How the time flies....

Hey there everyone! Shoot dang it's been far too long! Once again I apologize for my negligence with this thing. The past few months have been crazy. Actually, that's the only excuse I have an it's not even good. :) Oh well, here I am and I hope you enjoy this new post.

I am now 2 months into this new semester here at EAC. It's been kind of tough to be quite honest. Well, at the moment it feels like it's tough :) Don't worry ya'll I'm having a good time here I'm just sick of this place. This is my 4th year here and it's about time for me to move on I think. I don't know what I'll move on to but I'm considering my few options and trying to figure out what the Lord has in store for me. The age of decision is never easy and I hope I remember when I'm done with it how difficult this was for me.

During the month of September I said goodbye to a very dear friend of mine as she went on a mission. I won't see her for another 18 months. Joy Lynn will be the best sister missionary Bolivia has ever seen! :) I got a letter from her on Friday and she's doing great! She's so full of encouragement and love. She's turning into an amazing missionary. Just last week I said goodbye to my amazing friend Kaila as she went on her mission too. They're all leaving me!!! It's okay though because I know they are doing the right thing.

Anyway, things are going well. Remarkably life continues to go on no matter what you do. I love my life and I couldn't ask for anything better! I have the best family and the most fantastic friends anyone could ever hope for. I'm going to shoot out a very heartfelt thank you to all of you people in my life. You have all shaped me into who I am and I'll always be grateful for your love and support. I love you all and thanks again :) I probably won't write again for a while so hasta pastas! :D

Good Morning T-town!

Good morning T-town! It's not morning but as my cousin Becky once told me, "No matter what time of the day it is, it's always nice to have someone say 'good morning' to you." Now, I'm paraphrasing but that was the gist of it. What a beautiful day it is today too! It's sunny and 45 degrees outside, making all of you Idaho dwellers a bit envious of the Arizona weather. I woke up this morning feeling oddly cheerful and I haven't been able to shake it off. Since that isn't a bad thing I think I'll just run with it. :)

This has been a good semester so far. I'm taking a lot of good classes with great instructors and I'm learning more and more every day. I have awesome roommates again which is something that the Lord has blessed me with since Day 1. Don't know how I got so lucky but I've always had the best roommates. We have all the same girls as last semester with one exception. Kaella moved back home and Chanda Hunt from Snowflake took her spot at the Beach House. Kaella is missed but we love having Chanda here too.

As far as my classes go I'm taking band, child growth and development, music theory, aural perception, and an anthropology class. I've been able to stay caught up in most of my classes but aural perception (AP) has been giving me a run for my money. It's all good though I just need to practice at it. This past weekend I was able to go to Snowflake and see my family. David and the Emilys were there and it was awesome! We fooled all of you into thinking my dad was to be the new bishop since we were all home the Sunday we got a new bishop in our ward. Believe me, it wasn't intentional but still quite successful. :) On Monday after I got back we had a pancake eating contest at Denny's. I lost pitifully eating only 3 pancakes while my roommate Aubre beat us all and the record at Denny's by eating 12 pancakes. She was practically rolling out of that place. My roommate Hali came in a close 2nd eating 11 pancakes. You girls are awesome!

Well folks, my life is grand yet it's probably not as grand for you as it is for me. I don't have perfect days though, no one does. Just remember that when those days come to turn to the Lord and He always makes things better. He doesn't take it all away, but He definitely makes it better. I love you all and I hope you all have the good and the bad days. Bad days are always there for helping us appreciate the good in other days. With that, have a fantabulous day everyone! ;)
Before the competition...
And pretty much there :) Good job guys!
