BooKs I'vE reAd lAteLy....

Another semester done? I know right? (Becky, Alicia, Jared, Lisa... you will all appreciate that!) It is crazy to think that I am 1/4 of the way through my college education! This semester flew by! I honestly feel like I was just starting to get the hang of things and now I am done? Wow! I have lots of plans for this 7 week break before I return in Sept. for the start of Fall semester. I am only going to be taking 16 credits in the fall-hopefully it will be a lot less stress even though it is just one credit less. We shall see. I am so excited because in the Fall I am taking my first sewing class up here! I can hardly wait!- wait I can wait because I want to play for 7 weeks!

There have been a ton of things this semester I have learned in nutrition that I will remember!!!

This was a fun class but it required a lot of work! This is the only textbook I have read in its entirety!!!

This was a side required reading for my Pakistan class. It is such a good book! I recommend it!

NOTE: These are not the only books I read this semester, I just forgot to take pictures of the other ones. I also read the Odyssey and then the textbooks for my other classes.

When We ShOulD be GoiNg To BeD...

The other day Ashley, Beth and I went to Wal*Mart. We all ended up getting basketball shorts ($6!) because our apartment gets so warm! Ashley also got some new eye shadow. When we got home Beth went to Harry Potter and Ashley and I should have gone to bed... Instead we she played with our make up since she had just bought her new stuff... we are nerds, we know!

FHE

This week for FHE we went to Big Jud's after our lesson to get food, then we came back to our apartment to eat. Josh was the only one feeling up to a Big Jud, but my onion rings were great! I have been blessed to have such a fun FHE group this semester!

Josh's Big Jud!

BisHop'S cAbIn FuN....

This weekend we had our annual 87th ward closing social at the Bishop's Cabin in Island Park. I had never been before and it was so much fun! We went up Friday about 4 and started in on the fun. We played volleyball, went jet skiing, had a slip and slide into the water, went boating, tube-ing, it was a blast! Everyone was super sun burnt afterwards but me! I was a little pink but thanks to my wonderful skin am now just tan! I can't wait until we get to go again next year! (Ash and I are going to try to sneak to up to the one after winter semester too because then they go snowmobiling!)

I decided that I would see how many people I could get if we started taking a picture...

This place is incredible!!! It was so much fun!

PICTURES!!!

Ashley came out in the living room where I was a while ago and said that she wanted someone to go and play in the rain with her... well it stopped raining by the time we got out there so we took these instead!!! SHE IS BEAUTIFUL!!
