DOOMS DAY!

So, There is a fire a blazin South West of Rexburg. And cast THE COOLEST Lighting. So, I seized the opportunity and went and took some pictures.
Also helped that I couldn't find my lacrosse banquet tonight. . . woops. My Bad. But, It was a much needed awesome break! And I am way happy with how these turned out!

Now, The Un-Edited Pictures of the Day:

National Registry Exam

So, I take the first portion of my National Exam on Saturday to officially become a paramedic. Yes, NATIONAL EXAM. 
I am kinda just needing a little break from freaking out a bit, so, I am posting about it. It's kind of a big deal. And, I graduate college in 10 Days! 
Which means, I get to move back home next week! And I take my written portion of my National Exam on July 26 in Draper, THAT One!!! I AM REALLY SCARED OF. Throughout the nation, there is a 40 percent pass rate for the first time you take the exam. And you get 3 chances before you have to go through a refresher course. And then 3 more chances, and if you don't pass, well, you should either rethink your line of career choice, or go through the paramedic program AGAIN! . . . No Thank You! At least I will have been home for a couple days before I take that one.
Then the family will head on up to Canada for a reunion. And then, go work in the Dominican Republic for a bit, and then go to Africa with my Uncle, Dad, and Amber . . . hopefully everything will work out for that. 


Well, that was good to kind of take a break from homework, but now, I have to go and get back to working on it. After this week, I won't be so overwhelmed. 


Good news: 
My lacrosse team won the Championship. 13-7. I scored the first and the last goal for the game. 
My Frisbee team made it to the Semi-Finals, which was pretty good, considering we only won one game all season, and then the one to get us into the Championships. Really fun. And I get to go to my banquets tonight and tomorrow. So glad I played, it was so fun and worthwhile. 

I LOVE MY FAMILY!

Every year we try and take family pictures, and I don't know why we go to such great lengths. We end up capturing our family perfectly anyway. This was last weeks model! And man, we have some fun! And then some not so fun drama. . . But hey, we at least keep it interesting. 

YAY Family Pictures!! 

These ones depicts our family the best I think! 

I just watch in amazement! Man, how did I get so lucky?

The only one we got where we are all remotely looking and smiling at the camera. 

I just love my family . . . . That is All!

Kerri Ran a Half-Marathon!

Kerri Ran her Half-Marathon yesterday with our roommate Laura. She did SO Good!

We are way proud of her! 

She ran it in 2 hours and 4 minutes! 

She could hardly walk later that night. 

Later that night, I had my Lacrosse game!
It was SOOOO Fun! We got to play at the stadium.
We won 10-7.
Way intense game!

MUD!

Today, we went and found mud. And then, we partied! (I wanted to get some sweet shots for my photography class) I think that mission was accomplished! Here are some from today. 

Don't worry, we changed into dry clothes after. :)

Fun-filled crazy adventures!

WAY EXCITED FOR THE WEEKEND!!! 

Last week was memorial day weekend. I biked to a Mountain in Rexburg deemed "R Mountain" and climbed it and biked back. The entire endeavor took a grand total of 3 hours. Went with my room mate, and it was so much fun!

 It was awesome! Kerri and I went 'camping' with my parents down in the Hot Springs somewhere North of Tremonton, Hoot and a Half! We played a healthy game of keep away in the pools, (Which I still have some scratches and bruises from) And it definitely was not a long enough trip. On the way down, this little bird went total kamikaze and smacked my wind shield. First bird dead from my car. It even made it past my car the first time, turned right back around and up, and poof soot. Sorry little guy. Kerri and I took off the next morning in order to get to Logan for a farewell at 9.  My friend Lindsay from the paramedic program just left for the MTC and she is going to Albuquerque, New Mexico Spanish speaking for the next 18 months. Way crazy good!  Then, I went rock climbing with Stephanie and Landon the next day. And I pretty much crocheted 4 hats this week and a baby bootie. Yeah, I really don't have much to do.

Fun with the fire

Kerri blowing on an ember

My roommate Lindsay writing her name. I think she did pretty good.

I am in an outdoor photography class now. So, expect some awesome pictures soon!

This weekend, I had a lacrosse game and a frisbee game. Went rock climbing and slack lining and biking and dutch ovening and to a fire, and had a blast! It was such a fun weekend! One of the very rare weekends that Kerri is actually able to play and do stuff with us. So, that was really fun! I have all sorts of bruises from my adventures, and I am so excited to see what this next week entails for me! Yippee!

Kerri's papers are completely submitted now and on their way to the Prophet. She should be getting her call within the next 2 weeks. CrAzY!!!

Life as of Late . . .

Well, This is my Final Semester at BYU-Idaho.  I GRADUATE ON JULY 23, 2010! With an associates degree in health administration. I am taking my national paramedic written exam within the next month, and the practical (hands on) portion in July. So, I will graduate with my National Paramedic Certification. Which will be very exciting. For the degree portion, I was required to take 5 more credits of religion. So, I am in 3 religion classes right now! And it is AwEsOmE!!! I am also in sociology. The best part is, I will only have to take two tests for my classes this semester. The mid-term and the final for sociology. 

I am on a competitive girls ultimate Frisbee team, and a competitive girls lacrosse team. Man! Is it ever fun! My schedule ROCKS!! 

My lacrosse team totally DoMiNaTeD on Friday night!! 

For the last two seasons up at BYU-Idaho, the lacrosse team has been co-ed. And if you have never seen a lacrosse game- just know that the only thing that is the same in guys and girls rules is the fact that you have to get the ball in the net to score. The sticks are different, the rules, the lines on the field, the strategy, the agility, even the color of the ball. So, I have been having to compensate immensely while playing with the guys, and plus, I would get beat all the time with speed! So, We finally have enough popularity with the sport to get a girls team and a guys team going. It was SO much fun to actually be playing with just girls again! which was a lot easier for me So, I Scored 6 Goals and had 4 Assists! YAY!! My coach is from back east, so she is way good! And we have about 6 girls on my team that have played before, and man, we just worked together so well! The Nicest part was before my game, three of the guys I played with last year came up to me and told me that if they could, they would totally have me suit up for their team and play as there attack-man! They wanted me back on their team! Which was one of the best compliment I heard all day! My frisbee team played on Saturday in high wind, and we could use a little help. Definitely not as meshed as my lacrosse team. But, fun nonetheless. 

So that is my life as of late. I have also been called as Relief Society Piano player. Which is THE BEST!! And it has been my dream calling ever since I got into Relief Society! 

SATURDAY NIGHT: 

SO FuN! I am living in a house with 8 girls. And it is a party and a half! We all get along so good! So, a couple of them knew that it was Victoria's Secret Semi-annual Bra sale, so, they somehow swayed me to come along with them to go bra shopping. Now if you know me, yikes! That is scary territory, so, yes family, I had some experiences. found one i liked, but they didn't have the right style, so still just going with the sports bras for a while. If you wanna, I'll tell you the style and stuff for my birthday gift for tomorrow. :) But, I found out, all you have to do is go in there, tell em you need to get sized, they run around the store for you, and you just stay in the dressing room. Way less scary! Anyway, one of our friends who is practically a roommate made it really fun, and man was I ever glad she was there. She used to have a phobia as well, so she could relate. 

Then, we went out to dinner at Red Robin afterwards, and man alive: HAPPIEST FOOD DANCE OF MY LIFE! The Banzai Burger was incredible! And you get bottomless steak fries . . . Yumm! We had a party and a half! My roomie took pics, maybe I'll go steal them from her. 

Then, we headed to one of the local gals's houses and watched robin hood: prince of thieves. Wow, great movie, kinda gory, but I was on the edge of my seat the whole time. Two of em were out cold by the time the movie got over, and then we made milk shakes (that we stirred) They were delicious. But, All in all, A FaNtAsTIc EveNinG! Full of laughs and adventure! I LOve my Roomies!
