Goodbye Vegas, Hello Provo!

So basically I am totally out of my element! Haha... I am 383.52 miles away from home! Yesterday was my first day of the class I am taking at Late Summer Honors. It is basically going into depth more about the disciple John and his writings. The first day was so overwhelming I had to call my mom after! I had no clue what was going on and I just wanted to go home! So sad... but any who... I said a prayer that I would be able to get through all the reading (80 pages just last night) and that I would be able to understand the class and learn and grow more from it. Today was much better. The class went good, I participated as much as I could and I followed along in the scriptures and the other books. So preparation is good! In fact it is great! But yesterday I had to purchase myself the basic BYU gear... a sweatshirt, and a football shirt... haha... the bookstore is huge! It even has its own candy store in it! But yes today class went good... the devotional this morning was particularly good. The speaker spoke about how BYU is such a unique opportunity and members elsewhere only dream of coming here. He said to take advantage of all the school has to offer... and to not fall into the same pattern and begin to take for granted the opportunity this is. So I will have to remember that and definitely take advantage of all the nifty and amazing things it has to offer. But yes... I am missing home... indeed my little brothers and my mom... and everyone from work and church and my friends... but I am so excited to be on this new path in life. I am way excited because my Mom and my Uncle Mike are coming up tonight because tomorrow I am moving into my fall housing in Wyview Park! Yay so pretty... Here's a picture! Just to show my excitement! I haven't seen them personally... this is just the picture off of the BYU website!


But yes... I am mucho excited because tonight my Mom and I are going to go eat food and then go on a Provo adventure! Shall be fun! Whoo Hoo! Talk to ya'll soon!

The Important Folks In My Life

So today... I have no clue what it was but it all hit me like a head-on collision with a semi-truck... I AM LEAVING my beloved Las Vegas... I am so stoked but at the same time there are so many people that I will miss...
-My mom... for everything she does for me all the time...
-My brothers... we have so much fun together and will dearly miss them
-The girls in my ward... they always seem to cheer me up and they are an example to me...
-My leaders... they have grown to be my friends and I enjoy the guidance they provide me with.. -Corey Paris... he is one of my best friends and a crack up to be around... from shopping together to singing along with Elton to playing tennis... he is always a joy...
-Tuesday... my twinner bff... we have so much fun together and we never have to worry about whether or not the other will like something... it is like we share a brain
-Kristen and Ashley- we have had so many fun memories and talks in the car before school and sleepovers and especially work with Kristen... it is always a blast...
-Josh and Lincoln- haha Lincoln is like the older brother I never had... lol he is always honest and keeps me on track (for the most part) and Josh... oh Josh... first of all I will miss making fun of him everyday... it always puts a smile on my face! and I will miss all of the silly things he does... like bringing in a picture of Zac Efron totally out of the blue... and him complaining all the freaking time... haha...
So yeah thats pretty much it... this was all inspired by work today and Corey leaving and me buying my ONE-WAY plane ticket... and realizing that I really do need to clean my room! haha... Work today... especially lunch was what topped it all off... I don't know what it was about it... but I just cried like a baby! haha dumb I know but its my life so don't judge lol...

Favorite Thing #3




JOHN KRASINSKI!!!! Ok, he is a man who needs no introduction... haha... but he plays Jim Halpert on The Office.. I LOVE HIM!!! All of the actors help to write their characters on the show and this guy is just my favorite... His relationship with Pam is just so cute and it makes you want one of him for yourself... And he is completely sexy.... haha... I was my wish at Girl's Camp to be on The Office and to marry him and it was hilarious what Sister Payne did to make it come true... It did haha... and I am married to him now... IF ONLY! But yep... he's one of my favorite things! That sexy beast!
