College!

Here are some pictures from LDS Business College my first semester in 2006




We're at our first school dance



Inside the Conference Center before Conference. It was my first time listening to conference in person. Such a great experience. I remember President Hinkley waving his cane to everyone as he walked by the stands. His is so cute, I love him!



Outside after General Conference



We are dressed up for 80s night at a club. We went to the DI or some store like that to get cheap 80s alfits. They have some interesting things there... it was fun. We got all ready and someone said that it wasn't very far but ended up walking forever and it was a wet and freezing night. We ended up getting a ride by some guy that us girls didn't really know but the guys we were with knew him. He dropped us off and we waited in line forever to get in. In line there was a whole bunch of weirdos and we were not sure if we really wanted to go anymore, but we were there already so we were going to go. We finally got to the front of the line and find out that we have to have our I.D. to get in and we left our purses and stuff in the guys truck. We had to get out of line and wait around while the guys we were with walked far to the guys truck to get our stuff. By the time he had gotten our stuff we decided we didn't want to go after all because we weren't too excited about dancing with nasty guys that were drinking and smoking.... That was the last time I have ever gone to a club and will my last, but on the bright side it was an adventure and we had fun getting ready =)


Ready to go to a Halloween Party

It's Halloween! This is my first roommate dressed up as a cute devil angel. I was dressed up as a cat.... Classic



This is Jackie, Bruce, and I before going to Midget Ville. Those of you that are from Utah I'm sure have heard of it. Well I had never heard of it until I came to Utah so I had to go. We dressed in dark clothes and quietly walked around their houses. They just looked like normal smaller homes. The doors weren't smaller and neither were the mail boxes or anything. I was kind of disapointed but we did end up seeing a small person get in his car so it does exist, but all it is is a neighborhood where midgets live, nothing like what people make it seem like. Not as exciting as people make it sound but it was so fun just sneaking around and having fun with my friends. Now looking back I feel bad... If I were them I would hate people like us sneaking around my neighborhood.... I'm much more mature now ; )



This is a picture of my closest girl friends in my first semester. It was a lot of fun with them. That night was our last night together before going home for Christmas break. We through a little surprise going away party for Charlie (top left) because she wasn't going to be coming back the next semester because she was going to be getting married

This is the beautiful view I got to enjoy right outside the balcony of our dorm room. If you can't tell, there is two big dumpsters and a parking lot that always had road construction going on... not the prettiest, but I thought it was pretty fun. We would always just toss our trash over our balcony because we were too lazy to take it all the way down there... I guess there was a benefit of our very ugly view haha

This on the other hand was not an ugly view. Our dorms were just a block away from temple square. I loved it because I would go to temple square all the time and just admire the beautiful temple. I'm so grateful for temples and the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints! =)

Catching up

Ok I thought having a blog would be a good idea and I'm really not sure where to start. Well I'll start by catching you up fast on what's been going on in my life the past few years. After graduating from Ridgeview High School (in Bakersfield, CA) in 2006 I went to LDS Business College to start my generals. For those that don't know LDSBC is in downtown Salt Lake City, UT. It was a great experience and a fun two years. I tried to balance out hanging out with friends, dating, and school... and some how I managed ;) I graduated on April 10, 2008. I was accepted to BYU Provo as a transfer student and will be attending there this coming fall as a Jr. which is very exciting! I can't wait to start my major. I want to be a marriage and family therapist and hope that I can help in any way to keep families together and happy. I'm not sure exactly what my life is going to bring, but whatever comes along I'm excited and it will be great! Life is a blast!!!

As of right now, I'm home in Bakersfield, CA for the summer. I'm working as a secretary for a small company. I'm loving spending time with my family. Camie and Juan just had a little baby girl on May 22. Her name is Leyna and she is absolutely beautiful! My little niece Alaura (Brooke and Eric's daughter) is beautiful as ever and my little brother Caiden is getting so hansom and big. It's crazy to see how fast these precious little kids grow. My dad got a job in UT in March and has been there since. My mom, little sisters, and little brother will be following him as soon as the house gets sold or rented. It's exciting that they will be moving to UT but really hard to leave Brooke and Camie (especially their little ones) Well that's about everything that's going on right now =)

I'll keep you posted with new things that are happening and as soon as I get the hang of this thing I'm going to try and post some pictures of the last few years =)
