well surprise!
I have made my decision! I am sure you have all been sitting on the edge of your seats in near uncontrollable anxiety.

You probably have been looking like this!

actually the more accurate description of what you have been doing is not that. you were probably unaware that I was even amidst a   inner conflict  decision.
Well I was!
this is serious business
I had to make a decision that probably wont   could impact my future. The conflict at hand is that of what I am going to be doing for the next 8 months.
There are two options.
NUMERO 1
In September go to my assigned track up at BYU-I and take the schedule that happened to miraculously work out. and get some edumacation.
Option 2
Stay in Boise until April when I will go to my other assigned track (Spring). Work here and save money.

I have had numerous people tell me their opinions. Though they did not do it this way. They told me what they think and said it was up to me. but MAN did some of them  have a point. They REALLY got me thinking. Then I got nervous and anxious. I was utterly confused. I didn't know where to go. what to do. Which one was the better choice? It was extremely difficult in this situation because both are valid and good.

There is a fork in the road and i just didn't know what to do about it. I will be at school in the spring anyway, so it is not as if i am never going to be back at BYU-I. Anyways if you weren't curious at the beginning aren't you now?! haha well like I said , I made my decision. and it is ...........

I will be staying in Boise until April. I am going to be taking some online classes and I am feeling good about it. :) SO that is the news from here!

Dear Hubby.

Dear Future Husband. Yes YOU! since at this moment in time you are not in my life I thought it would be nice for me to give you a shout out. just so you know FH [that means future husband].. I am HANDY!

that's RIGHT!

I installed this very doorknob handle majig ALL by myself! including the door striker plate majig.. or whatever that's called.. :)

WOO and stuff.

I realize that my father has brought me up well to know how to take care of myself...even to the point that I wonder if I am too self-sufficient..

I often think about playing dumb in hope of having some buff and burly man come along and see my helplessness. ;) but really I will know how to do said task.

FOR EXAMPLE: changing a tire, checking and changing fluids in my car, installing door handles,driving stick shift, for the most part diagnosing my car troubles, how to drive in the snow, how to use a hammer,screw driver, impact driver,level,saw, etc home repair things. Also identifying and knowing the difference between said tools and the uses for them.

SEE! I know TOO much to have anyone to need to teach me how to do something.

So FH I hope you love me being a know-it all.. because it is hard for me to sit back and let someone explain to me something I already know. ;) sorry..

anyways..

that is the excitement of the day!

If you were wondering.

If you were wondering about the above picture. Those are my roommates with me in the trunk of my car. :) We are crazy and spontaneous like that. haha I have LOVED this semester. My roommates are AMAZING! they truly are my new best friends. I feel so blessed to have had them as roomies. :) I have had SEVEN roommates this semester! ALL havae been AMAZING! :)
In the top of the two pictures to the side you see (L->R) Julie, Kayli, Lucia,ME,Angela,and Mikaela. These were the ladies from the first half of the semester. Angela then decided to go and get married! so she left us. In the second picture the ladies are (L->R)Emilee, ME, Julie, Allora,Lucia,and Kayli. Emilee took Mikaela's spot. Emilee went on the Mesa America tour first half of the semester, so Mikaela bought the first half of Emilee's contract.Allora took Angela's spot. :) It worked out perfectly for Allora to come and take Angela's spot. The day of Angela's wedding Alora decided that nothing was keeping her home and that she would move up here. (Allora roomed in this apartment in the Fall and Winter semesters, so she knows Julie,Emilee,and Angela) So she came up here! :) We have been having a BLAST! i love these ladies SO much! They have been a blessing to me. :)I am so grateful for them. i am quite sad to leave them. :(

I never thought

Ah TO-DO lists.

I never thought of myself as a person who must be organized. I have always kind of been a person who is go with the flow personality. I've changed. Since September i have formed a new trait. I have to have my planner and map out my weeks and coming events. It is a necessity! I feel like I would have gone mad by now had I not had a planner. My planner is my best friend! :) <3 It has been used and used and used. :)

I am in control of my life and that is what i like. There is something about writing down everything I have to accomplish and then being able to prioritize and tackle everything. :) I can be like this rugby player.



I could not have tackled this past semester without my "handy dandy" planner! Did you catch the reference? BLUES CLUES! :) The semester ends TODAY! I have ONE final tomorrow. and then i will be COMPLETELY DONE with my spring semester here at BYU-Idaho. :) I am going home on SATURDAY! :) Eeee!

Training

I am TRAINING! :) Started Monday!. and i am motivated!
I am SO glad i am doing this. :)
I just need to find someone to train with.
I find i push myself to go faster, to run longer when i have someone there running with me. SO the search begins. in the meantime i will stick to my training plan :)

I bought a Nike+ Sport band. It comes with a sensor that you wear in/on your shoe and the sensor communicates with the sport band and tracks your pace,distance,heart rate,and the time. and I can upload them to my computer and it will show me my runs, and i can track my progress. :)

Its a weird picture of me but IGNORE THAT and focus on what i am holding. :)

I am training for the Famous Idaho Potato Half Marathon which is May 14th. :)

which means i have SEVENTY SEVEN days.

Running

I've always loved to run. especially if i have some great tunes.;) but never have i ran on a usual basis. and lately i have been feeling a lull. A lull in my life a lack of accomplishment. and i had the idea after i read my friend's blog who is going to run a full marathon. i want to run a half marathon. i want to fill my life with a goal. :) So i researched how to train i am starting to get EXCITED! RUN RUN RUN!!!

Lily

Lilies are my favorite flower. i don't know what it is about them but they are just so beautiful to me. today i've taken the day to have some real down time. it is GLORIOUS!

Aaannd this has been random thoughts from Jen. join us next time and have a great night!
