Summer Cookin

So this summer has been so much fun so far. The combination of girls is one of the best I have had. We all mesh well. There are weird quarks but that is bound to happen with six girls in the apartment. Oh and the apartment is pretty big which is awesome! I love it!!

Anyways, in our apartment we all love to cook! The other night Brooke and I decided we should make dinner. It went from trying to think of something easy to a huge yummy feast of fried food. We went to the grocery store to get a few items, and it turned into four of us getting random stuff and making great food.

I love living with these two!! We do stuff all the time- we even sang in church today.

The dinner included: Wantons, garlic sesame seed chicken nuggets and ginger sauce, potato wedges, Brazilian Limeade, Fruit Gratan, orange slices, and green beans....oh and nutella filled wantons, and a few with berries.

The cooks!

Ha ha Love us! Nikki, me, Brooke, and Leah!-- Our friend David Dzado took this picture for us. He came over to visit at just the right time and ate with us. Two other boys came over too. One guy came over to say hi, and shortly after he left his roommate who we hadn't met yet came over and told us that he was instructed to come over.

AFRICA!!!

I AM GOING TO AFRICA!!!!!!...Thanks Richie!

Summer Lovin'

I can already tell this is going to be an amazing summer! I am living with Brooke and Nikki, along with 3 other fun girls. I have met and made more friends in two days of church stuff than I did all last semester. I have already made some friends that I think are going to be amazing friends this summer.

I also realized that this is the first summer in 3 years that I haven't had to deal with a break up. I am going to be able to enjoy the entire summer without the desire for school to start to distract me. Happy Days :D

I have been searching for a job, and got hired at Los Hermanos but for some reason it didn't feel right. I was really torn- If I took the job I would be getting the hours needed, but if I would have to quit Goodwood; which would be really sad because I love it! Well, I went into Goodwood today to do a delivery, and my boss told me to start studying the menu test because I would start training for serving! YAY!! I am really happy about this! I can stay at the place I really enjoy!

Photography is good too!....LIFE IS GOOD!!!

Oh My Life

There is so much going on that I want to update about but I don't want this post to be a novel! Here are some highlights!

School
In two days I will finish my first semester at UVU and my THIRD year of college. I don't feel old enough to be in this stage of life. Looking back at this last semester I am still very happy with my decision to switch. I am also glad that I switched schools when I did. I have made some key connections that I feel will really help me in my photography and what I want to be doing with my life.

Grades-
I was so close to getting my 4.0 this semester. My web design class was the determining factor. I had a high B in the class, and if I was able to pull of an A on my final exam and project it would tip the scale and I would be set. Well, I got an 82% on my final exam. I don't think I have ever been so bothered with getting a “B” on a test. I was close to the 4.0 though. I guess that is good enough though It's the best semester in college yet.

-I posted some of my final project down below!

UVU vs. USU-
I am still an Aggie at heart, and will always love Logan and that school. UVU is a good school, and I really enjoy what I am learning, but it doesn't have the same atmosphere/mood that USU has. I miss Logan and my life there, but I am happy where I am.

Photography-
I am learning so so much. I have been shadowing my teacher who is VERY smart and talented. I have absolutely loved it. I shadowed him last week for a wedding and a senior pictures shoot, and he paid me fifty bucks! He is also going to have me help him this summer on senior pictures. SO excited. Life is real good in this area. I still have a long ways to go but I am ready for it.

Living-
I am moving into my summer apt tomorrow! I will be living with Brooke and Nikki. Happy days!

Work-
I am looking for a job again. Goodwood kinda worked but it isn't going to be enough. So, I am looking for another job! Any ideas?

So, it is still kind of a novel, but this is the shortened version. I still have more I could write about, but I am guessing more than half of you are really only going to skim over the post anyway. So, life is good, and I am just trucking along :)

PS- I love our family, and I appreciate the advice I am given. I am not saying that having opinions is bad. Most often I really do want to know what people opinions are. It's when I have made a decision that I feel is right, and people try to convince me to do other wise. I know everyone is really just trying to help me out. So, I am not saying I don't want it. It is when I get different advice from everyone it starts to add up and it's a lot. LOVE you all :)

Final Photography Project

For my final in my photography class I was supposed to create a story in 3-5 images! Keira was a sweetie and helped me out. She's a cute little model!
