School...

School has been so much harder this semester than last semester. Last semester I had all relatively easy classes. This is not the case this semester. I am taking 17 credits of hard classes! Literally all of my time is spent either doing homework and studying, or church responsibilities. I am pretty much burned out haha! It is now go time in nearly all of my classes. Microbiology and Planetary Science are kicking my butt but I am still doing okay. My goal is not to fail any of my classes haha! I don't think that I am close to failing in any of them as long as I don't do any worse that I have been doing.

Overall I have really enjoyed school down here and living on my own. The only thing that I surprisingly have missed is working. I miss earning money haha! I have not been struggling because of my very generous Grandma Mary, but I have had to be more careful than if I was working. It has made me feel very grown up to have to live on a budget!

In short, I am very excited for spring break next weekend and what a glorious break from school it will be!

Hope everything is well!

Airsoft, glasses and Maks Birthday

Well I have not posted in a little bit. Life here is crazy, but good. I am still loving it! I am still serving as first councilor in my Elders Quorum presidency, and so that is keeping me very busy. I have finally got to the point with my calling that I feel comfortable with it and am starting to enjoy it. School is so hard and literally requires all of my time, but I am getting through it.

Alex one of my new roommates brought some airsoft guns and in short, we all ended up buying some to defend ourselves. Our apt and bodies have suffered a little haha!

Here is a picture of our blinds

Another new thing that I got was glasses. I got them last Friday, on Saturday Kiley Price was baptized and I was so surprised how many people had to take double takes to recognize me! Kiley's baptism was such a great experience! She is so cute! It was funny, Robyn told me that when Kiley went in for her Bishops interview the bishop asked her why she wanted to get baptized and she said " Because I want to swim in that pool!" I also got the opportunity to stand in the circle to help confirm her and that was really special to me.

Here is a picture of me with my glasses

Makena's birthday was on Sunday but we celebrated it Saturday night. We went to Kiley's baptism in the morning and then one of Makena's co-workers got sick so she had to go into work till 5. It was at this time that I went to go pick up her birthday present. I had been looking at necklaces on the Nordstrom website and found one that I wanted to get her, however just as I was leaving to go to Nordstrom my dad was like you should call before you go just to make sure it's there. So I called and of course it wasn't there so I called all of the Nordstrom's in Utah and none of them had it so I was like "oh no!" So the following 3 hours were spent at the University Mall looking at jewelry. But I finally found a different one that I really liked at Nordstrom. Then at 5:30 we went to dinner with her family at Macaroni Grill. She then wanted to watch a movie so we went and rented Red Eye, and I learned that a Red Eye is not a physical red eye haha! That was pretty much my weekend!

Hope everything is well!

Institute Dance

Well this weekend Makena came down to spend the weekend here in Cedar. So last night we went out on the town haha, not really, we just went to dinner a formal institute dance and then we went and saw Jumper. We had a lot of fun! We went with two other couples that were way funny! All but one of them were from Vernal, so lets just say they were really funny! We went with my roommate Alex, his girlfriend, and then his very red-neck friend James. James went with one of my other really good friends Kim. I really wish I had some red-neck friends because they are so funny!

here are a couple picture of last night

Apparently we only know one pose so we just had the camera zoom
in so it looks different

Hope everything is well!

Mike Moon

Tonight I got invited to Mike Moons house for dinner. Mike Moon is a very funny guy, last week I randomly ran into him and he was like, "Would you like to come to dinner on Wed?" I could not turn down a free dinner so I accepted. When we got there dinner was not quite ready so he said that we could play wii. He was pretty good at it haha! He surprised me by how cocky he was. He creamed Nate and I at the wii! The meal was really good, we had an Italian dish. It was a fun night!

As for an update for the rest of school. I am so incredibly busy that I have not had much time to just hang out. I am doing fairly well in my classes. They are very tough this semester. I have a little work to do in Microbiology but I am passing haha. I am doing excellent in English, Math, Planetary Science, and History. History is definitely my strong point this semester followed closely by Math surprisingly.

As for a relationship update, I am still dating Makena.... That is all on that update haha!

I hope everything is well with everyone!
