Home comes to ME!

This weekend my mom and my best friend Kirsten are coming to Laramie! Both will be here for different things, but who cares as long as I get to see them! Kirsten and I will be attending the UW vs UNLV on Saturday and of course eating plenty of our favorite mint oreo cookies!
Life is good!

College Life?

As some of you know I am in Laramie, Wyoming going to school at the Universtiy of Wyoming. So much has happened in this last month and I am sorry that I have not kept you up-to-date.
Here's the low-down. My first week here was a hard one filled with anxiety and tears, until Kim Burton showed me what true friendship looked like. I have been longing for friends and family to talk to;however, I have come know and love the people in the Institute. I have met many new people and made many new friendships. At the end of the first week Kim and I attended a program called Summit put on by the University that helped me to get to know more people than just those in the Institute program. The following week I started classes and had an activity every night through the Institute. As school continues I continue to learn and grow in more ways than I imagined. I will try to be better at posting weekly so that my updates are shorter and in more detail.

Fantastic Weekend

This weekend I was able to run in the Ragnar Relay Wasatch Back. I was the third runner on our team. We started in Logan, Utah and ran to Park City which is approximately 188 miles, each runner taking three or four legs of the relay. Ragnar is about running for a cause, and this year we chose Kirt Galloway to be our cause. He has helped our community in so many ways and has just recently been diagnosed with cancer. He is a fighter and is giving it his all so we decided we could help by giving it our all. We were successful and finished in 26 hours and 15 minutes. Way to go SVXC!!!
