New Life.

I barely survived my first week of college. I'm kidding...I loved it. Its been quite the adventure.
My roommates are wayyy cool. We get along way too well...usually end up talking about awkward dates until in the wee hours of the morning. They are the greatest. We have had lots of new learning experiences in the week we have been together. The dishwasher tried to turn our kitchen into a hot tub. (amazing what the wrong dish soap can do!) Also the toilet was feeling left out, so he decided to overflow in the bathroom. Yay for new experiences!!!
Adjustments: Food. I have had fried tortillas 3 times this week. Wooh! I also have my collection of sugar cereals that I never get tired of. :)
School part: It really hasn't been as bad as I thought it would. It's already been a huge blessing being at my church school. I absolutely love it. I have had a constant prayer in my heart throughout this week and I have truly felt the Lord watching out for me.
Singles Ward, soooo different, it is so very quiet, I can hear my stomach growling and everyone breathing, its a weird thing. But it has been fun!I got a job on campus and I am loving it so far! I feel so old!
College is way different than I was expecting it to be, but I am grateful for these new experiences that are shaping me into the person I want to be! :)
Our sweet dishwasher. He just wanted to help clean the floor.

Yay for scrambled eggs and bagels! Favorite meal this week!

Changes in Life!

Since I am beginning a new chapter of my life, college, yikes, I've decided it may be about time to start one of these things. This maybe the only time I actually write haha. Life is changing, that's for sure! Getting ready to move out, paying $100 on a Math book, realizing every guy is going to be a Return Missionary and aggressive and ready to marry. YIKES! But then again, some things don't change, like my clumsiness, I broke a candle in Walmart the other day. So why can't I just go back to the 4th grade with Trey? Where things are simple and you really are only worried about if you get a brownie in your lunch!? I guess that's the reason why I am planning on majoring in Elementary Education! ;)

What am I most worried for...yes the school work....and yes the cooking for myself. My cooking has improved since age 13 when I burnt ramen noodles at a friends house, but that's another story. I don't know how long I can handle quesadillas, top ramen, and boxed mac n cheese. I now know that scrambled eggs, you have to mix the eggs and milk before you put them in the pan, that way they taste a little better!  I did get a very adorable blender that is turquoise, so I can make german pancakes!! But other than those few things I may be visiting the Crepe Corner multiple times with my friends, tracking down my dad for a few lunch dates, and coming home and stealing some delicious food that I've taken for granted the last 18 years:)

Summer I will miss you. I had a great time at my favorite place in the world, Lake Coeur d'Alene. I improved my wakeboarding skills (trying to keep up with Mitch) and wiped out many times while tubing. I also have been working at snocone shack, the happiest place on earth, or should I say yummiest?;)   Its been hard saying those dumb goodbyes to amazing friends but its part of life! I am very grateful for all of my friends serving missions for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. I have been talking to a few weekly and they are such a strength to me. They give me challenges and help me with many questions I have. They are so selfless, going and escaping their lives for two years and serving the Lord and by bringing people unto Him. I know they are called by God to teach in certain places that need them. My testimony has grown so much this summer. I am grateful for the gospel in my life. I know with all my heart that it is the only true church on earth today. It brings such hope and happiness into my life. I know that only thru the temple and following in Christ's footsteps that we can return to Him and that families can be together beyond this life, forever. It comforts me that Christ atoned for my sins and that whatever mistake I make, He has felt it. I know without a doubt that God hears and answers our prayers and loves us so much. I know the Book of Mormon is the word of God and that President Thomas S. Monson is His mouthpiece on earth today. I'm grateful for my knowledge of this gospel.

 
Kindra's first time at the temple

We love lake time!



Well sorry to be churchy but I wanted to share that!! I am excited for all that is headed my way! Thrilled for new adventures on campus! Grateful that I am still close to family and can call up my mom to bring me homemade cookies or come home to do laundry! BYU-Idaho ready or not here I come! :)
