Family,
Thank you for the birthday wishes it was very thoughtful of you i miss you all very much and cant wait to see you guys at Thanksgiving its true that i am loving it here its such an awesome experinece! i want all of you guys to come down here and be with me of course but i feel myself i have grown so much just in these past two weeks you learn to save money, do your homework well, be friendly and have fun. I have got out of my comfort zone quite a bit. I have a FHE group now and they are awesome all returned missionaries one of our girls was sick and they were able to give her a blessing it was really neat seeing that happen and they are all very sweet and friendly. Yes i switched rooms and roomates my roommate now Janice is awesome she is so fun and so sweet in every way she reminds me how beautiful i am every day and i love her to death she is fun also and we enjoy each others company very much! we have devotionals every tuesday and its very cool to be part of that the things you learn there will just blow you away they all do a very good job. My cooking skills have been doing just fine i can cook meals i call mom for help once in a while but i am healthy and eating healthy as well. Yes i have met some one all of you know by now i am sure his name is Marc and he is very sweet and fun to be around we go to the library and i actually get a lot done considering that he is so excited to leave on his mission in a few months and grandma says he comes from a great family and from what i hear he does. Everyone down here is sweet and friendly they always have a smile on their face my classes are going great i love the feeling of saying a prayer or singing a hymn before class starts and i especially love how everything we talk about will relate to the gospel in some way or another. My roommates are great i got very lucky yeah two are a littl odd but still awesome girls we have Janice she is from Idaho Falls so we go there some times on Saturdays we have Katie and Kim they are from Canada and they are tons of fun both very tall 5'9 and 5'11 tall and sweet we have Jenna from Virgina and she is sweet as well and then Amanda from Texas i get along with everyone of them we tend to have dinners every night one of us will cook something and we sit and eat togehter or have boys over quite a bit. I am so glad i got the oppurtunity to come down here to school i wasnt sure i wanted to at first but i love it and i have grown from it so much i miss you and love you all tons let me know whats going on with all of you alright i want to be updated on things oh and David if you do go on a date let me know ok? i love you all and cant wait to hear back from you!

Climbing the back of the sand hill we had contests to touch the rock before waves came and found new ways to hike this time beautiful sites mom was at home with michael this night.

Sand dollar hunting early in the morning Michael wanted me to carry a box for him and ended up by the end i was carrying all of his and i had none in the box he found small shells and half sand dollars picked up every little shell he could find he was my buddy that morning and we had lots of fun. by the end dad and joey and jamin took turns carrying him back to the house.

We went to the Coast for my senior trip i decided i wanted to take everyone with me cause it was one of my last trips before i left and this is my favorite place in the world so one of the days we went crabbing most all of you know already we caught 51 crabs in all! we also had a lof of fun doing it as well
