Well i feel like I should at least do a quick update before I get to the good news since most of you probably have heard it already and its been a while since I have done this. (sorry Aunt Jonna ;))
So... Valentine's day weekend we had Em's little sister here and that was tons of fun! We got a big group together to go the tumbling gym here in Provo then had a little nachos party after that which was a blast as well of course! Sunday night we had tons of fun with Dinner group and Monday we saw Dear John and I cried a lot. haha then it was back to work and I spent about 3 days and lots of stress studying for my humanities midterm that I took last Wednesday. But it was so worth it! Because that night Mom flew in from CA to go surprise our family up in Idaho the next afternoon :D
We drove up after my Thursday and my Aunt was pretty shocked! Definitely a successful surprise!On Friday I went to my first wrestling tournament and watched Gavin do his thing which was definitely fun! That was followed by a fun little get together with a bunch of the little ones, those crazy little balls of energy!Saturday was a fun and relaxing lazy day. We hung around the house in the morning just visiting and stuff. Then that afternoon Garin and Gavin took me shooting and I was happy to discover I wasn't absolutely terrible! haha seeing how my targets don't usually move like that, and my guns usually only have little bbs in them it was an accomplishment just to be able to say I didn't shoot anything I wasn't supposed to! haha ;) It was tons of fun! and we even got to catch the last bit of the BYU basketball game afterward too! haha then it was a pizza movie night and Geoff came up from school for the night and next day! yay! :D Sunday was awesome as well, we went to church in the morning then had some visitors before heading out to Rexburg for diner and seeing Aunt Ruth on the way! Then we ate TONS of good food and got to hang out with every one of my Aunts and Uncles! :D It was sooo good to see everybody and I have to say our family has all of the best cooks I know it it. We had enough food to feed a small army there! Such a great night <3 I love them all SO SO MUCH!!! I wish we got to do that more often because its the best :D But then came Monday morning :( and I had to go back to school and reality. Soo wasn't ready yet! haha But I did receive some pretty awesome news on the way back!
I WAS ACCEPTED TO MY LONDON STUDY ABROAD!! haha :D It seemed like every email I got was a let down because I was hoping it'd be the one and then it finally came and I didn't even notice for a couple of hours! Then I almost made my mom wreck the car when I finally did read it! But I'm so excited! It'll be a great summer! It doesn't even feel real yet as I go through all the paperwork for it and stuff! But definitely going! Craziness!!!! Now I have to try and focus on school when all I really want to do is go back up to Idaho and have fun with all my family until its time for London! Thats so much more fun than school! But no, its back to studying for me! Gotta keep up I guess! haha But yeah thats life at the moment! Sorry I don't have any pictures to put up right now cuz I only took a few from this weekend and they're not uploaded yet! But i'll get on that soon I promise! love you all! <3
Stay Smiling! :D
Congrats congrats! I'm so excited for you to do the London Study Abroad! One of my good friends in college did it and LOVED it :) Also...I need your cell number. If you ever want to "get away" you're more than welcome to come our direction! We're home pretty much home most of the day and we'd love to see you sometime--maybe making cookies or for dinner or whatever. Anyway, super excited for you!
ReplyDeleteIt was so nice to be able to kind chatch up on Sunday. It was such a crazy day because we haven't been together like that for a long time...I was trying to catch up with everyone, and didn't get to say much! Does that make any since? I wish that I would have know though that you were coming, we could have hung out a little more. I just love being around you. You are always so happy and SMILING!!!
ReplyDeleteCONGRATS on LONDON. I will admitt that I am extremely jealous. What a fantastic experience you will have. It is just wonderful. I hope that you continue to blog, so I can live it with you!!! Love you!
