Wow. I've really sucked at blogging recently. I've just been so busy! Which is a good problem to have, especially because I didn't have that problem at all last semester haha. So sorry mom and dad! I'll catch you up on everything that's happened in the past 3 weeks.
1. (Rainy) bonfire party
 |
| This picture doesn't do it justice, the fire was HUGE |
 |
| Before the rain |
 |
| After the rain |
2. Mini Carnival at Porter Park
 |
| Real life angry birds |
 |
| Cotton candy mustaches are the best kind mustache |
3. Choir concert in Twin Falls
 |
| Pretty sure everyone on our bus hated us |
 |
| Oh and Miranda Sings rode our bus on the way home! |
4. Choir concert in the Salt Lake Tabernacle
 |
| Coolest crew you'll ever meet |
 |
| Tabernacle selfie! |
 |
| #stagemakeup |
 |
| Someone left the MoTab Women's Dressing Room unlocked... |
 |
| So I decided to take advantage...shhhh! |
 |
Elder L. Tom Perry came to watch us and told me we did a wonderful job.
I almost died on the spot. |
 |
My Grandma and Grandpa Norton came to see me perform, too.
It's so nice having them just a few hours away when I'm so far from home. |
5. Tanning at Monkey Rock
 |
| Why had I never been here before?? |
6. Buffalo Wild Wings with my Idaho family
 |
| Wing Man and Sauce Boss |
7. 4th of July
 |
| We stole these from children at the parade. #NoRagrets |
 |
| Sparklers are fun |
 |
| "Get that corn outta my face!" |
 |
The fireworks crew in Idaho Falls. I didn't get any pictures of the actual fireworks,
but it was one of the best fireworks shows I've ever seen. |
8. Apartment sleepover in the living room
 |
| It's really the greatest thing in the world |
9. NAHIOMI CAME TO VISIT!
 |
| Couldn't ask for better friends than these ones |
 |
| We took a nice relaxing trip to Lava Hot Springs, or so I thought... |
 |
Apparently my instinct when being chased by a clown is to jump into the trunk of a car.
So I probably wouldn't do well in a kidnapping situation... |
 |
| Making new friends is always fun |
 |
| Lauren took Nahiomi and I to this adorable place called "Soda Vine" and it was, well, so divine (; |
 |
| Most delicious soda I've ever had |
 |
| It's a me! Mario! |
 |
| So much love for this one. |
10. Floating the river
 |
| I could spend my whole life floating on this river |
11. Cow Appreciation Day
 |
| Dress like a cow and get free food? |
 |
| Heck yes |
12. Potterhead Weekend on ABC family
 |
| Literally jumped out of my bed and screamed when I found out this was happening |
 |
| And I'm still watching it as I type this |
12. Final choir concert of the semester
 |
| Words can't express how much I've loved being a Collegiate Singer this semester |
13. I got my Temple Recommend
 |
| Just a couple more weeks until I get to be endowed! I can't wait! |
14. Idaho is beautiful
 |
| Sorry not sorry I take so many pictures of the temple |
So pretty much, I love it here and I'm not sure I'm ready to leave quite yet. This week will be my last full week here for almost 2 years and I'm definitely ready to be done with the school part of this semester. Taking 17 credits kinda takes a toll on you after a while. But I'm gonna miss this place a whole heck of a lot. I never thought I'd say I love Rexburg, Idaho...but here I am saying it.
I LOVE REXBURG, IDAHO!
As much as I'm not ready to leave here, though, I am ready to see my family and friends back home and spend as much time with them as possible before I go on my mission, which I'm so excited for! I just have too many emotions about all of this. I love Idaho, but I miss home. I want to go on my mission right now, but I'm not ready to be away from everyone for 18 months. I'm grateful to know that Heavenly Father has a plan for me and that my Savior will carry me every step of the way while my life is changing so much.
Well, that was a lot to catch up on, but I finally got it all done. Have a great week everyone!
Love always,
Coley
