September 6 through December 15 (Fall Semester) was, without rival, the hardest thing I've ever had to endure. But despite my frequent mental/emotional breakdowns, I knew that there was a light at the end of the tunnel....
DECEMBER 16!!! *Cue angelic chorus*
Not only was December 16 the last day of the semester from Hades, it was also the day that my best friend/sister Jenny Webre returned from serving an LDS mission in the Philippines.
^ This was the last piece of an originally 6-month long paper chain.Needless to say, I was one ecstatic girl.
We spent Christmas break at my parents home in Brigham City, UT. Everyone came home and we had a BLAST! We also had some family photos taken.
Winter semester was 10X more bearable than the Fall, though I signed up for 6 extra hours of class. It flew by without a care or worry and NO all-nighters. That's right --NONE! I found that the trick was dropping out of graphic design. Who knew life could be so good? We ACTUALLY had time for friends and fun.
In February, Evan went to Florida to compete in the National Association of Home Builders competition, as part of the team representing BYU-Idaho. He worked so hard and did a great job :) They didn't place this year, but we're looking forward to kicking butt and taking names next year.
In March, I joined my Mom, Grandma and Aunt Julie on a trip to St. George to visit Jenny (who was staying in the Mariott hotel while training for a nursing job). It was a lovely girls retreat.
More recently, we spent the weekend in Pocatello with our friends, Matt and April.
We stayed the night in a hotel room and next morning headed to Lava Hot Springs where we found a natural hot spring in the freezing cold river!
What else can you do (for free) in Lava? Well....
So NOW, we're out of school for the next five months, and searching for another internship for Evan. I don't know what the future will bring, but I have a suspicion that it will bring something WONDERFUL :) Stay tuned.
