Typical Week of My Life

My alarm rings at 6 on Monday and Wednesday or 7 on Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday. I then read my scriptures for a 30 minutes. I love having the apartment to myself in the early morning. I am definitely a morning person. My breakfast consists of eggs or Target Cinnamon Protein Cereal. I enjoy breakfast so much. Then I head to class, with my backpack and iPod. After classes I walk back to the apartment, greet my roommates and make myself some lunch. My favorite lunches are grilled cheese or peanut butter sandwiches. Then I call Mom and tell her about my day. Then I embark on the journey of doing my homework. Around 5 or 6, my roommates and I make ourselves dinner. 8:00 hits, I grab my sneakers and head out the door. It is time for my walk to the temple and back. I love taking walks at night. The stars and moon are glorious against the dark sky. The Rexburg Temple is magnificent as well. This is the time of my day that I look forward to the most besides devotional on Tuesday. Devotionals take place on Tuesday at 2. It amazes me that each devotional tells me exactly what I need to hear that week. Anyway, I know this is kinda of a boring post.

This is my room at BYU-I. Isn't it so cute!

BYU-I so far has been great. I am definitely home sick, but I like my roommates and all my classes. I miss home so much! My favorite part of being here is the Rexburg Temple. It is so beautiful and you can see it from most anywhere. Every time I look at it, I am filled with peace. I have only been able to attend once, but I am planning on going tomorrow. All my classes are great. I really like my World Foundation class because I get to learn about different civilizations and religions and how they relate to my beliefs. My English Class is also fun. My teacher is really laid back. She gives good assignments that challenge you. The weather here in Idaho has been fairly mild except for the a couple of snow storms. It snowed today. I love the snow. It was so much fun to get bundled in my hat, gloves, winter coat and boots.

My Favorite Things

My roommate Abby gave me this idea to start my own blog and to write my favorite things.

I enjoy walking in any type of weather especially in the rain. I love pepperoni pizza and grilled cheese sandwiches. My favorite colors are baby blue, turquoise, sunny yellow,and pale pink. My favorite time of the day is the morning when the sun is bright. I love eating vanilla ice cream with MNMs in it. I love the smell of earth right after it rains. I simply love the smell of homemade bread, homemade chicken noodle soup and chocolate chip cookies. I love the smell of fresh laundered clothes and fallen leaves. I ejnjoy the crunchy sound fallen leaves make when you step on them. Every time I see a butterfly, I smile to myself. Some of my favorite memories consist of catching fireflies and walking along the river's path in Massachusetts. The music that I love is Owl City, Rascal Flatts, Taylor Swift, Carrie Underwood, and basically anything country. My favorite outfit is wearing my uggs, a pair of american eagle jeans, and a empire waist shirt with a cami underneath. In the words of Melissa Lefton, "I love life."
