FHE

I dont know if i already mentioned but my calling for my ward is an FHE leader over my group. Theres one guy and one girl! When i first got the calling i was like wow they must have nothing else to give me but after last night i realized that this actually can be an important calling and i should start taking it more seriuosly...


anyway so last night me and my husband Devin (the fhe guy leader...were known as the mom and dad lol) decided to do some night games...so we first met outside on the grass near our apartments and i gave a little spiritual thought about the war chapters trying to get everyone in the mood and we sang a hymn that went along with that...then we went to the gardens were we played commando and capture the flag and it was a blast!! Everyone for the most part enjoyed it and kept saying how we needed to do it again! I thought id be really fun to get into it so i went to walgreens and bought some black makeup and stuff and we all painted our faces a little and it was just fun....we all got really into it! anyway here are some pictures of the night!

This girl was so excited! she said that this semesters FHE is so much better then her last...that made me feel successful in a way! lol

this is me and my roomate
this is the most pretty sunset like ever!! lol and then thats my group minus two girls!! my "husbands" the one in the Camo

knowing what to do

This past weekend i hung out with a boy that i fell head over heels for in like 2 seconds... it just felt natural i loved talking to him and just being with him.... then a weird thing happened where i just felt like he wasnt the one...lol now i know your probably thinking thats a little fast to be thinking about that stuff but its the truth. Anyway so when he asked if i wanted to be his girl friend i had to tell him no. It was the hardest thing because i kept thinking how could something this good and perfect be so wrong... the Lords trying to move me in a direction and right now im not to sure what or where it is but im just trying to do my best to listen to him. Ive cried really hard today several times but deep down i knew it was what i was supposed to do....
Who ever said life was easy is completely wronge...he was an amazing guy and whatever girl gets him is one lucky little thang :)

BIG news

So Byu-Idaho has two dance companys... Dance alliance is the traveling one and probably more known, and then theres the collegiate dance company i guess you call it that is made up of 3 teams... the ballroom, the world dancers, and the contemporary dancers. And the collegiate dancers have try outs ever semester...and so i thought it would just be a good experience to try out... i had no thought of actually making it, i just wanted to see how tryouts worked here and stuff like that... So i went to try outs this last friday night (yesterday) and there were only 20 people there...lol its summer so ya...and they took 10 of us...and i just happened to be one of the lucky 10!!! I mean i know its not the big company but its still a company and we do work shops during the year so im gonna be able to keep my teaching skills up to par and we have a big performance at the end of june where were doing some really cool dances!! (for tryouts we learned some of the dances) so im way excited!!! a little overwhelmed because i dont know how im gonna make that work with all my school stuff...but ill find a way... anyway thats my big news for the weekend!!
I also went to the welcome back dance here at school... lol at first is started out like a stake dance and i was so ready to leave...but in the end it was fun... so ya...anyway i got loads of homework to do before sunday...

Cell Phones

I dont think ive ever been more thankful for my cell phone as i have this past week!! Being away from home hasnt been easy and school and the social isnt going as easily as i thought either and knowing my parents or any other family member is only a phone call away has been sooooo nice!! ive talked to my parents ATLEAST everyday! chayse and charlotte have called several times, which has been super nice since ive needed to unload some stuff lol and then perry and julianna and mckell...its just nice to know that you can be miles apart and yet in several seconds you can be talking like their standing right next to you! i LOVE my cell phone!

First Night

im officially alone in Rexburg idaho...i had a couple sad surprises last night one being that i cant log into facebook while im on campus...so goodbye facebook till im back home in august...but i guess it might be a good thing in some way.
It was hard saying goodbye to my parents last night.. way sad but ive always been very independent so im way excited to be on my own and experience life by myself.
i just got back from my ward... i really like the Bishopric...they seem like really nice spiritual giants and for the most part all the girls in my ward are super friendly...some a little to much... lol but i think im gonna enjoy this ward... and about the boys...most look older like post mission but we have a few freshman and some decent lookin guys...im not gonna say anyone really caught my eye but i think theyll be fun to hang out with!
Im officailly all unpacked but it just doesnt feel like home...but ill get use to it! i showered last night... i was really worried id have a horrible one, i hate horrible showers lol but it was actually very nice... but then when i walked out and my roommate was making-out with her boyfriend that was a little awkward LOL
anyway im super content right now eating my spaghetti-o's and having some milk...im heading over to kendras tonight for dinner then me and my roommates ( i only have 2 by the way...one beds empty) are heading to the satdium where they all sing hymns every sunday night...sounds kinda cool! so ya! lol
Here are some pics of me getting up here... my little road trip!
