Missing Someone

Just a disclaimer before reading the rest I love all my siblings equally. They all mean the world to me and I love being with all of them!!

But....

There is one that I am really missing right now. My oldest. She is living her new adventure in idaho. I am so proud of the courage that she has shown and the love and support she has given her family. She is doing great and living life and getting use to the changes of not being in California any more but let me just say I miss her. I don't want her to come back cause that would be wrong of me but I do miss her. I love her dearly and soon enough we will be a little closer together when I go back to school but I just have to say that it is still a little wierd that I can't go over to here house before work and she will fix me lunch. But I love our random phone calls and we will probably get into picture messaging more so i can see her boys. I love her!

So this blog is a shout out to her that I love her and miss her but so proud of her and I look up to her for all the courage that she has shown and want to thank her for all the support that she has always given me!




Ps Andi we have alot of pictures together! We look the best in this one

I wish I had pictures!

So this is a shout out to my wonderful sisters that threw me a wedding shower! I took lots of pictures so I could post them for every one to see how amazing it was but sadly I took them on my mom camera and don't have that with me up at school. This BBQ shower was amazing and the found was great and the weather was perfect even if i did get a sun burn on my arms! But thank you sisters for coming together and working so hard to make me feel special cause you truly did! Thank you so much and I love you so much and thank you for every one that came!

Just a little update

So I thought it could be fun to give every one a little back round on Jake and I. Me and Jake became friends in April. He came home from school and started to attend the singles ward. We became friends in the beginning and then started to hang out a lot more and then started to hang out one on one around august. Summer was coming to a close and Jake would be heading back to school soon and I did not want to be a what if person so I told him I liked him more then a friend. He said that he liked me to but he did not want to do long distance he said we could date when I am up to BYU I in the winter. I was sadly heart broken but it was fine he said he promised that we would remain friends. So I started to go to school and he went back to Idaho. Come to find out he did not realize how much he liked me until he left. So we continued to talk. I had planned a trip to conference so he promised he would come down to see me in October in Provo. He did and when he came down he took me to his missionary reunion and asked me to FINALLY be his girl friend. That weekend went by two fast and thats when we started our long distance relationship. I returned to Idaho in november to check out the campus with my parents but in reality to see Jake and have him meet my parents. That weekend was amazing and got my really excitied to start attending BYUI. So then time went out he came home for thanksgiving and christmas and then we went to BYU I together. This experiences has been amazing and has taught me alot like I didn't think I could miss my family this much and also the library is your best friend and will help you get good grades. So time went on and I was missing my family so my dad had boughten me a ticket home to see my nephew Lucas get baptized. So I was really hoping that Jake would ask me to marry him by then cause we had be talking about it alot. So the day before I leave he picks me up to go to the library and he tells me he is in a bad mood. The reason being is that he had ordered me a ring and he was going to be the best boy friends ever cause i would have it before i left but they had ordered the wrong ring. My heart sank but I put on a happy face and said it was fine. The next day he asked me if i wanted to go to dinner with him sense i would be gone the whole weekend so we got all dressed up and went to olive garden which it was nice then we drove home. We went to his apartment and I had to many soda's so i went to use the bathroom ( Don't worry the bathroom is down stairs the rooms are up stairs so I wasn't breaking BYUI rules ) I come out to find him holding a beautiful thing of gerber daisy. I asked him is this for not being able to get the ring he looked at me and said that he had that to. He put the flowers down and got done on one knee and asked me to marry him! So....
I AM GETTING MARRIED !!!!!!
on July 30 and I am so excited.

Here is the ring I know its the same picture that most of you have seen but I like it :)

4. Dessert in the microwave
5. Dimples
6. Children Laughter
7. Trips Home
8. Holding Hands
9. Sunday Dinner
10. Getting My Hair Done

If you need something to do.

Up at school I am taking a children lit class which is basically me reading a billion children books. Our "text book" for this class is called "The Read Aloud Handbook" by Jim Trelease. This book is all about the importance of reading out loud to children and about what books can do for children growing up. I have enjoyed this so much that I thought I would share it will you. So if you ever wonder if you should read to your children or is it really worth it... it is!! I would urge all to read this book its very inspiring and will make you want to read to your kids every night starting from day one.

Well now that it is week four

I feel like I should blog again. The sad thing is I don't have any thing to blog about. School is crazy and my new best friend is the library. Who knew I could learn to be quiet for long period of time. It's weird I know. Let me tell you it pays off. I just took my first test as a college student in the testing center and I walked away thinking that I did pretty well. So I guess all those hours studying really do pay off. Watch, I get my test back and I did horrible. Just cross your fingers for me. Other then studying I haven't done all that much. I have found my favorite burger joint ever! One pro to rexburg is this burger joint called Sammys. It is truly the best burger I have ever had. Well maybe I was a little hungry when I eat it but still it was super good. They have really good milk shakes too. I treated myself to one of them yesterday! Thats right it was 20 degrees outside and I was eating a milk shake. Well thats my life burgers and studying. What is happening to me in this place! Well I will try to be better with the pictures but who wants pictures of snow cause its every where. I do have one picture. We were lucky enough to enjoy a three day weekend thank you Dr. Martin Luther King. Jake and I went down to Logan, Utah to visit him family down there. It was a really fun trip and we are hoping to go again. But here is a picture of us bowling for his cousins birthday

Week One

So I did it!I survived a week of school. It was not a full week only Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. Classes went well. I have to say it was a little different then crc. First off at crc we never started class with a prayer but it was really cool to have that happen on the first day at BYU I and it happens in every class. Lucky for me I haven't fallen on the ice yet (cross your fingers). Other then class its been really fun I have meet a lot of new people in my classes and my room mates are awesome. I am the the wise one, not really just the oldest one so that is not saying much. The most tragic thing ever is that I haven't taken any picture yet except for my bedroom so I could blog about it. Sad I know, so hopefully next blog has really cute pictures of me in the snow or something cool like that.


So below is my desk, pictures on my wall and my bed with my wonderful blanket that my sister made me which I sleep with every night!
