A quick update.

So, Its been a while since my last blog so I would love to fill you all in on the life of Lauren. Well, school has been going on for about 2 1/2 weeks, and its going great. I only have my two classes, but I really like them. Child development is fascinating, and of course Book of Mormon is great!

As you all know, the economy isn't doing so hot, so the job hunt is still in progress. I thought I had a job at the call center, but then they told me there was no work but to keep calling back in case some comes. So, I've been looking around for some more options. Hopefully I will find something right? On a better note, I started donating plasma! I can get up to $50 dollars a week so thats a plus. Its better than nothing though. Well, thats the financial news. haha

Next, is the roomies! I absolutely love them! Two of them I roomed with last semester, and one is new. Let me introduce you to them:

Janna Mills is from Orem, Utah. She is great! She is the cutest thing, and is always upbeat! She is going into nursing. Oh, and she is a clogger. Its soo cute!

Emily Howell is from Boise, Idaho. She is such a jokester! She is always positive! She is an English major, but she thinks that will change. She loves to read and run!

Megan Bradford is from Sacramento, California. She is the new roomie, and we love her. She is also a nursing major. She loves to take pictures! She is so fun!

We get along great! We take turns making meals for each other, and it works out so well! Lately we've been going to the cheap theatre, making snowmen, and having sleepovers that last all night.

Here we are! Thats me, Megan, Janna and Emily!

Here are some other pics of us lately!

We sure do have fun!
Anyways, what else? Since I have quite a lot of free time, I've been checking out a lot of books from the school library. All Jack Weyland books of course! They are great.

The weather hasn't been too brutal. It has snowed the last few days, but its managable. It must be better than Wisconsin though. No school because its to cold! Brr! I do miss it tho! Although, I do have tons of family in Idaho, and I have my Sammi right here in Rexburg! We've done alot of fun things in the last few days! We've watched way too many movies, walked all around rexburg, made some yummy food, and did I mention that we dyed my hair?! Yes, I have quite the dark hair now!

There it is! It will take a while to get used to, but I really like it! Alright friends, I am done with blog, and will do it again soon! Peace out!

Winter Semester.

Hello friends.

On January 7th a new semester started here at BYU-I. Technically, I shouldn't be at school at this time, but I am enrolled as an off-track student. My normal track is summer/fall, but after much thought and prayer, I decided to stay in the winter as well. Since I am off-track, I only have five credits. I have Child Development and The second part of Book of Mormon. They seem like they will be great!

Since I've been back, I have gotten quite a few things accomplished. I got a new bank account at Zion's Bank, straightened out scholarship information, got all moved in, and found a job at a call center. I know, not the most exciting thing in the world, but its a job right?

Anyways, what else to fill you in with? Christmas was great, and the whole family was together which was awesome! I had a blast with them and especially my niece and nephew! They are cuties! I had a great trip home to Wisconsin, and saw many old friends, and had a blast with my family. I already miss them dearly, but it is also good to be back in Idaho.

Here are some of my favorite Pics from Christmas!
