Life Without School

Hello my friends. I know I promised to show you all my art collection, but I was unable to get permission from the artist to be able to post them online. I love the artist and need to respect her wishes. On another note, life is going well. I am working for my neighbor while I wait for school to start again. It isn't the most glamorous job but the pay is okay, the hours are great, I get time off whenever I ask for it, I work with cool people and there is no stress. On the fun side of life, I have been playing a lot of EverQuest. I have met some really cool people and I am really enjoying spending time with them. The best part about it is that I get to play EQ with my mom; it is nice getting to spend more time with her.


I am not currently dating anyone. My last date was a cross between comical and revolting. It was a blind date. I met him at the movie theater. He showed up in sweat shorts, flip flops, a dirty old t-shirt and a baseball cap. He bought our tickets and then asked me if I wanted anything from concessions. I told him I would like some water. He proceeded to tell me that it would take too long to get through the line and he didn't want to miss the movie. I think he just didn't want to by me any water because we had 15 minutes before the movie started. When we got into the theater he asked me where I wanted to sit. I told him near the top row. He said there wasn't enough room up there and suggested the front row. I think he just didn't want to walk up the stairs. I don't know why he even asked me where I wanted to sit. Throughout the movie I noticed he kept wiping his nose with his sleeve and picking the wax out of his ear and wiping it on his shorts. A couple of times during the movie his cell phone went off and he kept checking it. It made me wonder if he had somewhere more important to be. After the movie was over I went to powder my nose and when I came out I saw him standing there picking his nose. I guess that was his form of concessions. As we walked out of the theatre he was messing with his cell phone and was on it before I got more then a few steps away from him. I thought this was very rude!!! We then met up for ice cream. He talk endlessly about his video game while sitting at the table with his legs spread so far apart I wondered if he could do the splits. Did I mention he was seriously obese? It wasn't a pretty picture. I spent the whole time trying to keep the lower portion of his body out of my peripheral vision... He made it clear he was not active in church by the way he spoke. The most offensive part of the whole date was when he used the most profane swear word. He was for sure not the right Mormon boy for me. I found this picture "Choose the Right Mormon Boy" and thought it was so cute and fit well with this story.
This coming weekend we are taking a trip to Great Falls, Montana to see CJ, LeNell and the boys. I am looking forward to seeing everyone.

My Art Mania

I have recently added more art to my growing collection. Special Thanks to my talented cousin Andra Jensen!

Picture of my collection will be coming soon ;) After They are approved for viewing.

BYU-Idaho

I successfully completed my first semester at BYU-I. It was sad to have some of my classes end and a relieved about others. BYU-I is so much harder then ISU ever was. I have never worked so hard in my life. My next semester starts on April 20th. I am really excited about my new classes: Child Development, Special Education, Science and Family History. I have bruce Satterfield as my family history teacher, who comes highly recommended. This semester I based my schedule on ratings and comments from ratemyprofessor.com. Wow, what a helpful website. I have all great teachers this semester. I hope this semester will be as fun as last semester. I adore BYU-I. The teachers, the classes, the atmosphere, and the standards. It is the second best place on earth.

From the second best place on earth, I have a great view of the first best place on earth, the Rexburg Temple.

President Clark is awesome. He gave a great devotional at the beginning of the semester and I love what he has done here at BYU-I. He left his position at Harvard to come to BYU-I and I am glad he did.

BYU-I has a beautiful campus and buildings. Everyday I walk through a little piece of heaven on my way from the Hinckley building to the Taylor building; I can’t wait to see the horticulture garden in the summer.

This is the Spori where my cousin Andra spends much of her time. It has a very cool art gallery where her art is sometimes featured. She is really very talented.

The Manwaring building has a massive food court. It is really a very impressive. I have only eaten there once but it was really very good, much better then any other buffet style food.

This is the football field at BYU-I. Not that I am a sports fan but it sure looks pretty ;)

The grounds are just as spectacular at night as they are during the day. This concludes the BYU-I tour. I hope you had a pleasant journey.

Vacation

Mom, Dad, Grandma and I all went to Lewis & Clark Caverns. Dad stubbed his toe on a lip in the floor on the path and fell two feet into a hole. I pulled him out of the hole but he cut up his hand an arm. Dad is so tough he was bleeding all over the place and all he said was "ouch". His arm has a black and purple bruise covering from his wrist to arm pit. He scrapped off a large chunk of skin on his hand that is still trying to heal. Dad walked the rest of the two hours with his hand and arm bleeding without complaint. The caverns were really cool and we had alot of fun.

We then headed to Virgina City to pan for gold but sadly they were all closed up when we got there. Then we went to Ennis and had dinner. The outside of the place looked like a hole in the wall but once we got it in was so nice and clean and really yummy BBQ ribs! Then we drove home; it was a long day but very fun.
