Communications!!

So basically Jessica and I had a blast making rice balls, talking about boys and laughing alot!! She is so cool, definately glad that she is one of my friends.

Marie loves us!

Marie got baptized this last weekend. She deffinately enjoyed both Travis and I being over alot!

My temple

I love coming to Rexburg and seeing my temple up on the hill for all to see!

The joys of college!!

I got a new job while I am up here at school, and I got to sweep the whole first floor by the end...

I was wearing my colorguard gloves so you can see the film of dirt on my hands.

I kind of pretend that I am engaged and go to bridal shows in this area. So far I have won 150$ worth of mineral makeup, 50$ pre paid visa card, and 150$ worth of mary kay products!

Lastly there is coming home and all the kids wanting to see me even when it is crazy early in the morning!!

Wonderful Weather!!

The weather here is getting really nice (knock on wood) I have been able to walk outside in t-shirts!! It is warming up, I can see the sidewalk, and all last night it rained. Bad part we realized is that the rain caused a tumor looking puddle in our wall paper! Good thing its Amanda's bed not mine underneath!! Just kidding!

Another Bridal Show!!

My roommates and I go to bridal shows pretending to be engaged, while eating free samples, getting coupons, and alot of free stuff!! Well, of course why not try on some wedding dresses!! :)

What happens when boys come over!!

You guessed it the crimper comes out and they look like they stepped out of an 80's film!!

Valentines Day Surprise!!

8:30am Valentines Day...Amanda walks in and says "Kim there are a couple people at the door for you. (Yes I am in my pink polka dot pjs and my hair and glasses are crazy looking!)
I go to the front door where there is these two people that I have no clue who they are with a heart shaped box of chocolates and a cute little bear. They told me I am suppose to push the foot of the bear and it started singing "I can't get enough of you baby, yes its true!" while the rose in its hand spun so fast that it would flash messages of I love you and hearts! As the song came to an end the two unknown people told me to lift up the box. I look over and there is this huge red wrapped box that comes up easily to about half a foot above my belly button. As I started to lift it I recognized my Travis's shoes. Shocked at him being here to see me, I drop the box back on him (oopps)! As he was uncovered he had a rose and a card in his hand! Kisses, hugs, and songs of love and adoration were exchanged between us! The perfect weekend...My love of my life and me watching movies, playing chutes and ladders, going to church, eating Thia food, and just being with eachother! Valentines Day is not as stupid as I use to think it was...

This week in a nutshell

I came home this last weekend and it was amazing cause I realized my love for snowmobiling!! But I know Travis warned me not to, but I loved sliding on the ice...as a result...(See picture)!

Thought for today, be careful to not get bored in class! Side effects may include drowsiness, incredible hunger and a skin discoloration of silver!

My View

My view everyday is of a beautiful temple. I get to see it also when it is dark outside when I am going to class on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday! I love have that beautiful house of God so close and within view at every building!

Roommates!

Oh man I love my roommates so much. Our personalities match so well. I think they are really sweet, and I am glad they do not have a bubble so when we sit to talk we are a big mass of bodies on the couch:) I think it is so wonderful that everything has worked out, and that this was inspired to have us room together. But I am missing my family a ton...and I do love webcaming them which I did for the first time today (Not to easy to do if you have all your younger brothers and sisters shouting questions all at the same time)! I am missing Travis and seeing him. I talk onto the phone...don't worry dad it is after nine or it is on the weekend...but I just love being in his presence! I miss EVERYONE...yes Celeste you are included!! I miss you guys and will keep this updated a lot better!!

My life as a college student

Moving day was yesturday, and my whole life is right there in that one picture (disincluding the people that make my life interesting and wonderful)! Oh, and if you notice what is in the background of this picture...my parents are turning my bedroom into a weight room! They started moving in things before I was even gone, but I guess it will help with the process of me not living at home anymore. I love my family so much and I will miss them even more!

YMCA Christmas Run

Travis and I ran 2.5 miles, for the YMCA Christmas Run. It is was snowy and very cold, but both of us were good sports. Travis being in shape was able to go alot faster than me, but although my many times I told him to go ahead, he still continued to stay by me the whole way!! I think it was really sweet of him to do that, even though I told him not to!

...Its off to school I go

I have been working like crazy it seems, and it is getting hard to have a calm life it seems. I am leaving to school in less than 2 weeks, and it is kind of freaking me out a little. My roomates seem AMAZING!! I have already chatted with them, and it basically rocks that they are happy outgoing people like me. Yesturday I did a Christmas Run with Travis...not to bad besides the freazing cold, ice covered streets, and me having a really bad cold :) But I servived and we were able to complete the 2.5 miles in 24 min! I have a picture of us on my parents camera, so I will post it as soon as I can get my hands on their memorie card!!
Tales of a distressed soon to be college student

Pre-school!!

Oh man...today when helping out my mom with pre-school, I realize that I loved being little because...
I get yummy snacks during snack time
Singing songs is fun to do, fun to do, to do, to do
Nap times should be reinstated for 18 and older
My biggest worry was if I could name my barbie Rose
And where I was small enough to sit on my moms lap when ever I wanted
~Dreamings of a Little Big Kid~

My mom and ODD numbers

I guess I am just an odd person, when it comes to eating, TV volume, or other random things I prefer odd numbers...unline my mom. Just a couple days ago I was getting snacks for work. We had some mini donuts and I was not sure if I should get five or seven, so I asked my mom. My mom said I should get four or six. SO...I got the happy medium, Five. As my mom came back into the kitchen, she grabs the bag, realizes I did five, opens the bag, and stuffs the fifth donut in my mouth. Leaving the grand total of donuts in my bag as an even number. I guess I should be a little less ODD!!

Institute (My new sanctuary)

I am taking institute at BSU until I leave for College in January. I am taking Book of Mormon part 2, Lasting Relationships, Enrollment Committee, and Parables of Jesus Christ. I love each of them so much and know that this is going to help me in my eternal progression!! www.lds.org/institutes I know that this can change my life for the better!! Definitely I recommend this to everyone!

EFY for me

Lets just say I had an AMAZING TIME!! I don't think I could sum up everything that I did unless I just copied and pasted my spiritual journal right onto this website!! But here are a few pictures of my company(2 groups of girls and 1 group of guys)!! Here is what is in each of these pictures in order! First is my counseling group at pizza night!! This next picture is of my whole company...and then there is the picture of my three counselors (the red one is over my individual group though! At Utah State there is a ton of crazy out there statues, which the one all of my friends are on we called it the French Fry, because that is what it looked like! Lastly is the guys in our group that came and performed at the choir practice and performance with us!! It was really great, and I even got to perform a duet with Caryssa for a whole song.
I enjoyed every min. of my trip and I would not want to take away one moment!! I love the gospel, and I know with a surety that it is true!

Institute...

"It's like seminary for big people!" I explained to Erica, my little sister. "You know what seminary is right?" I asked..."Wait...its like church as a school class?" Erica asked back. "Yes it is but...we have it every Wednesday night!" "Like Mutual, but not because it is like seminary, right?" "RIGHT! Now do you understand?" "Yap"
Wow yea now that I think about it, that would have been really confusing for me even at this age in my life!! But, I love institute! I get to feel a strong spirit every time I go, helping me get through the crazy times of the week! Today we learned about Personal Revelation, and although I can improve by a hundred fold, I am so glad a receive it on a day to day basis!! I love the church, Lord, and my loving family!
Pondering Thoughts of a Tired Young Adult

An eventful day!!

The day started off with me working as a lifeguard, and I had a shadow with me (a person that needs more exsperience so they follow around a head guard)! So as that was going on, my friends including my boyfriend come to play at the park!! I got off of work at three thirty, so I was able to go and play with them. I guess I must have a sign on my forehead or something that says dunk me, because I was the automatic target when heading into the water! We had a blast, even though Travis basically made me go on avalanche, which for anyone that knows me I don't have a fear of heights but I have a really bad fear of falling. Not a very fun exsperience!! Oh, but as my friends and I came out of the river about to go on the family ride, Travis thought it would be fun to be spontanious and pick me up and drop me in the sand pit and give me a fast roll in it!! Water + Sand = Magnet to anything it is touching, and of course I was covered in it!! He is in big trouble!! Oh, but luckily I washed off at the ride, but still...
After that we were all going to go to institute, but some of my friends decided not to, so Travis and I are going anyway!! Travis is driving my grandpa's/my car and we are driving down the road when Travis realized the car was vearing really far to the right....as we get on the freeway, we get down to about around the temple when, *Pop* the left front tire blows! I am so glad he was driving, but he was able to put on the spare, and while he was fixing it a nice cop came by. The cop just asked if we had everything under control, and then told us to have a good day! Well, we headed back home on the freeway, and Travis said, What if we blow another tire?!?! Of course ten seconds later the spare tire blows out, right as we are about under the locust grove overpass!! Yea, I think this is a sign we are not suppose to go to institute today! :) Oh, so my mom calls a toe truck and we wait in the car for about a half an hour. That was definately a crazy day, and I definately did not have one ounce of energy at the end of this day!!
