SINCE NICK AND I ARE ONE OF THE ONLY COUPLES HERE WE HAVE HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO GO ON A TON OF DOUBLE DATES. WE ARE LIKE THE DOUBLE DATE COUPLE. WE SHOULD START CHARGING PEOPLE...

HERE ARE SOME OF MY FAVORITE DATE PHOTOS

MY NEW HOME

 I AM BLAMING MY NON-EXISTENCE IN THE BLOG WORLD THIS MONTH ON THIS ONE REASON. 

I HAVE RECENTLY MOVED AWAY FROM HOME...

YES THAT'S RIGHT I'M NOW AT COLLEGE! AND LIFE HAS BEEN BUSY LET ME TELL YOU. ITS BEEN HARD GETTING USED TO THE SCHEDULE AND TAKING CARE OF MY SELF BUT I AM GETTING USED TO IT QUICKLY. I FIND COMFORT IN THE FACT THAT MY PARENTS DECIDED TO GO GALLIVANTING OFF TO NEW YORK FOR A WEEK.NOW THAT THEY ARE EMPTY NESTERS THEY DESERVE SOME FUN, I GUESS. I AM LEARNING A LOT OF THINGS ALREADY ABOUT MYSELF AND ABOUT LIFE SKILLS THAT I HAVE BEEN LACKING. 

BASICALLY I LOVE IT HERE AT BYU- IDAHO I LOVE HOW EVERYTHING ACADEMIC IS MIXED WITH SPIRITUAL IMPORTANCE IT MAKES IT THAT MUCH EASIER TO APPLY IT TO MY LIFE. I LOVE HAVING DEVOTIONALS EVERY WEEK AND HAVING THE TEMPLE IN SIGHT EVERYWHERE I GO IT KIND OF REMINDS ME OF GOOD OLD MT. HOOD. 

I DEFINITELY MISS MY FAMILY A LOT. I MISS SEEING MY LITTLE DEAGEN AND ALL THE NEW THINGS HE COMES UP WITH EVERYDAY.  I MISS MY SISTERS AND BROTHERS. IT'S ESPECIALLY HARDER SINCE THIS SUMMER WE WERE TOGETHER ALL THE TIME. BUT I AM JUST 4 HOURS AWAY FROM MEGAN AND MY ANDERSON SISTERS AND I HAVE ALREADY PLANNED TRIPS UP TO UTAH FOR THE NEXT 4 WEEKENDS :).

HERE ARE SOME PICTURES OF MY NEW PLACE...
