Catch Up

I've been so bad at updating lately. That's my b sorry to whoever is reading this. Things have been going well. I got a 90% on my first music 101 test which was a good surprise. I was nervous because I've heard that it is a really hard class but I studied and did my thing and it turned out good. I am in love with my Book of Mormon class. Whenever you talk to and alumni of BYU they say that the religion classes are the best and they are dang right. My teacher is great and he really makes an effort to know each person in the class by name and it's all about discussion and learning from others in the class as well as from the teacher and the spirit. That class does require a lot of reading which can be difficult and sometimes. We've made it through 1st and 2nd Nephi so far and we also read some supplementary articles. I have found a trick though. It goes much faster if you listen to the audio hehehe don't tell anyone ;)

Stadium of Fire was amazing. I had such a great time. Thanks mom and dad for the tickets. David Archuleta was great and Brad Paisley put on an amazing show. I had never seen Brad live before and it was really something. He is great on stage and he really pulls you in. I've become a big fan of his since then. I have pictures from that night up on my facebook if anyone wants to check those out.

I was thinking today that I'm halfway through the term and it's time for me to refocus. Not that I wasn't already focused, but now that I've got the lay of the land and have figured out what I'm doing it's time for me to focus on a few things. I've made a goal to be more positive. I was talking to my dad yesterday and he was worried that every time I talked about church or how church was I would say long and boring. I didn't really realize that I was being so negative about it but since last night I've been thinking about it tonight. Church is going to be something that I refocus on. I'm going to go in every week with my bucket and have it ready to be filled. I

When I first moved here I had a mind set that this isn't home. This is just where I live right now and it's temporary and I don't really have to like it because this isn't me and this isn't home. That's not true and it's another thing that I'm going to work on. I'm here now. Like my mom said, "your life is at BYU now." She is so right. I need to focus on my opportunities here and Provo and start to pull my roots from Vancouver and replant them here. It's not that I'm going to give up on everything that I had in Vancouver but I need to have a new start with those things here. This is home now, it's hard for me to think or say that because it really means that I'm on my own and this is it but it's true. This is my new life and I'm ready to to fully embrace it. I am excited to come home though! I really miss boating. I had no idea how much I would miss it but every time I look outside and it's such nice weather I think about the boat and the cabin and being out on the lake. The weather is good pretty much everyday here so I have those thoughts a lot. I looked up some wakesurfing videos on youtube the other day. When I get back I'm totally going to nail a 360 on the surf board :)

On Wednesday Grandma and Grandpa are coming out here with Jen and the kids to spend the afternoon with me. I am so excited. I can't wait to see Cal and see if he still remembers...."don't get crazy weirdo!!!!" Hahahaha I miss that kid so much he's just so stinking cute!

Well I had better get back to my crazy college life! I love you all :)
