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.
