pics and ish
i found this picture on facebook--i think one of Thayne's friends had it posted-and i just fell in love with the amazing colors and contrasts and the light piercing the sky and everything. had to share it--even though it wasn't mine in the first place.

PART ONE
so im sure every one's been curious. and i've finally decided to share. my life.
after moving, i had summer break. dads surgery, recovery, moms ish and a trip to indiana {pics to come later}. lots more happened but as i am a college student im not resposible for remembering anything when the semester isnt in session. therefore blanks have been drawn.
my house is nothing special from the outside so i wont be posting pics of it but i do LOVE LOVE LOVE my roommates. technically it isnt my first time living with non-relatives but katie pretty much counted as a sister as far as i was concered so it FEELS like the first time. i have been deeply blessed with these girls. they constantly remind me that im a bad influence on them because i so encourage openness and honesty. we talk about everything and just finished a competition on who could go without shaving their legs for the longest. michelle won. i lost by the second day. just couldnt do it. they save me from uncontrollable situations often and i pay it forward by saving them from bugs and other critters we happen to find. its a win win.
school is tougher this year but only bc my intensity is stablizing. my schedule is as follows:
monday, wednesday and friday:
8am-8:50 Nutrition
9am-9:50 Intro to Sociology
tuesday and thursday:
7am-8:20 American Civilizations
8:30-9:50 Intermediate writing: Shakespeare and the Rennesance
monday-friday:
11am-2:30pm work at the Post-High school
so yeah--thats that. so far grades are still good but the "early to bed, early to rise" rule is absolutley breaking me! im trying and im trying had but that doesnt always cut it.
what else can i blabber on about?
boys.
pretty much nonexistant right now. got some small crushes on other classmates but mostly i've been focusing my spare energy on the friends i already have. we've been needing each other pretty regularly.
panda express has become my new shrink. seriously, ill call megan and we will go to panda. we both order the same thing everytime and we talk while we eat. after we're done we drive around town {mostly the back routes from cedar to enoch} and sing loudly to random music while the wind flows through our hair and cleanses our souls of he negative energy we were harboring.
speaking of cleansing my soul, i have been writing some pretty intense things lately. i can include some of that later, if peeps ask for it.
MORE LATER--LOVE YOU GUYS

The Exodus (part one)
Trudi and I are moving.
She has decided to move to Washington state in a little city called Cashmere. And I will be moving just one or two neighborhoods over from where I am right now. Mom and Dad came into town yesterday and are going to be staying in Hatch while they help us out. Trudi will be moving most of her stuff to Hatch for storage and then renting a truck and making the journey up to Washington with Trayci and Mom. They will bring the truck back down for her. And most of this will be happening Tuesday-Thursday.
We will be very sad to leave this house that we love so much. After all Trudi went to get in here, its only an act of God that would make her move away from it. Most of her friends {and especially the older women in her ward} are very sad to see her leave the area.
As for me, finals are all this week and I'm so ready for the semester to be over. Only one more month of work at the high school till the summer is official. I'm gonna be working at a little antique store about 50 yards from my new residence (thanks mostly to Taneil and her amazing connections). SO! I'm done typing. Back to packing or writing papers, doing dishes or folding laundry. ...I think I feel my third wind coming on...or is this the fourth one?
