlike at OCC...no offense David....

So here's a map of my campus. As you can see, it is very very big. I have 5 classes, in 4 different buildings, shown in pink. The green building is the Wilkinson Student Center. It's where the CougarEat, Byu Bookstore, bowling alley, Ballrooms, everything you need to know about campus and your records and all that stuff. It's huge. You can click the picture and see it bigger. It's pretty exciting, I know. I live 5 blocks south of campus, and it's uphill to school from my house. I ride my bike every time I need to go, and so far it hasn't been bad at all. I love my bike so...

I am taking Statistics, which I already took a class on that, but I guess this course is emphasized on Psychology Statistics, which I need for my major. I also had History of Psychology today, which seems like the teacher will be ok, the subject not so much. We'll see. Tonight I have my English class, the one I'm least excited about. I have never been that great at writing, so we'll see on that one as well.

So like I have mentioned before I have been having a blast and making new friends. I love how everywhere you go, people just introduce themselves because they are new too. I was eating lunch at a table in the Wilk( thats code for the Wilkinson Student Center, also known as big green building on Heather's map) and two girls at the same time, who didn't know each other either, sat down and and we all chatted for the first time. And in math, we got a chance to exchange numbers with people to form study groups, and we met friends that way. And of course I have my new buddy Karli, who I think I mentioned meeting at New Student Orientation. She and I have hung out a lot, and last night I met her roommates. BAM! More friends! Ha ha. But they are game players too, and she's got lots of movies, and they have A/C in their apartment, and Karli has a car and she always insists on picking me up. I joke with her about how I picked a good friend(because of all the benefits she can offer. haha.) But of course I am just kidding. She's so fun and that's why I am her friend.

I don't know how much I mentioned about my new job, but I guess tomorrow I start officially. I was trained a little bit last Friday, and I feel no where near ready. But we'll see how I do. Ha Ha.

Aside from all this fun stuff I have been up to and the people I have met, I still miss home terribly. I miss all my friends, you know who you are. I miss my family.I just want you to all know I pray for you every night, and I get a little lonely, so feel free to email me back if you can or want to. I love you all.

Have a Terrific Tuesday!

First of MANY Fun Adventures

DISCLAIMER: This post is rather lengthy and you should make sure you have time before you start reading it. I apologize for any inconvenience, and appreciate any comments you may have. Thank you and have a lovely day.

Well I didn't want to say EVERYTHING all in one post yesterday so I broke it up into two posts.

This is the post where I update you on what has happened since I actually got here at BYU.

I got here Saturday, a week ago from yesterday, and I unpacked and I got everything in its place. Sunday, my roommate and I went to church but we weren't sure which ward was the one we needed to go to. So we kind of picked one, and once there, we realized we were not correct. So we enjoyed that ward but knew it was temporary. We figured out our correct ward and plan on going today(sunday again).

Monday I went to school to use the computer lab because my computer wasn't here yet, and while I was taking care of some things, my friend Ammon logged on and we started chatting and found out he was coming to campus too. So we met up and did all of our errands together which made it really fun. It was nice to have a familiar face in an unfamiliar place. So I payed for my tuition online, we got our books, our ID's, checked out some different spots on campus, and had lunch in the super cool CougarEat. Seriously this place is so cool! It's just like it's own city. The book store is three stories, and is basically like a regular store, only the textbooks are on the top floor. But they have all regular stuff too. And the CougarEat is like a food court in a mall, and everything is just so cool! It's just like it's own little community. So after that was all done, we went our seperate ways, and....I can't remember what I did that night. Monday.....Oh I think Garrett and I hung out. Yes I believe that was the day. Because he got here that day. Oh and Monday morning, before anything, I had a job interview. I got the job and I will be working at the Library of Law, in the Law School on campus. pretty exciting stuff. I am officially a librarian...no jokes please.

Tuesday I......man it's tough to remember. This week seems like it's been so long! I can't believe it's only been 7 days. Grr....

Ok Tuesday I got up early again and went grocery shopping! My first time officially! I went to Wal-mart because out here they are all super centers, and so I got all my groceries for under $100. I came home to put them away, and I was just so disgusted by the fridge and how the other girl who lived here already(not my roommate but the other room who has her own room and I haven't met her yet). So I rolled up my sleeves and got down and dirty. It was SO gross but I got it nice and pretty and now I actually feel comfortable eating from it. Ha ha. But one drawer is broken, and so I decided, I took the time to clean this, I get the drawer that isn't broken! So I moved the other girls stuff into the broken one and now I get the clean non broken drawer. I know that sounds mean, but you would do the same thing. Especially if you saw the fridge. Anyways, so I cleaned a while longer, just one thing after another

we went to the Copper mines(kennecot...hahaha),

Wednesday, I met up with my cousins, one of which was going to the MTC (Missionary Training Center) and so we went to breakfast . It was so cool to see all the different missionaries just getting there, starting out, all in the same boat. It's so weird to remember the missionaries have lives back home and are real people. So that was a sad goodbye for his family. That night I went to the computer lab on campus for about two hours. Long...almost as long as this dang post. I promise they wont't all be this long. I'm just trying to catch everyone up because they always want to know, and this way they can.

Thursday was the first day of New Student Orientation. I checked in, and we had this meeting with every single new student in the basketball building, like where the huge basketball games are held. We had convocation, which I'm not sure what that word means, but it was basically just a big meeting. We had a speaker, and then a movie about the history of BYU.

After that, we went to smaller meetings, and my group which was transfer students, not freshman like everyone else, we had special meetings meant for us. Then we had lunch and I met my new friend Karli(woot woot) and we hit it off right away. We hung out the rest of the day and kind of split off fro mthe group because it wasn't as structured and we didn't have to go to everything.

Friday, I got up early and planned on going to NSO(new student orientation) but my new boss called me and said, come to my office right now, I'm taking you to get your new SS card. I was like. uhhhh..... But I went and got it and then met up for the transfer student meetings, and then lunch and then I went back and trained for work(yes already. I wasn't prepared for that and was rather nervous). But that went well and I have a friend who works there(she got me the job, Traci) and it wasn't too bad. A lot of little things I need to remember, but nothing major. It looks like it will be an ok job. But it has NOTHING on Ooh La La...

Friday night they had a Transfer Student Dinner and social. and I met up with Karli too and it was pretty fun. Good food. After that, we went to get Frozen Yogurt, and DAVID! Guess what the place was called.... "Fro Yo" HAHAH!!!! It was so funny too because I was like, let's go get Fro yo, and karli was like, oh I know where a place is, kind of like Golden Spoon(she's from california too) and we went and that's what it was called. HA ha! anyways, so then we went to the Friday Night Extravaganza! It was all the new students, about 5000, all in the field playing get to know you games. But they were MASSIVE groups of people and it was SO fun! very mormony. haha. I loved it.

Then I went with Karli to the Saturday Night Finale. It was the last activity of NSO. They had dancing, ping-pong, DDR, this blow up bounce house but you joust, volley ball and the dating game. THEN at 10, this show started that they have around here, it's called "Comedy Sportz" and it's just like Whose Line is it Anyways. it was HILARIOUS!! Oh my gosh! I haven't laughed that hard in a long time. It was SO funny!!!!!!!! So I plan on going to the actually place where they have that regularly.

Anyways, So that was my week. Now I am all ready for church

So I promise from now on, I will have briefer updates, and try to do it more often. Also, I plan on having more pictures so that makes it funner. The pictures in this post have nothing to do with this week, but I wanted to make it a little less boring...

I'm sorry.

Well I'd love to hear from everyone, so email me if you like.

Heather.lds@gmail.com

Love you all!

Welcome

HELLO EVERYONE!!!

Well first I'd like to start out by saying how much I miss everyone back home SO much!!! I'm so excited to make a blog so that all my friends and family can keep up on what's going on in my life.

Ok well let's start from the very beginning, a very good place to start....haha.

I took some last pictures of the salon, and looking at them makes me so sad. I am mad though because I didn't get any with people in them, which is why I am relying on you who took pictures, to get me copies some how!

I CAN'T BELIEVE I took these pictures a week ago from yesterday! It feels like it's been FOREVER!!

I miss the view!!!

Anyways, So my last day of work, I'll have you know, was one of the hardest goodbyes. It was the weirdest feeling to think, I won't be back tomorrow. I won't see these people everyday. I won't have these people to make fun of me...oh wait, this could be a good thing....

NO I'm kidding. But seriously, it was so hard because everyone at work has been such a huge part of my life these past two years, that I knew it was going to be hard to not have that there anymore. But I honestly believe that we will all stay in touch and even though I won't see them every day anymore, we will still remain friends for the remainder of my life, which hopefully is long....

After I made my way through the salon saying my goodbyes to each person, crying my eyes out and wishing I could stay even just one more day, I had to force myself to leave and as I did, I felt like I was seriously losing a piece of me. I know people say that in movies and in books and in all seriousness, I always think it's kind of cheesy, but honestly, I really do think a piece of me was taken by each person at Ooh La La Salon and I will never get it back. I will never work with a better group of people, and I will never fully enjoy my job as much as I did there. I know people say I will, but I don't believe them. I don't.

The people at Ooh La La Salon were so much more than co-workers. They were my family. I love each and everyone of them and I cannot even begin to explain how each and everyone of them has been there for me, both physically, mentally, and emotionally. They have done so much for me. From helping me with towels or coffee, to answering the phone for me, to listening when I needed to talk, to making me laugh or feel good about myself, to being the most giving group of individuals I have ever met in my life. To all of you who contributed to the money I was given, thank you so much. You will never, ever understand how much I appreciate that and how much it helped me. I will for sure be sending a thank you card ASAP. It's just been crazy around here and I need to go buy stamps. But seriously, thank you so so so much. Also, Thank you to those of you who gave me indivudual gifts, they mean so much to me and I will cherish them always. I love you all!

After I left, I went to my best friend David's house, and I cried a little more about leaving the salon. To get my mind off of the immense sadness, we watched a little TV. Then I had to go home and finish packing up my room. I went to my empty house, where no one was home, and I cried some more. This was my home, where I have spent so much time being happy, and I kept thinking, WHY AM I LEAVING!??? I finished all my packing

and starting putting it in my car.

I seriously didn't think it was all going to fit. I had a bit of a fit over it. haha. But I was home alone so no one saw. But somehow I got it all in, don't ask how.

Then I called David and he came and picked me up for the last time. We hung out the rest of the day and it was by far the hardest goodbye I think I have ever had to say in my life. I know David and I will stay friends, but it will never be the same. I took this goodbye pretty hard. At least I knew I can continue to visit everyone else I miss. But this is a whole nother story in itself and I'm betting I'll wind up writing more about it later. But anyways, I'm trying to hurry and give you a quick outline of what has happened and it's taking forever, sorry.

OK.

SO I left early Saturday morning, August 18th, 2007. I drove and drove and drove. My car worked fine, I wasn't too bored, and I never got sleepy or annoyed. BUT! This is all I saw the whole time...

It was just so hot and I had to use frozen water bottles to keep me cool. But I was so surprised my car gave me no problems, except for the fact that sometimes I had to drive in the slow lane, where trucks were passing me by. Ha ha. But it was only on big hills.

Anyways, well I made it to Zion National Park, and met up with my family. It was so beautiful there, and I had fun. We hiked the narrows and it was so cool! My dad took pictures, hopefully I can get some copies because I'd love for you guys to see them. For now, this is just what the canyon looked like. Gorgeous!

After we left Zion, we went to Cedar City, left my car there, went to my great grandma's funeral, and then to Bryce Canyon. We had a lot of fun there too. Again, my dad took pictures and I will share if I get them. Throughout the week, we hiked, went horse-back riding, and spent time just enjoying the beautiful scenery. Then we drove me to Provo, and I moved all my things in. It was so so hot in my room, and my whole family(7 people) were in the small, strange place and I had my first anxiety attack of the day. But I calmed down and I got settled in and I'm enjoying it. Here is a little sneak peak at what it looks like!

Here's my room in the picture on the left. My bed, and I get half the desk. (My computer is in the family room).

In the picture on the right, you see my dresser, and then on the left of the hamper, that is my wooden closet thing. My roommate let me have a lot more room because she doesn't have much clothes. She's a senior, and she is better at choosing what to bring and what not. Anyways, this is the kitchen, and the outside of the house.

That is my roommates car in the driveway. See how we are twins? We both have an old car. Ha ha. Anyways, last pictures....

The family room and my roommate Rachel, and then the Y up on the mountain. That picture was taken from my front lawn.

Well I miss you all and another update of what has happened since I have actually gotten here! LOVE YOU ALL!!
