Holy Goodness! It's been almost a year since I've posted. I suck! SOOOO much has happened in 2012 I can't believe it. Life has settled down enough that I feel confident enough to start posting regularly.
{I'm sure you're thinking: PSHHH... Yeah right hahah}
Well I'm going to try REALLY hard this go around at least.
I know I do this every year, but honestly I just want a place where I can just express what's going on in my crazy life and running through my head that I can share with people if/when they're interested and have to look back on in the future.
Having said that, I have A LOT of ground to cover...
Brief overview:
-Second Week of my second to last semester of college. {Senior baby!!}
-new apartment, new roomies, and I'm loving it!
-super easy class schedule, we're talking TWELVE WHOLE CREDITS oh yeah!
-I am a single lady, yes I called off the wedding of the century. {more on that later}
-My amazing not-so-little bro is on a plane to Peru as we speak.
-Mom is still in nursing school. {last semester!}
-My Daddy was in a pretty bad motorcycle accident on duty back in April and he's recovering quite well all things considered.
Ummm... I think that's all the big stuff. Still plodding along with my degree. Only 9 months left! I can't believe it. And I have absolutely NO IDEA what I'm going to do after. Just kind of crossing my fingers that something magical comes into my life in the meantime and I figure stuff out. I know that Heavenly Father has a plan though, so everything will work out, I just have to be patient.
In the meantime I'm just going to school, attending as many institute activities as I can, reading lots and just hanging out with whoever I can. Super exciting I know ;)

Update!
Sorry for the lack of photos guys... one of the setbacks of living without a camera :/ maybe for Christmas....
School is good, winding up my first semester. Everything has been awesome so far, just trying to stay focused in my final weeks and hammer out those pesky papers due in a few weeks.
I've been bonding with my singles ward and my FHE family, they're great <3 I feel like I'm just starting to fit in, but I still have tons of time.
Next semester should be great. I have a pretty great schedule, I'm bummed that I couldn't get my photo class in, but public speaking should still be fun. I'm taking and english class, Mat 125 (pre-calc), Spanish 102, Into to personality psychology, and public speaking.
For those of you that don't know, I am currently a Psychology major and a Photography minor. A camera-less photo minor, but so is life. haha
I'm really excitted about this weekend, I'm going to Six Flags Magic Mountain with Mason and another couple. It'll be my first time in Six Flags, can't wait!
Monday is Turkey butcher day, repeat from last year, I'm debating if I'll come home in time to help out or opt out? haha But I'm am looking forward to coming home next week. Nothing like going to college to make you miss home. :) Christmas break will be here before you know it.

Can you say CRAZY?!?!?!
What a week man! So much has happened, I figured I'd give you a little update
Tuesday
The stake was doing a blood drive, so I signed up. I've already tried to donate twice, but some complication always came up. First my veins were too 'shallow' and the tech was to 'callow' so she went right through my poor little vein, but not before she tried stabbing me four times. The second attmept, everything went smoothly, except on of the valves in the bag deactivated so oxygent got in and voided the sample, rendering it useless. So you can imagine that I would be a little nervous to try it again. Well... I got through the questions and all that jazz, I learned to always ask for a 'super stick', meaning that I get the supervisor to stick me, instead of the new, less experienced techs. I told her about my history, and she got that needle in! I was pleasantly surprised. It took twenty minutes, but everything went smoothly. I still have a gigantic bruise on the inside of my left arm, but I'm a finially blood donor!!!!
The week only got better from there! My best friend Veronica fell out of her chair and hit her head Wednesday night. Thursday, she was getting a headache, so she went to the health centr on campus, they weren't very helpful. I came over after class to keep an eye on her. But by 8, she was getting worse, so we took her to the ER. That was DEFINITELY an experience. We spent over four hours in there, not too bad in general I guess. While we were waiting we ended up befriending a homeless girl who likes to refer to herself as Gemni. It made for an interesting night. She asked to borrow my computer and that made for a very uncomfortable time, until the nurse was kind enought to kick her out. Well, after four hours, all Veronica's x-rays came out negative, so we went home. She has a concussion, but she's just fine. Defintely made for an exciting weekend though.
Friday was a fun day. After sleeping off one adventure, we prepared for another. We went mudbogging with Colleen, Veronica's roomate. That's was wicked. Nothng like Queen Creek, but it was fun getting lost in the forest. After that we came back to campus, dinner, then Game Night!!! We played Curses and Apples to Apples. Totally fun, then we finished off the night with ice cream and a movie.
On Saturday, we slept in yet again.(don't you just LOVE college? :D) We did a mini photoshoot on campus before catching a showing of The Proposal @ the Prochnow. Can't be a $3 movie and free popcorn and drinks. I'll try and post some of the pics from my friends camera later.
Sunday was even great. It was stake conference so I got to go with Mason. Great talks, virtue seemed to be the prevalen subject. But it all seemed to be necessary revelation. I somehow managed to get some laundry done in the chaos. Then home teaching, which was Just What I Needed. I finially got to meet the mormon girls in my building. Things have been kinda hard, getting into the ward and settling. But I met one girl named Emily. She's a freshman as well, but we are so totally the same. She's a Theater major and an art minor. All the things I wish I could be. We clicked instantly and subsequently started planning art and craft parties. :D! It was an answer to both our prayers. I am just so thrilled to finially find a new friend that shares all my passions as well as my standards. It's just a testament that our Father listens.
Well, that about sums up my week. See, I told you I would update :P I hope you all are well, I'm missing you guys, but not too much cuz I'm having so much fun.
Take Care,
See You at Thanksgiving
