The season starts off- good!

So tonight was our first game, and it was FANTASTIC!!!!! sure, there were a few things that didnt hit right away, but in the end everything worked out! and it was a lot of fun! I think it might be better than last season. I love the team. We went to Craigo's afterwards for our team dinner, which is the best part of the whole thing. College basketball is very confusing though... very different than Titan Basketball games. Do you know how confusing it is cheering for both teams? VERY CONFUSING!!!! But it was fun, and we basically pulled the whole thing together in a day. It was sooo good!

PS: Today I went to the college of beauty school. Got my hair thinned and took off 3 inches. Wednesday I'm going blonde!!! YAY!!!! lol

I BEAT THE CHALLENGE!!!

So last friday me, Jay and my two best friends Cody and Elizabeth along with another couple (kenny and his gf) went to Big Juds to do their challenge burgers. Me, being small, decided that I would do the half pound burger, seeings how I dont eat that much in a day anyways. Cody was in with me on the half pound too, since he's trying to cut weight for wrestling. Jay went with the 2 pound, along with kenny, and Liz did the 1 pound. I finished it all by myself, and I'll tell you that I have never been so miserable in all my life!!! That was way too much food! The rest of the night I was trying not to puke my bloody guts out. After big Juds, we decided to go back to Jay's place, go swimming and hottubbing for a few hours, then went and watched a movie (signs to be exact.) It was a great fun night!

Now I've had the Time of my Life!

So far this semester is going great.... Loads of work, but still. You learn to manage your time well, which is a great for life lessons. Even though I havent been able to hang with people as much as Ive wanted to, school is very important for one who wants to become a Team physician. That is my new plan by the way. I am now dropping the nursing idea for now and am going to get my minor in Athletic Training, then go home during next spring and summer, intern for my 800 hours for Union so that I can then be elligable for the NATA test to become a certified athletic trainer. Then I will go back to school for my major in Team physician. After that major I'll come back to BYUI and get my major in nursing. That's the plan so far, until God tells me some other plan. My mom seems a tad upset that I'm staying for spring, prolly just because she is tired of all the male hormones in the house or something... dont worry mom! I'll be home for the summer! And its not like I'm getting married anytime soon. But I am having fun in the melting iceburg of Rexburg, even though there are rivers from all the melting snow everywhere.

So.....

So... thats basically everything here if you really think about it. So- its snowing again, so the snow goes up to your mid calf if its not shoveled, so I still dont understand my world foundations online class, so I miss home but still love it here more, so what does a 19 year old girl want for her birthday?, so should I go down to Vegas for spring break before starting spring semester or should I go home? These are the questions and things that haunt me. I went to all my classes this last week. Here they are in the order of favorite to least favorite:
1. Sports med lab
2. Sports med
3. Book of Mormon 2
4. Psychology
5. Human Anatomy
6. World Foundations

But other than classes, homework overload, trying to focus on working and not failing, spending time with Bf and roommies, trying to figure out how im going to do cheer, homework, bf, and everything else, I havent slept more than 3 hours each night due to nightmares that are so bad they wake me up that im too scared to go back to sleep. So yes world, I'm exhausted- so if I snap at you, im sorry!

I'm Back! Begin Round 2!

Im finally back in my second "home"! Arrived in -9* Rexburg this morning at 10:30. It was soo nice to be back, but then I felt a little jipped because all my other roommates had their moms and stuff, and I was all by myself... so it was a little boring today until Jay and Brooklynn came over, at 230ish and we hung til almost midnight! Its sooo weird, when we hang, even though we really dont do anything, you really dont get bored. Anyways, we made cookies, watched an episode of House, sat around and talked forever (yes we still find things to talk about! AMAZING- I know! lol) and did more stuff. So, goals for the semester;
1. Learn all the names of the girls in my relief society
2. Have grades be no lower than a C+ (B- really but I have to be flexible- im not perfect!)
3. Do cheer again
4. Get nursing applications done
5. HAVE FUN WHILE NOT GOING ABSOLUTELY INSANE OR FREEZING TO DEATH!!!

So there you have it! So goodnight everyone around the world and in freezing Rexburg! Until Later Y'all!

Home for the holidays- Celebrate me home!

Ok- so, even though my break has not turned out exactly how I wanted it to, its still been fun and good to me! Ive gotten to see my family- all of them! I had a marvolous christmas where I got a red toaster and mixer for my college dorm, got a new boyfriend (Jay Hamann) Ive gotten to spend quality time with most of my friends and the others we're working out days. So overall I'd say this break has been amazing! Sure, I had a funeral to go to, I had to go to the depths of hell (aka Max's house) to get a christmas present, but I made the best of them! I've also gotten to hangout with Jay a lot, went to menchies and panda with Alix and Emma, went to Ikea with Jessi, and have gotten to play in nursery with some of the cutest kids on the planet! Although I am ready to go back to my life out at BYU-I. I miss it soo much out there! I miss the people, the atmosphere, not the snow so much, but still. I miss my apartment and the independance I had out there! oh well, c'est la vie!

"Life is wonderful"

Ok- so this vacation started out suckish... and I was in the fullest intention to just moap around the whole time... but thats not what Sister Glem would have wanted, and I just know she'd find some way to smack me if I did. So I began thinking, "What would she do if it weren't her, but another person?" and "what can I do to help others who are feeling just as alone inside as me?" So today was the funeral, and I had every intention to make it as beautiful and grand as she was. A few of the talks got me crying, especially the ones that told her children that She loved them. I'm considered to be one of her "daughters" as her actual family says, so I took it to mean me too. Then, Me and a few choice YW (Mikyla, Paige Child and Carnahan, Brooke, Sariah, Lindsey, Mckenzie, and Breegan) all got up and sang "Tell me Why" which is her favorite song from Camp which she taught us her last year there. It was truely beautiful and had many in the audience crying. Then, at the end, as the cascett passed all of us who were sitting on the end row by the door, we all balling, Brother Glem passed and said, "see? she wants you girls to be the last to see her leave because she loves you the most." Not helping with the crying, just making it worse. Then, I went to the family grave site memorial, again, because I'm considered family and my dad was conducting. We then went back to the family luncheon. It was truely a great day, and I know for a fact that Sister Glem was there, crying from gladness, crying because she felt touched and knew how loved she was. At the funeral there were about 900 people there, and many more came to the viewing. Me and several other YW got a tad upset at the viewing; it just wasn't Sister Glem. The light was gone, which just goes to show that the body doesn't make up the person who you hold special, but the spirit does. It was just a body, laying there cold. Although we thought she should have been smiling! She always had a smile on her face, even when she was sad, for she knew better things were to come. She will surely be missed on this earth; so Jesus, you better come quickly! because I dont know how long I can live without my Mommy Peggy Glem here with me!
