I lied..

.....I do love Idaho. Truly, I do. It has challenged me in so many ways and I know that the Lord knew that. Trials are supposed to stretch and challenge us, and I am so grateful for it. These past six months here have held some of the best and some of the most challenging moments of my life. I think I have grown so much more in these past months  than any before in my recovery. All I can say is that I am so grateful for the Lord's tender mercies in my life, His constant guidance, and His love that I feel each and every single day. I know why I got this trial. I know the things I have learned from it are to benefit those around me, not just myself. I realized that especially serving in relief society. I never realized how many college girls struggle so badly and that makes me so grateful for what I have been through, knowing that I am able to help them. To be honest though, I think they've helped me more than I have ever helped them. I love all these girls with my whole heart and am in debt to them. All I know is that the Atonement is real, it changes the nature of man. Sorry, I'm rambling children. Anyways, I think I shall tell you why I love Idaho SO DANG MUCH.

I like to go on drives and Rexburg doesn't disappoint. 

SERIOUSLY? 

I spy....

Honestly, I don't know what I would do without these girls. Also,
We like to go tanning in the church parking lot.

Katie likes to sniff me.

I was so lucky to be able to go home two weekends ago to see two of my
 best guy friends from high school come home from their missions! 

I love them. Zack (left) went to Zimbabwe and Drew (right) went
to Guam.

I especially love them when they steal my baby...oh I mean phone.

Tadd here loves Shamrock Chocolate Milk and I was lucky enough to buy
him/watch his first sip in two years! I know, I'm lucky.

We then went to the strip for a little R&R....jk it was Memorial weekend and
everyone and their mother wanted to party it up with dem margaritas. 

Millie Mecham...cutest girl ever.

I love visiting my family. I am pretty sure I have the best one ever.

I love her. Didn't know my best friend was going to be 16.

This here is my new roommate Ash, since April. Honestly this girl is my long lost
sister and a BEAUTIFUL one at that. I love her.

This is what attractive looks like when driving to Vegas at
6 in the morning.

This is one of my good friends up here at school, Skyler. He just
got his mission call to Dallas, Texas. Making mama so so proud.

I love them lots.

This is one of three bathroom breaks I took while studying for 6.5
hours at the i-center on a Saturday. Holler.

Guys, I finally ate taco bell.
