Family Home Evening!

Every Monday night, our house gets together with a guys apartment and we play games and do random things. I used to hate Family Home Evening in Rexburg, because I just thought it was a waste or time. However, this semester I really really LOVE IT!! Our guys are kinda dorkstamps. But they are a lot of fun. We went geocaching once, and that was a lot of fun! There is a million geocaches on campus. Some of them I walk past every day.
This Monday, we split the guys and girls up, and then one person from each team was blindfolded. Then they had to make cookies. For some reason, I was volunteered for the girls. It was fine though, because my roommates are really mature and amazing and helped me do everything. Ya, try cracking an egg while blindfolded- its hard!



The boys were not as helpful, and their blindfolded person ended up dumping like 2 T of salt into the bowl, when it called for 2 t. I think the boys just didn't know the difference between a tablespoon and a teaspoon.




After we finished rolling the dough into cookies, we baked them. Then we made cards that said like, "Have A Wonderful Day!"



Then we delivered it to random houses on our street. It is nice because I live in a house, so we are surrounded by old people who are extremely kind.



So we gave them all a lot of cookies. And then we came back and ate the rest of the cookies.



It was a simply marvelous FHE. I'm bummed it has taken me 5 semesters to finally love FHE.


Peace and Blessings. Peeeaace and blessings :)

Hey guys! So I have decided to start a blog because I am way too lazy and horrible at writing everyone back through emails when they ask me what I have been up to.
So just to catch everyone up, I'll talk about me for a little bit.
I go to BYU-Idaho in Rexburg, Idaho. It is a lot of fun, and I love all the people I meet. We only have like an inch of snow on the ground right now, which is extremely nice because usually it snows from the first week on October until April. My major is Healthcare Administration, and my minor is Business Management. I really love my major, and I love the fact that since it is new to the school, my classroom size is usually a max of ten people in the higher major classes.
I live in a house this semester. And I love it. I don't really talk or hang out with my roommates, and it is the smartest thing I have done. There is absolutely no drama. At all. Our house is also always clean, and everyone gets along really well.
Right now, I am trying to keep all of my options open. This includes the Peace Corps. I have always wanted to go into the Peace Corps since we had a guest speaker in elementary school who was in the Peace Corps. I idolized him, and now I'm finally at a point in my life that I can go into the Peace Corps. So right now, all the applications are filled out, my background check should be getting to them in a couple days, and this week I had a two hour interview with my recruiter, Anne. It went extremely well. I have no idea where I will be going if I do go. One of the questions that Anne asked me was, "What do you anticipate will be your hardest challenge if you leave the country for 28 months?" Well... that was a no brainer. I'm going to miss my family sooo much. But it will be okay. Right?
My life is pretty normal right now. I hang out a lot with my friends and just do random things. I go to a lot of the performances by people at the college. I do a lot of homework. I've started reading a lot again, and I love this form of relaxation. I am super excited for Thanksgiving this year. I have never needed a break from school as much as I need it right now. I'm completely burnt out, and this break is needed.
I do not know what else to say about me. I will get better at this "blogging" stuff. But right now I am sick, and I have a major migraine. Plus its after 9 o clock, which means that I'm exhausted.

Peace and Blessings. Peeeaace and blessings :)
