Rexburg

Ok, So this weekend Rachel and I drove to Rexburg to see Keely. oh my goodness i have had fun. :)
We left Friday night. Rachel and I stopped in Pocatello at a McDonalds. It was the creepiest little town I've ever been in. It was like 9:30 and very foggy. we passed a cemetery and thought we were going to die. it was terifying. Then we got to Rexburg around 10:15ish. Keely met up with us and we went to this dance party over by the K-mart... yes you heard me right... over by the K-mart. It was A LOT of fun. I enjoyed dancing the night away with Keely and Rachel. Watching Rachel shut down guys was the best. OH! and a black guy told me i was a good dancer! highlight of my night... Then we went back to Keely's apartment and talked until the wee hours of the morning.
Saturday we slept in which was GREAT! Rachel and Keely did homework and I just chilled. That afternoon we went to Idaho Falls or as Keely called it "I-F" :) We saw The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. It was a long but really good movie. Then we went shopping. FUNNIEST THING EVER- We were at Down East and there was a woman who called her kid over to her... GUESS HIS NAME... Korihor... She named her child Korihor... like the Anti-Christ. i didn't want to believe her. We got out of the store and were laughing so hard... hillarious. Then we went to ihop. yum! Once we got back to Provo we went to a house party over "on college" lol. aparently Rexburg is a small enough town that if there is a party everyone knows about it and everyone is there. It was packed. Fun for about an hour and a half and then we were out of there.
Sunday: Church this morning. it was really good. Then a 2 hour nap. :) We went to Keely's neighbors for dinner- mmmm... ham. We have played pit and mancala and we are currently watching Emperor's New Groove for the second time today. :) yay.
I go back to Provo tomorrow and I don't want to. It means i have to go back to normal life... shoot. work and school. I've had fun this weekend and i'm hoping that I can learn to balance more fun with school this semester.
What have you done with your holiday weekend?

A New Semester

ok guys, thanks for commenting on my last post... yeah right. i even asked a question and not one of you commented! and i also know that more than just Kristen reads it now too.
Anyway, I figured it was time for an update. I'm back in provo and there is snow everywhere... yuck. it took probably 3 hours to get to provo from the airport monday due to snow and rush hour. considering it's only supposed to be like a 40 minute drive that sucks. Thanks Brian for coming to get me. I appreciate all the extra time you took.
School has started and i think i'm going to have a hard semester. I have 2 psych classes that are about "testing and research methods" ie a lot of boring stuff that won't keep my attention. that sucks. i'm really going to have to try to pay attention. we also get to write lots of fun papers for those classes. joy. My other classes should be fun though. Its only the second week of school and my religion teacher is already giving us a day off. score! :)
ok so over break Rachel, James and I made sugar cookies and decorated them...

Rachel was really excited about that...

Then we got in a flour fight...

Oh and i can't help but put up james's picture that he took "for his myspace page" How great is this?

Happy New Year's Moments

So for some reason I get pretty sentimental on New Years. Tonight I stayed at home and my parents had some people over... I love the moments after the count down and the ball dropping. Kids blow horns and pop poppers. Couples kiss. friends and family hug and smile. I love to just sit back and watch it all happen. people are happy in that small moment. nothing matters but to be with the people you love. People are starting with a new beginning. a clean slate. I think it's a great idea.
I decided this year there are some things i would like to improve.
1. Less self pity. I need to be concerned with others and not myself. besides a girl never got what she truly wanted by moping about.
2. Judging by how much spell check had to help me out in that last sentence, i need to learn to spell.
3. Be a healthier person. take this lower sugar diet seriously and just get in some mild exercise.
4. Don't be so obsessive. Just be happy in the moment and realize nothing is in your control.
5. Love more. Love the people around me and don't live in a hardened shell.
I just need to learn to be happy with the person i am and not judge myself so harshly and be an open, happy person.
So being the stereotypical person i am, I am listening to Auld Lang Syne over and over again tonight. Go figure...
Whats your favorite thing about the New Year? and do you have any resolutions you intend to keep??
