The Semester is Coming to a Close, and NOT a Moment too Soon!

Oh this semester, how it is been a huge trial, but according to everyone, it is a HUGE learning experience. It is coming quickly to an end, and I can not even express how excited I am for that. Last weekend I went to Jerome with Catherine, to see her parents. We needed a serious break from good old Rexburg. We had a blast, just being us and not worrying about whether or not we were going to be arrested for a crime we did not committ!


Catherine and I being so awesome at life we had
to take it outside!





We met this really sweet Elk adn he wanted to take
a Picture with us, how could we refuse?!




The weekend before that we had a little party at the Nates House. The Nates are my Rexburg parents and they take really good care of me! We played Rock Band 2 for like 4 hours it was so fun!! I even got out a bandana and tied it onto my head like Brett Michaels from Bus of Love, it was awesome!!


Our Band, Team Amazing, getting pumped
for the big show! Ellie was not into our rockin
Band!!!



There really are no words for this one!!!


I have decided that I am going to be going back to CA for the summer. My mom and I talked and we decided that I would have more opportuinites down there. We are working on me maybe going back out to Indaina(I have never been there) for a little bit and the end of the summer, we will see what happens. I am excited to get out of here, it did not even matter where I was going to go!


Oh, I have almost died twice in the last 2 weeks.... I am not making that up in the least. Last week Catherine and I were driving around and we almost got hit by a moose, yes WE almost GOT hit BY the Moose, we did not almost hit the moose. And then last night some idiot was driving on the wring side of the road and almost plowed right into me, good like I have reflexes like a cat and was able to move out of the way. I think it is definantly time for a fresh look at life and a reset button push is in need!

My 21st birthday is coming and I am trying to convince my parents to get me a gun... they do not think I am capable of operating such a machine... oh but they are soooooo wrong!!! I have proof that I can work that gun, own that gun!!




Like Jack Bauer, I shoot to kill!

Oh my crazy life!

Oh my crazy life is slighly an understatment. About a month ago my roommate noticed some cash she kept in her room was missing. She asked us about it and then decided to call the police and file a report over $50. CRAZY I know, but that is not the half of it. I was interviewd by the officer who came to my house very briefly and I gave my statement, then a few hours later I had to come home because the police were coming back to interview us again. I was in with the cop for like 45 mins, I think I was in there the longest of all my roommates. I gave my story and then that was it. My roommate moved out into another apartment and we all thought it was done adn over with... NOPE, we were wrong!! Monday I was minding my own business walking home from class and I get a call from the Rexburg Police Department asking me to come down and talk to a Detective about the "missing" money. I called a lawyer and got some advice and then went down there yesterday and told the Detective exactly the same thing I told the officer the first 2 times... He asked me if I would be willing to take a polygraph to prove I was telling the truth. I said I would but the entire time I was thinking... Are you kidding me a polygraph (that is not admissible in court) over $50 that I am pretty sure NO ONE stole...Okay, if it comes to that I might die of laughter. The Detective had no idea that I trained with Jack Bauer and NOTHING can shake me!!

So other then being in an interrogation room for 30 mins, I am going to the Fremont Republicans Meeting tomorrow night to speak about young activism in the Republican Party and the things that the College Republicans have done in preserving conservative values. I am still loving school as much as possible with everything that is going on. I am going to Jerome Idaho this weekend with my roommate Catherine (that is where she is from) to get away from the drama of Rexburg, I am so excited!!

We will see how things pan out with everything. My dad called last night and called me Inmate 8675309....Oh Dad, stop that!! I am just living my life and loving as much of it as possible. I have great friends and I am making new ones and getting to know lots of new awesome friends. Trying to find the positive in thigns really is the best way to go.

For now, Inmate 8675309 is signing out and will be back after the speech to report how it went!

Holy long awaited Update BATMAN!!!

So, I know I am super lame and have taken some time off from the whole blogging but I decided that I better start updating, so here it is.
The semester is over in about 4 1/2 weeks and a lot of my friends are graduating and becoming real adults... it is a little sad because I will still be here, oh well... my time will come! I am currently the President of the BYU-Idaho College Republicans and I am loving it. We are recovering from a major loss this year but we are trying our best to stay positive and working hard to bring things back! Just a few weeks ago I went to a Lincoln Day Banquet (Lincoln is HUGE in the Republican party!) and I was asked to speak at the Fremont County (the next county over) Monthly Republican meeting on the 19th of this month. I was asked to speak about the young people in the Republican party and all that we have done to promote conservative values across the country with all of our deployments that we go on! I am super excited about it.
I am working at the Admissions Office here at BYU-Idaho and I love it! It is so much fun and all the people here are so great, it is like a family away from home. Classes are super stressful and frustrating but I like most of them. I am loving learning about all the political aspects of so many different areas of the world we live in, me being a political science major and all. I am getting really close to graduating. I have about 3 semesters left so I am winding down my stay here in Rexburg. As much as I have loved living here, I am defiantly ready to go out and see where I bloom! I am not sure what I want to do when I graduate, there are so many options for me and so many things that I am interested in I am not sure where I should go, but we will see!
Rexburg has been its usual self thins winter... COLD and SNOWY, two of my not so favorite things! But now that I have Snowflake the Autobot (My cute little car) things are a little less cold and frustrating! When Magnum the Autobot died things were tough, but then I got Snowflake and she is great!
My roommates are amazing. I currently only have 4 of them, one recently moved out after a scandal occurred within our apartment. I have built an amazing friendship with Catherine, she is one who I lived with last semester. Her and I are planning on taking our show on the road... we are pretty gosh darn funny! We have even thought about putting together and all girls "Queen" tribute band, we are going to call it "King"... just a plan right now but it would be pretty awesome!
Over the summer my parents moved to Ellettsville Indiana, a small town just outside Bloomington, where the University of Indiana is, and they LOVE IT!!! Tanner and Reagan are adjusting very well to the new form of life out there in "Rural America'' but they seem to be liking it just fine.
A few months ago I applied for a Ronald Reagan Student Leader Scholarship and I am still waiting to hear back about that. Getting that Scholarship would be amazing, it would help me out so much. I am also working with someone in my office here to get a scholarship for my grades, and that seems to be headed in the right direction so we will see where things end up.
My life is pretty much the same as ever with a lot more stress that is not really wanted, but it is a part of life. I am still unsure as to what I am going to do this summer. If I can get a well paying job in California then I will most likely end up there, but if I can not get a job in CA, then I am going to go to Indiana and work somewhere out there. It is all about where the jobs are.
For now that is all I have. I am sure there will be something else to report soon! I promise to be better with the updates and postings. I will have new pictures soon too.
