30 DAYS AND COUNTING

I have been home from BYU-Idaho since December. And thankfully I've gotten a good job that has helped the time pass. Ive been going to Disneyland a lot lately. I went on Friday for my birthday with some friends from BYU-Idaho that don't live to far away and were able to come down. Andrea, Whitney and Lindsay were all able to come. It was so much fun!!

here I am with my Birthday Button 

I got to dance in the new parade..... the new parade is awesome!!

Me, Whitney, Andrea, and Lindsay on Small World

So the exciting news is that I got accepted into the Jerusalem Center for Near Eastern Studies, I am so excited. I fly to Tel Aviv on the 28 of this month and will be there for 4 months. I can't believe its so soon. So thats about it thats going on with me. I will update my blog while I'm gone so i can keep you all up to date with my adventures!!

7 week break

The 7 week break was also alot of fun. My friend Emily Beech came fro a visit to California the first week and half I was home. We had alot of fun, we went to six flags, the beach, and the sawdust festival in Laguna Beach. It was fun!!

This is Makelle, me, BAT MAN, Brittany, and Sarah in front of Gotham city at Six Flags.

I also got to play mommy for a week with Kalena and Kea (Kassie's kids). We had so much fun together. We went to the park, out to lunch, shopping, Sea World. Then Kassie, Pono, Noa and Koa came and joined us for a fun day at Disneyland.

Kalena, me and Kea waiting for the Dolphin show to start

We got to go to Arizona a couple of times and go to lake Pleasant with Kassie and Kyle and their families. It was so much fun!!! Sadly the lake wasn't as glassy and smooth as I would have liked it, it was more unpleasant if you ask me. Koa with his million dollar shy smile!!!

Another exciting thing I did during the break was hike the Grand Canyon. It was interesting.... the way down was fun and fine. the way up....I was really wishing I had a mule!!!!

Mom and me after a long day of hiking

The beautiful sunset on the canyon. It's breathtaking!!!

Summer 08!!!

I finished up school in the summer semester, it took a while to get into the groove of things because all my friends were gone on missions or not in school that semester, but finally by the last two weeks of school I was enjoying things again and then I had to leave... I have great timing right?!?!

Lindsay and me at the 50 lap relay. our ward gets really into it!!! we won the spirit award WOOT WOOT

Andreas Monson and me at her surprise birthday party playing with sparklers

On the 4 of July we went and bought some fireworks and set them off at our friend Stewart's house. and i got this sweet picture of Jeremiah jumping through the firework.
We used to watch Heroes outside our apartment with a group of friends, cause it was too hot to sit inside. This is during the process of moving the couch onto the balcony.

They had a Beetles tribute band come to BYU-I and it was so fun!!! we stayed down on the track part and it was a blast!!!

I think i should officially get the bad bloger award, but it was just that my life wasn't to exciting being at home, and i didn't want to bore anyone to tears!! Anyway im finally back up at school and ir's so exciting!! It's feels kinda weird to be back up here though cause most of our friends are on missions or off track. It's ok though. Anyway my ward is great and my FHE brothers are way fun...some interesting!!! Today we went to this really cool lake that was in the middle of the sand dunes it only got to about your knees in depth but it was really wide so you could just walk across it.

My classes are way intense this semester. but I really enjoy them all. I'm taking anat and Phys, Chem 101, Intro to lit, College writing and a career exploration class. I reallly like all the classes i'm taking there intense, but really fun, and all my teachers are wonderful. Rate my professor is amazing and i highly recomend it!! umm and i think thats about it. Ohh and i was going to play on the competitive soccer team here, but then some guys came over and they need girls to play in our ward team and that sounds like way more fun, cause i guess everyone gets way into it and makes shirtd and stuff, so it will be way fun.

This is lindsay and i driving up. We fit all our stuff in a honda civic!!! i know your inpressed!!!
Me and lindsay getting ready to go out...i pretty much love her!!! haha
Brittany and Lindsay getting ready. Brittany is on the meso america tour right now. I'm so jealous! I can't wait for her to come back, we always have tons of fun!!
This is at the really shallow lake with Whitney, me, Lindsay, and Garret one of our FHE bro's.
So i braided lindsay's hair like that and it looks so cool, but i cant do a french braid to myself so it kinda sucks!!! so im making lindsay lindsay learn how!!!! cause it's way cute!!

FIRE

So i came home from psychology class today super hungry cause i didnt eat breakfast, and i hade some chicken marinading in the frige from sunday so it was gunna be simply divine. so i pulled out the chiken and put it inpan to broil it in the oven....yum i know. But i didnt have a broiling rack so i made one out of foil. So i pop it in the oven and im getting all excited and i go and get some corn out of the freezer and i turn around and theres tons of smole coming out of the oven. so i open up the windows and then walk back over to check on the chicken andthe pan had a huge flame coming of the side of it. So there i am staring in the oven kinda laughing and yelling that the ovens on fire and then it starts to grow cause of the oxygen. So lindsay was sitting in the living room and she got up and grabed the fire extiguisher and put out the fire in the oven. it was so funny though...we were like on the floor laughing. But we had to run out side cause the fumes from the fire extinguisher made it so we couldn't breath. So that was my exciting story for the day...probubly my most exciting story for the whole year.
