Rexburg, M.D.

Houston, we have a problem...

So...not only do I feel like I do not belong in Rexburg, I find I am also having health issues in Idaho...

I am finding it difficult to get rested in the 'burg. I wake up, even after 8+ hours of sleep and feel just as tired as I went to bed, maybe even more so. At first it was the altitude that was getting me but now that I've adjusted to that, I still don't feel refreshed and ready to go...It's a little frustrating.

Also I feel like I may be shedding more so here than in Florida...I'm not sure if this is a result of the dryness that is another health issue for me or what it is...also not cool...

Third, I am allergic to Rexburg water...I have been since I moved here. I don't know if it's because of the amount of chlorine they put in the water or what it is, but it does not like me. I get physically sick from it. It is very painful and I am not a big fan...

Sorry to be such a Debbie Downer, but these things are just more of an assurance of something I already knew...

It's time to say goodbye to Rexburg...

Ugh....

One of these things just doesn't belong...

So, I have a problem...

I don't feel like I belong in Rexburg anymore...

This is probably a symptom of Senioritis and if so, PLEASE help me avoid it at all costs!

I really feel like I belong in Florida or really just somewhere else right now. What is it about Orlando that does that to you?

Anyway, the lack of sunlight in my life is really bringing me down so hopefully, I'll be able to get back to functioning properly soon. I have applied for student teaching so the end is in sight! Yay!!

Now to get through the rest of this year...

Christmas time is here!

So it just occurred to me that Christmas is in three days...dang.

I've spent this entire week off work and playing in the parks with my family Terrah and Tyler and my best friend, Maria. It has been a blast of a week but it has made me forget that Christmas is almost here!

It's December 22nd for crying out loud!!! Fortunately, everyone already has there gifts from me, so I don't have to worry about shopping anymore, but it still came out of nowhere.

Christmas will be weird this year as it is the first year I will not be home for christmas day since I was about 6 or 7 and that day we were at Grandma and Grandpa Wade's house. Also, I will be working Christmas day... This is the first time I have ever worked on Christmas! It will be a strange day because I work mid-day so it will feel like the day will just be another day. It's a little disappointing but I can deal :)

Fortunately, my parents are here for Christmas and right through til Jan. 1. We'll enjoy this unconventional Christmas together!

Well, anyway, I'd like to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and I hope you have a Happy New Year!

Game Over.

So, things with the boy have ended.

No worries, I'm not upset in the least. I'm frustrated with myself for letting as much slide as I did, but I do not regret the relationship. We were supposed to be in each others life for a reason and now that that time is over, it's time to move on.

We didn't end on the best of terms, but it is without a doubt, for the best. Here's to being in love, being loved and the hope for love in the future!

Gobble, gobble.

HAPPY TURKEY DAY TO ALL MY AMERICAN PEEPS!!!



Ah, yes. Thanksgiving. The great day of gluttony in American culture...Isn't it fantastic!!!

This thanksgiving is a bit strange for me. First off, I am working today...Disney World doesn't stop for the holidays!! It's strange, because I've never worked in an occupation where the day of the holiday is usually one of the busiest days! It's somewhat bizarre.

Also, this is the first Thanksgiving that I will not be celebrating with any family whatsoever... The only other American thanksgiving I've enjoyed was at the Barnard's with Tyler. This year, with Amy being "temporarily detained" in Canada, I am completely without a relation this holiday.

But it's o.k. :) I have really dear, close friends here and I will be celebrating this holiday with them.

So unbuckle your belts and pop that top button on your pants because Thanksgiving is here and we all have something to be thankful for so let's enjoy it to the fullest!


Things I am thankful for:
My testimony
The Gospel
Terrah and Tyler
My Daddy
Wonderful and ubersupportive immediate and extended family
Puppies (I miss my puppies!)
Great friends
The Buena Vista YSA Ward
Having people who love me
Lots and lots of really good food!
The ability to dance and sing
Working at Disney World
Getting in FREE to Disney World whenever I want!!!
Having a car
Being in love
Being loved
Good movies
Good music
Warm slippies and blankets on a cold day
My scriptures
Good books
Disney Firework shows


And most of all...being alive!!

Yep..

Yep, it's definitely real.

Is this the real life? Is this just fantasy?

I feel like I'm in a dream...

As some of you know, I have been dating a boy from Brazil for the last month. Things are going very well. We both like each other a lot and we just enjoying being around each other. Right from the start we really clicked and conversations are never short.

Unfortunately, I am heading back to Rexburg in January...Only two months away. For this reason, for now, we are not using the terms "boy/girlfriend."

If nothing else we have both impacted each other's life significantly for the better and are better people because of it.

I have a hard time, sometimes, believing this is real and that someone actually likes me that much and that I have someone that I care for as much as I do him...It's like a wonderful dream...

I'll let you know how the dream ends ;)
