School's Almost Over!!

Oh my gosh!!  I have about 7 days left of school and then I will finally have a summer break!! 7 full weeks to do whatever it is I want! No more school!! Goodness I'm excited!!

So for this break I am going to stay in Utah for a couple of weeks and then head up to Lind for maybe 2 weeks and then head back to Utah.  I probably won't get a job but I am so looking forward to just having fun with my friends and family!

I'm super excited about his fall though!! I am going to take a guitar class and I can't wait!! I dropped my Book of Mormon class in order to fit it in but I still have the same amount of credits (don't worry dad). My Uncle Matt is going to let me borrow his guitar too so I don't have to worry about any of that.

I also got some great news this week! My aunt and uncle are going to have a little baby boy!! I'm super excited!!!!! :D I love new cousins!! His name is going to be Cash Matthew!! The other exciting thing is that he is due in December and I get out of school then so I hopefully will be around to see him when he is tiny! It's so cool being so close to my family down in Utah.  This is the first time since I moved away that I am so close!! I absolutely love it!!

Oh and here's just a funny story I thought you might enjoy: So the other night I was woken up in the middle of the night by two girls screaming at each other.  And when I say screaming I mean SCREAMING!! I have no idea what it is that they were fighting about but I learned later that it wasn't the first time they had fought like that.  Then last night a police officer showed up and I learned that one of the girls had an attorney and was going to prosecute the other girl!! Isn't that insane??!! All of the issues that I had or thought that I had with my roommates seem so insignificant and silly now.  LOL! Dumb girls!!

Well, I don't think I have anything else to report. Life is going very well right now and I'm loving it!! I love you and I hope everything is going swell for you as well!! :D

Just Some New Info

Hi! Sorry that it took me so long to enter a new blog, I just feel like their should be something of great importance to constitute taking the time to write and for you to read.  So I am heading back down to Salt Lake City for fourth of July weekend and I am absolutely stoked! My Dad and Lexi flew down for the weekend so it will be the first time I get to see them since starting college! It is going to be so much fun! I am also excited to sleep in a big persons bed.  LOL. The dorm beds are only a twin and I can't wait to be able to stretch out while I sleep. Air conditioning will also be nice. :D

So since my last blog I have changed my fall class schedule around.  Currently I am scheduled to take the second half of Book of Mormon, Study Skills, General Psychology, Introduction to Humanities, English 101, and Geology 101.  I am pretty excited and nervous about my class schedule just because this will be the first semester that I will be taking a normal (according to my father :D) work load.  But I'm pretty confident in my ability to get things done.

Well, nothing else has really happened... Oh wait!! I started to read the Twilight series and I absolutely adore them!! You may not know this about me but I am a huge romantic and a true believer in love and I loved being engulfed with this love story!! I can't wait to read the second book!! 

Ok, I think that that covers pretty much everything.  No boys have come into my life, I have grown stronger friendships with some of the girls here, and I am keeping up quite easily with my classes.  I love you and I can't wait to see you! I hope everything is going well!

Love,

Kate

My Trip to Utah

Hey everyone!! So my trip to Utah went fantastic! I am so proud of myself for making it down there without getting lost! I actually was able to read and follow a map and everything!! :D This is a very big accomplishment for me since i have never driven in Utah before let alone found my way around! 

So visiting grandma and grandpa was absolutely wonderful.  My grandma is doing very well and I am so proud of her! Her motto is giving 110% to healing and following directions and that is exactly what she is doing.  She is going to be able to go home this friday and I am really excited for her.  I know that she will make a great recovery and will be back to normal soon.

My grandpa is also doing amazingly well.  He of course is pushing the limits with his leg but I didn't expect any less from him! He is a great man and I am proud to have him as my grandpa! He is very tough and strong, and with this accident I have noticed little positive changes in him that are fantastic.  He also is going to make a full recovery and I am very proud of him for doing so well.

So for July 4th I am going back down there and I can't wait to see everyone again.  I got to see some of my family but not too much of them and I am stoked to spend a lot of time with them! I love them so much and I am so thankful for them and their little quirks! My family is pretty sweet!!

Well, I haven't even started on my homework yet so I better get on it.  Love ya!!

Visiting the Fam

Hi everyone!! So nothing that new or exciting has really been going on.  I've come out of my shell a little more and have made more friends.  I've also started to hang out with people instead of just sitting in my dorm all day! :D It's pretty exciting! 

So this weekend I am heading down to Salt Lake City to visit everyone and see Grandpa and Grandma for the first time since last year! I'm really really excited and nervous since I'm going to have to drive down there by myself for the first time.  But I will figure it out and hopefully make it there safely.

School is going fine.  Nothing really new going on there. I signed up for my classes for the fall semester and I am going to take 16 credits.  I'm pretty nervous with that work load but my dad is convinced that I will be fine so we will see.  I'm taking english 101, psychology 101, humanitites 101, geology 101, Book of Mormon 122 (which is the second half of the class I'm taking now), and a sports psychology course that is more like a how to coach course I think.  I'm really excited,! Although I'm not looking forward to buying 7 text books! 

Well, I love you all and I hope you are doing well! See Ya!!

My Bad

I'm sorry that I haven't written a new blog in awhile. My mom got after me for not having anything written but nothing exciting has happened. It's pretty boring over here to be honest, which is probably my own fault.  I actually attempted to make my life more exciting by going to a dance last night but it was so ghetto.  My high school dances were bigger then that dance.  So my days consist of going to school, coming back to my dorm, doing homework and then I sit around.  Pretty dumb... But as my mom pointed out maybe it will be better in the fall.  

Well I guess I lied, there is something kinda new and exciting that is going to happen... Next semester I won't have to live in the dorms! I'm going to get an apartment! An apartment with PRIVATE ROOMS!! :D I'm really really excited about this! 

Well, time for me to go and get ready for the day of laying around.  Love ya!

My Presentation

So my presentation went AMAZINGLY WELL!! Just in case you don't know what 1 Nephi 3-5 discusses it is when Nephi and his brothers are commanded to go and get the brass plates from Laban.  Anyway, the question that I asked the class was: would Nephi still have been so strong spiritually and close to the Lord if he didn't have the constant opposition from Laman and Lemuel? The other question I asked is if Lemuel would have been a better person without Laman? The reason I asked the second question is because in 1 Nephi 3:28 it says how Lemuel was angry about their situation because Laman was angry.  :D Pretty good huh?! lol! It's amazing what you can do when you are guided by the spirit.  

So today we had a great devotional from Elder Spencer Jones.  It was of course amazing! He discussed (shoulda known) marriage.  LOL! It's amazing how that's all everyone around here talks about.  I'm staying away from the "M" word though.  :D

Oh my! I can't believe that I forgot to mention this before... My Book of Mormon professor look a lot like Mr. Taylor!! It's so freaky!! (For those of you who don't know Mr. Taylor was my Science teacher in high school).  It is really freaky!

Ok... Time for me to go and find something for dinner.  I love and miss all of you so very very much! I hope that everything is going well and if it isn't take it up with the Lord! :D 

Just another day...

So I don't really have any new and exciting news to tell ya.  I just thought that I needed to post something so that if you took the time to look you would be rewarded.  LOL! 

Tomorrow for my Book of Mormon class I have to give a presentation on 1 Nephi 3-5 and I'm pretty stressed out about it.  I have to either present a question that causes the class to go into a deep conversation or I have to present part of the scripture that struck me and show the teacher that I got interested and thought long and hard about it.  Well... I've read through the chapters a couple different times and I think that I have come up with some pretty good questions and personal insights.  Pray for me.  LOL! 

Tonight I get to meet my FHE family (Family Home Evening) and I'm kinda excited but mostly nervous.  I don't really feel like meeting more new people.  I hope I don't sound like a spoiled brat... cause I promise I'm not! I just don't really appreciate new people and having people pretend to care where you are from and what you are going to major in and all that.  But I will go and pretend to enjoy myself and maybe I will be surprised and totally enjoy myself and have a wonderful time! :D Ok... I'm done complaining. 

If you still haven't read those talks that I mentioned in a previous blog you better get on it! They will change your life! :D Love ya!! xoxoxoxo
