Life in pictures....

Yesterday we went with Sarah and her friend, Ryan and his friends, and McKay's two younger brothers to the USU vs. U of U womens soccer game....

Sitting around my apartment....

I got a kidney stone last weekend and McKay took care of me all weekend including a trip to the hospital for a CT scan he was so nice about it even though I knew he was dying to watch the college football games that were on at the time of the event...this is him trying to keep me calm when I though we were going to die...he wore his mask all night and told everyone he was trying to not catch my stone...
and just a picture of us...

YAY!

I am now a employee of Provo School District doing a before/after school program with Lakeview Elementary for an hour and a half Monday-Thursday....sound like a dreamy job? I think so! I am super excited! I am sure I will keep you posted on this...lots of fun adventures about to begin!

I'm alive...

Wow it has been a crazy last two weeks! Sorry I haven't posted for a while...my internet at my apartment struggles but I think I got it figured out....

So my last two weeks in a nut shell....this is my second weekend in Orem, I have already been to church once here in Orem this year I've even done laundry here TWICE...tomorrow will be the third time and if you ask my parents those are the two biggest accomplishments of mine so far this semester. ;)

Don't worry that isn't all I have been up to though.....I took the praxis test (the test I have to take for the education program) man was that fun! Glad it is over!! After that big event it was onto the next step of applying for my program....I turned in my application on Tuesday and I have an interview on October 2!! THEN I WILL BE A TEACHER IN TWO YEARS!!! Man it is weird...I'M OLD!

Next exciting thing....I filled out my first job application ever yesterday along with started my first resume! I have my first job interview on Monday! (Yes I am almost 20, have had 3 jobs so far in my life and never had to go through this process)
Other than that all I've been doing is school and playing.
Here are a few pictures of things I have done:

I went with McKay and his family to hear his little sister sing at her high school football game....


Not the best picture in the world but McKay took me up to squaw peak for the first time every last weekend....everyone NEEDS to see that at least once in their lives....What a gorgeous view!!



I love college life and am thankful for my friends and family who support me through everything I do! I love you all!!

A Journey Across the Country....

So I left for Ohio on Friday afternoon to help McKay pack up and give him company on his long drive home. We went to dinner on Friday when I landed that called in a night. Saturday he had some work to finish up, we packed up the apartment, and went and saw the Proposal (Good movie!!) Then Sunday we loaded the cars and started across the country. We drove and drove and drove some more then got hotel rooms and slept then got up Monday and drove and drove until we got to Lincoln Nebraska where there was a wild life safari and thought it sounded fun so we thought why not go check it out? Pretty much what this was was a zoo that you drove through. It was actually pretty fun....

We started out at an overlook where we saw lots of elk and then we got back in the car to start the safari....we saw elk, whit-tialed deer, then onto a wetland, then we parked a there was a small hike where we saw owls, a brown bear, then up to a little lake that had turtles and frogs in it, then saw wolves, got back in the car and saw all sorts of birds and finished off our safari with bison and pronghorns. Call us nerds but it was fun....here are some pictures...I suck at trying to figure out there order sorry!














There are just a few of the many we took...then we hit the road again and got home Tuesday night. It was lots of driving but fun. I'll keep you updated with all my other adventures of my crazy college life ;) stay tuned.....Love you all!

Home sweet home....

I'm home from my adventure across the country. It was lots of fun and also very long. I have some pictures so stay tuned....so much to post so little time...
