Happy New Year!

Well, I'm going to be cutting back my hours at Barnes & Noble and Chili's because I'm going to be going to school this semester. I'm just going to go to Grossmont, which is a community college for those of you who don't live here in San Diego. I'm taking 13 credits - a photo class, college algebra, trig, and american government. I'm very excited to go back to school! I've really missed it! The goal is to be back in Rexburg this fall going to BYU-Idaho. Grossmont starts on the 28th.

Corey, my brother, just had a birthday on Friday. He's 18, which means he can leave on his mission in a year, which is just crazy to me. I got to throw him a surprise birthday party with the help of my dad and the Densley's. I really enjoyed seeing him so happy and have so much fun on Friday night. He has also pretty much completed his Eagle Scout. He just has to get things signed and confirmed and all of the paperwork taken care of. I'm so proud of him!

Well, I can't really think of anything else exciting. It seems that for the most part I've been more excited in Corey and his eagle, his birthday, etc. than anything else. He's so awesome! I'm so lucky to have such a wonderful brother! We had stake conference today, and right afterwards he went straight over to the missionaries. It's like he's already one of them, even though he has a year until he leaves.

Things are great! I'm really loving it, and I'm trying to treasure every moment because before I know it I'll be back in Rexburg away from all of this.

Going Back to School...

So, I am getting close to starting school again. I really missed it this past semester. It was weird not being in school. Now I can't wait to start back up. I'm just going to be going to Grossmont, and then in the fall I'll go back up to BYU-Idaho. I'm living with the Densley's which is wonderful! I'm working at Barnes & Noble and Chili's, just saving my money so I can pay for school. I definitely miss Rexburg, but it's been great to be home in San Diego. Corey is turning 18 on Friday. It's crazy! He only has a year until he can leave on his mission! Time flies! Anyway, life is great!

An Unrelenting Longing

Earlier this year, I blocked my parents from being able to text or call me and from seeing my social media. I had prided myself for years th...
