Friday night I went to my first college party...pretty crazy. Would I do it again, absolutely. Saturday, my mom and dad came up to see me and to celebrate. We went to see the movie "Rio." Really good movie. After the movie, we went to eat at the chillinest hang out spot in Rexburg...Sammy's. Oooo it was so good.

Missouri will be blessed by his presence. I guess now it is time for me to gear up for the actual education part of the college experience seeing that classes start tomorrow.

It has been close to four months since coming home from school. Four months of time that I have had to find myself, or at least to learn more about myself. Needless to say, four months is a fair amount of time for deep thinking. Many of the things I have learned are quite personal and will not be shared but I will share the most important thing.

I still am in a way, but over my break I have come to like new things more and more. For instance, one of my best friends has introduced me into the world of country music. I have heard it before and liked some songs but I never would have turned the radio to a country station. Now, it is the first thing I hear when I turn my car on. From the small things that dictate my momentary enjoyment to the things that truly bring me joy, I have definitel...
