Im Not going crAzy i swear....Its just finals week.

I have 4 gOals for this week: 

                                           * Do not mentally Die.

                                           * stop intaking high doses of sugar and such in order to stay awake.

                                            *Try to not laugh too much.... because i think my roommates think i am crazy... (its an unfortunate side effect of stress.... I just laugh constantly trying to deal with it) 

                                           * Avoid Jerry, because im pretty sure he is going to find out about mine and                    

                                            Jewlz's MASH game from when we got bored that one time in Relief Society...

Wish me Luck... I Loves you all <3

                                             

Now Its time for CHRISTMAS!!!

Weirdest Thanksgiving in my entire life......but good thing i'm a good cook!! So it wasnt 100% horrible.

I Just miss everyone like crazy :*(

nOW i am counting down the days till a beautiful little plane takes me home to Ohio.

So... I have come to a conclusion about my college life....I don't spend enough time living it!!!

Time for Operation start OVER. This semester was awkward and lonely ~ but that only means now i know what NOT to do next time around! 

Last Thankful List for November :

when life gets confusing and sad ~ a Good LonG session of YOGA~

 then Bubble bath, lavender Oil, candles, huge mug of herbal tea, soft lonely music, feather pillows, Walnut whip Lotion, BiG fluffy P.J's, and a good healthy cry.

Grateful for a Mother who has taught me so much about how to be my best self

for all the bad apples in my barrel and the opposition they create

wholesome t.v shows from the 50's and 60's 

Anne of Green Gables and Sense and Sensibility

Roommates that care :)

Friends who make my life amazing 

I'm grateful for a little sister who writes me aDORable letters and emails (surprise she ACTUALLY misses me!)

Grateful for being able to Change and be Happy :) 

and ever since i have lived in this little apartment i am eternally grateful for the random Quarters that i find in my  wallet today.....because that means i can do laundry this week!

P.S. If U have seen me make this expression or something like it in person I am GraTeFuL for yoU! Because BeiNg crAzy keeps me Sane !!

A few little observations...While sitting in my quiet little apt. looking out at the Snow

I am almost positive i am the only person alive in Rexburg Idaho. Maybe that is a little bit of an over statement...However, i have seriously only seen about 5 people.....how lonely. 

I found out that after 24hours of not being around any people its really easy to start talking to yourself...and household objects. 

Also, I just realized that i reaLLY don't know how to cook Rice. And i can't figure it out for the life of me!!!

P.S. HAPPY BIRTHDAY GRANDPA ADKINS !!!!

Falling Hard for Rexburg Idaho

So....i have a little confession to make today. Throughout the first semester here at BYU-i... Kristy has not exactly warmed up to the idea of living the college life.  However, i am starting to think that Rexburg is devising a plan against this little paradigm that i have comfortably created. Since i haven't entirely 'fallen' head over heels emotionally.. this place is aggressive in its plan to make me do so physically.

Let me Explain. 

I don't think it is possible for me to count the times i have tripped, fallen, bumped into, smacked into and just plain fallen over myself in the past 3 months.

At FHE a month ago: a pole ran into my face 

    Humanities class: I step on the same guys shoes every Monday, Wednesday and Friday because he doesn't ever give me enough room to get past

    Last night  : In high heels and i pencil skirt i fell down the steps in the snow concert hall...I guess one good thing about going to an Opera all alone is you can look like a total fool and it doesn't matter too much cuz no one knows your name. 

    This morning while doing Laundry: The shelf that is above the washer decided it wanted to make contact with my forehead.

Guitars Unplugged: Mariah was kind enough to not notice the 3 times i slid down the steps. When she did finally look back i was on my bum about to give up on standing up again

Unfortunately this is only about 10% of the incidents that have disrupted the MYTH that taking Ballet last year had given me enough dexterity to last a lifetime. 

Who knew College would turn me into such an awkward person....

Just a little tender mercy in the form of 2 wonderful Girls that i know and a beautiful EFY song... 
Sometimes it takes a good heart felt cry and just being there for each other to make Life a little sweeter. 
I love you Ashley and Mariah <3


The photos in the magazines
Don't dictate who I'm supposed to be
The world can't recognize, all that I am inside
But I know in His eyes, I am a part of, the bigger picture,

There's so much more to me
He helps me see that I have so much to offer
I am His daughter
He loves me the way I am,
He's my strength when I stand
He is my King, and my Father,
I am His daughter.

The people on the TV screen,
The leaders, rulers, and queens
I watch them shape the world,
And though I'm just a girl, I still know for sure,
That I am a part of, the bigger picture

There's so much more to me
He helps me see that I have so much to offer
I am His daughter
He loves me the way I am,
He's my strength when I stand
He is my King, and my Father,
I am His daughter

And when I'm feeling small,
And wondering if I'll ever, find courage to stand tall
Through His love I remember

There's so much more to me
He helps me to see that I have so much to offer
I am His daughter
He loves me the way I am
He's my strength when I stand
He is my King, and my Father,
I am His daughter

Me and my Wonderful Grandma Making a Quilt :)

This isn't Just my little brother.....He's my good luck charm too ;)
