College..No Way!

I have been here for a week. I have had all my classes and they do not seem to be that hard to manage. My roomate and I had a little misunderstanding which made the last few days stressful but we worked it out the best that we can. She is totally oppiste to me in everyway. We have one or two things incommon but other then that we are opposites. I have made friends with some really awsome people. We have our own little gang, it is really cool.

Ummm..ok

I have met my roommate. She seems nice. I have so many emotions right now. I want to leave and get out there in the world but the other side of me want to stay close to what has been my life for the past 18 years. My room, my house, my friends everything that has been routine is now going to change in someway or another. I know my close friends are going to still be there for me and so will my family. I have to get use to change, it is a very hard thing for me to do. I know that I have so many things to accomplish in my life, I know that I can set my mind to do amazing things.


On another note, I had a little surprise graduation party for one of my friends. Her family did not have one for her. As here BFF I had to do something. We had pizza, cake, soda, and music. I invited a few friends over, It was a lot of fun. Well it was until one person decided to throw cake into Shelly face and then another person did so they all had cake all over them. Let me tell you blue food cake dye does not come off very easily. So I had to get the hose out and spray people down and got soaked with cold water. All in all it was fun!

The end of my Trip




One of my favorite things out of my whole trip was seeing the Great Salt Lake. We got to walk on the bed of the lake because it was so dried out. It was so cool! This is the best summer I have had in my life. I got to do new things and did so many diffent things. I want to say that I have made memories that I will never forget. I am going to have to go back and vist. I miss everyone so much already. But now I have to concetrate on leaving for Cobleskill in 8 days. :)

Utah Part III














Saturday morning I went back to Chris and Lane's house(Erica's brother and sister in-law) All of the kids were happy that I was back. Now since I have been home for a week I am going to highlight what we did in the time I was there. I met so many family members while I was there, it was fun. I got to where Erica and Nates house was when they lived in Utah before. I met some of her friends. We went to temple square, I had tons of fun seeing the temple and diffrent exibits. Nate's family lives in Nevada so we packed up and left for 3 days to go and see Grandma and Grandpa. So a tip when traving with children, bring a DVD player! It works for awhile. Also getting the kids tired so they sleep is great too. We drove to Cedar which was alright. We spent a night there and then headed on to Overton. Kalli and Corban were so happy to see Grandma and Shayla went right to her and Elina did too. While in Overton the kids got to see and play were there cousins. We went to a splash pad on the last full day there. It was fun and very hot out. I think on that day it was 112 degrees out.

Utah Trip Part II





I went with the Field's on Friday. We went and saw BYU and walked around, It was really big and it was hot out. We spent about 2 hours walking in and out of buildings. I saw a lot of places. We decided not to go and see UVU because Bekah and I were tired from walking around. After we saw BYU we went and drove to this "Memorial Hill" which is a hill that you drive up and from the top you can see a great view. I had a lot of fun hanging out with them.

Utah Trip Part I

I should start off by saying that I had so much fun! I really did not want to come home. It was a little hot for me but it was somthing I could get use to. When I left on this trip I did not know what to expect. Was I going to have fun, what were we going to do?..all sorts of questions. Well Erica, Me and the children left New York on July 24th at 10am. I think that was the time. We went from Albany to Los Vegas and then on to Salt Lake City. When we got off the air plane we had to take a trip to the bathroom right away. So we took Kalli, Corban, Elina and Shayla into the bathroom. We got out and went to claim our bags which were stacked in a pile. Then we had a dilemma, how to get from baggage claim to the rental car. We were not going to rent one of those Handi Carts because they were $3.00 and you only got a quater back when you returned it. So this is what we did. There were 9 things to be carried, we took Elina out of the stroller and piled to bags into her seat, Corban carried his car seat, I rolled on bag which had another bag on top of it, Kalli did the same thing that I did. Erica carried 2 car seats and another bag and Elina carried a bag that had snacks in it. We managed to get to were the rental car was don't ask me how but we did. We got to the van and packed everyone in and headed to Erica's brothers house. It was about a 10 minute drive. We did have to turn around once but we made it there. Everyone was so hungry so we had dinner it was so goood. Now the house was very busy. Eight children under the age of 7 now occupied the house. I had to get some rest because I was leaving for 2 days and going to see the Field's. Read Below for more...
