I survived.

So I did it. I survived my visit to my parents. It was really good to see my family. I really do love them so much. It was a nice, fairly relaxing time. Also, while I was home I took the GRE, so I had to spend a lot of my time studying for that. It was way long and hard. Took like 4 hours. But I did pretty well, above the minimum for the graduate schools I want to go to so thats really all the matters. :)

I had a lot of fun on new years too! I got to spend it with three of my favorite people, Elise, Bobby, and Sterling. Elise is one of my best friends and usually my roommate, but winter is her off semester so she is at home in Washington now and I'm here in Rexburg missing her. And Sterling is a very dear friend of mine that will be spending this semester in a study abroad program in Mexico. I am going to miss him so much. Bobby is here with me in Rexburg this semester, but I just love him and I'm glad he came along with us.

Here are some goals I've made for the new year/this semester:

- Graduate college

- Document this semester really well, through pictures and actually writing on my blog :)

- Find ways to show charity to those around me

- Get straight A's

- Get into grad school

- Have as much fun as possible!

Now here's some pics for ya from the break.

My brother, Jeremy, and I. This picture cracks me up. He really didn't want to take a picture with me, so I'm not surprised that I did not end up with any normal ones.

This is my dad and I. He thought the effects that the camera on my mac has were pretty hilarious. lol. But I thought I would put the normal one on here.
