Moving Out.

I've officially been on my own since last Monday, September 6th. It's been a emotional roller coaster. I've never been so excited/nervous in my entire life. I think about California daily and everyone I left back home. I miss everyone so much. I don't think that I will ever be able to call Rexburg my home, but for educational purposes I think it will serve me well. I can feel my relationships growing with my family members back home, which is a blessing within itself. I call my Mom every single day, just to talk. I love her so much. My parents taught me a lot in my 18 short years of living with them, and I definitely couldnt ask for better parents. I often catch myself thinking about the boys in my life too. Scotty, Addison, Pedro, and most importantly my wonderful Dad. I miss them all so much. But like my Dad told me numerous times before I departed, "It's you who is off doing new things! Not us! Don't get homesick." I love my Dad! even if he doesn't think so sometimes. Lexis...well, all i hope is that she doesn't trash my car. hahah, I love her a lot too, and my little mija, Faythy. And who could forget little Bailey Boo. I love my family, but I do love college.

Classes here are great! I'm a little worried about my Math 108 class, but I'll endure. I love my Human Nutrition Class, and Geography of North America Class! My Book of Mormon teacher is hilarious. This year, her class is focused on the atonement of Jesus Christ. I'm really excited to jump into that class. History is a good class too. I love involving the spirit in every aspect of my education. I already am seeing the changes I want.
