time for an update

I have been working really hard in school lately so I haven't had a lot of free time to just update this little bloggy blog of mine. But here goes a looooong update. 

Let's start with Halloween. 

Unfortunately, Halloween lasted for way too long this year. 

Fortunately, the actual Halloween night was pretty fun. Me and my best friend Addy Baldwin dressed up as truckers for a Halloween party 

 Then we dressed up as babies for a party that was actually on Halloween. I do not have the pictures of that though. Such a fun weekend!

I LOVE THEM!

This is one of our best friends Pace! We love him <3 he was Peter Pan :)

mmmmm :) 

Streaking is DEF not allowed in the burg of rex.

Boys really like to make me breakfast sometimes. 

We love these boys! We have known them since the first day we showed up at BYU Idaho. 

I TEAM FRIENDS FOR LYFE.

i love love love getting missionary letters from my boy Elder Frame :) 

He is just too great, words cannot express. 

 BEFORE

AFTER

alright, so me and addy like to melt starburst in the microwave, what of it?

I love these girls with my whole freaking heart. 

Denny's at 1 am though... not worth it.

and this is my ginger. forever and ever <3

and they are in love.

We had so much fun in the backseat.

SO HAPPY I GOT TO SEE MY BABY GURL NAT!!!! <3

I love James Nicolas Parker. He is the only person that knows everything about me and the only person that has completely figured me out. We know each other so well that we can piss each other off by saying a few words and then love each other again with a few more words. I am so happy I got to see this boy this past weekend. Just made me remember what fun times we have had together and he reminded me that i am actually a really fun person. i love him!

omg... beccas room. nuff' said.

Yeah, you could say that college is the greatest experience ever.... because it absolutely is. I am so glad I chose to come to BYU Idaho a semester early. I have made so many friends that I will be friends with forever and I have grown up so much since I have been here. It is hard to believe because I feel like all I have been doing is messing around. But really guys, I think I am pretty mature.

but.

 It's sad, but some boys are still the same after their missions as they were before. The drama doesn't all go away, you just handle it in a different way when you are living on your own and taking care of yourself and you don't have your mom right down the hall from you to go cry to when a boy breaks your heart or calls you mean names. The best way to deal with it, move on. There is always something better around the corner :) and with a little faith, everything will work out in the end. 

"Everything will be okay in the end. If it's not okay, it's not the end"

My new favorite quote and motto I have been sticking by.

Yeah, my heart has already been broken since I have been here and guess what, it was patched up too because no boy who calls you names to your face is worth your time. NOT AT ALL! It does not matter how cute they are, if they are mean, they are not worth it. 

I get to see this lovely lady December First. I AM STOKED! I have missed my momma so much. 

It is so hard to be away from home knowing that my little brothers are still growing up without me there to help them and go to their football and basketball games and choir and orchestra concerts. These are probably the most amazing boys that I have ever met. Not one of them will complain about how hard their life is, but I have held all of these boys while they have cried. They are the sweetest, cutest, and funnest boys ever. I am so blessed to be eternally sealed to this rowdy group. And that gorgeous woman I am sitting next to has got to be one of the strongest moms on this planet. There is no way that she is human. She has got to have super powers or something, basically raising all of us kids by herself, now completely raising the young ones by herself. She is one amazing mom. And she still manages to have a ton of fun and be incredibly teenage like sometimes. I love her and I can't wait for her to come visit me in two weeks <3

"We may not have it altogether, but together we have it all"

We have accepted that we aren't normal. But we are absolutely content with our weird life.

Now on that note, ONE MORE WEEK TILL THANKS GIVING! I am ready to stuff my face.
