PS

Amber is one of the blogging experts I referred to in my first entry. I love her, and am so happy to have the chance to see her every day! I've learned a whole lot from her already, and I'm excited to see what the rest of the semester brings!

Fall is here!

People have been telling me for months I should join the blogging community-- I'm happy to report that I finally heeded their advice! I don't really know what I'm doing yet, but hopefully I'll figure it out in time. I have plenty of great blogging examples to look to :)

This school semester has been pretty great so far. I've had the opportunity to learn a lot in school, and create many fun memories at the same time. First things first, here are my five great roommates: Taisha, Valerie, Katherine, Katie, and Amber. I love them all, and am glad that we all live here together.

Another great friend, a neighbor rather than roommate, is Kari. We took this picture last night on our way home from visiting one of our other neighbors:

One of my favorite aspects of living in college apartments is always having somebody close by to play with. I still have a lot of neighbors to meet and get to know, but all the ones I do know are fantastic!

My Grandparents have a summer home several hours south of me, and I had the opportunity to visit them a few weeks ago. We had a great time playing in the mountains, and I even had a chance to hand-feed a deer!

Other highlights: Last week my friends Lahni and Michelle came to visit me from out of state. They are very good friends of mine from the community college I attended, and I was thrilled to see them. Lahni was my roommate my freshman year. Our other roommates, Marissa, lives with her husband about thirty minutes north of me, so she also came down to visit last week. Here's us in my room:

Also, the first weekend in October, General Conference weekend, my friends Becky and Katie came up to visit Amber and I. Becky and I were all over the place the whole weekend; we had the opportunity to attend the first session of conference, which was really amazing. I miss those girls, and am excited for the chance to see them at Christmas time!

Then, this last weekend, I went to Colorado with my friend Chalet and her husband Justin. They recently got married in August. We had a lot of fun visiting Justin's family; it was the first time I'd ever been to Colorado except to visit Four Corners about ten years ago, and I loved it so much. Chalet is a really great friend of mine, and it was great hanging out with her!

Sadly, I don't have any pictures of either of those weekends, but both were so fun.

I can hardly believe that the semester is half over. I've learned a lot already, but feel like there is still so much to be learned between now and December 19th when the semester is over. I'm looking forward to spending the holidays with my family, and beginning a new adventure after that. In the mean time, I hope to make the time to blog about my college experiences. Thanks for stopping by!
