I'm going there someday...

Today I went to the Rexburg temple with Brooke Brittan and Whitney. I haven't been in a while and it felt so nice to finally make it there after so long. It's a blessing to have one on campus here. I love it!

Roomies

*side note- saturday night brought out our inner child and we watched a movie under this sweet fort!

I love my Roommates so much! I don't know how I got so lucky!!

The perfect man

Years ago in young womens, our leaders had us come up with lists of what we looked for in our ideal spouses. I got to thinking about it on Sunday, and realized that I hadn't really updated that mental list for quite awhile. So, I got out a pad of paper and a pen and went to work. This is the finished product that is now hanging in my bedroom.

So it's pretty basic knowledge that i'm not exactly the neatest person out there.

...in fact, i'm pretty darn sloppy.

But this semester i'm trying to make a change. It doesn't hurt that my roomie is really neat either. So, i'm trying to break this habit and clean up every once in a while. I never knew how therapudic cleaning your room was!

All Moved In!

Well, spring semester is in full swing now and my homework is kicking my butt already. On the bright side, I'm all moved in! I love my new apartment and my new roommates. It's super fun with all of them!

Full of Hot Air

This weekend, before heading up to Rexburg, Rachael and John took me on a little trip to go Hot Air Ballooning. I had been once before over thanksgiving. John's Birth dad Kevin is a hot air balloon pilot, so they took me up that time. On Saturday, though, we woke up bright and early and headed out to Logan to take flight. There were 4 hot air ballooning crews there, and once they were all blown up and ready for lift off, it really looked amazing. Hot air balloons are really a spectacle. I went up in a balloon with John and a friend of his. It was a perfect morning, great for flying!

Time's Up!!

Well, the time has finally arrived for me to pack up 100lbs of my things and head back to good old Idaho for 13 weeks of school! I must say, looking back, the break went by faster than expected. I had such an amazing time at home that I almost don't want to go back!! I think a little photo montage of all of the fun that I had should help show many of the things i've done throughout "winter break". (granted, I have not been the most diligent in taking lots of pictures. I have been thinking maybe it's due time to invest in a new travel sized camera since mine can be a little testy)


Finn!!! I saw this adorable boy 5 days a week! (6 if you count church) I love this little guy!

I endured one of the worst snow storms ever. Who would've thought that it would've been hitting Maryland rather than Idaho?

Baby Emma Rae Harding was born and she is just cute as a buton! even Aunt Rachael and Uncle John came to see her!

The family went to Nick Markoff's birthday and had an Easter egg hunt- little George was hoarding most of the eggs!

You've got to love that Gabe!

I took my first trip to the Cherry Blossom Festival with Mom, Shayne and the Martinis'! I was so bummed my camera battery was dead, but thanks Anjie for letting me steal some pictures!

I baked waay too much! after this, I never wanted to see another banana muffin for the rest of my life.

Me and Isabelle made the most epic Harry Potter character list ever- 113!!!

Gabe and Shaybe were hamming it up at the Jefferson Memorial in DC! I love that place so much!

Every few weekends, Elle would take the bus down from NYU and come play with me, like any best-friend-attached-to-my-hip would!! This is from our trip to Georgetown (all for a measley cupcake... but well worth it!) She's a gem!!
One thing I will miss very much while i'm gone is Georgetown Cupcake. This place is spectacular!
I spent lots of time with some dear friends while they were on break! you can't see him in the picture, but Alex was there too! During this week, we became hooked on 90s shows and movies. It was the greatest week ever!
For Maggie's birthday, Brooke and I filled her car with balloons with movie quotes written on them!

I took a girl's day trip to NYC with Elle, Bess and Kelly. What a fun time!!!
