Last Semester Shenanigans

Well, I did it! I finished my last semester of school at BYU-Idaho! It is the sweetest feeling, and the greatest accomplishment I have made thus far in my 22 years of life! I will continue on to finish my degree student teaching in Ogden, Utah and I couldn't be more excited! I am living with a girl who was in my ward and she will be student teaching too! We are renting the cutest house right near Weber State University! I move in right after Christmas break...it is so crazy!! 

We celebrated Erica's birthday in Rexburg, and I took it upon myself to make her a birthday cake! I was pretty dang impressed! I made a red velvet cake from scratch frosting and all! I hope she felt loved and special! My mom came up and surprised her and took us out to lunch and gave Erica a FitBit for her birthday! I have loved being roommates with Erica! She is someone I can always be myself with because I know she is just as goofy as me! 

 

Thanksgiving Break could not have come at a more perfect time in the semester! I really just needed a break from life and time with my family and that is exactly what I did. My dad bought a couple new four-wheelers so we needed to break them in, we watched Santa Claus turn on the lights on the Rupert Square, took lots of pictures of Camden, played lots of board games, and ate way to much food! It was just the break I needed to make it through the last few weeks of school! 

So, since Erica and I are both student teaching next semester we both are technically "graduating." The school lets education majors choose when they want to walk, before or after student teaching, for students who won't be returning anywhere near Rexburg after student teaching. Erica chose to walk before so that our parents could make it to both of our graduations, I will walk in April. I will be officially done with college and **hopefully** have a job teaching! I can't believe I am at this point in my life; seems like just yesterday I was a little college freshman totally unsure of what I wanted to do with my life! It is so crazy how life goes, and I never would have planned for my life to go this way...but I am so thankful it did because now I couldn't imagine life any other way!
