My New Home.... D104

Due to my sisters request, yet again, I am blogging about my new apartment. I need to catch up with other things but I wanted to show my new home..... and it is the complete tour with lots of photos so you can feel like you are here.
My wonderful table, it was a rough ride to get this table to where it is today but after it barely fitting in the Camry and then having to replace it because IKEA directed us to get the wrong legs (which made it so the screws went through the top of the table) we were able to get the perfect table and I love it!
I may just be starting out but thanks to my graduation money and gift cards I am not starving.
My fridge is also full and the freezer is also full of meat thanks to my wonderful roommate Kaitlyn. We should have taken a picture but we looked gross because we were cleaning our apartment so I could take pictures and my mom is coming on Monday and I wanted her to see I could take care of myself.
The Kitchen...
Full view of the Kitchen.
Our lovely magnetic board, thanks Uncle Jonny!
Living Room with our secretary desk.
Living Room with our beautiful chair and couch provided by my roommie.
My favorite wall, the TV!!!!! And the decorations are pretty cute too.
Our front entry and part of our Living Room.
This is our printing and calendar station with our menu listed so we know what to cook.
Bathroom.... yeah it is never this clean so enjoy it because if you come to visit the chances of it looking like this are slim to none.
Clean shower and my cheap shower curtain with frogs on it telling us to go green, go environment!
Bathroom again...
This is how I dry my clothes... nothing really to do with the apartment but I was drying them today so I took a picture. I hang them on my doorway to my bedroom so I have to duck every time I need to go into my bedroom.
My personal favorite part of my apartment is that it comes with washer and dryer!
Kaitlyn's bed.... she has a really nice bed and loves to spend time in it.
Another shot of Kaitlyn's room...
Can you tell she is an English major? Look at that bookcase! She has already loaned me several books and I love it!
Another great thing about the apartment is that we both have linen closets... this Kaitlyn's. She was embarrassed that I took a picture because it was so messy but usually the door is closed.
My linen closet.... not very full because I have a massive closet that you will see soon.
My bed!
My huge closet! This is only one side...
and the other side.
Back wall of my bedroom, as you can see with my giant TV.
My art work that I am too lazy to hang so I just put it up against the floor.
Oh and I do work.... here is my busy schedule for those who think I just.... I don't know think I watch TV all day. Excuse some of the notes.... my friend Melanie decided to write goals down for me such as "Find a Date on V-Day" which I wasn't able to accomplish that goal. Sorry Melanie.
For those of you who don't know, I moved to Utah to substitute teach in the Davis County School District and am doing great and able to get a job almost every day! I love getting paid for what I got my degree in.... makes those 4 years worth it!
I don't watch TV all day but I did aquire this huge TV from Julianne. Josh, he son was going to shoot it but I took it off their hands. My dad said that I should have let him shoot it...
The left side of my room with all my jewelry boxes.
I hope you have enjoyed the tour!
I love my new home but still miss my other home in Idaho, I am excited I get to go visit so often and only live 3 hours away.

Fantastic Fall 2012 Part I: Idaho Friends

Another fashion show at Christopher and Banks. It is always a party when Sydney and Sarah come along and act goofy with me!
We are so cute!
I went to I-night and got to see Kirby Hewborne perform (sorry for the sideways picture)
We are so excited to see Kirby!
Oh Sydney Schlosser! She was so proud of her director name tag! I am so proud of my bestie taking after my footsteps and becoming a director.
We got to see two of the most amazing people get married: Martin and Megan. They are a crazy bunch and we had to draw a mustache on Martin's face and then blame it on David. I love these two and Megan looked beautiful!
The Bride and me.
The crazies and me...
It is always good to go to a wedding and get to see old friends! I loved seeing Lacey there, she is amazing!
Oh course I love my Sarah Mann! She is special....

Fall was full of wonderful memories and this was just the start.
I moved to Utah in August to do my student teaching at Bountiful Jr. High. I lived me my Aunt Maryanne and Uncle Mark and there amazing daughters Crystal and Britany. I loved having two little sisters and walking to school with Britany everyday. I had an amazing experience and feel in love with the students I taught. I couldn't stand to be away so I moved back to Utah to substitute teach and go back and teach my students.

Yellowstone and Utah Friends and Family are coming...

Sensational Summer 2011

For my 22nd Birthday we dressed up and went to Johnny Carnio's to celebrate. I love all my roommates who came and supported me!
My two besties, David and Sydney! I was sad that Sarah was out of town that weekend and couldn't come celebrate with us.

The whole gang outside of Johnny's!
As a Birthday present from Johnny's, they gave me turtle cheesecake and it was delicious. I love Sydney's face in this picture!
Some of the greatest people you will ever meet!
This is at the Jocks vs Nerds dance with David and Sarah. Sorry the picture is turned and I am too lazy to fix it.... there are more pictures turned the right way than the wrong way.
Sarah and I.... love this girl!
Another picture turned the wrong way.... Me with my bestie Syd!
Neils and Susan had there mission farwell at the beginning of Summer semester and I was glad Sydney could be there with us. She loves my Mom, she even calls her "Mom."
Social Board was again a huge part of my life. I was a director this semester and had an amazing team working with me. I love each of these people so much and they are amazing for all they do.
I didn't take very many pictures this semester so there was a lot that I missed on camera, so here are so highlights:
My last semester at BYU-Idaho
Amazing Retreat where the BOBCATS reunited (aka my old band) and performed
Meeting the amazing Sarah Mann
Sunday dinner's with the Mann's and watching Jane Austin movies
Competed in a Lazy Man Iron Man and Finished a Tri-a-Tri in 1:10:13
An amazing Birthday where my roommates got me Toms, David and Sarah got me a cat shirt and a mixed tape, and Sydney got Mean Girls!
Sunny Days in Idaho Fall where we had BBQ in the fire pit, played on the tramp, worked in the yard, and had a great 4th of July weekend
Farmers Market every Friday with bike rides and trips to the DI
Mystery Dinner
My birthday Mocktail party and David and Sarah making me Sushi
Summer Solstice
Bonfire at the Dunns and Fire Blowing with wax
Harry Potter Midnight Premiere and dressing up like Hermonie and Syd dressing up like Snape

It was an amazing Summer!
