Made it through the "first week"

Somehow I made it through a few days of school and into my first weekend, in my last semester, here at BYU-Idaho. I am extremely home sick and miss my fiance. I was also excited to go wedding dress shopping this weekend, but obviously plans fell through and I did not get to go.

One good thing is that I have worked out every single day this week, and only ate sugar over the weekend. I have been trying really hard to eat healthy, work out a lot, and not get stressed when my homework starts piling up (which it will).

I have been overwhelmed by anxiety for the Praxis Exam, which I have to pass next Saturday and hope and pray that things may go as planned and I may perform to the best of my abilities.

I am very lucky to have the friends that I do have, as well as my family, and the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. I have been so blessed thus far in my life, but it wasn't without trials. Every day is a learning experience and I am so grateful to have learned what I already have and am excited to learn more. I love the opportunity to finish school, so I am trying to be optimistic so I can finish at the expected time.

Back in the Burg

On Monday I drove up to Rexburg, to start my final semester (hopefully) at BYU-Idaho. I drove up with my very handsome fiance (still getting used to saying that) and his adorable mother, Mary Ellen. It has been quite an adventure thus far and I know it is only going to get more intense.

I am hoping to update my blog as often as I can and let others read about my exciting semester.

So far I have been to 3 of my 5 classes and they all sound difficult on their own level. I am taking a few practicums, archery, science methods, and a special education class.

I have also tried to make it a habit to eat really healthy (eating sugar only on the weekends) and working out at least once a day.

I hope to blog more often this semester, as I said before, so this is me, jumping back into blogging at the beginning of a very difficult semester.

P.S. I am recently engaged. Two days before Christmas, my best friend, the love of my life, Donald Bryce Melton, asked me to marry him, for time and all eternity. There is no one I would rather spend my eternity with. He is caring, loving, handsome, sweet, motivated, hard working, responsible, dedicated, wise, smart, brilliant, hilarious, and so many other things :)

I am SO lucky!!

- Until we meet again -
