I am back at BYU! The summer was so fun spending time with my family in Texas, visiting Fossil Rim (a drive-thru zoo), getting sneezed in the mouth by a Zebra (actually that part wasn't so fun), spending 5 days in San Diego with my Grandma, and being reunited with my roommates!!

Zebra- one time at fossil rim, i held my sister Brooke out the window and a zebra bit her. oops! and I also got sneezed in the mouth by one. sick. sick. sick.

I've also been making a lot of goals for myself... especially since I'm back in college. I've heard it helps to write them down and share them so you and others can keep track of how you're doing.

• NEVER have leftovers. If I make something one day, and have leftovers, I have to keep eating it the next day and the next day until its gone before I can make anything else.
• Read 1-2 chapters from the Book of Mormon every day.
• Exercise for 30 minutes every day, and do 50 crunches a day.
• "Eat out" only once a week. (unless its for free :) )
• One dessert a week, serving of fruit and vegetables every day
  
• No more than $80 spent on groceries a month
• Homework has to be done the day before its due.
• Pay a full tithe on gross income, pay a fast offering every month.
• No name calling, even in play
• NO TWIRLING HAIR!! or picking at nails
• Write in journal once a week
  

Summer Summer Summer!

So I finished up spring semester at the Y, taking 2 civilization classes, classic civ, and greek mythology (both GEs). And I loved them both!

We sold the house, and then they backed out, and then we sold the house again, and then they backed out again, and now we are just waiting and praying for everything to work out!

We flew down to Dallas on July 10th, and we have just been partying it up ever since! Partying it up meaning, swimming, watching TV, and sleeping. There isn't much to do around here when you're in temporary housing haha! But the moving trucks came yesterday, so we will probably move into our house in the next couple days, as soon as we get most of the house unpacked.

Not quite sure when i'm heading back to BYU. I had a job interview yesterday with the Open - Access computer labs, and I'm hoping and praying that I get it. Whether or not I got that job is the deciding factor in when I go back, because if I don't get the job, I have shifts at the cougareat on Monday the 16th. Otherwise, i will fly back later. The next week i get to go visit my grandma Layne down in Carlsbad!! CALIFORNIA HERE I COME!!
