Enduring to the End (of the semester...3 weeks left!)

although i feel i really am enduring to the end here, this semester has flown by. part of me is really excited, but i'm also kind of dreading moving again. not as much the move, just the act of moving into a new apartment while i'm working and such. fun. time really does fly- this will be my 5th semester living here already. if anyone wants to put in some extra prayers that i pass my juries and finals this semester- i won't be upset :)

EMILY'S MISSION CALL!!

so, my biggest news isn't actually my news, but my best friend emily has been living with me for 3 semesters, so i feel like it is :) she finally recieved her mission call- to Cape Verde Praia Mission, it's on these little islands of the west coast of Africa. She'll be speaking Portuguese. Emily is so thoughtful when it comes to people and social work, and i can't think of a better place for her to go save the world than a 3rd world country. i pretty much cried for an hour when she got this call. And i wonder if i'll end up going on a mission as well, i can turn my own papers in in about a year and 2 months i think- so i'm getting excited at the idea of it. we'll see. i would love to travel at this point in my life- i'm actually going to be (hopefully) going to work at the Drum Corps International Champs this November moving equipment and what not with the other percussion majors and staying down there (it's back further east) for a week. it'll be pricy, but the thought of it makes me SO excited...i don't think i can turn down that opportunity.

anyway...sorry i got sidetracked. here's us after emily rose opened her call. She has 7 brothers and sisters and a couple friends who wanted to hear all at the same time, so she kept a couple phones on her lap on speaker, and we as the roommates got to be talking to everyone else :) i think kim (her sister) is extra excited, because she just got back from her Swiss mission a little less than a year ago.

love you emily rose!!


Matchy Sunday!!

--this is just something we did for fun, and we definitely turned heads :) haha

--prety sure janae and i looked a bit matchy too on our date/concert night

sometimes we just like to pretend to nap on the couch in that 15 mins between classes

at least cami looks good in this picture

BAND GEEK PICTURES!!!

sometimes, i actually miss high school band. this helped me get back into the spirit of it all. thank you to emily for letting me borrow the harry potter glasses

NATIONAL CORN DOG DAY PARTY!!

bet you didn't know this existed. neither did i, but kim seems to be really on top of these things. we totally had a party.

and....our AMAZING PROJECT:

cami and i had to make a video for our music technology class. we decided to make it a music video, and used kim's spin-off of "Good Morning Baltimore" from Hairspray about BYU-Idaho. we're pretty proud of this, and i've made tons of new best friends from it on facebook. if you didn't see it on there, you should watch it now.
