I'm not really sure where to start exactly!? How about this, I'll just say I had the best childhood you could want because I was the best kid ever - need I say more? I was the little girl in the skirt and Sunday shoes who would race trikes with the boys :) I loved bugs, making mud pies, climbing trees, gymnastics and doing anything outside. I grew up under the watchful eyes of the best parents in the world and it's taken me 18 years and living on my own to realize this ;) Don't get me wrong - we've had our differences but we turn out better because of them. They taught me to love learning, to communicate with others(which surprisingly includes both talking AND listening!), to get along with people - even the ones we don't like ;) and to suck it up and be a happy girl! Interestingly enough, I didn't figure out half of this stuff until I got here - to college!

I am in my second semester at BYU-Idaho where if you're used to sunshine 24-7...winter semester is probably not for you ;) College life has it's ups and downs - but mostly ups once you get used to it. I have had several challenges since I've been up here in all shapes and sizes; from roommates to boys to teachers to classes to not having a calling in my ward for a semester and a half - but i'm not bitter ;) It's been fun. Lots and lots of 'fun'...
