Guess who's back back back, back again ... me! I'M BACK IN REXBURG. Fall 2014 here I am! This is my 3rd semester at BYU-Idaho and I really do like it! I mean, sometimes. Depends on the day. But! It does have its perks. I just really do not like the town it is in. I'm excited to start my 3rd semester here though! I made some goals for myself for this year.

1. Get all A's
2. Get into shape!
3. Have FUN with my friends
4. Strengthen my relationship/testimony with my Heavenly Father


I am so glad I have friends here too so I'm not sitting alone in my apartment missing Ian. I'm using this time away from him to become the best version of myself, grow as an individual (and a couple) but become a better disciple of Christ.


Friday was move-in day and it went great! My parents stayed here till Saturday and helped me with everything. They are seriously the best. I am so blessed! Saturday I was reunited with one of my best friends Missy!!!! She is amazing and it was so good to talk with her. Then I hung out with my friends, Natalie, Tucker, Carlin, Zander and the boys' two roommates! It was really fun! I can't wait for school to start. I'm such a bookworm but I love getting a schedule and working hard! Heres to Fall! Lets hope it doesn't snow until November like last year....!!!!

Ed Sheeran!!!!!

Last Thursday, I went to the Ed Sheeran concert with Kelsey and Natalie. It was amazing! Like, think of being on vacation, laughing, happy and listening to awesome music. Just having an amazing time. That was the Ed Sheeran concert! He is AMAZING live. His talent is, can you guess? Amazing. I wish I could replay that night over and over again. He had an opening act, called Rudimental and they were just... weird. But we made a fun time out of it by getting crazy and dancing. Everyone around us, gave us incredibly dirty looks but we just laughed it off. I love hanging out with those two, because its always so much fun. Ed played some of his old music too and it was just fun to sing at the top of my lungs. He played, A team, Lego House, Sing, Don't, One, You need Me, Goldrush, I see Fire and more! I am so glad I went and am definitely going to his next concert.

Lake Day with Jens! :)

So I really need to get better at posting on this blog. Anyways, about 2 weeks ago I went out on my boat with one of my best friends Jenna! :) She was leaving for school in a couple days so we decided to enjoy a day on the boat!! We went tubing, swimming and just hung out! We even passed Sydney Rice's house and he was OUTSIDE!! It was awesome!! Here are some pictures from the day:

BEST WEEK OF MY LIFE. I got to go to Sandpoint, Idaho with one of my best friends Natalie and her family. There were about 5 families total and it was just SO MUCH FUN! We stayed at the Rands lake house, which is truly magical. Their hospitality is amazing. Becky Rands is one of my new favorite people!!

Seriously there was so many things that happened. First, how about us running on the gas on the way TO Idaho?! Yeah that was crazy! The whole time it was just so relaxed and there was no schedule the whole time. It was awesome! The first day we went bike riding and got ice cream, paddle boarded, went on the jet ski and just laid out in the sun. The next couple days were filled with boating, wake surfing, fishing (I CAUGHT A FISH!), canoeing, hiking, berry picking, tandem biking, snake catching, star tripping, SO MUCH FOOD, tan lines, bridge jumping (I didn't jump though), tube wars and just lots and lots of good memories. Natalie and I also slept IN A TREE HOUSE. No joke! I'm so grateful for the opportunity to go to Idaho and that Natalie even invited me! I hope we get to go next year ;)

My fish I caught :)

RAGNAR!

Some may call me crazy but... I did it! I finished Ragnar!!! For those of you who don't know what Ragnar Relay is, its a 200 mile relay race over 2 days and the 200 miles is split between 12 people, each given 3 times to run! I was runner #5. I was supposed to only run 18.4 miles total but plans changed because my mom busted her ankle so I gave her my last run which was 4.5 miles and I took hers which was 8.1!! So I actually ran 22 miles... oh boy. So I had a 5.8 miler, 8.1 and 8.1!! It was insanely fun, I realized I'm still way afraid of the dark BUT I beat my PR!! I was running 9:30 milers! I cannot wait to do this again next year! I am so glad I am in such great shape for this because I would've never imagined doing this a year ago... Go Team, WILL RUN FOR DONUTS!!!!

Anyone can be a runner I promise you that much. Ragnar taught me to push myself to limits I thought I couldn't go to. Being healthy feels so good and I hope everyone wants to feel it too! Get out there, get healthy and get happy. I promise you, that is something you will NOT regret.
