So I have decided to take up the task of resurrecting the family blog. I would also appreciate some help in this task. Anywho, so basically I have been a college student for over a month now and boy has it been a big adjustment. I had a break down every day for the first week and would call Brian sobbing, begging him to run away to Italy with me. He didn't go for it. But, I am now pleased to announce that I am enjoying life once again, staying on top of my classes, and not planning to run away. I was unsure of my roommates at first (Due to text messages I would receive at 12:03 asking where I was followed by a "drive home safely", when I was home at 12:06. Ps. For those who don't know the Honor Code, curfew is 12), but now I love them and we have so much fun together! Tonight we made chocolate chip cookies and watched Anna and the King, great movie by the way. Another reason to rejoice is that Eugene lives 60 seconds away and Johann(sad to admit this but I don't know how to spell this) lives 2700 seconds away! We usually have Sunday dinner together every couple weeks. Kode and I have our ceremonial trip to Wally's World every week which includes sorting through the $5 movie bin, walking down almost every aisle, and getting high from smelling this scent stuff you put in a jar. I seriously love having them so close, they have kept me sane!
Now for what you all have been dieing to hear about, the one and only Brian John Frederick. What it basically comes down to is that we are in love and we will keep you updated. We trade weekends of who will drive for three hours, and it is always a struggle when it is his turn. This has nothing to do with him and everything to do with Rexburg being very small and that our brains sometimes struggle with being creative. We have eaten at probably half of the restaurants, become frequent movie attenders, wandered through many stores, seen most of the natural beauty of Idaho that is within reasonable driving distance, been to every park, and we still have time to fill. One hard thing is that if you want to be alone, it has to be outside because you will never find a room or building that is not occupied. That's right, all Brian and I do is make out. Be jealous.
Time for a spiritual moment. So, Brian had a calling with a friend where they planned weekly activities and had a nondenominational church service on Sunday with boys at the ARTEC Juvenile Detention Center. They had the calling with an older couple; the wife is a certified marriage and family counselor, has written a couple books, and gave a devotional at BYU-I. Brain and I have listened to the devotional and it is excellent! It is a little long but I highly reccoment listening to it! I will post a link to it at the bottom.
Anywho, I just want you all to know that I miss you so much and I can't wait for the family vacation. I seriously love you all more than you will ever know!
