home sweet home

This girl is back in the great state of Texas. I survived finals week, and the 20 hour car ride home. And now, I am back in Texas. Can I say it again? I'M BACK IN TEXAS!! I am so happy! I never thought I'd miss the flattness, and the dust, and did I mention how flat it is here? I wore shorts and sandals today by the way. I don't think I could ever go back to Rexburg. Good thing I'm going to cosmetology school in Utah :)  Well, I just wanted to blog and say as many times as I could that I am back in Texas!!!  

How can you not love this picture? Beautiful sky as far as the eye can see.

finals week=death

What more really needs to be said besides the title of this blog post? FINALS WEEK =DEATH. For real. Everyone on campus has the crazy stressed look on their face. Why are finals such a big deal? Yeah, I don't really know. I've discovered a few things that help me stay relatively stress free, or at least as stress free as I can be during the craziest week of the semester.

• eating lots of ice cream. (ice cream is basically a cure to any problem in my life)
• turkey, bacon, quacamole asiago bagel and a maui mango smoothie (the little shop in the downstairs of the MC knows my name, yeah, i'm a regular!)
• diet coke.
• watching movies when I should be studying, everyone needs a break once and a while. 
• getting new music, seriously, it's the best.
• watching awkward couples make out right in front of me. Okay maybe that's not one, but I just witnessed it. super awkward 
• day dreaming about how wonderful the summer is going to be
• a new haircut (ahh it's short!))
• spending time with my friends/roommates that I will miss when I go home!
• Studying actually helps relieve stress too... weird.

well there it is, this is a list of how I'm staying sane this last week, that I might add WON'T END! I need to be in Texas.. NOW! 

peace out Rexburg. 

[new hair cut, don't make fun of the fact that I can never have open eyes in pictures, I'll learn eventually..]

Happy Birthday to my big brother Ben!

It's April 5th, and it's also my big brother Bens birthday! He is the big  21 today! Ben has been kind of a challenge to live with for the past... Long time. But I'm so proud of him for working hard to turn his life around. I love Benjamin so much, and I'm proud of how hard he is working on changing his life around! I can't wait to see him soon :)

Happy birthday big brother!!! :)
