Back to school

Hey look, I'm posting! I got back to Provo on Wednesday and moved right into my new apartment. Becca and I had a good drive here, and it was really fun until Enrique Iglesias got stuck in the CD player. He's still there. Not that Enrique is all that bad, but I really only listen to him when I've listened to everything else in the CD case. Becca and I drove down to Provo through Heber City and Provo Canyon instead of I-15. It was a pretty drive, and I'm convinced that it was shorter, but that might just be because every other time I've made it to I-15 on this trip, it's been rush hour.

I love my new apartment. It feels so... new. Clean. Open. Light. All those things I was missing at my old apartment. And aparently my room mate is buying a used 65 inch tv tomorrow. Yeah, thats right. 65. Thats as tall as I am. Although right now I miss my friends at my old apartment. I went to their ward bonfire last night, and that was pretty fun. I went to my ward today, and really liked it. There are even a few familiar faces from the BC. My bishop is great, and I'm looking forward to talking to him this week. I met a boy who went to Jerusalem summer term, and was in brother Ostler's class. When he found out I was there, he asked to see my earrings because he knew they would be from Imahr, and they were. Lol. I've heard that this ward does dinner groups, and that is definitely a necessity. I love dinner group.

I have felt so popular this weekend. I went to a Jerusalem reunion in Salt Lake on Friday night, which I thought was in Provo, but I was wrong. I didn't leave until after midnight, but some of my friends offered to come back in my car so that I wouldnt fall asleep. Good thing too because I couldn't find the detour, and we were lost for a while. Saturday morning just after I woke up, Sadie called to invite me to a Nauvoo breakfast, and I got to see lots of my very favorite people. Saturday afternoon was the first homegame, and I sat with Sadie and saw a couple of other friends there. Saturday night I decided to go to the BC ward bonfire with my old room mates. Pretty sure I've never partied that much in a single weekend, and I may never again.

New Layout

So, I decided it was time for a change. I like green, and I like Niagara Falls, so this seemed like a good choice. It may change again if I find something I like more in the next few days. You may have noticed the lack of writing on my blog... that's because nothing has happened. Ok, not nothing, nothing, but nothing comparable to seeing the pyramids or reinacting Indiana Jones or seeing the sun set over jerusalem. But there has been lots of swimming going on and reading too. Lots of reading. Some babysitting, here and there. I'm crocheting a blanket for my friend who is having a baby this week. There may be a family trip to Kings Dominion in the not to distant future. Yesterday I was on my grandpa's boat, and we caught fish. Yes, I touched them. But there are no pictures. I haven't taken any pictures since I got back to America the beautiful. I'm really excited to get back to provo for my last year at BYU. This is theoretically the last time I will ever be moving to Provo, but who knows what the year brings. Becca and I head on our annual byu roadtrip on sunday the 24th, because we don't want to leave on the 25th. That's the only reason, basically. We want to go see Kristi in Minnesota, but Dad says no way. We'll see what we can do about that, but my hopes are not high. Sorry Kristi. Maybe you could come meet us somewhere? (like Nauvoo... which is only 2 hours out of the way, and not a whole day. Lol.) So anyway, that's my summer life post Jerusalem.
