.:Update Update Update:.

This has been a crazy fun week! Let me give you a quick recap.

SUNDAY:

Chelsi and I went to the park and met Brando there and played some frisbee (threw the frisbee around) and took some great... ok they were mostly not great pictures. Then we decided to make brownie waffles... didn't work so well but still delicious!

MONDAY:

Chelsi and I went to the car wash! We loved it! Like being a kid again and Chelsi's car looked beautiful. Then we came home and skipped FHE. We all hid up in my and Dawna's room until the coast was clear. Then Dawner, Cello and I road our bicycles to The Cocoa Bean and got some delicious peach frappes. Then Sky high came over and made a bowtie and also attempted to teach me how to tie one... not a success.

TUESDAY:

Was a lame day. Everyone had to work... so I sat around doing nothing... my life = lame without Cello and Dawner.

WEDNESDAY: Everyone worked again so I patiently waited for my friends to get home from work.

THURSDAY:

Party! Chelsi didn't have to work! Woo Hoo! We attempted to go bridge jumping in the middle of the night which... we all chickened out. The water was moving very fast and it was dark... not a good combo. So then we went on a walk along the river and as we were walking we hear a big splash and I took off running which in turn made everyone else run, except poor little taylor... he wasn't wearing shoes and the road was very rocky... we got to the car and picked tay tay up and then we went to investigate the noise from the safety of our car... and eventually turned around instead... we drove home and had some scares... mostly just me screaming(literally screaming) at random things. Truth or truth was our game of the night and let's just say there are no secrets between us.

FRIDAY:

Baby Grant came to visit! We went to the farmers market and the Sand dunes! Dawner, Cello and I went to the Rexburg Farmers Market and stalked to corn boys as per usual. Then I changed Dawner's tire for her. I am pro. Then Dawner, Cello, Tay Tay, Noc, BBlake, Baby Grant and I had a bonfire! So much fun! We jumped over the fire, roasted mallows and took pics! Also Dawner and I went and jumped off the dunes! We are the only fun ones. YAY!

SATURDAY:

Bridge Jumping. We had lots of fun and some very scary times... for me at least. When i jumped off I got caught in the current, and couldn't get out and kept trying to get to the shore and i tried to stand up but the rocks were slippery and the water was too strong. Finally the water pushed me into a little eddy and i was able to climb out. SCARIEST thing ever! I almost died, for real. Definitely will not being doing that again soon. then we got ice cream, and just hung out like cool kids.

SUNDAY:

I spoke in church and did amazing. then we hiked "our" mountain. It was soo great! It was a really fun hike, pretty tough but fun! At the top Dawner, Cello, Tay Tay and I had a little picnic and chatted and had a great time. Speaking only in our accents of course! We are the best! Later we set up the hammock between a tree and my truck and chilled out there the rest of the night. We are the best!

It was one of my favorite weeks ever and it makes me really miss this place already. I will miss you Cello and Dawner and even Tay Tay.

Now people. I am tired of getting more text messages from facebook than from real people. It's not cool and makes me sad. I think ya'll should fix that for me...mmmm kay?

Peace&Blessings

.:all good things must come to an end:.

My final semester here at BYU-Idaho is winding down. I am excited and scared at the same time. Making new friends is scary! I like to think I am a fairly friendly person and that I have a great personality so it should be pretty easy right?

I am going to miss the people here though. For example Chelsi.
Oh Cello. We have been roommates forever and now I am abandoning you. Please forgive me. You are my most favorite. We have made some great memories and I look forward to the future when we marry hot twin brothers and have kids all the same ages! Life will be fantastic. We can teach at the same school and be everyone's favorite teachers and we will have the same last name so it will be fantastic! Haha... someday!

Dawner. You are awesome. Not only am I leaving you, but you are leaving me. So it's fair right? You have been one of the greatest friends a girl could ask for. Me you and Chels have done some crazy great things!! What am I gonna do with out you and your amazing southern accent to complement mine? It's like my world will end. I hope we stay in touch.

Oh Nocle. It looks like I am never getting rid of you now. ;) I am so incredibly happy that my plan worked! haha. There is not a person in this world that I would want my brother to marry other than you! You are so beautiful and seriously so nice and my family could use a heavy dose of both! I love you so much and am so excited to be Aunt Lissa to your kids one day!!

Emma Rae. I am going to miss you. But no worries. I will still run baby names by you of course. And as soon as you have children I am coming to visit it ASAP!!! You always make me so happy and give the greatest advice! Being one of my only married friends I know straight where to go to get relationship advice! I hope to continue to seek your advice in the future.

To all of my family. You are never getting rid of me. I can't wait to be closer to you! It's goin be fun!!

To my friends I met recently. I am sad at our timing. Thanks for spending time with me even though I know you couldn't resisit me. :) We had some great times while it lasted and I promise to visit. Please don't forget me and keep in contact. You know who you are.

LeAndra Ruth Lee. So soon I will be able to visit more often and be a bigger part of your life. You helped me through so much and I owe you big time for that. Someday our kids are going to be best friends just like us. I love you girl!

Well, I guess in just a few short days I will be starting a whole new adventure! Wish me luck! I am going to need it!

Peace&Blessings.

Oh the fun I have had this semester. I had some really great roommates and met some really great people. I don't know if I can handle starting over...

Here are some pictures of us celebrating Dawn'a day of birth.

We love to party.

Chelsi is so gorgeous!

I like to pose with traffic cones.

As you can see we also love to document our adventures. please enjoy!

.:Hot Dang:.

Well good news everyone! My freshman fifteen is finally gone! And can I tell you I feel great! I am ready to get toned now! Man I am gonna be sexy haha.

This semester is coming to a close and I am sad to see it go. I have met some incredible people and had some amazing adventures with my friends! Now on to a new adventure and I am so nervous. What if I don't find any new friends at BSU?? I am not exactly the most conversation savvy person in the world. I haven't had to find all new friends in sooo long! I am tempted to just stay in

Rexburg and figure something out here... but that probably won't happen.

Blake and Nicole are getting married sooo soon! I can't believe it! I am so excited to have her as a part of our family! It's gonna be soo fun!!

.:FUNNIEST PRANK I HAVE EVER PULLED OFF:.

So here's what happened.

We were on our way home from FHE in Idaho Falls and stopped to get gas. Dawna got out to clean the windshield. I thought up a brilliant plan. I was going to crawl through the seats and hide in the trunk and Chelsi was going to drive away like she left me. And that is exactly what we did.

At first Dawna thought it was gonna be a pretty funny little thing until Chelsi just kept driving away. And then she started getting worried. I sent her a text message and said, "did you guys leave me?" and she replied, "oh... crap" so I replied you guys are d bags. Then Chelsi came back to the gas station to get me. At this point I had started to crawl out of the back which Dawna failed to notice. So I just kind of sat there and she called me wondering where I was. So I answered and she turned around and screamed. I would call this a success!

.:welcome to the family nicole ann:.

Ok ok... they aren't married yet! But congrats to my brother and my friend Nicole! You are getting married!! I am so excited and happy for you guys!! Who would have thought that my brother and my roommate would get married? Well I sure hoped for it and now it's really happening!

It seems like everyone is getting married these days. Seriously every other post on my facebook is about someone who just got engaged or married. If it's not someone getting married it's someone who is having a baby.

And what am I doing with my life... nothing. I am not married, I am not pregnant, I am not even dating anyone. Ok I am a full time student and I try to work hard in my classes, but sometimes I would like to have a boyfriend, is that too much to ask for? I am a reasonably attractive girl, who loves sports and the outdoors. What more do they want?

I guess for now I will be complacent with my glorious single life... but if you know anybody who is single and looking I am ready to be found... haha

.:It was nice growing up with someone like you - someone to lean on, someone to count on... someone to tell on:.

Today my little brother left to serve a two year mission. It definitely is a bittersweet day for everyone in my family. It hasn't even been a day yet and I miss him. I know that he is going to be an amazing missionary and will be watched over but that doesn't mean I can't miss him.

We have always been a close family. My brothers were and always will be there for me no matter how far they may be. I know that Devin will always be my baby brother that took care of me at our new school. Luckily for me I have two other brothers here who will take care of me.

Devin and I had many adventures together. Let's just consider them on hold for the next two years. I am sad that I didn't take advantage of the time that I had with him. Instead of living at home I chose to live in Rexburg. I had fun but it makes me sad that I didn't take advantage of the time that Devin and I had left.

Family trips will not be the same, but we will make the best of them. I know that he would want us to have fun. I just can't believe he is so grown up. It seems like just yesterday we moved to Parma and I was a senior in high school and he was the baby sophomore that had to take care of me.

I know that you are going to be an amazing missionary Devin. I am so proud of your decision to serve the Lord so willingly. I know that he will take care of you just like you were so willing to take care of your sisters. Thank you for being the amazing example that you are. You have taught me so much and I know that each one of our siblings is proud of you. I love you so much baby brother!
