I am going to help start Rexburgs first official series of Farmers Markets. Awesome huh?

It rained, snowed, hailed, fogged, and was sunny today. ahhhhhh. At least I have an umbrella ella ella a a a

So the first week is finished already! And the weather hasnt been terrible, maybe it'll really be summer term... who knows. I really enjoy all of my classes, they're fun and my teachers are great but I still feel overwhelmed by so much work. Hopefully I can stay on top of it all. I really like my apartment and having my own room is helping me get more work done. And my roommates are great as well. Kara from Idaho falls, Kristie from CA, Megan from WA and Kelli from TX. We went and saw Obsessed last night, it was intense and we were freaked out for a bit. Beyonce was in it and kicked butt!
Today I'm filling out parts of my mission papers!!! and then am going to do a ton of hw and go for a bike ride. yup, thats my whole plan. Hopefully it follows suit and any other activity is welcome.
AND i love the Neko Case cd I got last week, its fabulous. Hopefully I'll make it down to the concert in May, that would be awesome.
I need new brown sandals for church or just to go with my brown dresses.

For mom: the picture I put up in my mission papers.

Happy Earth Day

Today is Earth Day AND Dereks birthday so i'm going to celebrate both by eating ice cream and by the train tracks. AND i can play happy birthday day on the harmoncia...

easter time is the time for the eggs and the time for the eggs is the easter time

Easter was yesterday and it was lovely. It was great to be reunited with everyone. And the food was delicious and emma and dad made this pie that was to die for: raspberry and pear, HEAVENLY. and we had chocolate galore of course. I love easter.

Today I'm down visiting emma in Fredericksburg. We sat on a dock by the river for a while which was nice and peaceful. I love how well we can read each other, interperate actions and know how we'd respond to certain things. Its reassuring to have a deep connection with another person and to know itll always be there no matter how long we're apart. Sitting on the dock was so pleasant and dangling our legs was a rhythmic peacefulness. AND down the river in the distance there was a bridge and a couple of trains went by when we were sitting there. It was very nice.

We're going to get ice cream right now because Emma just found out that the project she was working on isnt actually due until thursday, hooray! what a great way to announce the fleeing of stress.

I woke up this morning and as I lay in my bed slowly registering the day, I heard a sound I almost couldnt recognize, this melodic yet strangely obnoxious sound. As I came to I realized it was birds chirping -the sign of a beautiful spring day! Then coming home from church there was a nice white surprise flying through the air. of course we got a crazy blizzard of snow. I cant believe it snowed today, it started off so nice. well at least its still march so that counts as wintertime.

Lets see...not too much is going on, im just super busy with school work. We went up to my fhe brothers cabin a couple weekends ago so that was pretty. I love being in the middle of nowhere seeing the stars so distinctly. I swear there were even more than they have in the planitarium!

My roommates made a little under one thousand cup cakes today and beautifuly frosted each one individually like MK always does. oh, my nail just broke -thats pretty lame. I've been practicing my harmonica a lot so when I get home you'll be blown away by my newly acquired musical abilities.

oh and I appreciate everyone for letting me interview them, it was great to catch up and I can't wait to see you all at eastertime!

karalee teaching for ex/ed

I've been working on setting up my schedule for this next semester and have it figured out so hopefully I will only have 2 semesters left once I get home from my mission, as long as class times dont overlap.

I'll be taking D+C, Anatomy PhysiologyII, Recreational Leadership, Program MGMT, Therapeutic Recreation, and Mountain Biking. I'm pretty excited, i'll be busy but thats a good thing. My classes start at 745 and 8 again everyday but at least next semester will be warm and light out.

My favorite place to go out to eat, Backyard BBQ has started having free bottomless french fries on mondays with any purchase so I have a new monday activity to add to watching 24.

I miss my boy...

i thought this was cute and funny, its dereks dad Bruce, and his youngest brother Caleb.

its play gun obviously but i just thought it was funny cause they're all hunter boys.

The whole family. i took these when i was at their house a couple weeks ago...

ahh im so bored, its saturday and I spent the day in the library and now am doing more hw... well i guess im taking a break.

I love easter season because they have Cadbury mini eggs and they are hands down the best holiday candy.

Last weekend I went down to my favorite spot in rexburg: the train tracks. It was so cold so I didnt stay as long as usual but it was very pretty out...
