Stake Luau!!

Tonight our stake had a luau.. it was a lot of fun and we always love meeting new people! We talked learned and watched some Hawaiian and Samoan dancing, and also ate Samoan food.. well I didn't eat it.. that stuff was nasty ha ha but it was a fun time and then after the Luau we came to the apartment for some fun with some ward friends. I love life here.. especially church life.

First weekend here in college!

It was a blast!! First let me start by saying that UVU is a very social place and so there is always something special going on. Well last night there was a Green Out dance so my friends and I decided to go it sounded fun and its a chance to meet people so we went..and it was a ton of fun! We got to get all decked out in the little green we had and went and it was a fun dance and the DJ was awesome too. It was really hot but it was worth it. Then after we decided to go see Melissa's cousin and his place and roommates.. we got in at like 3AM. (sorry mom) ha ha now..college is warming up to me so I'm ok with it.. and i got 100 on my math paper so things are looking up lol (sorry about the pictures..blogger is being weird haha)

I love college..NOT!

So here is what happened on my first day of school.....

I am fine, everything is dandy my first class, then after I had about an hour break so I figured that I would take my books home, well I am riding the bus to school because it conveniently picks me up from my apartment and takes me to school.. well that worked out fine but when I got on the bus to go home.. I ended up in PROVO! must of took the wrong bus eh? lol so then thankfully, I have amazing people in my life who came and picked me up.. Lyle Brereton! He took me to school and was just a few minutes late. Well after class I was grabbing lunch and I witness an accident so I had to wait until the cop told me I could go, and fill out a witness paper, well I had a class a one and did I make it? NO! haha so my first day of class was eventful.. I still have hope to make this year great though, I'm not giving up yet. lol

Welcome to thee O.C! (orem city)

Well.. I'm sure my mom has blogged a little on me moving already so I will just post pictures of our apartment and stuff like that. Well I love Orem and living on my own. I am close enough to home that I have seen my family almost every day. I love my roommates and we have had a blast. Melissa and I wanted to make a cake but our oven decided to smoke so we decided not to, then we went to walk around our apartment complex and it decided to rain so we were just having bad luck. haha. Then I went to go put money in the bank today and welp, I thought the money was in my purse and it ended up being in the garbage, that's no surprise though right? We have had pizza and haven't cooked anything and we have church at 12:40, we are in the 25th ward. We have had problems with the cable so hopefully that will get fixed soon and we can get our apartment put together more. I sure hope you guys come visit its such a cute place! We have really bonded as friends as we talk every night. I love it! We all understand the meaning of poor college students now too. I love life though and can't wait to start school TOMORROW!!! I have to be at the bus at 6:30.. i wanted to take the bus instead of pay $80 dollars lol it takes you from our apartment right to the school for $20 all year, much better deal! Well I love you all and love college life, and love being a wolverine, even though I just spent my life savings on a book the other day! The boys also live down the street so we have a ton of fun and there is never a dull moment, also britt and nikki live here too so its a lot of fun! <3

Randi Evans Master Class...

...More like kick your butt class and make you want to cry. haha Yesterday I went to a class taught by Randi Evans from this season of SYTYCD, she is from Utah and freakishly amazing. She has a way cute style. It was at Roy high school and the gym was jam packed! I wanted to cry during the warm up lol but it seriously was the best (and hardest) class ever. I was asked a long with Lacie and Omar to dance at the end of the class to show everyone else, she said "We brought something else they needed to learn from us." It made me feel amazing. I had a blast, and hope I can be a role model to dancers one day just like her! She made my passion for dance that much stronger!

The Joys of Boating!

Yesterday was such a fun day! I went boating with my future roomies! We just rented a boat and went to Jordanelle. It was really windy so we couldn't really wake board much so we just went swimming a bit before wake boarding. We had a lot of fun being stupid, dancing, and eating (what we do best) These girls are so much fun and I am so lucky to have such great friends, and even better the fact that I get to live with them! We were there from about 4-8. Melissa's brother and his friends came along for the ride, I think we scared them off though with how loud and dumb we can be. It was such a fun day and we made many great memories, more will come once we are all under the same roof! lol

18 years has come and gone, for momma they flew by, but for me they drug on and on..

In front of the apt. complex

So today mom and I headed out to the o-town (orem) my future town I'll be living in. It was a really fun and memorable day for me. First we went and spent way too much money on books, no wonder college is so expensive, got an ID card, and then I went to show mom the apartment, she loved it and thought it was really cute but I couldn't help but notice mom was getting sad. We had a great lunch at our favorite place PF Chang's, and got way too full we were sick. Then we stopped for a movie after shopping a bit, we went to Julie and Julia it was really cute, but made me hungry. It was a good day with my best friend, one that I'll remember forever. I love you mom and you truly are my best friend, I'm going to miss you so much. <3

Books..well one at least. lol

Bye Bye Bump!

As most of you know, my dad had a ugly gross bump on the left side of his head, notice the word had. He went into surgery today to get it removed cause it was growing and the doctor was worried about it. We woke up at 5 AM!! Let me start by saying, I don't even get up that early for school ever!! We went to the hospital and waited, 8:30 rolls around...still waiting. Finally the doctor came out about 9:15 to talk to us. Dad did so good, the bump was under his muscle so it took a little longer to take out than expected. He has never been under anesthetic, and it showed, he was a hoot and a holler when he woke up! During the wait mom and I went to the cafeteria, the food is actually good for a hospital. We couldn't sleep much cause the waiting rooms make it humanly impossible to sleep. I wanted to go see all the babies but mom said no. (sad face) Anyways, it was fun waiting with mom in the hospital, and even more fun when dad woke up. (Sorry about my gross no makeup pictures, but com'on it was 5 am and a hospital.)

I love to see the temple.. I'm going there someday!

So yesterday, I FINALLY went to the Oquirrah Mountain Temple open house! It was GORGEOUS! Jordan and I went, I was thankful to be able to go with him, I really wanted him to see it, and he loved it and was so excited and happy to be there! It made the journey I have taken with him so worthwhile. He knows that is where he wants to get married, whether with me or not. I love him and am thankful to have him in my life. I am also thankful for the lord and the knowledge he has given me, and the beautiful temples he has provided that are so close to where I live. I am thankful I have the opportunity to marry there for eternity someday!
