Haven't blogged in a while.

So... I haven't blogged in some time.

So I thought I'd catch ya'll up.

I've finished my second semester of college!!

It was a good one :]

In someways better then the first, but overall a completely different experience.

I wasn't an emotional wreck this time.

I mean I had some tough times, but college is hard!

Seriously... I didn't do quite as well as I  would have liked but I did wayyy better then I thought I'd do.

I slept a lot more this semester... Summer semester I never slept and when I went home I literally zonked out.

This time I cant sleep at alll.

I wake up at 7 on the dot every morning.

I learned a lot this semester.

I learned a lot about myself and my Savior.

Ive learned to love to read the scriptures.

We never really studied them at home, so when I started my Book of Mormon class I learned more then I ever have in my life.

I loved my dance class.

I hadnt danced since February and I felt it at first.

But I slowly improved.

I also had the best ward.

I loved my summer ward.

But this ward is amazing.

The thing about Helaman is you know all the girls in your relief society.

And you meet a lot more of the guys.

Ive realized I like meeting people.

I love having friends all over.

So next semester thats what Im going to do.

Make friends everywhere.

Preferably guys in heritage... they have kitchens ;)

I think the main thing that has hindered me both summer and fall was the fact that I wanted a best friend. I have awesome friends, dont get me wrong.

I have made some awesome best friends at BYU.

But something I've wanted since middle school is that one best friend that you do everything with.

I know I have one awesome built in best friend.. Sydney.

And she is awesome.

But I've always wanted that friend that I'm not related too.

Do you know what I mean?

I have Whitney and Mary-Catherine.

And they are the best friends that you can ever have.

So dont get me wrong.

I dont know how to explain it because it is hard too.

But I've never really fit in anywhere.

I get a long with everyone mostly.

But I still feel kinda distant from them.

But I should be more thankful.

And stop trying to force that friend.

I did that during the summer.

With a person that I wont name.

But Im going to realize that its okay just to have friends everywhere.

And start being more appreciative of the friends I do have.

I think I'll be a lot happier if I do that.

My sister is home :]

She had to come early from her mission.

She retore her ACL a year ago.

The doctor says its a miracle that she walked so long on it.

But God blessed her to finish the work that she needed to do.

And she did.

I have felt so many blessings from her going on a mission.

It was weird when she was released.

It made me sad...

But I'm glad that she is back :]

And I'm excited to go on my own mission.

I love being home. 

I love being with my family and being in Louisiana.

It feels so good outside :]

I got a new camera! 

A nikon d300.

It is beautiful!

Im excited to start the new semester.

To take the things that I have learned.

And to make it better :]

Heres so pics!
