Awesome Concert!!

D'laney and I decided to attend the awesome concert here at BYU-I called Guitars Unplugged.  The concert consists of students performing songs with their guitars, and they do such a wonderful job! My favorite would have to be the "Pick up line song".  It was a song performed by two guys and they were trying to teach men how to us pick ups the right way verses using them inappropriately.  It was very clever and entertaining!!

But I'm pretty sure D'laney and I had way more fun getting ready for the concert.  I dressed up as rocker as I could; with my Skin tshirt with my tight jeans and hot pink and black high top Convers sneakers!! :D and D'laney had to do my hair and make-up of course!! 

I Should Be Fired

I am SOOOOO sorry for not keeping up with my blog.  I am such a loser. :D I'm not trying to make excuses for my neglect but I have been pretty busy lately and when I'm not busy I never think to update my blog.  So I'm very sorry and I will definitely not be winning the "best blogger" award.  Hehe.

So school is going really well.  My schedule isn't too hard or busy which is wonderful.  I'm currently taking 14 credits--psychology 101, english 111, public speaking, intro to guitar, and study skills-- which isn't too difficult.  Sometimes I feel like I should be taking more classes until I'm working on homework for what feels like forever.  Lol! 

My roommates and living conditions are fabulous as well!! One of my roommates is an old friend from back home and she is absolutely wonderful!!! I didn't know her that well when we were young women together and getting to know her better and spending more time with her is great. I was really surprised to find out that we are very similar.  We are both OCD about a lot of silly things and it's great that she understands when I like things in a certain order or in a certain way.  She doesn't criticize me but rather says stuff like, "Oh my gosh! Me too!!" or "I do the exact same thing!!".  It's great. 

My other roommates are pretty awesome too.  One of them is a senior who has an obsession with bluegrass and she can play the fiddle. Two of them are freshmen from Utah who are very motivated about school at the moment and are usually in their room working on homework. And my last roommate is pretty much engaged to this guy who is always here.  They make me sick... lol. Jk!

So I took some pictures for you so that you could see how great my apartment is (especially compared to the disgusting dorms!!) There's a picture of my room, the bathroom that I share with two of my roomies, kitchen, dining area, and the living room.  It's pretty boring when it comes to decoration but I love it!! 

Well, I hope you enjoy this blog cause who knows when I'll update it again.  Hehe. I love you all and miss all of you like crazy!! I hope life is treating you right!! Love ya!!

SLC

So I've been having a great time down here in SLC. Matt and Amber have been amazing in keeping me entertained and allowing me to to hang out with them.  Since being here I've gotten good meals numerous times, mini golfed, watched movies, swam with the cousins, and just gotten to see and spend time with my family.  I love my family so much!!

Grandma and grandpa are worried that I've been bored while being here and that they aren't entertaining me well enough which isn't the case at all.  I really enjoy just chilling and relaxing with them.  It's been really awesome getting to know them more and being able to spend so much time with them.  :D

Well I thought that I would have more to say since it's been so long since I've blogged but this is about it.  Starting tomorrow me and grandpa have a couple projects that need to get done.  We are going to build a couple shelves for their closed and the bookcases downstairs. And we also have to fix the the fence that that dim wit broke when he tried to still grandpas truck. So this will for sure be an adventure.

Well, love ya! Thanks for checking out my blog! 

Life in Mayberry

So before I begin I would first like to apologize for not posting anything for such a long time.  I really don't have a justifiable excuse other then laziness. :D My bad!

So after coming back to Lind for a 3 week visit I have no clue how I managed to survive!! Lind is so unbearably boring!!! My friends are all busy with work and everything that they don't really have time for me.  Lol. And when they do have time, they are so tired from working and everything that they don't really want to do anything other then sit on the couch and socialize. But I can't really blame them, what else is there to do?! 

But with all of this it has been really good seeing my peeps and my family.  I am so ready to go though! My parents and I are trying to figure out certain guidlines and rules that I should follow since I am now on my own.  Of course I don't think I should have to be home at a certain time, but after I came home at 3 in the morning and having my mom chastise me, I figured out that they have a very different view on the matter.  So we have been having an almost silent argument or fight about this and I can't wait to be on my own again! But of course I still laugh at them and find this whole situation a little entertaining! :)

Well, I'm going back to SLC next week and I'm super excited but also wary of the boredom that may be waiting me there.  All in all, I can't wait to go back to school!!

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!!
