winter 2018

Well this semester has been really great despite that it was winter. I started officially dating Ethan the first week of school and it has been the best decision I have made thus far. I have so much fun with him. We both took the ski class and got season passes to targhee. So we went about 1-2 times every week. It was SO fun. It made my schedule pretty busy. So worth it though. I'm not a professional but I do think I got a lot better at skiing. 

This semester I got to move into the Cedars Women's, they kicked us out of the willows sadly. But this place is super nice. We have hot tubs, hammocks, and a sports court! Ethan moved into the cedars men and ended up being in my ward! I like my ward a lot. My roommates were Kaitlyn, Madison, Kiersten, Alyse, and Kayla. We had a good time together. We played lots of skipbo and watched lots of movies.

For Valentines day I woke up to a knock at the door. Ethan bought me a bouquet of CHICKEN NUGGETS. He is the best boyfriend. He bought me cute succulents and Reese's hearts as well. Oh and He printed pictures of us too. I brought him Chick- Fil-A for lunch. We made healthy fruit/yogurt bowls for dinner. Haha I know random. I then went and cheered him on at his Volley Ball game. I made him and sign. It was a good valentines day.

In February I went to the Killers concert in SLC! Kaitlyn couldn't go anymore so I had to scramble and find someone to go with. Tegan from the MTC went with me and it was so fun! We got really close to the front. It was all my dreams coming true. I also went to Utah for general conference. I went with Ethan and we spent time with family for Easter. Ethan and I tried to get tickets Saturday but just ended up watching it in the tabernacle. We watched the second session outside on the grass. It was so nice. 

We went to Jackson Hole on St. Patricks Day because there was a free Portugal the Man concert. It was so fun. Another artist played before an it was so fun. We got Pizza for dinner beforehand. I love love love concerts. 

My dad came to ski with us during Ethan's birthday. The snow was PERFECT. He took us to Teton Thai which was really good. For Ethan's Birthday we went to Red Robin. It was way fun! 

Something I started dong this semester was volunteering for the special needs Thursday nights. It's callled life skills. And we just do fun things with them and also teach them. It has been so fun getting to know them. They are amazing. For my documentary photography mid term. I took photos of some of them in their houses and it was a really cool experience to get to know them even more. For my final for that class I working on a semester long project with a parter and we photographed and interview working mothers. It was really cool. We made a book of it for our final. 

I got a job too! I work for the Social Media for the bookstore and crossroads. We post a picture and stories every day for their instagrams. We also take pictures of all the produects that the book store sells. It is a really fun and easy going job. I love my coworker Jenelle too.
