so i finally figured out how to put pinterest pictures on this thing!...i hope. it's been awhile since i've been on here which is funny because SO MUCH had been going on!!!!! maybe that's why. well, college is pretty awesome, but recently i've been struggling with homesickness. ah, that's something i never thought i'd have to worry about! i made it through the entire month of december and the beginning of january with no problems, then recently i've been thinking about magnolia. mostly, i miss my momma, and i'm not ashamed of that at all! last night was a difficult. i called her crying which i hate doing.

today made up for it though because today was awesome! it was mine and thais' first sunday at our ward here (last weekend we were in provo). our ward is pretty big, in my humble opinion, and all i could think about was, "holy crap, when i give a talk, i'm gonna die." after sacrament, we socialized with some of our FHE brothers. they're amazing and i love all of them already even though we've only met once before. we sat behind them in sunday school and i got called out by someone in the bishopric and i got a calling!!! i'm SOOOOO excited about it!!!!!!! but i'm keeping it on the DL until i get set apart ;) those things helped get me outta this muck i've been in.

honestly, i haven't been on pinterest for weeks which is a big deal for me! ha i like to see all the ideas on there but i'm never gonna set up an account because i just like to browse:) but i got on today i found the picture above and it helped me realize that this is where i want to be. BYU-I has been a dream of mine for years and now that i'm actually here, i'm not gonna let some homesickness get me down.

we don't have classes tomorrow which i'm so excited about because i have some homework to catch up on! until then i'm gonna go get ready for the fireside tonight!
