on monday me and my mom left tucson and drove all day to st. george. i have to tell you... i dont think i was quite ready to leave... mentally, emotionally, physically... it was really sad leaving home. its kind of funny because i have been at ea for three years.... and i didnt even move home last summer... so ive been "gone" for quite some time... but this just seems so much more... i dont know final? (i even gave up my room to austin!) i suppose me coming home every weekend for two months this last semester didnt help... but really i was having so much fun in tucson hanging out with kelsey and devin and zac... and watching ben 10 with austin... helping mom.... seeing dad every day... and dustin and adrian were so close... just chilling with the fam, going swimming and watching movies. me coming to utah is like really leaving.... im gone gone. you know? there were definetely a few tears shed on my way out of town. okay anyway...so once we got to st. george we stayed with her friend (and roommate from college) tracy. she had a such a beautiful house and she was really nice and super funny... we went to dinner and then spent the night with her. it was so funny to listen to her and my mom catch up... even though they rarely see eachother, it was like they just picked right up where they left off in college... just laughing and having fun.
*this is the view from our front door! cute!!
*the black and white squares are my bulletin boards... i painted them to match... cute, eh? and i think i need something else above my bed... i think i am going to do a little quote painting or something. oh and austin look! do you see the little puppy you gave me? ;)
*if you notice.... dan has a brown comforter with black pillows and i have a black comforter with a brown pillows... we are all types of matching!! :)
on wednesday... me and my mom walked around campus for awhile... met up with paula again.... had lunch with her. oh i went to a counselor to talk about classes and stuff... that was pretty interesting. and i think i had dinner with paula and mom and kevin... paula's husband you i met then. he is a really nice guy.
*its duct tape!! how sweet is that!?
saturday.... my mom flew back home. danielle and i spent hours tanning... and now we are both a little red and sore... and i have more weird tan lines... this is getting ridiculous. i started reading "the host" by stephanie meyer and i am loving it! i am having a hard time not reading it! so we had a nice relaxing day... went out shopping for a bit and then me and danielle and jared went and saw "kung fu panda" ... which was a really funny movie to. apparently i like to go see movies. haha...
and now sunday....i went to church for the first time!! our ward is really cute and small right now since it is just summer.... but the smallness was familiar and somewhat comforting... everybody was really nice. actually annika is one of the relief society presidents... and she made sure to introduce me in relief society! (thanks!) oh yes!! on tuesday the bishopbric were apparently making their rounds... and stopped by and introduced themselves to me... and today the bishop stopped me (by name... i was thoroughly impressed!) we walked across campus to our building... and i wore shoes that i thought were broken in.... apparently not, i have a couple cute little blisters. bummer i know. i went to paula's house for dinner... it was kevin's birthday... i felt kind of bad... i didnt take him a card or anything. whoops. there were a lot of people there! i met his kids... and paula's kids were there... and her brother in law and his family and her parents... and a couple other random girls (like me) who werent related... lol it was funny we sat at a table pretty much by ourselves. it was definetely the cool table though... actually one of the girls... olivia... is paula's other secretary so it was nice to get to know her a bit more. okay so apparently in utah its the cool thing to do to have "ward prayer." haha this really makes me laugh... our ward gets together every sunday night at 8 on the "grassy knoll" to pray together... yep im in utah. haha! i guess its more of a social thing than anything else... but still it makes me laugh!
*oh and dont worry.... edmond made the long journey safe and sound! phew!!! :)

Kendle!! I miss you!! But your apartment is cute and it sounds like you are having fun!! But seriously... I miss you!!
What the UTAH?!?! First of all, ward prayer? That's a new one! ;) Second, your wall really is just duct tape? I thought you used duct tape as a stencil, but no...? Your apartment is way cute! I love the black Jesus!! I'm jealous you got to meet Isabel before me! I can totally see Erik in her too! I'm so sad you're gone! It doesn't see real to me yet. I can't believe you live in Utah of all places (no offense to others that do)! And who ever guessed that you would go to BYU! At least mom's dream of one child attending her alma mater came true! Looks like you're having fun, but we miss you!!! You better keep your blog more updated so we can see all of your byu/utah adventures! Love you!
