So like I said in my earlier post, there are a crazy amount of birthdays in January. Today is Laura's! Laura Nielson....HAPPY BIRTHDAY! I hope you have an amazing 21rst birthday and that it's a happy one! You make me laugh like nobody's business and I just can't help but crack up whenever we're doing something stupid. Lol. Let us never forget Brother Kern, Brother Crisp (whoops, I mean Dr. Crisp), and Brother Babcock. Good times...haha. Happy Birthday!
And for tomorrow....Happy Birthday Amanda! You will also be 21 and I also hope you have an amazing birthday! Our road trip was crazy, but so much fun! You too, constantly make me laugh and sharing "boy stories" is always so much fun too. Have a good day tomorrow!

January Happenings
So it is January. A new year and a new semester. And I'm finally updating my blog! (Thanks Laura!) I'm still and English major and still working like crazy to get things done. I'm actually taking a screen writing class this semester which I am WAY excited about. I've already got my idea and characters mapped out. All I have to do is write it! That's going to be the rough part, but fun. So I'll keep you updated on how that is coming along as well. I'm also taking Old Testament this semester, which is AWESOME! I absolutely love this class. I have learned so much already, and we've only been in class for a couple of weeks. It's great.
Other big news....I turned 21! Woo Hoo! What did I do? I just a few friends over and we ate food, played games, laughed, w/e, and had a really good time. It was a lot of fun and really nice to have a local, small, get-together thing. It was nice. I was also able to get together with Amanda and Shanda for lunch which was also fun because we all have birthdays in the month of January, and when we were kids, it was so crazy because our birthday parties were ALL in a row. And we haven't been all together for our birthdays in a long time, so it was fun to get together and chat for awhile.
Life in Rexburg is cold....as usual. But fun. I love it here. And I'm REALLY excited about tomorrow because Elder D. Todd Christofferson is coming for devotional tomorrow and I have a ticket! I just feel extremely blessed to be able to have the opportunity to hear him speak, in person. The note taking pressure is on! I have a feeling tomorrow will be a good day.
Well, nothing else too exciting. But I have decided to use this blog as not only an update on my life, but also on the books that I am reading. I have become a read-a-holic! I am constantly reading something! I guess that comes with being an english major. So, I have decided that after I finish a book, I'll blog about it, recommend it, etc. It'll probably start tomorrow.
Class time! Got to run. See ya!

It's the most wonderful time of the year...
Hooray for updating blogs! Woo hoo. So I only have three more days of school left. I am SOO excited! I am ready to go home and see my family. Thanksgiving break was amazing and I had so much fun. It was so nice to see my family and friends in Provo/Salt Lake. My uncle and I even had a mini guitar "jam session." I was horrible, but it was fun. It was just so nice to be with family. It made me realize how much I love my family and how important they are. I didn't get to spend it with my parents and sister, but that's ok. I had fun with my extended fam. It was hard coming back to school, but it had to be done and I have been working so hard. Hopefully all that work will pay off and will show in the grading area (Please, please, please!). It finally snowed! CRAZY! I can't believe it hasn't snowed till now. By this time last year we had almost 3-4 feet! I just hope the weather isn't too horrible for traveling this weekend. We'll see! Finals are almost here, and I gotta get studying. Love ya'll! See home soon!

Updates and photos...
Wow! I can't believe it has been over a month since I have written in this thing! Let's play catch up!
For starters, Ultimate Frisbee season finished on Saturday and I had such a good time working the games. The teams are really competitive which made for some good injuries (broken collar bone, broken foot, busted nose, etc) but it was so much fun. There were a couple people I had to bandage up and all that weren't all that great to work on because of their attitude, etc but for the majority I had such a good time.
School is crazier than I thought it would be. I am CRAMMING to read books for YA Lit class and I'm just trying to stay on top of things. The semester has gone by SO fast! Next week is Thanksgiving break, and then after that we only have two more weeks of school and then we're done! AGH! Sometimes I think it goes by too fast, but I am sortof ready for it to be done, and to be able to go home.
Rachel comes home from her mission in one week and a day! I am so excited to be able to talk to her! I won't get to see her till Christmas break, but that's ok. That's another reason I am so ready to be home. Plus, see everyone else as well.
So I've never posted pictures on my blog before, so I hope these turn out ok. I'm really trying to get into photography and possibly start my own little side business which I think would be awesome! Like doing engagements, graduation pics, etc. This bunch isn't even half of the stuff I've taken and experimented with but these are the most recent and to upload the others would probably take WAY too much time! I hope this works! Hopefully there will be more to come as well. (P.S. - all editing was done at picnik.com; I love this site! You can do all sorts of cool things with your pictures! Check it out!)
These are pictures of my roomate Bethany, her family, and our neighbors! I also one from a friend's wedding, and a couple others that I just felt like playing around with.

Random Things...
Yay for finding a job! So I am officially an "Ultimate Frisbee Manager." Pretty much, I set up the field and provide first aid to any injured player. It doesn't sound exciting, but it is! I like it and it's nice to watch the games too. Except for some annoying fans, I like it! And the schedule is amazing too. So it's nice.
School is starting to wind down in craziness, but it keeps me on my toes too. I love school. Sad, I know, but I do. Tonight our ward is having a special FHE with President Clark and his wife. I am so excited! I love listening to them speak. This is my third FHE with them, which apparently is very rare. Some students are lucky to have one! So I feel extremely blessed.
Even though I enjoy school, I cannot wait for the semester to be over because then I can see my sister! She is coming home from her mission two days before Thanksgiving and I am oh SO excited to see her! Woo Hoo! I am definately looking forward to Christmas this year. :)
For my young adult literature class we are required to read 25 books this semster. So far, I have read 6, I think. Pretty close to that anyways. At first I was booking it through but now things have started to slow down and I have to read 13 total by the 13th. AGH! Craziness! So it looks like I am in for some hard core reading marathon's this week. But as I read these books, I thought I could put in my blog one's I liked or hear about from someone else, because other's might like some good reading material or whatever. I don't have any books right now, but I do have a movie to share. It's called "Bella." It was beautiful! It's about how one moment in someone's life can significantly change a person's future. There are two main characters and the movie covers a single day in their life and portrays where their life was, where it is now, and what it will be like. It is also about love, forgivness, and family. I know I don't give the best description, but you can IMDB it if you want. It was REALLY good and I recommend it!
Much homework to do and little time to do it. See ya!
Much Love. Liz

Back to School
So I'm officially back in the Burg. Life is good. :) School is definately keeping me really busy and things can be a little crazy from time to time. But I love it and things will calm down, I'm sure. I'm also looking for a job which has been somewhat of a trial. Again though, things are starting to look up and it might just happen! Not a whole to say, but I'm sure more will come!

Home
So I've been home for about a week and a day now. It's been nice to relax and sleep in (WAY in...) and to just hang out but I'm kind of ready to get to work now. I'm ready to get back on a steady schedule and I need to be waking up earlier anyways. :P But that also involves going to bed earlier which I am not so good at. Even though the time difference is only two hours, my body is having a hard time adjusting to the difference. And I've been feeling really sick too. Hopefully this will all pass soon. I'm tired of being bored. Lol. But I know that in about a month or so, I'll be thinking, "I want a break!!!" Gotta find the middle ground.
I haven't even been home that long and I kind of want to be back at school. I left lots of really good friends behind this year and I want to go back to classes (crazy, yes.) I miss the atmosphere and everything. But home is nice too.
On Sunday I got to substitute in primary and I did singing time. It was so much fun. I love those kids! They are so cute! It was just fun to be working with kids again and it was pretty good practice considering teaching will be my career for a little while. I graduate in two years, I am SOO excited. I was thinking about it the other day and I just couldn't help but be excited to start that chapter of my life even though it is two whole years away. I'm still looking forward to it. It's gonna be rough though. Definately NOT easy with my classes and all. I'll be getting into the hardcore classes for my major. I gotta kick it into high gear!
