A New Start

Making that transition between high school and college has a lot of emotions, it can be exciting, carefree, fun, scared, or lonely.  I can tell you right now I am way excited.  This is a new chapter in my life and although it may be a challenge at times and I may get homesick, I know that it is going to be a blast!  I moved my stuff down today and I loved it!  I met one of my roommates, Gwen from New Jersey.  She was so sweet and it made me that much more ready for this new change.  Change can be scary but I feel like as long as I go into this change with a positive attitude I will get more positive results.

Here is my stuff spread out in our living room at home.  This wasn’t even all of it.  I didn’t realize how much stuff you have to take!

Here is my room and closet.  It is really empty looking right now because I was in a hurry moving in today but I’ll post more pictures when it gets more complete.  I didn’t get a picture of my bathroom but it is the same…very empty.

Vacation

Each year we go on a little family vacation and this year we went to Jackson Lake.  It started out with a long drive that consisted of watching movies and Charlie…

Lovin’ Life :)

This last weekend I went to Island Park with Jacob.  We headed up Friday and went to the Play Mill both nights which was hilarious.  He surprised me many times and we had a blast :)  DSC00326

Saturday morning we went to the top of the mountain and watched the sunrise.  It was so wonderful.  Then we went fly fishing with Josh and Brenton and yes that is the fish I caught…I was proud of it :)
