masquerade dance

Last night I went to a masquerade and it was a good time. It was a group date so we first went over to the girls' apartment and had dinner. After that we headed over to the dance, which was a lot of fun. At the dance, they popular music playing in the hallway and a live jazz band playing the main gym so you could choose where you wanted to go. We spent time in both so it was a good time overall. What a fun day.

BYU-Idaho

I arrived at BYU-Idaho once again on September 2 with my dad and it was a wonderful day. We were able to check me into my new apartment, in Jordan Ridge, which sits just right across from the temple so convenient to go to the temple at least once a week. We got groceries, came back unloaded, and then hit a session at the beautiful Rexburg temple which my dad absolutely loved. We then changed our clothes and headed to dinner and Applebee's followed by a little bit of relaxing at the hotel before being dropped off at my apartment which meant i had to say goodbye to my dad but overall it was a great day with him before he had to leave to go back to Salt Lake to be with the rest of my family. On Friday, i started leadership training for I-team leaders and it went well up until i had to go to the doctor late in the day because of chest pains. This pain went on for a few days but after taking medication and taking care of myself i got better. The few days we had with our freshmen in our group was amazing and we got to get so close to them through devotionals, lunch, games, and even a hike to mesa falls which was beautiful. I'm going to miss them but i hope to keep in contact with them while i still have a couple of years left on this campus and i hope they grow through their experiences here at this wonderful campus. Classes started on Sept 9 and they went well for the first couple of days. Overall I'm enjoying school and my classes are going great. Pictures shall be posted later

stadium of fire and 4th of july weekend

Well i had a wonderful weekend. We left for Utah on Friday afternoon and got there in the evening. We went to Cafe Rio for dinner and then settled in at her house for the night. Saturday was a bit more eventful. We all got ready and left the house around 1235 PM to go to my cousin's eagle scout celebration lunch with our relatives and on our way we picked up Kristen. We had lunch there and later on we would go to a concert/firworks show called Stadium of Fire but till then we hung out at the hotel where some of my relatives were staying and played games. WE then walked over to the BYU stadium and got in our seats for the show. THe show was amazing and it included: the 5 Browns, Jessie Oaks Baker, Eric Dodge, Carrie Underwood, some dancers, fighter planes and fireworks to top it all off. What a great night. We headed home and dropped Kristen off at her house on the way home. Sunday was good as we went to church at 1 and then prepared food for the rest of our relatives that were coming over to my sister's house. We ate some snacks then my dad got to open his presents since he just retired from his job. Later on we ate dinner and let my uncle open his b-day presents. Overall a fun day hanging out with everybody. We set off fireworks later and everybody went home late so we didn't get to bed till 1 am. Monday was good too. I hung out with Kristen again and then we came back to the house and hung with the family and played Beetles Rock Band. We left around 330 PM for home. Overall a great weekend.

There were many great things to do, snowmobiling, billiards table, a hot tub, frisbee, football, skeet shooting, a big screen tv to watch the basketball games, a theater room for movie watching, foosball. It was a great time we ate dinner friday night and had a fireside. The bishop spoke then we watched our videos we had made within our fhe groups. If you want to see my group's video you can find it on youtube, it's call Parkview 9 and Pines 19 FHE music video so check it out it's funny. After that we had till midnight to do whatever then we had to go to sleep or at least separate the girls from the boys, girls upstairs and boys downstairs. Saturday morning we had breakfast and then did whatever. Later on we had lunch, watched some basketball on tv then headed home and got home around 3 PM. Overall a great weekend full of fun

INEWS

This semester is winding down but it has been a lot of fun. One of my favorite things this semester has been doing INEWS, a news show we have here on campus at BYU-Idaho. Just wanted to post some pics of me on the job. hope you enjoy

a fun weekend

So this last saturday was a lot of fun as i went on a blind date that my friend laura set me up on. Her name is Amanda. We went on a group date and we met together then went to the taco bus and then we to the valentine's day dance afterward so overall it was a blast. To finish it all off we went back to her apartment with everybody else and had an awesome dessert so it was good.

Ice Skating

New blog. Thought i would say that this weekend was a lot of fun. I went on two dates and the best of the two was on Saturday. My cousin, Hanna, Juan, MacKenzie, and I went ice skating at the rink on campus. It was fun for a while but the ice wasn't in the greatest condition as there were holes in the ice and it felt like in some spots you were sinking down so they closed the rink on us and said we could come back another day and skate for free. Afterwards we took a couple of pictures and gave our dates piggy back rides for a block. We were hungry so we headed to the Crossroads and had some burgers. Overall a great day and lots of fun. Glad I was finally able to meet my cousin.
