Ice Caves

Wow! What a fantastic adventure. Caitlin, Kayla and I went to the ice caves with a bunch of boys and a few other girls on Saturday night. It was so incredible, very wet and cold, but so much fun. We played with glow sticks, tried to viciously knock each other over on the ice. (Alright, alright, Just one boy and I tried to do that... but you get the picture.) After we got out and were all dripping wet and freezing we had an awesome bonfire!

We all piled into this HUGE truck that belongs to a friend of mine. Here are Caitlin, Kayla and Beccs, In the back you can see Laura, next to her is Mark and then you see part of Kolten's face SOO much fun! The scenery is really weird to me. There are NO mountains. its completely flat, its kinda become a game with my friends, they always try to show me the 'mountain' which always ends up bein' a hill. -sigh-

See what I mean? I don't think it gets much more flat than this.

Roomies!

These are my dear sweet roommates. We've got Kayla, a second semester freshman, Me, Morgan in the back, first semester freshman, than dear Caitlin... with her hand in front of her face... She's a sophomore:)

This is Caitlin and me. She is from Texas and my room roomie. I love her! She's my favorite roommate! She wants me to say "I like her face, its nice :)" She makes THE BEST country fried chicken ever! SOOOOO yummy! :) She also tenderizes her chicken with her peanut butter jar. Love this girl :)

Alright, With this video we were trying to take a picture and I pushed the wrong button. Watch Morgan's eyes She's trying to make them not look so small. I love Caitlin's face, its my FAVORITE! Kayla screams last, She said she was feeling left out. :) Its hilarious! Don't tell Morgan I put this up here. ;)

BYU-I

I've FINALLY moved into my dorm up here at BYU-I. It happened after packing for several weeks and a few minor emotional break downs. (Mostly the night before I left.) So far its tons of fun, Like a party all the time. My roommates are so amazing! I love them dearly. We're just settling in right now. Last night the four of us went for a little walk around campus laughing hysterically and telling stories; getting to know each other a little bit. Then we all sat on my loft bed with facebook up showing pictures of guys we've liked and telling stories about them. I don't think I've ever laughed so hard in my life.

I am having tons of fun, But it doesn't exactly feel real yet. Hasn't really sunk in that this is where I live now. It still doesn't feel like MY bed, MY fridge, MY couches, MY house. I'm sure we'll get there soon though. :)

Last night my dear roomie and I went to a Ryan Shupe and the Rubber Band concert! WOOT! We had tons of fun, and met single Nate. :) (the drummer in the band, apparently they all want him to not be single anymore. But we were to shy to talk to him.)

Today is the first day of classes. I've gotta go to Science and Soil Management. I sound like a nerd hmm? :) Wish me luck!

What's new

Yay for new laptops!! I got mine last week and now that I've gotten used to it I love it! I feel like an official college student now! I've got an HP pavilion dv6. Whatever that means.

I've been using this handy dandy laptop of mine to email my new roommates. They are so cool! I think we're going to have a BLAST! The girl I'll be sharing a room with is from Dripping Springs, Texas. ( I think that is awesome, Dripping Springs :) Her name is Caitlin and she's awesome! She's going to be a earth science teacher.

I can't wait for school! I keep getting more and more excited. Which is probably a good things because I'm leaving in four days ;)

Ranger Katherine

I've been giving tours at Timpanogos Cave National Monument. I love it! Is there anything better than being paid to hike, then talk to a bunch of people about something you find absolutely astonishing? I think NOT! It is a little hard though, I've been losing my voice from trying to talk over everyone, and I get home and my feet swell to twice their usual size from standing for ten hours. But its the best job ever.

I get to meet all sorts of people from all over the world. I want to travel so bad and see their homes just like they are coming to see mine. I've very grateful for the opportunity to do something I love so much, I hope the people on my tours learn something new. Maybe one of the kids I take will end like me. I remember going through with my dad when I was little, now I'm the one leading the tours. :)

Glacier National Park

Glacier is without a doubt one of the most beautiful places I have ever been! Yay for senior trips! This picture is while we were driving Logan Pass. The altitude is only as high as here in PG. If we were lucky it got up to about 6000 feet. Pretty crazy.

All of the scenery was like this, there were tons of lakes all surrounded by trees with mountains rising in the background. Absolutely breath taking!

Yeah, My family is crazy. I love Nikki's foot up in the air and Dad trying to ignore us and enjoy the scenery.

I love this. With the moose in the foreground and that amazing background. Welcome to Glacier :)

It was so wonderful to spent so much time with my family; and see the beautiful sites of Montana. I will definately be going back in the next coming years.

NYC!

I love New York City so much! It's beautiful, most of the people are very friendly, and they have the best plays :)

I took this picture in the plane. I love how you can see the blue of the sky below the clouds as well as above it.

This is the Statue of Liberty. I was inside Her! Its so incredible I thought while I was standing up there, this is what she sees every single day. Then I got this sudden yearning to hug her, but I thought the cute ranger would think I was strange so I held it in. He told me that to change the light bulbs in the torch a bunch of maintance rangers have to climb up the inside of her arm in the dark, then at her elbow the latter switches sides so they have to feel around and change sides, all completely in the dark while carring light bulbs!! He said they have a running joke "How many rangers does it take to change a light bulb? Well.... it depends where the light bulb is!"

This is a water fountain at the Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts. The whole place was brilliant. Every theatre is so well built. They all keep the noise from outside out and the noise from inside magnified. I don't know how you would figure something like that out.

I just thought this was funny :)
