Round One.

End of first semester done, say what? I can't believe how incredibly fast it went. I feel as though it was one of the most momentus and challenging transitions in my life thus far, and of course it continues on. And ya know what? I LOVE IT. Sometimes, I stop and think to myself, What the heck am I doing here? This is absolutely nutso. It's kinda surreal as I reflect on my current life, day to day, as I thought this time would never come or happen as such. And thats the thing it just happens. Not necessarily a warning comes with it. It just HAPPENS.

Coming to college is truly a time when you come to terms with exactly who you are and really rely on exactly what you believe every second of every day. There have been times this semester that have been incredibly difficult, and this may sound odd, but I have had to learn how to enjoy and love the difficult. Love the opportunity to pull myself out of those difficult challenges, Love the lessons I was taught, Love and grow closer with those around me during those challenges.

As of right now, I am sitting in the Harold B. Lee Library with my most diligent friend Rachel Udall, studying for finals. She is the most wonderful example to me, especially considering she is studying right now as I am blogging my little heart out...hahaha what you ya know...I got distracted. I am really hoping they go well and am super stoked for them. A hot date with the HBLL on Friday Night is whats up right now. Nerdy? YES. Fantastic? I THINK SO.

I can't wait for next semester as it holds many new learning experiences (including how to accept the snow into my life.) As of now I am still ignoring the lovely winter fastly approaching...why yes I did wear capris and sandals yesterday. You best believe it. I am super stoked for my classes, as they will hopefully help me to decide on a major and start jet-settin' towards the future. Ain't Life Wonderful. And as is the CHRISTmas season. It truly is a time we can reflect on our Savior and feel of his and our Fathers love greater than ever. Home in 6 dayss!

ding. Ding. Ding. Round 1 is just about finished. And I survived :]

DAY 4:

LACK-OF-FOCUS.

Exhibit A: Yes this was in the HBLL were normally people study...NOT I :]

This would be A HABIT I WISH I DIDN'T HAVE.

MM of the Week.

I love the message of this times ten thousand! This perspective towards life makes it so much easier to focus on eternal perspective and our wonderous purpose and plan for life, that if we remain faithful we can return in celestial glory to live with our Heavenly Father and Savior. Such a beautiful and happy plan is his, and so should we be! Mormon message of the week. :]

DAY 3:

DARYN KAYE FRISCHKNECT

Meet Dee. D. Frisch. She is currently a Utah State AGGIE, and takin it by storm. It is the perfect school for her. She is one of those people that is always up for a good time, and spontaneous like no other. Even though we are only 2 hours or so apart, I really miss her. She is stronger than most anyone I know and just plain CRAZY. She taught me to not worry so much a not be afraid to try new things, cause she sure isn't. :] I LOVE HER.

thumb. thumb.

Thumbs really are funny little guys, and recently I am sure grateful for them. They really just don't get enough credit in my opinion. At FHE on Monday night I played a sweet game, "wally-ball" (volleyball in a racket-ball court) with my awesome college family. I wouldn't be typical me unless I came out of it with an injury, and boy did I. I thought it was just jammed so I just let it be for the following day. The swelling didn't stop, so my friend laurel took me to the health center to get it checked out and maybe a little brace to support it. A couple x-rays later and...not only did I end up breaking it but I ended up needing to have reconstructive surgery. They wanted to do surgery the next day, but I was coming home that next day and didn't want me to travel after the operation, so for now I am in a brace until the Tuesday after Thanksgiving! I am so grateful it isn't my right thumb, or all of my fingers, or an eye or something. And after all i have taken on some pretty sweet nicknames because of it, such as THE CLAW & Bionic Woman. It has been quite the funny little adventure realizing how much I use my thumbs...So, I challenge you all today to think of all the things you can do because of those beautiful thumbs of yours. From experience, i can tell you the top ten of these things include...call them "Rules of Thumbs" if you will... :]

1. Opening things (water bottles, ranch dip, doors, Ibuprofen bottles, etc.)
2. Tying your shoes.
3. Picking up and Holding objects.
4. Buttoning your pants.
5. Unzipping your backpack.
6. Washing your hair//Shaving
7. Texting...
8.Dancing Properly (it is just heart-breakingly different with the loss of a filangie.)
9. Putting your hair in a pony-tail// doing hair.
10.And most importantly, DOUBLE THUMBS-UP.

I'm just grateful for my little thumbs, and can't wait to have both of them back in action together!

No more double thumbs-up or wicked sweet left hand high-fives for me for a while...dang it.

Ballin.

Emery. Jackson emery. Number 4. It just simply doesn't get much better than this my friends. After one game I already have him pegged as my all star for the season. Love you Jimmer, but Emery, he's just got my heart. BYU Basketball is FINALLY up and running and I couldn't be loving it anymore! Yesterday night was the home opener against Fresno State, or as the score board had it FRESNO ST, and for some reason my brain interpreted it as FreSNOT and i died of laughter!! The student section was a total white out. It was one of the most awesome experiences ever. I also scored a super sweet FREE "Y" shirt to wear to the game earlier in the week and got a super sweet pompom at the game that made me mone happy woman. And it really made me miss high school...all the spirit and crazy things we did. They started playing techno music and we all went wild, throwing our pom-poms all up in the air. I can't even describe the rest of it from there...besides AWESOME! Huge white sheets dropped from the center of the arena and all the lights went out. they projected a pump up season kick off video that was nothing but epic- "ARE YOU READY COUGARS. IT'S TIME." We all went crazy!! GEv from So You think You Can Dance was the half time preformance, along with BYU's version of the Harlem Globe Trotters! Hallelujiah for the start of an awesome season, and exciting games. LET DA GOOD TIMES ROLL. :]

Basketball is ma favorite sport. I like the way they dribble up and down the court.
but I really love football. It's really my favorite.

No, wait. Emery is my favorite! :]

LIFE CHANGING.

Once upon a time, four girls had took an adventure to SLC for a night out on the town. A night out to see LADY ANTEBELLUM that is!

November 2, 2010 was the day I officially fell in love with Lady Antebellum. Their Concert was my favorite concert i have ever been too. It was just fun, chill, and clean- and plus I went with best friends, so i guess the company wasn't to bad either. :] We had quite the experience, including an "awesome" drunk encounter, that made us laugh to tears. A middle aged woman and her daughter were just "Lookin' for a Good Time" and they sure had one, and made our experience all the more unforgettable. The mother thought that Jameo was my mom and kept talking to her about me, and got upset when I didn't dance along to the song. The daughter accidentally dunked Sar's hair in her beer a couple times, as they were standing behind us, and regretfully and slyly pulled it out. I watched the whole thing and about died of laughter. Sar really did almost die when I told her. Beer hair. hahaha We sang along all night long and got our country on. When the concert was over, we were all sad and the croud kept on cheerin. Before we knew it Lady A was back on the stage preforming the BEST 15 minute ENCORE EVER!

We left competely content and utterly deaf! Of course we got lost on our way back to Provo but I confindently sai it was totally worth it...i laughed and sang my guts out. We also had a nice little photo shoot before the concert started to sustain our own personal entertainment :

]No concert is a concert without the "SUPERSTAR"

Laur & Sar :]

look at mommacita GO!!

trying to resist the double chins of life....

And now for your listening pleasures...
