Guess who doesn't get the hang of the whole "blogging" thing?

That would be me!
You wouldn't believe what's happened in my life since my last post. It would take forever to try and explain... so maybe some bullet points?

- Michael, the first boyfriend. He taught me a lot, and while it didn't work out, I learned a lot about myself from the experience.
- Last marching band season. Bittersweet ending to a great 4 years. I have loved every minute of my time with the band, including 4 trips to the Las Vegas Bowl. It got a little straining towards the end, trying to keep up with school and everything, but I wouldn't change anything. BYU football rocks!
- School, school, school. School kind of kicked me in the butt this fall. I got buried deep into late work and couldn't get myself out. So I add an extra semester before I graduate..not too bad of a consequence, but slightly annoying as I saw all of my friends go off to start student teaching without me.
- Mission papers. The mission has been in and out of my life for about the past year. It's been one crazy ride trying to get them turned in, including the stake loosing my medical and dental records. At this particular moment, they're on hold. I feel like I need to finish school and concentrate on my teaching.
-Best for last, Brady! He is the current boyfriend, and I couldn't be happier. We met (ironically) first in Greece while he was still on his mission and I was doing study abroad. But we met officially at band camp, and once I decided to take notice of him, the rest is history! We've had a few ups and downs, but overall we're both doing well, and happy.

Now I'm in my last semester on campus, and for the first time since getting into my major, I am taking some fun classes! I'm feeling optimistic about the semester, and know that I'm where I'm supposed to be right now. As for what te future holds, I'm not sure, but that's ok. I'm looking into getting an internship for my first year of teaching, where I could get half salary and some benefits.
So that's the brief overview of my life since June. Life is great, and I can't wait to move forward!
(I feel like I just wrote a Christmas card...haha)
Good luck to all of you :D
