snowy times

sometimes i live in rexburg.

and it snows a lot.

most of the time this means taking ten extra minutes walking to class to avoid falling on your face, cars too cold to start and the bottom of your jeans wet up to your knees. but, sometimes it means grand adventures :)

my very lovely roommate lexie wrote about the snow adventure we had last week on her blog.

you should read about it. she writes it way better than i could! it was the best. ever.

love it.

i colored this

Back to school, back to school, to prove to Dad that I'm not a fool. I got my lunch packed up, my boots tied tight, I hope I don't get in a fight.

ah, back in Rexburg.
it is good to be back...but being home was the Bomb.com

seriously.

i love my family
with such a big change in my life coming very soon, i was so ready to be with them
and those little boys make me happy


plus, i got to spend time with some of my favorite boys, friends and casey-rachel time of course.
i didn't even do any homework :)
it was the best.

totally worth the 20 hours i drove for it to happen.

but, now i have three more weeks of busy school and i have to get straight a's. i must.
so, here i go...off to conquer my finals :)


p.s. Murphy died during the break. i guess he didn't have a very good Thanksgiving. poor little guy. he was a good fish.

It is awesome.

the brothers

just a little shout out to my FHE brothers...

they are great.

definitely some of the best i've ever had.

they've always been so supportive of my mission decision

a couple of them came over the other night to give me this gift

it was so nice! i loved it.

i love them!

don't they look charming? :)

Called to Serve

In Malaga, Spain of course!

I am so happy to finally have my call...it was a long wait.

But now I have a whole lot of preparing to do! :)

Spain is the best. (I already know it)

I report March 16, 2011 to the Provo Missionary Training Center for a couple weeks then I'll go to the MTC in Madrid, Spain.

Doesn't that sound lovely?

I can't wait.

Basically every picture looks amazing, like this one.

Notice that Malaga is in southern Espana. Right by the Mediterranean Sea. How nice. :)

my life be like

how does a little update sound?
i thought so too.
here are some things that are happening in my life...now

relief society secretary - this is my calling. do i do anything? not really. but i love it :) plus the president is my super cool roommate. we keep it real.

lead sports photographer - i guess they thought i knew what i was doing or something...whateves. however, the responsibility actually means that i take less photos. weird. but that's ok cause my color photography class makes up for it :)

i lost and found my keys...again

lots of projects - my major is rather test free...but boy do i do a lot of projects! it's made my life crazy. but...i really really love it. i'd take a mixed media project over a test any day :)

pregos - BOTH of my sisters are pregnant! :) i'm so insanely happy and excited for them!! it is such a blessing. i will be gone when they have the babies...but i will just give them extra loving once i get home!

21 - when did that happen? oh yeah, a month ago. good thing i act the same as i did when i was eighteen. it's all the same. but the best part is that my new baby nephew Parker was born on my birthday! we are twins :)

waiting - this is my life. just waiting for my mission call. it has been a pretty good test of my patience...but i'm ok with that. it's just making me really excited. where will i go? who knows!

one in 8 million

so last year The New York Times did a series called

"One in 8 Million"

you should check it out here.

they profiled random people in new york city and told their story.

it is amazing and so inspiring.

it makes me want to be a better photographer.

this series is photojournalism at its finest and i LOVE it!

there is one in particular that i love :)

it is about a mormon sister missionary.

listen and watch her story here.

chipmunk face
