Trip Home

 This weekend was my first trip home to visit, it was the longest drive of my life. I missed everyone so much and I was so eager to get home that it dragged the drive out FOREVER. Once I finally got home I got to spend sometime with my dad and he showed me kid history videos forever until Dylan came and picked me up.

To kind of put names with faces
here is Dylan

Dylan and I went to Strangling Brothers Haunted Circus with his sister Kortnie and her friend. It was so much fun. I love haunted houses, Halloween is my absolute favorite holiday! I get pretty easily scared so I think that is what makes haunted houses so much fun to me. This one was good because Dylan even got scared a few times! Dylan also loves haunted houses so we are going to try and hit up some of our favorite ones this year! One of my favorites is Haunted Mill in Idaho, I'm pretty excited for him to go to that one! We also want to try to go to Asylum 49, that one is supposed to be really scary because they are aloud to pick you up and take you away, they can even stick you in a closet or something! I won't let them pull me away from my group tho, I'm going to hang on tight!

The next morning my mom woke me up way early so she could see me before she went to work I totally thought I was still in Idaho and asked her what she was doing there before I realized I was in Utah! Once we were talking and I finally started to actually wake up I realized she was crying, when i asked her what was wrong she said she just missed me! It was cute, I missed her too.

Here is My Family
Codie, Chase, Mom, Dad

after she left, I fell asleep again, next thing i know my dad came in and woke me at 630 to get donuts!! We went and got a dozen donuts and only ate like 2 1/2 between the two of us! He then wanted to watch kid history all morning, he was getting upset because I kept falling asleep, but it was sooo hard to keep my eyes open!! After watching the you tube videos we went to figure out what was wrong with my Jeep. Luckily it wasn't what we thought it was at first and it was a lot cheaper and easier fix!

and here is Kortnie

Dylan came over and we went to lunch with my parents. We went to Dragon Hill, I'm pretty sure I over stuff myself every time I go there, It's just so dang good! After stuffing our faces we were all pretty full so we just went home and hung out until it was time for Codie and Chase to come over. It was so good being with all of my favorite people again. We had dinner together and then all of us went to Farr's for ice cream with Kortnie. It was so much fun, we were telling tons of stories, I don't think I have laughed so hard in while! We heard some pretty hilarious, it will definitely be a night I will never forget!

Tomorrow is my last day here, so my mom is making a pot roast lunch. I can't believe how fast this weekend went by. I am not ready to leave everyone. On the bright side though, i'm not going back up to something I hate, and Ashlee and I will be back down here next weekend for her friends birthday so I will get to see everyone again!

Free Day

To start out today, I'm going to have to go back to late last night. We were all in bed, it was probably about midnight, and me and Ashlee heard music and talking outside. Ashlee gets up and goes to look what it is and its a bunch of boy dropping off girls, next thing I know I hear "kiss her! kiss her!". Standing over at the window peeking out the blinds is my cousin screaming to these people to be a man and kiss the girls...I was in shock. They started yelling back to us and telling us to come down there and kiss them ourselves and Ashy just keeps egging them on! Next thing we know they are making their way up to our apartment! I run out to make sure the front door is locked and there are our roommates trying to figure out what the Sam heck is going on! Some how the kids find our room and start knocking on our door asking us to kiss them and Ashlee screams to them that we turn into pumpkins at midnight....she has an interesting mind...(: Then she opens the freaking door! All of the roommates go screaming down the hall like little girls, but luckily they were leaving and didn't try to come in! As they drove away they said they would be back, we will see if that is true, I sure hope not.

Now to actually talk about today, none of us had early morning classes so we all decided to sleep in. Well Ashlee, Amber, and I didn't have anything until later that day. We seriously sat on the couch all day watching friends and the only time we got up was to make ourselves food and then we would sit on the couch again. Finally Ash had work and I had school so we actually got ready for the day around 4 o'clock! While I was walking around campus i noticed something so weird, the handicap spots are shaped like Idaho! I always just thought that back home it was just a coincidence that they were shaped like Utah, so i totally took a picture. I probably looked like an idiot taking a picture of that, but oh well, i don't know anyone!

Day 4

After school we went to go get pizza with our free pizza card, we also go cheese bread. The pizza was so amazing and we downed everything! I had been craving pizza since I got here so it was nice to finally have it. We then went to Sammy's again because they were handing out free ice cream. That is how tonight was named free night, we got dinner and dessert for free! 

On our walk back home from Sammy's we came across this dead snake, it was a pretty decent size too! Well Megan is way afraid of snakes so amber picked it up and chased her with it. Megan screamed and ran like she was running from a killer, it was hilarious. I wish we could have gotten it on video! We stayed up talking until about 1 and i have class tomorrow at 7:45 and I'm writing this....so we will see how tomorrow goes!

Discovering American Cream

Today started out as an average day. I went to my Human Anatomy and Physiology class...I feel like that class is going to be fairly easy for me since i have taken so many classes talking about the exact same thing. I then came home and studied....seriously all day. I have majority online classes so I am the only one home for majority of the day and it gets so boring around the house!

Later that day we had an apartment meeting, we played games and my room totally won! We got toilet paper, cleaning supplies, popcorn, and best part FREE PIZZA!!!! We are really excited about the pizza....that's every college students dream, free food!

After we finished dinner and did all of our homework, well at least as much as we could handle doing, we started to get really bored. We all finally decided to go for a walk, we didn't really have anywhere in mind, we just set out to see where we ended up. We came across this place called Sammy's and decided to check it out. Sammy's is this really cool little place, they have food and a live band. The band that was playing was American Cream and they were actually really good! They gave us free CD's and T-shirts!! We all got pictures with them and then came home and got pictures with our new shirts. It ended up being a great night and it was totally unplanned.

I am really loving college, and I really like my roommates. I am having so much fun and am so happy I followed through on moving up here!

Arriving at School

1st Day of School

I am going to attempt to start a blog so that I can look back at my experiences I had while going to school. I've never done this before and I'm not sure how it works, so we will see how this goes!

I moved all my stuff into my apartment Friday September 12, 2014. It felt way weird moving everything in, it hadn't hit me yet! We then went shopping for my groceries and small things that I would need around the house, this stressed me out to no end. My poor family had to put up with me, I am so grumpy when I am stressed out! That whole weekend I stayed with my family at my Aunts house, she was so much help that weekend, I don't know what i would do without her! Once Sunday came it was time to say goodbye to my family, head up to my apartment and go to Church! It was hard saying goodbye to everyone, but I still don't think it had hit me yet! That night me and my cousin Ashlee went to her boyfriend's (Harry) house for dinner, it was so good!

Monday morning was my first day of school, that's that's about the time it hit me and i started getting depressed because I had no idea what to do in my free time, I had no friends yet! I was also super stressed because I had no idea how to work I-Learn so it was all getting over whelming. I was missing my family and my boyfriend so much, I had planned on coming home that weekend. Unfortunately something is wrong with my jeep so my mom told me that I wouldn't be able to come down, which made me way upset. That night we went to FHE and met our FHE family, I absolutely love my family, I think they will be a lot of fun!

2nd day, looking more like students already!

Tuesday came around and I didn't have class until 5...this was horrible! None of my roommates were home so i got extremely bored and finished all my homework for the rest of the week! I was so lonely, but my dad called and gave me good news that he wanted me to come down that weekend so he could fix my jeep!! That cheered me up a lot. That night I hung out with my roommates all night, it was so much fun and instantly made my experience here get so much better.


I am absolutely loving it up here now. I miss everyone so much, but I am really glad that I came up here, I definitely think I will stay here longer than just one semester like i thought i would be doing right before i moved up here. I am really excited for these things called block parties they have, I will be missing one this weekend, but hopefully there will be more that i can attend!
