The hammock purchase just keeps getting better and better. 

 Trying to find a hammock. 

 Found a new fish too, welcome Kuzco!

Hammock success. Walmart was too good to us tonight. 

A Whirlwind of College Life

This blogging thing is giving me a real tough time lately. I blame it on the fact that I still feel like I am on break. School? What's that. I also blame it on the fact that my phone wouldn't connect to my computer so I couldn't get the pictures for a while. But hey, I am going to do another nice little recap of my life. Hopefully after today I will go back to posting a picture a day. I need to keep up on all my crazy adventures. For example, yesterday I had three or four different things to go to and did I successfully capture those moments? Nope. Fail. Over it. Time to try again. 

August 28-

 It's official. I cleared my background check for my major. Watch out.

Football game by day and soccer game by night. Win over Weber State and then the Woman's soccer game took a big win over #6 Penn State. All to an attendance breaking crowd. Good day to be  a BYU fan.

 

And Here We Go Again

    My life has clearly not been as exciting since being back from Europe. I took a break from blogging because I felt there wasn't anything to actually blog about after I had blogged about castles and cathedrals for so long. But I am glad to say I am back. Today was the first day of my junior year of college. Uh what? Is this real life? I am an upperclassman in college. I am pretty sure I was just a junior in high school. Not college. I am here though, going to BYU trucking a long. I can definitely tell that I have done all this before. I scrounged up a notebook this morning, looked at the building my classes were in right before I left, then accidently left the paper at home, didn't care because I would figure it out, I went to work (at 5:30am!), visited the temple, saw probably a billion people I knew on campus, did a few things for my major all before class even started. Now I am home for about an hour before I go out to FHE. What a day it has been and it is not even dark out!

    Well, anyways, enough of my first day of school. I know you all have been dying to know what I have been up in the past couple weeks even though it doesn't take place in Great Britain. Here is a little random recap:

 Portland. Vintage shopping. Voodoo doughnuts. 

 Nike Employee Store. A version of Heaven.

Bow and arrows with Kelsey. 

 A wedding.

A new Awful Waffle.  

 Starting my new job at the Law Library. 

 Costco trips.

 New cars and apartment complex with my cousin.

Pool parties in mansions. 

Getting my fish, Josh, back. 

Boating with some new and old friends.

Infamous first day of school picture. (After the long day might I add.)

Bring it on junior year!
