Friday, Friday, gettin' down on Friday...

Oh the happiness that a weekend can bring... oh wait. Not yet. First I have to take two grade-altering tests. Then I'll be ready for anything :) So, Wyoming was great! The whole point of the trip was to get some fireworks that aren't exactly available here in Idaho. But come to find out, they don't sell fireworks in Jackson Hole, WY. So we made the beautiful two hour drive there, walked around the quaint little town for an hour or so and drove back home!
I have learned a great lesson these last couple of days. Wanna hear? Oh goodie. I was able to pinpoint what my major personal trial is at this time in my life and I was so relieved! It might seem strange... and it is. It was a really depressing moment to hear myself say out loud that I know what my problem is (because I really did say it to myself out loud... it was that monumental). But since then, the depression has worn off and I have been so relieved. I am so happy that my trial is what it is and I don't think I would trade it for any other trial of anyone else that I know. It is unique to me and I have grown up learning how to deal with it. It has made me a better person and I know it will continue to do so!
Now, back to the history of Ancient Rome... bleh.

I had the best day. with you. today.

Life is good, everyone! I don't even know where to start! I have about a month left this semester at BYU-Idaho and I really don't want it to end. If it weren't for my family back in California, I'm pretty sure I would find a way to stay all year long. I feel like this really is my home. I have grown so much this semester because I started out completely alone. Luckily, I was blessed with the better roommates than anyone within a five-mile radius. Not even joking. I have gotten to know who I am so well and I'm growing so much, meeting countless amounts of great people, and having so many great experiences! I wouldn't spend these last six months with anyone else, in any other places. Being able to grow so much closer to my family for the first three and a half months of the year, and then growing more within myself than at any other point in my entire eighteen years. Best year ever so far!
And it's just going to keep going!! I'm moving to Orlando Shmorlando all by myself - cue Celine - in less than three months! Expect updates regularly and lots and lots of stories! I've never been so excited to moved a few thousand miles away from everyone I know!
Finally... today. It started with me waking up at 9 to a 75 degree sun shining down through my window, walking a mile to the temple, getting home at 12:30 to get ready for the day, attending one of the best devotionals I've ever been to (link to come shortly), getting a ridiculous amount of compliments, doing some homework that actually taught me a lot, coming home to my lovely roommates, getting a surprise taco bell dinner delivered by some wonderful people right to my door, going to a cold but fun but intense but always entertaining flag football game, and now continuing my horrible late night ritual of wasting time. Honestly, I couldn't ask for anything better and I hope tomorrow is just as great... I'm going on a trip to Wyoming after my classes end so it's bound to be great, right?? :)
