BREAK!

I FINALLY GET A BREAK! I am so stoked that I don't have school for 9 days. However, I probably have enough homework to adequately steal away a huge hunk of my time.... boo. This Thanksgiving break is going to be very strange and very different. For the first time in my life, I do not get to go home for Thanksgiving. We can all thank Target for opening at 9pm on Thanksgiving... While I won't get to go  to my own family's dinner, I will still get to be part of a family feast here in Boise at the wonderful Clark Family residence. I am so grateful for them and their hospitality :)

On Friday, after my 10 hour shift (kill me now), we are going on a road trip! I love road trips so much!!! This time, however, it is not Sam and I with our shenanigans, but instead, six of my closest friends traveling to attend our dear friend Sharaysa's baptism! I am so excited for her! I met her in September and I am so happy! We are able to each other because of our mutual experiences, and I love having someone who understands!

Hopefully, i'll have another post on or before Thursday, but for now I want to send a shout out to some friends and family whom are on my mind:


  • Pretzels (aka my best roommate Jasmine)
  • Mi mama
  • My favorite baby cousin Rachel
  • My boy :)
  • My Florida friends (Chelsea, Brooke, Karen, and Katie)
Just a few for now! I love you all! 


Until Next Time.

The Good Life is One Inspired by Love and Guided by Knowledge -Bertrand Russell

Hello! It has been months since I've blogged, and oh how my life has changed! It is crazy how things are so completely different now then how i thought they would be three months ago. I will divide this post into two parts: September and October.

September

1. I love my roommate. The tears that came in June were completely worth it, because the result of it was that Jasmine and I became roommates. We are such good friends! (We volunteered together for my honor society, Lambda Pi Eta, at the Hemophilia Walk!

2. I also love Flip. Flip is our handheld flip camera with whom we film the craziness of our lives. We probably made about 30 videos in September alone. We are going to make a YouTube channel with them... if we ever get around to editing. You all (meaning all of my millions... or 10 viewers) must subscribe when it comes into existence.

3. We got Cat! At the beginning of the month we were really lonely and dealing with boy drama, so we went on a search. We drove around for hours on Labor Day and finally found a shelter that was open. We walk out of that place as Jasmine, Jasmine, and Robin. Yes; our cat's name is Jasmine. And No, we did not name her that. After the occasionally confusion in the house, however, we began to call her Cat Jasmine, and how its just Cat.... We must give her away now though :(

4. BARN DANCE! We went to a barn dance put on by our church ward, and it was so much fun! Jasmine and I bought some adorable cowboy boots at Target, and danced the night away.


October
1. Dates Dates Dates. I've gone on a lot of dates this month and I love it! It has introduced me to a bunch of new people, and I've had a blast! Oh yeah... and the boy is pretty great too!

2. We went to Oregon! Sam and I took a mini road trip to La Grande to visit our friend Molly, who got married last December. We love her so much and we had such a great time catching up!


3. Tickets. Over the span of a week and a half, Sam, Jasmine, and I all got tickets. Sam and mine were for speeding, and Jasmine's was for expired registration. That means a lot of money going to the court.... that meant no new clothes for Robin this month :(

4. I love missionary lessons. I've had some things that I was very concerned/confused about. However, after a good long talk with a good friend, and a LOT of prayer, things got better and I feel like i'm in a better place. Recently, we had the most amazing lesson I've ever had. The Spirit was SO incredibly strong. It was amazing and touching and testimony-strengthening :)

5. We had the best Halloween costumes EVER! Myself, Wes, Sharaysa, Tia, and Colton made the most creative and awesome ghost costumes, and Jasmine and Acen made themselves PacMan and Ms PacMan! It made it even better because we had a church activity at the Corn Maze! We got so many compliments and had so much fun chasing Acen and Jasmine throughout the night!


I love my life and I love all of my friends! Things are going so well for me and I feel on top of the world :)



Until Next Time.
