Since I pretty much have been MIA from this blog, and since it is finals week, i decided to blog real quick to share a little good news with everyone that I don't talk to frequently.....

(bump-bada-ba!)
Weber State accepted me!

BOOO-YEAHH! Now I just have to get into the Rad Tech program, and then life will be settled for a while.

Its finals week. Once I'm done this week, I'll be home for a week, and then I'll be back here for Summer (I'm taking a golf class--ask me how excited I am!)

PS. I have discovered that if I blog during finals, its mostly because I am avoiding doing stuff. I obviously don't buckle down very well.

Hiking R "Mountain"

Rachel, Carly, Me, and our friend Christina all went and hiked R "Mountain" yesterday. It's not actually a Mountain, but that's the local lingo. All in all, the hike probably took us about 20 minutes from the bottom to the top {and that's with us stopping to take pictures}

I miss mountains--I am so used to having them RIGHT there, and seeing them everyday!

To explain the pictures below:

We hiked up a volcano. That what the Menan Buttes are--old volcanoes.

So we decided to act out our favorite scene from Madagascar 2

"My sacrifice goes into the Volcano, and the God's eat up my sacrifice"

"Mmmmm very nice thank you for the sacrifice"

"Then the God's give me their water, which I, King Julian, then give to you!"

{end of scene :)}

If you click on this picture, you can see the caption I put. But in the background, you can see the Grand Tetons.

On our hike back down, we found a pretty awesome rock... it had a place for me to lay down...

...and a new place to do some yoga (which doesn't happen often)!

Random Funny Moment that Happened After Hiking

Will you please notice my cupboard of food, with all the fruit inside, and also the pitcher precariously placed below my cupboard.

{ I know my cupboard is messy. Please just ignore that.}

One of my apples plopped into Rachel's orange juice.

Yummy.

AZ was nice and warm :) here are a couple of pictures from the fun events...

I met baby Ruby! She is adorable, and slept ALL the time :)

Me with the beautiful bride :)

Elder Bullock came too! Since he is in Italy, I thought he would appreciate being at his cousins wedding.

I caught the Bouquet! All of us cousins all together. I'd like to think that I intimidated all of the other girls, because I told Jessi to throw the bouquet to me. It wasn't rigged though.

The Bride and Groom with Sean

They got married on Friday, and it was such a BEAUTIFUL day...she was such a happy bride!

It was the most chill wedding I have ever been too. They took their wedding pictures at the temple on Wednesday, had their reception on Thursday, and then got married on Friday, then left right after the temple for their honeymoon. I am so happy for the both of them!

On a tangent...

I had a plan of working for a certain company, but that fell through (to my embarrassment). So I am in need of ideas of stuff to do in the fall, preferably with a program aimed towards college students. I am stuck without anything to do for the fall... I am in need of ideas of something that you've done, or anything that you heard of someone doing.

Escape!

I am overloaded with HW, but I have AZ on the brain... I get to go there tomorrow! I am excited cause Jessi is getting married! and I get to see my new baby niece!

On the beach July 2009. We were sooo burnt that we were shivering waiting for the fireworks :)

Does this sound like De Ja Vu?

To some of you collegiate people, having been to college or what not (ie. anything busy or hard), there are certain things that you know that you do when you get extremely tired of being smart all day long.

I just discovered I tend to dumb-down on my spelling

gowing--going

Lik-ed--liked

God Bless America

Words of Gratitude fill my heart right now. I just got out of my English class (you know, the one with Brother Hunt, here and here). Today we were discussing how in communities of homogeneous deomographics, there tends to be very little critical thought, because everybody generally thinks the same way. My professor then goes on to say how in Rexburg a bus load of children started to holler and shout "Assassinate Obama" after his election {see article here}.

I don't care what political side you are on, threatening to assassinate the President is a threat to democracy itself. Because the people cast their thoughts onto a ballot, and elected Barack Obama to guide and represent our country for four years. If you were to kill the president, you are telling the people who voted for him that you disagree with them, and the president. Find another way to get your opinion heard. If it were "Assassinate Bush" I would feel the same way. Our class discussion kept going.

My teacher then said that He knew, and His wife knew that He was supposed to be here at BYU-Idaho teaching the students critical thinking. And he knew this through his patriarchal blessing and prayer.

At this point in time, I was all tears, being held together by my sheer modesty to NOT cry in class.

You see, I have been feeling this class has been teaching more than how to write papers and be professional in writing.

Especially today that was brought to my attention.

I am in this class to become a better person, and to really find out what I believe in life, and what to do with the thoughts that I have. It's teaching me to analyze and to project my thoughts that were thoroughly edited into words.

How grateful I am to be living in a country where I can choose who leads me.

How grateful I am to be at a University that teaches me to be a better citizen and person.

Happy Birthday to My amphibian friend!

HAPPY BIRHTDAY to MICHAL! Welcome to twenty-hood! (sometimes I still dread that I'm 20, but I hear that they are the best years of your life!)

You may wonder about the title: It's because Turtles are my FAVORITE animal when we met hers were frogs. So therefore, amphibians.

Michal: molly, do you like turds?

Molly: HAHAHAHAHAHA, what?

Michal: Well, you have a lot of turtle's on your shelf, but I meant to say Turtle, not Turd

Molly: Am I stinging off tune?

..The many adventures of trying to make Michal burp and then hearing her gurgle..

Michal, I love you and hope you have a great day!
