MO MILLA update. Finals have stolen me from blogging

Dude. Sorry peeps that it has been soooo long since I have posted last! School has been consuming my every second ( as it should be right now) but I have gotten pretty behind with my postings!!! So here is an update of the last month or so, and SIGNIFICANT HAPPENINGS that have occured: 

1. I played the WII for the first time in my life!!!! (WII TENNIS=BOMB!!!!) 
2. "BLG Boys and Co."  make it to the top 8 in BYU Co-Ed Intermurals Soccer 
After destroying the Lanaihilators 8-0, and many other teams, we finally lost, only two games short of the T-shirt :( It was a sad day for all of us, but we had some good times on the field. Including one time when we had a game right after football practice and I was surrounded by like 300 football players (aka I was in heaven) 

3. EASTER BBQ @ Derald's 
It is so fun to be so close to my brother Derald! He boug
ht an adorable little house last summer, just like 2 blocks from me. It was really fun to all be together as a little CO. crew, and enjoy some good times together on Easter. I love him so much, and I'm so glad we've got to be as close as we are now!


4. ESPANOLANDIA
BYU does a foreign language fair every year for the local High Schools. Me and my two friends DaniBree and Betsy worked at the "recuerdos" stand, where we sold keychains, burros,  little wooden toys, and little sombreros. The kids had to speak in spanish the whole time, and if they didn't we had to call the "policia" on them! haha it was very entertaining, and the thought of teaching became very real. It made me realize how limited high school kids really are in there SPanish abilities. It made me realize that all the classes Im in now, are totally above the level I would ever teach. Anyways, it was super entertaining to talk to them in their broken, horrible spanish, haha, it made me feel a lot better about my speaking abilities. PLUS, I gota 93% on my spanish Oral, meaning I was in the Intermediate-Advanced level of fluency. That made me pretty happy, and feel like I am still progressing! :) 
Me and DB modeling the little "sombreritos" we sold. keep in mind we were there at 7 am, that explains how hot I look..

5. SNOW BLIZZARD in APRIL??!?!!! Welcome to Provo, UT. Well, I'm peacing out. Hello EUROPE!!!!!!

6. I gave in to the WWW again. I am now a TWITTER-er (ummmm. TWEET ME/ follow me? I think is the technical lingo...) 
There has recently been a new buzz going around, or maybe I should say there have been many "tweets" lately, about this new Twitter Nation frenzy! I first heard about it from an anti-facebooker/Twitter lover, and I didn't even get it. Then I forgot about it and was watching OPRAH, and they did a whole show on it of which I was intrigued by!! Mainly the whole chase to 1 million between Ashton and CNN, but I gave in to another WWW time- consumer, and it hasn't really sink in yet. I'm still trying to figure it all out, but I think I have like 15 people I'm following...WOOO. kind of a big deal!!!!

7. I LEAVE FOR SPAIN in 8 DAYS!!!!!! 
I have been just goign crazy with finals, and I don't think it has really sunk in yet, that in almost one week I will be on a Study abroad in Spain!!!! I am seriously sooooooo excited!!!! It is going to be an incredible experience!! My first time to Europe, and my first Study Abroad!!! I have been writing my buddy Elder Gordon who is serving in Spain, and it has been so fun hearing all about what I have to look forward to. I find myself up late at night "googling" images of Madrid, just dreaming, but in just 8 days it will be a reality!!! YAYAAAAAAAAA!!!!! CAN't WAIT!!!!!!

saying goodbyes :( 

I love these girls so much!! I don't know where I would be without them!! 3 OH 3 Fo EVA!! :) 
Leslie's Birthday! 23 --I love her so much!!!

8. Last Sunday at Lanai. Got me some Lanai'in lovin' 
I have lived at Lanai almost two years and I have seriously LOVED IT. It has been the most amazing ward with some of the coolest people I have ever met! I have made amazing friendships!!!Good thing I will be back at the end of the summer to spend July and August with Lanai :) Summers here are great! 







9.  Discovery of my new favorite SUSHeeS @ Happy Sumo-- "THE PLAYBOY"and "THE VENUS"  (not to be confused withe the VEGAS)
