Real Talk.

Right now college is cooking disasters, crappy classes and exhaustion.
Real talk.

Getting used to the whole college flow is exhausting. Homework, and lots of it. Hardly anytime to relax with Dallin. Between him working and going to classes and doing homework, we don't get a lot of quality time. Plus I have the crappiest class in the world. It was supposed to be an easy class about home and family management, but it's my hardest class and I'm not even learning about the home and family.

Also, cooking has been an adventure. I'm learning a lot about what NOT to do in the kitchen. There have been flames. There have been a few overcooked items. And I burnt soup. There is nothing worse than burnt soup. Let me tell ya.

Right now life isn't perfect, but that's how life is and its okay. Things will always be up and down but it will always work out. God is great that way. Trust in him.

Moving Out, Moving In, and Starting School

We moved out of Dad's basement last Thursday to head back up to college. Dad hauled our stuff up to Rexburg with his truck and we followed him there.

I was both a little sad and excited to move. I was really excited to finally have our own place again. Living with the family is great, but it's definitely good to have your own place. I was a little anxious too, especially while we were moving all our stuff into our new place. If you know me very well, you know that I have anxiety. And that anxiety kicked in when we moved our stuff in to that bare, empty apartment. I heard the noise of all the cars and the construction and it was so different than the quiet peace of home.Eventually, once we got all our stuff moved in and unpacked how we wanted, I felt a bit better and tried to make it feel more at home with a couple decorations.

Now we are all settled in and feel much more at home. I have yet to finish decorating and will post pictures of the apartment once its decorated.

Dallin started work at Wilcox Fresh, a potato company. He works in the evenings cleaning the equipment. We were blessed Dallin was able to get this job our second day here!

Our first few days of school have been good. Its just really different being back on campus and trying to get in the swing of things. Dallin is starting his Plant Science and Technology degree. I think he's going to enjoy his classes. I'm just working on getting my Associates in General Studies. I'm also taking a few courses geared towards Marriage, Family and Parenting. My dream is to be a stay at home mom, so I'll try to take classes that will prepare me for that! I'm excited for those classes.

Sometime I'll post some pictures of us on campus... if it ever stops raining!

Summer Has Ended

Okayyyyy... So I haven't posted in over a month. My computer died on me and unfortunately was unable to be fixed. Luckily, they were able to save my pictures and documents, ect. So today I just bought a new computer and am finally able to update the blog. Mostly I am going to play catch up and summarize the rest of summer!

We've been able to do a lot of fun things together this summer and have definitely enjoyed our break from school!

We went camping! We drove up to Mt. Harrison and camped at Bennet Springs. It was fun to go camping just the two of us!

We also went to lagoon with my mom, Gabe, and Ethan! Dallin rode the Rocket like he's brave or something. Ethan won a dragon and Dallin won me the cutest little ducky!

We had fun at the fair watching Gabe and Ethan show their 4-H Sheep!

Durring fair week was the annual Harris Pond reunion with Dallin's family!

And also, big news, my dad married Lona, a gal that he had been dating for months. It was such a great day! Lona is amazing and I also gained a sister, Isabel! I'm very thankful for both of them and love them very much!

We had a lot of fun decorating the car!
