One down... how many more to go???

Well, Spring Semester finally ended!! And can I tell ya, WOW finals weeks was LONG. I had to do a group project for my History final, which of course I did practically all by myself because I actually CARE about my grade! lets just say by the end of the week I was so stressed out, and had not slept enough that my left foot twitched constantly for about 3 days... which didn't help the whole sleeping thing! But we ended the semester pretty well; Pat got all A's and I got an A in guitar, a B+ in History and a B in New Testament. I am so glad we did well this semester

So I started the Pre-requisites for the English program, and WOW did I have an experience. So, I like English...but I don't think I want to do it as a profession! So I decided to switch things up a bit. I decided to just go for it... I am going to try to get into the Business school here at BYU, I will be taking other classes that count toward a major, as a back up plan- just in case!

But for now I am working on the classes I need to get into the school. I think I CAN do well, as long as I actually TRY! (what a concept... right?) So this semester I am taking Algebra, reviewing for Calculus next semester, and I am taking an Isys class with Pat. It's fun to be in the same class, except his style of learning is a bit different than mine. He likes to comment A LOT about things... and now that i am sitting next to him he decides to share these wonderful tidbits of information with me. I don't mind, except i lose track of what the teacher is saying... great! But I really like the class so far. Who knows maybe I will go into Isys?!?!?

So today I took my first Algebra test... got a 100% on it woooo hoooo!!!! Never in my LIFE have I gotten a 100% on a math test, I am pretty excited!!!!

maybe just maybe I could do this! it will take a lot more time to complete my college career, but if i actually come out of it with something I like, and am good at, it will be worth it. I keep telling myself it's better to try and fail, than to not try at all!!!

Hope ya'll are doing wonderful! Enjoy the summer!!

~~SUMMER~~

So today after work I went to the pool for the first time!! Summer is officially stared! I LOVE the summer! I am going to spend ANY extra time this summer at the pool!! I just have to find that extra time because I will still be working and going to school!

OH and guess what?!?!?! I got a B+ on my History Midterm! YAY Being married really helps the grades because you become a loser and never go out! :)

So we decided to get rid of our cable it is so LAME that Utah doesn't have Verizon FIOS yet, because we LOVED that. But we were NOT impressed with DISH at all!! So we decided to try out Netflicks. it streams right into our XBOX and it has been awesome! We get the DVDs in the mail, but we also have instant movies and TV shows streaming, so I can watch pretty much anything I want! YAY

Patrick's favorite part of this is that in order for it to go through our XBOX we had to get XBOX live... so he is playing HALO online with all the rest of the nerds! :)

Hope ya'll are having a wonderful summer

make the most of it!!!

Michael and Aubrey Lydiksen

Today Michael and Aubrey were sealed for Time and all Eternity in the Salt Lake Temple. The ceremony was beautiful, and I am so happy that I have a new sister that is just so wonderful!

Mr and Mrs Lydiksen

A little catch up

So this is what happens when you wait to do laundry for like.... well..... ENTIRELY too long!!!

Keep in mind this is a king size bed full of clothes. I hate laundry!

Well, anyway I am sick today... have been for about a week, the stomach flu is a killer! But so today I have been sleeping, watching movies and doing laundry. Well, maybe DOING laundry is not the right word, I have been switching the laundry... folding is a different story!

LOST tomorrow

Michael's wedding in a week!!!

Rain

So it's raining today. usually this doesn't bother my- i actually like the rain... but I got dressed cute today and now I have to go trudging outside on campus. Oh well! i took my History midterm.(just finishes, now i'm sitting in the library trying to avoid doing homework) I hope I did OK, I'm nervous. I think I have done well on all my essays though, so hopefully it will even out!

Tonight is the last REAL episode of LOST and then the season finale... gasp what am i going to do with myself?

So I would like to start suggesting good books that I read to you.

HUNGER GAMES

both of these books are awesome and I can't wait until the third book comes out!

I was skeptical about this next one, i mean ALIENS come on... right... Ok i was wrong I really liked this book! I would Definitely read this one- its a little long but i really enjoyed it

one of my fav photos of Thomas

This is right after he opened his mission call. i think it says it all!!

My Bad

OK, so I'm not very good at keeping this thing up, but I think MAYBE 2 people read it so, I don't feel THAT bad!

So school started! I am so happy that we are finally getting back to school. I have about a year and a half left, so hopefully I will graduate Fall 2011. I can't wait. I am going to study English, and eventually i would like to teach High School English. but we will see. All I've got to say is that WOW Spring and Summer semesters are SHORT. I swear all I have been doing since I started was homework. I have my MIDTERM on Tuesday. It's pretty crazy! but I am enjoying this semester. For fun i am taking a guitar class, I really like it, so I might keep pursing it!

So I got a new job! I was working up at American Fork which is a good 25-30 min drive from here. So I have been looking to get a position a little closer, and I finally did! YAY! it is about 4 min away, and I am bumping up my hours. So for the next couple of months I am going to be pretty busy working full time and going to school, so wish me luck!

(I would put pictures up, but for some reason i cant figure it out all of my pictures upload as a link, and I can move them or size them. any help would be awesome!)

this is a post form mother's day that I never got around to posting, so enjoy!

This Mother's was was really fun, since I am not a mom yet it is a little different how we celebrate. We pretty much just had dinner with friends and family! It was so much fun, I love Sundays- the rest of the weeks is so hectic you really don't have any time to see anyone,so Sunday is really the only day we can all get together. Ever since we have moved to Utah we have stared the Traditional Sunday Movie Night. We just have everyone over I make treats, and people bring treats and we just hang out and watch movies. It is probably one of the things I look forward to(except for LOST,... but I will get to that later!)

So this week we had dinner and then watched...

TRON

oh wow, wow... I don't recommend this unless you have 2 hours of PURE boredom because well WOW is all I can say. We watched it because they are making a sequel. All I got to say is I really hope it is better than the first on because... wow

OK I cannot wait for the Series Finale of LOST oh its gonna be awesome!
