Letters :)

Hello Friends!! It has been a while since I have updated this blog! I am convinced that BYUI is a time worp, Only Four weeks left! Bitter sweet, Bitter to leave friends, BUT Super SWEET to see my family again! Finally!

A good day for letters! Today, on our way to grocery store, Miriam and I made a quick stop to the mail box. Found two letters today, One from my sweet sister, and another from an old friend who just recently left  on mission. Letters are so fun to recieve and even more fun to write back!

Kysa is very good at making her letters colorful and fun, as you can see by the Huge heart :) I think she may love me! Also she included fun pictures from her very first youth confrence.

Feel free to write me in my four weeks left in Rexburg!

My roommate and I before going grocery shopping (notice the backpacks) Kinda hard getting around without a car but on warm sunny days like today we were excited to get out in the sun! Also people are so nice here, when seeing us loading up our backpacks people will offer us rides back to the appartment. Hope everyone has a great week!

Sunday Evenings

How grateful I am for roommates! Every semester I have been blessed with awesome roomies and this semester is no exception! When we are all together we can laugh for hours, my face will hurt from smiling so much. On one of the first nights together we all sat down at the table to eat pizza, we didn’t eat very much because we were too busy cracking jokes and laughing. It is such a good feeling coming back from classes to fun and lively roommates.    Last night Kyle and I went on a brother sister date! He had the intentions of going dancing, but we ending up going on a walk through the gardens and the apple orchards. On the pathway we stumbled on a huge piles of dimes! Naturally we picked them all up, found a tractor to sit in and count our treasure. We had enough to get two frozen yogurts, on the walk back we past the same spot we found the jackpot and there was another pile there! We looked up down and all around no one was in sight. So on top of the frozen yogurts we got some yogurt covered pretzels, and an almond joy bar to share. Great night with a great brother!    Today was slow and peaceful, Miranda is teaching me to play the guitar! We went to the park, and now I can play three different cords.. slow and steady progress!

She is a great teacher!

Camping

 The sun came out and with it so did our tent, sleeping bags and marshmallows! One of the things to do on 314s bucket list was to go camping! We finally set the date and began planning. At 7:15 I came back from  a grueling two hour test, to the hustle and bustle of packing up the car, with Miranda ( anxious to go) hurring everyone out the door. Three of my roommates this semester are from Rigby and Menan, so they knew the perfect spot to go camping, right next to the snake river. The night was filled with scary stories, laughter, smores, and campfire singing. All in all a wonderful night with wonderful people!

The Tent!

Our Little Garden

All set and ready to start my third semester at BYU Idaho! My new roommate Miriam Berry came on Saturday morning, We had fun catching up and getting her all moved in.

 Also! Miriam and I started our very own garden! We used our ice container for a pot for our onions, we wanted to plant the flowers we have, but there was not enough room. The solution?? Get more ice cream! Hopefully we can finish it off quickly, so we can watch the flowers grow... Between Miriam and I.. I dont think that will be a problem :)
 Im excited for this semester! Im taking a Advanced writing and Critical thinking class, Teachings of a living Prophets, Issues in Global Climate Change, World Foundations Two, Career Exploration, and best for last.... Beginning Clogging class. Cant wait to get started!

Made it!

Woohoo! With the help of wonderfully supportive  friends, family, conference talks and delicious ice cream, I have reached the end of my second semester! The end is always bitter sweet. Bitter to say goodbye to friends, especially thoes leaving on missions. But I am happy for the times that we have spent, and looking forward to seeing them again. Sweet because... No More Homework!! :) This week I am staying in Rexburg to work and rest for the next semester, starting on the 17th. All of my roommates have cleaned up and moved out, Its a little weird coming back each day to an empty appartment, so different from the commotion that comes with living with five girls! Its a good opportunity to read, knit, get organized and some quality time with the worlds best older brother Kyle.

Riding a Bike (:

The Proper way to get on a bike

By: Kyle Lee Wagner

Set the peddle halfway

Stand on right side of bike

Place left foot on peddle

Lean to the right 

Push off with Right foot

Glide, Glide and Glide

Swing right leg over Seat

According to Kyle there are only two ways to get on a bike.

1.) The Cool way

2.) The Lame way

Who would have thought that after 20 years of bike riding I had never done it correctly? Today Kyle let me ride 'his' bike. After watching me get on, he told me that I was doing it all wrong. "Its crucial that you know how to get on a bike properly for potential bike riding dates." Kyle

So Tonight he taught me... Its harder than it looks! 

Approaching

Peddle half way

Cross left Foot over (Kyle is good at balancing the bike.. for safty)

Swing Right leg WHILE leaning to the right

Final test, ride to Kyle (notice no one is balancing the bike)

Gliding

YES!!!!

Getting off Gracefully? Not so much 

(Thanks Seth for providing a bike for this noble cause! No harm or damage was inflicted, its in perfect condition)

Spring has arrived!

The great thing about living through an winter in Idaho is... (any guesses?) the first day of spring! The sun  came out this week, and it was so wonderful! Two of my favorite things to do in the sun
1. Swinging! My appartment is just across the street from a park with a set of swings, I LOVE swinging! When I am on a swing I feel like I can fly, that if I can just stretch my feet out an inch more my toes (you have to swing without shoes to get the full effect) could touch the sky.
2. Hiking R ( Rexburg) Mountian. This weekend I went with some friends to hike R mountain, the view is amazing, the Rexburg temple with the Teton Mountains in the background. I would encourage all to hike it sometime :)
