Sad day

Today my best friend left to go back home for the summer :( She has been my support and angel for the past nine months. She has impacted my life in ways she will never really understand. I can't wait until she is back in Laramie!! Miss you Kimberlay!!!

Where has this year gone!!

A year ago at this time I was ready to graduate from high school and wondering what college was like, and now a year later I know. :) There are so many great people that you meet when you come to college. I have made many new friends and strengthened old friendships through theses many months of laughter, funny times, and stress. This year I have learned much from those around me and myself. Classes have ranged from ultra fun and easy to major butt-kickers! I am excited that this year is done and am ready for some summer fun to get me ready for next semester and the trials and experiences that will come with it. Time to just keep keepin on!

Three weeks left!!

This first year of college has definitely been a learning experience, not only scholastically but also in life lessons. The year started quite peachy. I was free and had easy classes with very little homework which allowed for me to enjoy the fun things in college. There have been many movies watch, nights slept on Kim's couch, laughs shared, and activities accomplished. In the Fall we went hiking, and rode bikes everywhere then in the Winter we went sledding at Happyjack and went to the hot springs in Saratoga. I was able to go home for Christmas break which was very enjoyable and relaxing. Soon after break second semester started and with it came mounds of homework, a beater car, and a job. Needless to say I have learned many more life lessons this semester than the previous. From my car I have learned responsibility, independence, and that insurance is good to have. My job has taught me patience and the worth souls as I have been a bus aide for the local school district. With this semester came a heap of stress that I have had to learn to cope with. I have also experienced the disappointment of not always getting things right the first time. However, through it all I have gained lasting friendship and a greater testimony of God's plan for his children. Even though I don't always know why things are happening to me I know that one person does. I feel blessed to have this experience of college and I look forward to the years ahead. Thank you to all who have helped me in this new adventure down this new road of life. :)
