Books, Babies, and Incredible Guys...er guy.

Well, it hasn't been too long since my last post, and not a ton has really changed. But I do have a few things to post that are very news worthy, and exciting. But before I get to those.

I pretty sure that this semester is trying to flatten me with a steam-roller, and unfortunately, because of the nature and size of a steam-roller, it is succeeding. I just can't seem to keep my head above water lately, and the problem is that it is entirely my own fault. I have the worst case of senioritis ever!! I am struggling to find meaning in my classes this semester because none of the information I am learning will be needed once this semester is over, but that is an awful mindset to have. My grades this semester still matter, but I'm having a hard time remembering it, and that is a major problem. They are going to take a major hit. Hopefully though I can save my self a little bit by being super good at studying the next about month and a half. Which means a few things are really going to have to go out of my life. One of those is going to have to be facebook. I tried to swear it off this week and it was an epic fail, but now I have to for real. I will only get on it if I can't be doing something else, which means basically never, at least until I manage to get myself caught back up, which may not actually happen because I am very far behind. So goodbye facebook world, for a little while at least.

But anyway, so I got offered my first pharmacy school interview. I'm so excited!! It is to Roseman something something, previously known as University of Southern Nevada. This school is only a three year program, which would be really nice, but it also is crazy expensive. Like almost 3 times what the U would cost me, which really sucks. It is both my second and fourth choice school. How you ask? Well, they have two campus', one in Utah (my second choice school) and one in Henderson Nevada (my fourth choice school), but really I'm just excited to have an interview. It's nice to know that there is at least one possibility, although an interview doesn't guarantee admissions of course. But I will interview on January 19, so wish me luck! I guess I had better find an outfit between then and now...Mom, shopping?

Also exciting news of the day? This week my sister found out what she is having. I'm so excited for her. IT'S A BOY! I really thought that it was going to be a girl, but it really doesn't matter. That little boy is going to be the most loved/spoiled little baby that ever lived I'm pretty sure. I'm so excited to get to meet him. I'm getting a nephew!! It kind of seems a little unreal to me to consider. I don't think I can really process it as something true, but I'm excited none-the-less. Only like five more months or something! YAY!

So, yeah, things are going great with Colton. As I mentioned in my last post, it was just the one month anniversary of when we started dating. Still can't really believe that. He is amazing though. He sent me the best present ever. It's hard doing this long distance thing. It's hard to not be able to be with him and at least see him on days like that, but there are some fun things about it. Like we did letters for our one month, which was great. That was seriously the best, sweetest, most adorable letter I have ever even considered receiving. It also included a leaf from a tree that is very special to both of us. He's just so adorable! He's definitely a keeper, that's for sure. I just wish I got to spend more time with him, but sadly school is apparently important, which I suppose I should stop blogging and get back to said school. So, Colton, honey, don't forget how crazy about you I am okay? Only 6 more days!! And the rest of you, don't forget to be as awesome as you know deep down you are!!

Fall Break, Forever, and Sister

Wow, so this semester is just flying by my head so fast that I can't even believe it. Today, marks exactly one month since I started dating the most incredible guy ever. I can't believe that it has been a month already, and yet I can't believe that it's only been a month. In some ways, I feel like we have been together forever, yet it also feels like it was just last week that we started dating. I got to spend most of fall break with him, and can I just tell you, he is just so adorable. If you wanted to be treated like a princess, find someone who treats you like he does me. He makes me so happy, and he makes me feel so good about myself. I love every second of time spent with him. This has been the best month ever, and I'm excited to see what the next month holds for us. Baby, if you read this, thank you for being so amazing!!

I hiked angels landing over fall break with him. It was so great. I haven't done that hike for a really long time, and holy crap, it scared me a little. Not bad, but a little. While we were hiking, we ran into this guy who was a cancer survivor whose chemo had made his feet mostly numb. Yet he was hiking the whole thing. I love that. I love it when people do things that are hard for them. I love when they push themselves and dare to do something that they aren't sure that they can do. Seeing him reach the top and knowing how hard it must have been for him was one of the highlights of the hike for me (not the only highlight, and not the best part by far, but still a major bright spot). I just couldn't help but feel so incredibly proud of him for making it all the way up, and I didn't even know him other than talking to him for like 5 minutes. But I'm still proud of what he managed to accomplish and that he didn't let anything, not even cancer keep him from doing something that he wanted to do.

So anyway, my big sister (well, my only sister really), is having a baby in March. I am so excited for her. It's going to be so fun to get to be an aunt. I'm thinking it's going to be a little girl but she thinks it's a boy. We find out in 9 days!! That is so exciting. I can finally start some serious Christmas shopping after that. I mean seriously it's almost November and I only have one present bought and figured out. That is really slow moving for me. It's okay though. But Sarah Beth, I really would like it if you could have this baby on the 18th, okay? thanks little baby for cooperating with me!!

Only one semester left until I graduate. I can't believe it. I don't feel nearly old enough to be graduating with my bachelors degree. It's nuts. But I will find out what pharmacy school I go to in March too. March is going to be a good month I think.
