My Favorite Day

SUNDAY

I feel like Sunday is just the day when everything gets better.  No matter how bad your week was, or how hectic your life seems, it all just manages to slow down on Sunday.  Sure I have homework and worries to think about, but after going to church I just get that peace and calmness that I feel the strongest in church with all my friends who are there feeling that same overwhelming spirit.

Sooooo what did I do after those wonderful meetings you may ask?

I dove into a can of the best frosting ever: Rainbow chip

and I read...Number Our Days by Barbara Myherhoff

enjoy your Sunday!

Back in P-Town!

I guess life has been pretty hectic since I've been back in Provo, but I am honestly loving every minute of it!  I moved in last tuesday into my new apartment complex: Enclave Village, and I've honestly never been in such a fun and "happenin" place haha.  And I finally get my own room!!!!

So no crazy decorations yet, but I've only been here a little over a week, so I'm sure they will come :)

And then of course, I was reunited with one of my best friends and roommates: Kelsey Jean Briggs!!!!!

Since we've been back, we've made lots of cool friends like Rockwell, who I call "Rockasaurus," the famous Ben Lee, our dinner group pal Michael Spellman, who is actually sitting next to kels in this picture, but you just can't see him, and of course Bryan Briggs, Kelsey's brother!!!!

We actually threw Bryan an awesome birthday party this past Thursday, fully equipped with bumpin tunes, streamers, balloons, funfetti cake with rainbow chip frosting, basically the whole shabang! We socialized and partied all night!

In other news, classes have been pretty good.  I'm taking Communications101 and Anthropology101, which was originally supposed to be Humanities202, but I chickened out haha.  Not too much work yet, but I'm sure it will get pretty intense! Oh and I also have a job interview with NuSkin this coming Wednesday! wish me luck!

and I completely forgot to mention....

JERUSALEM REUNION!

so before the official reunion and miss Heidi Haglund's house, I was reunited with Cory Newton, Donovan Sanchez, and Spencer Anopol! We hung out, laughed, and ate Brick Oven!

I believe Spencer took the picture of these 2 men plus my lovely roommate, but anyways you get the point! REUNITED AT LAST! 

gosh, so far just loving my time back in Provo with all my friends :)

more pictures to come I promise!

Wait...I went to Peru?

Goodness! In case you guys didn't know, after I returned home from my amazing Jerusalem experience, 3 days later I jetted off again to Peru with my family.  I guess I must have caught a lot of germs or something because I left sick as a dog...not so much fun.  However, Peru was also quite the experience.  Here are some pictures from my amazing adventure!

I found a new passion for photography! I got a brand new camera for this trip, nothing special, but anything would be better than my old camera.  So this is a beautiful cathedral in Lima.

me and my parents in the main square in Lima

yup, my first taste of frozen yogurt after Jerusalem...and it was Pinkberry in Lima!

me and my sister with some cute local kids

Machu Picchu!!!

helping out at a local school, these were my students

just a really cute mother and son photo. the outfit she's wearing is authentic for their specific village

seriously, the sky was blue like this the ENTIRE trip. loved it. this is the village that our tour guide Raul was from

I just thought it was cool to see the stepped structures they used for farming and other agricultural things, while next to this really cool Catholic church

ya, no big deal...just some cow mouths laying around

This was the coolest church building I've ever seen!! it was the branch house on one of the many "floating islands" on Lake Titikaka...yes the islands are actually floating on the lake. AAAAMAZING!

After a little bit of a climb up to one village atop this mountain on Lake Titikaka, I found this sign pointing to the directions of many prominent cities...yes that's right, JERUSALEM is one of those cities. MADE MY DAY!

local village market

We got to eat with these very traditional Incan villagers. VERY COOL

So, better late than never! Definitely a trip to remember :)

this is what i do with my time

Well, if you couldn't tell from my last post...I am missing my friends, especially those who spent the 4 most wonderful months of my life with me. Soo...in part of my youtubing this past week, I made this slideshow as a little ode to that marvelous experience these people and the places we went to helped me have.

ANTSY!!

So I guess it has been quite some time since I've last written.  After Jerusalem I guess my life just didn't seem as interesting anymore!

BUT, I have recently been trying to develop my talents by practicing the guitar like crazy, and you know what, I've even been recording stuff here and there. soooo that's basically what I've been up to. 

main reason for this blog post: 

I CANNOT WAIT TO GET BACK TO PROVO! seriously, ants in my pants, i am THAT excited.  Though life at home has its ups, I cannot express how much I have been missing all of my great and fantastic friends back in provo.  First of all, I have my lovely roommates that I can't even believe I've been gone from for this long, and secondly, I have all of my lovely Jerusalem friends that I have been feeling quite disconnected from lately. 

so yes...it is time to get back.

1. pick a date

2. buy a plane ticket

3. done and done

yay, I'll be returning to my great school and wonderful friends in 6 short days! (in case you can't do the math, that means i'll be getting to Utah on June 14th)

o happy day :)
