Adventures in the Burg: Act 1

I am now currently over half-way through my 3rd semester up here at good ol' BYU-Idaho, located in the ever-pleasant Rexburg oasis. Here, the sun is always shining, and the birds are always singing. "When the sun hits that ridge just right, these hills sing." Oh wait. That's Pacha's little hillside, not the Rexburg ice cube... Here in Rexburg we enjoy blizzards in September, winds that cut through your bones like knives, and winter coats all year round! It's basically Antarctica. 

Luckily we have the Spirit of Ricks to warm our souls, right? That really is what makes living in Rexburg worth every minute. That Spirit. I feel it every day in my classes, it strengthens me each week as I attend devotional. It helps me realize who I am: a daughter of God. A woman loved by my family, and cared about by my friends. The Spirit strengthens us as students in our academic and personal lives.... I'm sorry to be leaving it so soon.... 

Yup. That's right.... I'm transferring come next fall! Do I know where yet? Absolutely not! But I know that wherever I end up will take me on a new journey involving new adventures! 

Yes, it stresses me out not knowing exactly what I am doing with my life, but I know things will work out! I am trusting Heavenly Father to lead me. 

Because I mean really.... If God is with me, who can be against me? :) --Romans 8:31

Now on with life. To much has happened in the past few months to be summed up in one blog post. Fall is pretty much my FAVORITE time of year! I cannot even begin to describe its awesomeness. I'm rooming with  my sister Jess and my beautiful cousin Annalise! Our adventures are too many to even count. Yet I shall try...

Other adventures occur on a daily basis. How can we NOT, what with awesome roommates and FHE brothers, amazing friends, and QUITE the imagination! Rexburg Rodeo, Straw maze, dancing in the rain the Haunted Mill, pumpkin carving, Dance Central and Just Dance, , cook-offs, plays, country dancing, volleyball and basketball games, concerts, Sammy's shakes, the list goes on and on! I plan on continuing to explore new possibilities and TRY to endure this frigid weather! Peace!
