Heidi & I

For some reason, we had a lot of Mountain D0


Brittany & I




I think Heidi was hopped up on Mountain Do a little too much haha.


Fall semester went by way too fast. It seems like it was just yesterday that I was moving into my apartment and getting ready for the first day of classes. When I first got to school, I didn't like it too much. It was a new place, I didn't know anyone, and I was away from my family. As time went on, I got used to living on my own, going to class, and I started to meet a lot of people I can now call my friends. I had an amazing time at BYU-I and would recommend it for anyone. I don't think that people who haven't gone to BYU-I can understand what it's like there. It is a place unlike anything or anywhere I have ever been. Pretty much everyone that lives in Rexburg is LDS, and there is a spirit there that you can't get anywhere else. It was nice to be able to hang out with friends and go places and not have to worry about what we were going to do, and if the party was going to be appropriate. There was never a question as to if we should go to someones house, or if we should go to a party. Yes, my circle of friends did change pretty quickly at the beginning of the semester. You might have noticed that some of the people featured in my blog postings at the start of the semester are not included in more recent postings. After a while, you find out who your real friends are, and who actually cares about you as a person, and not for just your car, for your apartment, or for your money. I have made friends that I hope will last a lifetime, and so far it seems like they will. It's the people that stay in touch after the semester is over that are your true friends. The people that are there for you even though they aren't physically there. If I could re-live those 3-4 months of Fall semester, I would in a second. If you or anyone you know is thinking about going to any of the church universities, I highly recommend it. Last semester also taught me a lot, not just temporally, but spiritually as well. I was talking to my friend Heidi, and I was telling her I was having a hard time being away from school. She told me that for some reason, Heavenly Father wanted me at BYU-I last semester, and for some reason, Heavenly Father wanted me in California now. She said that I blessed their lives while I was there, and that I'll bless someones here in California. We don't always know why we are where we are, or why something happens, and we don't always need to know. We just need to have faith in the Lord, and know that whatever happens, it is in the Lords hands, and that as long as we do what we can to choose the right and do our best in any situation we are placed in, he will do the rest and make up whatever is left. Even though last semester went by quickly, not only was I there for my education, I was there to learn many life lessons that I will benefit from for the rest of my life. I am so thankful to have had the opportunity to attend Brigham Young University Idaho last semester. It is a time that I will remember for the rest of my life.
