What is Up!

Hey everyone! Sorry it has taken me so long to update my blog, but it really just means that I have been so busy and having so much fun!
The first weekend I was here in Rexburg I performed in the Broadway Revue. It was a show full of songs from different musicals. I sang The New World from Songs for a New World. The show had a souncheck 3 hours before the actual performance and when I walked in there was really cute guy doing some tech work. We got talking and I thought he was awesome. During the sound check I gestered for him to come talk to me and when he came over I said "Hey do you have a girlfriend?" and he said "no" and I replied "Well, you should take me on a date." He was really stunned but got my number AND to my surprise he text me right after the show and asked if I wanted to go out! I was really attracted to him and we had a great time that night. We continued to go on dates and I was having a great time, but something was missing. I just didn't think he was the guy for me. Chris (thats the boy) and I had been dating for about 3 weeks when I started to worry that he was WAY more interested in me than I was in him. So we spent the evening together on Wednesday this week and I broke things off. I feel really bad and it has been harder for me than I expected. It was nice to have someone there, someone to talk to, someone that really really liked me (haha). It was the right thing to do though. So that has been my dating adventure for the past little while.
My roommates are the COOLEST! I really got so very blessed! I feel so comfortable with them! They make me feel loved and accepted and they are all very good girls! I was planning on being at home in the Fall and attending UNLV but I've thought about it long and hard and I cannot go to UNLV after being in Idaho! There is no comparison - BYUI is the best EVER! I am going to stay in Idaho for the Fall. I am going to take a few night classes and work during the day! I'm going to live with 3 of my same roommates; Katie, Georgie, and Betsy! I LOVE THEM!
I got homesick for the first time this week (lol) I didn't cry or anything, but we were talking about gambling in my math class and it made me miss Las Vegas - too funny!
My testimony has grown so much lately! The church is true! Our Heavenly Father has a plan for each of us and if we live righteously blessings that we cannot imagine will be poured out upon us. I know that my Redeemer lives! I know this is His restored gospel on the Earth!
I hope all is well! I miss you all and love you!

BYU Idaho

I'm here! Finally, I'm here! It is everything I anticipated and so much more! I have the most amazing roommates I could ask for, my apartment is GORGEOUS, the spirit is SO strong, and I am in love with this town! It is exactly what I wanted.

It is so neat to see Heavenly Father's hand in my life! A year ago I was dead set on attending SUU. I was 100% sure that I would stay at SUU all four years and I never imagined any other possibilities. Eleven days before I was supposed to start school at SUU everything fell through. It really was not what Heavenly Father had in mind. I had been set on what I wanted and not what He wanted. It was a hard choice to stay in Vegas, but I think it was part of His plan. After attending UNLV for one semester I was ready to leave (lol). I needed to try living away from my family and that University was so focused on the world. During my second semester I knew it was time to apply somewhere else. BYU Idaho seemed like the right place. It was amazing how quickly everything happened. I applied, got accepted, got housing, got excited, GOT HERE! Heavenly Father will guide our lives if we will just be clay in His hands. I am so grateful that I have been blessed to be here!

Oh, about my roommates...I have four: Georgie, Katie, Crystal, and Betsy. They have opened their arms and made me feel like family. On Sunday my family left to go back to Las Vegas. My dad came to my ward to take the sacrament, but left right after that. I felt so scared, so alone. I fought tears back so hard, but it was no use so I ended up trying to hide my face. Then my awesome roommate Crystal saw that I was crying and she put her arm around me and gave me a hug! That was such an amazing blessing! I have not cried since that moment because all my roommates are that way! They are so fun loving and we have grown together spiritually just through these four days! We decided to start having apartment prayer which is such a neat experience! I love these girls!

I hope all is well with everyone!
