and the fun begins.

A few months ago my parents bought a quaint little home in an old mining town called Wallace, Idaho. It's exactly half way between my school and home in Seattle... which will be perfect to stay with friends on the way home and to school. Mostly, my dad likes fixing up old places. We've been staying here a couple of days before heading to school, and it's been a really nice get-away to "collect" myself before school... whatever that means.

Our lovely little home.

I've been making myself shakes with reeses... everyday.

Oh, and stuffing my face with cotton candy.

The most wonderful diamond ring ever. My dream ring I think. It's vintage I believe and I've been eyeing it everyday at this market that's been going on over the weekend. I'm already looking at diamond rings... clearly I'm a BYU student. HAH!

Riding my bike around this little town is so relaxing. I really love towns like this where everyone knows everyone and the houses are from the early 1900's.

My roooom.

You know, just taking pictures in a cemetery. hehe.

This evening we finally got to Rexburg. I LOVE IT. I'm staying in a hotel tonight because I can't check into my apartment until tomorrow... and then Saturday I'm heading off into the wilderness for my outdoor program (which I'll explain more when I'm there because I'm not so sure what it's all like either!). I don't know how much or when I'll blog but I'll keep you updated I promise.

note to self: and the fun begins. It's finally here. I can't even describe my emotions right now! This year. is. going. to. be. amazing.
