today i hung out with this guy name byron who is actually playing right now. we went to his apartment and jammed on his drum set for a while. it was so much fun! even though i really was suppose to be in my math class...i couldn't pass this uP! and i learned a lot of cool new things that i will be able to play in my bands rehearsal tonight. he may even be coming to my rehearsal tonight and help me out and teach me more of what i could play when. i'm excited!

Hey! So I don't have any exciting pictures to put up here yet...how sad is that? wait! thats a lie! i just remembered i do have a picture. here is the time that jenni and i met chris veazey and we tried to climb a haystack. haha ya those are a lot bigger when you are right next to them and they are not easy to climb!

oh and here is a funny picture of jenni and i wearing our emo outfits from pacsun! i honestly thought that zebra jacket was pretty cool!

so today i orded my online scrapbook and for some reason it didn't recognize my address here in rexburg so i sent it home. parents please forward it to me when you get it. i can't wait to see what it looks like! if it turns out well then i'll continue doing my scrapbooking that way.

well i have a lot of homework to do this weekend! and i have a date tonight! the fifth but kind of sixth one this semester. woot woot!

Back in Rexburg!

Alright! I'm back in Rexburg and starting a new semester! But before I go into that I wanted to put some pics from Christmas break.

Some of my friends and I love going to this restaurant called Confuscious. It's chinese food and it is SO good! Afterwards we drove around by Hillside Jr. High and looked at the houses over there and the Christmas lights. It was so much fun. I love being able to come home and still have good friends from high school to hang out with. Yes, dad. we still hang out :)

look! no Jesus!

thats one big peppermint!

So yesterday was the first day of school! I think i'm really going to like this semester. I'm taking Chemistry 105, Math 111 Trig, Ed 200, Percussion Methods, Conducting, and Percussion Ensemble. I'm really only worried for my Ed class. There's just a lot of work, but i know i have time for it so hopefully i can commit myself to it. Chemistry is basically going to just be a review of a lot of what i learned last semester. I wish i just took this class last semester. I didn't even need the chem class that i took last semester but i didn't know that until it was too late.

I love having my own room! And only two roommates! Here are a few pictures of my room, one for each corner.

ha notice how my computer is at this blog page

well that's all for now. i'm hoping to take a picture soon of my roommates and I.

Christmas Vacation

So for Christmas this year my family decided to meet in St. George with Emily and her family and stay with at her husbands family's house all week! I'm just going to say that this house is amazing. It's so big that Julie and I couldn't remember where the front door was the first night we got there. The drive here from Boise was pretty intense. We all woke up at about 5am last Sunday and were out of the house by 6am. The roads weren't too bad until we got near Sweetzer Summit, and that's where we saw a car rolled over off the road. Luckily we left early Sunday morning because the roads just got worse and worse. We were afraid we wouldn't be able to make it to Utah at all. We ended up driving for a total of 12 hours! I was driving my car from 6am to 3pm, but considering I accidently overdosed on my migraine medicine, I was so exhausted and I almost fell asleep at the wheel. So Jenni Johnson, (she came and stayed at my house for a week in Boise because her family moved to utah, so we were dropping her off) turned on some ABBA which definety helped me stay awake! I accidently overdosed because I asked Jenni for some pain reliever at about 8am and it was in my purse but she just saw my migraine perscription medicine bottle and grabbed two of those. So it was basically my fault for not even checking what I was putting in my mouth! I had already taken one pill that morning around 6am. My parents called our Bishop, who is a doctor, and he said to not fall asleep and also to go check my blood pressure, (because it is a blood pressure medicine, and for some reason it prevents my migraines from coming! :)) The last three hours to St. George were the longest. But we finally made it!


I have the two cutest nephews! Lincoln is only a few weeks old and he is just so cute to hold, especially when he's sleeping. he has so much hair too! Easton is so fun to play with! i can't tell you how many times I've picked him up to look at the christmas decorations because they include a train, which he loves, and Santa Claus, and reindeer. He is obsessed with Thomas the Tank Engine too! We could do the same things over and over again every day and he still thinks its so exciting! And he's at the cutest stage where he repeats everything that you say. He accidently tripped and i said, "oopsie daisies" and now he will always say, 'oopsie doosies' I also taught he to say 'gansta' and Julie taught him so say what pirates say 'Arrrr mateys'

Erica, Julie, and I drove around St. George today. There are so many amazing houses that are worth more than a million dollars! The house we are staying in is easily over two million dollars... wow! The layout and the way this place is decorated is definetly how i would love to have my home be someday in the future. ha... ha...


Last night we all sat down and played rock band. It was a blast. i went all the way up to expert level on the drums for some of the songs. But really it's just a fast rock beat and actually pretty different than playing real drums. the singing probably was my favorite thing to do. Especially while singin Eye of the Tiger. lol


so basically my sister julie is amazing and will be famous someday. i just finished reading her first book titled, "Blue." I'm not going to give away anything about it but i will just tell you that i am NOT a reader and i could not stop reading it! I made her read to me the beginning of the second book because the first book just leaves you hanging and wanting to know more! it would be such a good series and a great movie! she definetly needs to get it published.


well thats all for now. i think i'm going to go play rock band with my sis!
this has been the best week ever!
