Many moons ago....lol

Over the last 7 months I have been attending school and it has been tough, but well worth it! I have been taking organic chemistry, microbiology, biochemistry, and a few fun classes too. It has all paid off as I was just interview for pharmacy school and then just last week I found out that I will be in the program at ISU.
I just celebrated my 33rd birthday this week during spring break. I didn't do anything major like I had hoped to but that is just because the roads to Yellowstone National Park, and Mesa Falls are still covered with snow. I have never been snowmobiling, or cross country skiing so I couldn't go do that. One day I will see those areas with snow on them. So instead, I spent the day in Idaho Falls, then met up with my best friend and her daughter for dinner with my sister too. We went to IHOP which was great!. Funny thing though is that I didn't take any pictures there or even be sung to. But for my sister's birthday in February we all went to Texas Roadhouse and she was sung to and sat on a saddle. It was really cool.
With all of that said that is why I haven't been blogging during the last few months. And the funny thing is...that now I have been accepted to Pharmacy School, things are only going to get crazier!. I get to do 200 unpaid pharmacy hours during the summer and get paid for some too, in order to make it through the summer and still pay all of my bills. It will be a busy summer, but I will make some time to go a few places too. Hopefully I will make it up to Coeur d'Alene, and then over to Portland. But pharmacy hours come first!
Also I had gone out on a few dates over the last 4 months, but I know that the guy I have gotten to know is just a friend. The day will come when I will meet the man of my dreams who can take me to the temple and always want to attend the temple with me.
Here are a few pictures from my adventures...

 The new sign for Idaho State University
Sept 2012

 The Twin Falls, ID temple. The first time that I went there was in October 2012 on my way to the open house of the Boise, ID Temple. It was a beautiful morning. The one beneath is me with the temple behind.

 The newly remodeled Boise, ID temple. This is the temple that I went to before my mission and it has the same basic structure but looks different on the outside. It is beautiful. here are a few pictures that I took from that weekend.

 This is a map of where all the temples are. It was quite impressive.

 This is the window that I stood by just after my very first endowment session back in 2001. It was nice to stand by it again.

 This is the city sign for Meridian where I lived as a teenager.

 Then it was back to home in Pocatello, and in November the snow began to fall. Here I am after church with snow on the ground.

 The new bengal Tiger monument on campus next to the student union building. It was very impressive and I am glad that we have it to look at now.

 The Rexburg, ID temple that I go to quite often because I love going up to Resburg to see friends and hang out on BYU-Idaho campus. They had a nativity scene by the temple

 BYU-Idaho campus...picture of the Taylor quad looking towards the Kimball and Taylor buildings.

 The Idaho Falls temple in December with Christmas lights, and a nativity scene.
