Back to school...

So, though I don't often blog, and I do more facebook posts and stalking than anything else, I think it's kind of a fun way to share. 

Being back from Alaska and in Rexburg has proved to be a very difficult transition. We had 4 jobs between the two of us and it was nice to be working hard (though we only survived because we could see the goal-line) and saving money. So we talked for half the summer about going to BSU and the other half realizing BYU-Idaho was going to save us a lot of money and give us a great education. 

So here we are. Back in the Burg! I have mixed feelings about it because it was such a different place when I was single and living here. I have thus far felt like a freshman again. Hopefully it doesn't show... 

The best part of all of it though, is my best friend is with me every step of the way, and I with him. My hubby Sean. Today for example (because now that I'm married I have a syndrome called "random bursts of intense emotion") I needed to get out of the house and we went to the park where one minute we're walking and looking at the pretty fall colors, and the next I looked at Sean and just started balling! I was crying because he was just being so sweet and sat in the grass with me even though I knew he didn't want to. Anyways, welcome to a glimpse of poor Sean's life haha... I promise I'm not always that crazy. 

And to conclude it all, I am feeling much more positive about being here. I have chosen to major in Sociology and plan to graduate either next December or the Fall of 2014. Where am I going with it? Well, if I am lucky enough to get a Masters degree soon after my Bachelors, I would love to be a school counselor. But if not, then the plan is to be a Human Resource Manager or Representative of some sort. Right now, it's looking like the latter which is ok with me. I'm just happy to have such amazing professors here that teach me so much. I love reading my textbooks- and I've decided that's when you know your in the right major :) 

On to more days full of reds, orange and yellows, pumpkin-flavored-anything, haunted houses, scary movies and lets not forget my families crazy 3-months-in-advance-Christmas list!

  1. Nice post Jen. I thought of you during some of the conference talks today, like the one that mentioned social media. Anyway glad you're liking it more here even if you're a non-freshman freshman again. And you like your textbooks! That makes me think about how cool that is and stuff I'm tired good night
