Wow!! So much has happened! School is now over and has been for a while. All my people left me and I am stuck in this forsaken town all by myself. Its ok, I still get to talk to some of them! Others have pretty much written me off as annoying or irrelevant! I'm over it already!
We made basically the entire semester without any major snow. We had snow that lasted like a week then melted and it was beautiful outside. Everyone leaves and it dumps on us! Over the last forget two weeks, three days we've got about 2+ feet of snow. Its out of control but beautiful outside. Not temperature wise but all the white with the cows and the mountains and the steaming rivers. Its really a cool sight! But its STINKIN cold! I don't think it's gotten above 15 degrees outside the whole time. We had a major storm that lasted about 24 hours over Christmas!
Yesterday was Christmas and it was so much fun. I got to wake up early to talk to my baby brother who I miss so much. I read in my mission stuff that families can only talk to their missionaries for 30 mins but when we asked him he said we could talk to him until 2pm his time, that was two hours but that would have cost like $200. It was a great phone call. He had a hard time speaking english cuz he now thinks in Spanish. Thats always a good sign I think! Soon enough he'll be dreaming in Spanish too! But after every one talked it was my turn and I asked him what he knew now that I should know before I leave and all he had to say was that its hard. Don't expect it to be easy! I don't I know its going to be hard. I'm terrified anyway I'm not going to be prideful about it! Then before we had to hang up he asked to talk to me off speaker phone and I broke down. I did so good at not crying the whole time and then I cried like a little girl! But he told me how proud of me he was and that he loved me. I love my little brother so much! If anyone is proud its me of him! He's a good kid and doing whats right!
Anyway, I'm excited for tomorrow! I get to go play at the Sand Dunes in all this snow! That is ALWAYS fun! I haven't gone since I was a junior in high school with Devyn and a group of my friends but it was so worth it! I remember being so wet and cold but it was great! Me and my family are going to go and possibly Tyson and some of my friends. I wish there were some of my people here to go but they will all be back soon enough! I gotta try and bribe whoever is in charge of FHE groups to put me with D8 again or even D7. Just like I did last semester :D BWAHAHAHAHA!! I'm good like that! I guess its cuz I'm a local and everyone feels bad for me!!
As of today I leave on my mission in 46 days. It seems so far away but when I look back I got my call almost two months ago. I'm terrified to go. I'm going to miss everyone so much. I worry everyone will forget all about me! But I know its going to be good for me! I will be seriously blessed by going and who knows maybe I won't die alone!! Haha! I'm excited for the opportunity and to get to go to NY is going to be such an adventure! Its seriously the only place that could handle all my attitude!!! WOO HOO!!!!
All I have left to say is EVERYONE COME BACK NOW!!!!!!!!!

The day after my birthday - everyone else calls it Thanksgiving!
So over Thanksgiving break I did absolutely nothing. I drove to Provo, UT to hang out with my sister which was fun. I got to go to all my favorite eating spots, which is all I love to do anyway so WOO HOO! My sister lives in a condo with her two roommates Tori and Amy. Amy has, what I remembered to be a little kitty a very little very psycho kitty, but when I got there it was now I big cat a big psycho cat!! It kept trying to eat my toes off and not in the cute sorta way! Tori has the ugliest dog anyone in the world has or will ever see! People like to say that God played a mean trick on that dog and OH man is that the truth... I kid you not, this dog is FUGLY! So basically I got to spend my Thanksgiving break watching House, NCIS, and CSI: NY with a cat that east the dirty ends of Q-tips and an incontinent dog. Oh the places they will go! Good times!
Me and my sister left for home on my birthday (Wednesday). There wasn't really anything noteworthy about the ride home, it was the same as it always is... long and boring! But I got to jam out to my iPod which I always like to do! I associate everything in my life with songs! I live through music! Wendy met me in IF and took my out to dinner which was way nice of her! We got drinks to celebrate the big 21! The waitress thought it was funny that I was celebrating my 21st birthday without alcohol cuz she told us about her birthday the week before and how she was wasted.. what a thing to brag about. I was impressed!
Then Tyson called me to see if he could bring me the present he got me. It was really nice of him but unnecessary. He got me the candle of my favorite scent Lilacs that I showed him when I went to visit last month! I was amazed he remembered. Alot of people called and text me, I was surprised at how many did. Even Jordon my FHE brother sent me a text. But I won't say any names there were a couple that completely forgot. They said they'd remember but after a busy week they ended up forgetting. Its ok, I just wanted to publicly give them a hard time! I only do it out of love.
I don't remember what happened on Friday, must have been great cuz I had to repress it! But Saturday was fun-ish... I got to drive back to Utah but not as far this time. I was my 18 yr old cousin Derek's baptism. We're super proud of him. I had to give a talk about the Holy Ghost. I was so nervous! Really I was my dad said I looked like I was gonna rip my notebook in half! Then we drove back. Tyson called and I went and hung out with him later that night. We sat in the parking lot of Kmart for a while trying to think of what to do then he asked if I had ever been to the desert. I figured that was where he was going to kill me and dump the body! But it was actually REALLY cool. When you go far enough past the dunes you hit wide open desert. You can't see Rexburg lights or St. Anthony either. So it was pitch black and you could see all around you from mountain to mountain. But even better you could see stars... from horizon to horizon. It was way cool. Freezing cold but worth it all the way. We had a bonding moment! He's a good kid. I hope he doesn't marry that stupid girl though. I worry alot about him!
Sunday he came to church with me all one hour of it. Elder Johnson of the Seventy and his wife came and spoke. They're British - SOO COOL!! And their talks were awesome as well!! Then I went over to Tyson's house and we watched Elf! Such a stupid movie but worth every second! Then we went our separate ways. His family is way nice. After that I went and hung out with my sisters in D8... and we all did our homework! Yay for homework! And that is how I finished off my great break!
