A Whole Bunch of Stuff..

School has started! :) I'm excited. Well, I thought I was. Then I went to school yesterday and realized how much I hate sitting in class. Hahaha, I already have homework to worry about, on top of making sure I get to work on time, then working until close. Making time for the Temple, reading my books and scriptures, going to Institute, completing my duties as a service chairman, help with this huge work bbq happening tomorrow night, eating right, working out, hanging with friends, going to church, saying goodbye to friends before they leave. These last couple weeks have been stressful! But I sure am excited to just do nothing but work and school :)

I'm taking Astronomy, Communications, Philosophy, and Photography! I'm stoked about Photography. We're going to learn about our cameras, how to use them, and then how to be a photographer :) My Astronomy class seems cool. I like stars and looking at them and finding planets, so I'm really excited to learn more about outer space! My communications class has me worried just a bit because I have this weird phobia of people. Hahahaha so making myself interact with those I don't know is awkward. Hahaha but I'm excited for it! Doesn't seem like a bad class. Philosophy seems like it'll be my hardest class. I've heard it's a good class, and my teacher is really cool :) I have to watch the Matrix for it though... has anyone seen the Matrix? I haven't. But it should be a good class, learning how people think/see things in this world. I'm just ready to dive in school this semester and work really, really hard!

First day of school :)

It was really weird preparing for school yesterday. I'm not going back to Snow and I'm really missing it. I wish I was living with Katie, Whitney, Annie and Dustee. Those girls are just amazing and I'm sure being their roommates would have been a blast! I miss my roommates so much, and everything from last year! We had hard times, but so many fun times as well! It was weird getting my backpack out again, filling it with folders, papers, pencils/pens, books, and snacks. Keys, highlighters, lotion, led filter, etc. And it was even more weird driving to campus.

It had been sitting up there since April

All my books underneath my bed.

Filling it up with school stuff!

Morning sun on the way to school :)

On the way to school!

My new home; my new campus.
Salt Lake Community College

Not going to lie, I've been thinking about Snow non-stop since about a week ago. I really wish I was going back, but I think home is where I need to be. I have a good job, duties/responsibilities to attend to. I have a perfect calling in my YSA Ward, and even though my friends have all moved away to school or have left on missions, I know it's time to make some new friends! :)

Also, by the time I'm done with this semester, Brady will have been out 1 year!!! I cannot believe it!!! :) Time seems to be going but it's going slowly.

Now onto other news, I went on my first "date" on Tuesday. To be honest, it was weird. Just being around the opposite sex has always been weird for me since Brady left. I know it is good for me, for various reason, but i'm just having a hard time with it. I had fun though! We went to the West Jordan City Park for a picnic and had sandwiches and water, and just enjoyed the sun and the beauty of the earth! :) Then we came back to my house and played a board game, then played with my nephew. Went and got dinner to eat with my family, made a desert, then watched Tangled and A Walk to Remember (yes, he does like that movie.) and then we went to our homes. It was fun, and just really different for me. It's caused me to have a rough time though. It's caused me to feel more sad about Brady being gone. It's caused me to force myself to be okay with it. I know I should date, but maybe I'm not ready?? Brady hasn't been out too long, but long enough! I just really hope my feelings about this blow over, and I won't stress too much!!

Speaking of Brady...
Someone's 9 month mark comes up exactly one week from today!!! :) Can you believe it!?!?!? My first mission baby will be born next Friday!! I'm stoked! Only three short months until my sweetheart has been out for 1 year!! :) I love him and miss him so much!! But I'm so happy for him! Here are a few update photos:

Isn't he just so darn cute!? I mean seriously. I'm the luckiest gal in the world :)

Okay, now onto something else that's super awesome :)

This cutie pie is 6 months old today!! :) Gosh he's so darn cute. He's always laughing and smiling. Screaming and making noises, talking to himself and telling us all stories. He loves cups, cellphones, or anything bright and colorful. Basically, anything he can touch. He grabs your face. He has a death grip, and goes in for the kill, fooling that he'll be soft until he latches on. Poor kid gave me a bloody nose the other day. But his personality is so sweet. He wants so badly to crawl but his strength still needs a little building. He loves his parents, and they take such good care of him! :) He's the sweetest baby, and the cutest. I like his bald head, so I can't really picture what he'll look like with hair. Hahaha :/ Haha, anyway, happy 6 months baby boy:)









With work, I've just learned how to do the drive up! It's really different than the lobby, but I like it! I feel like I have more fun back there, and that I'm allowed to. Hahaha but anyway, work is going good, just need to work harder on cross sells :) Well, looks like I've said a bunch today. I haven't usually gone this long without blogging, but I just don't have time anymore. So, until next time fellow bloggers :)
