Walkin' in a winter wonderland

Rexburg has had quite the snowfall for a few weeks now.  I think the worst of it came last night through today. I would leave my car parked in a parking lot for 2 hours at the most and come out and have it completely covered in snow! This morning was the worst! I went out to start my car so I could get to class on time.  Turns out it decided to continue snowing through the night. The snow was up past the bottom of my door on my car! Crazy! Just as I was about to go start my car there was a girl right across the parking lot from me trying to get her car to reverse out of the parking lot. Well, after seeing her failing attempts to leave I got into my car a little discouraged and freezing from the snow I had to step in to get there. I got into my car and put it into reverse... to my surprise and happiness it reversed out of the parking spot with ease. Now it was time to make an attempt to leave the parking lot.  I was feeling good... just going down the dip to leave when yup you guessed it I got stuck! Great.. what a perfect spot to get stuck, right where people come and go. Well, I put it back into reverse and backed up got a little moment to go forward and made it out onto the main street.  Now the task was not to get stuck going up the hill past the temple and to the Clarke building.  Good news was I made it there, bad news was there were many people getting stuck and sliding around up and down that hill. Talk about danger! It's like people don't how to work a snowplow in this town. Anyways, there is still snow piled up everywhere, in some spots it's higher than me. I need all the luck I can get here. There are plenty of drivers from other states that don't get snow that don't know how to drive in it driving here. Oh goody! Make sure you all stay safe and warm in this crazy weather!

Out with the old and in with the new!

Hello! I know it has been a while since I posted, but as along with many others I have found that there isn't too much to post about.  So, this is just as update of life so far.  My Christmas break just seemed to fly by!! I spent some time with my family and it was great.  We took some silly pictures and played some Just Dance.  Spending time with them made it a little harder to come back to the frozen tundra that is my school.





Along with my Christmas break I went and saw the Salt Lake City temple lights for the first time ever in my life.  It was amazing! Not as packed as I thought it would be.  Everything was beautiful and there were so many lights! 



Now onto New Years! I am glad it's a new year, but sad to leave some of 2012 behind.  There were some good times and some bad times, but I am really excited to see what 2013 has in store for me. Make sure to get those resolutions running! 


Well, now I am back at school in the negative degree weather.  I rarely go outside and when I do it's to run to my car.  School keeps me really really busy and sometimes I'm not quite sure how to get it all done, but I manage.  I'm grateful for fantastic family and friends always! Until next time!
