Trip to California

So, one of the vacations I had this summer was going with my boyfriend Jason to visit his family in California. I had never been to southern California before and the one other time I have been to California was visiting San Francisco for a weekend in high school, so it was a completely new experience for me. We had a lot of fun going to the beach, going to a Dodger's game, going shopping, and spending time with Jason's family (his brother had just gotten home from his mission). Anyway, it was a lot of fun. Unfortunately, we didn't take many pictures, but I've attached one that we did take while we were there.

Summer is almost over

So, it seems that the trend in my blogging is to write a blog post about every 4 months, so 3 a year. Not too great numbers, I guess. I should probably update it more often. This sounds very similar to what I write in my journal entries. :)

Archery at the Andelin Reunion

Summer has been great. I did attend Spring Term and that was enjoyable, but I was very excited to not have classes during Summer Term. It has been nice. Several vacations including some reunions, etc. have been a lot of fun. Other than that I have just been working, reading, and having fun in the evenings hanging out with family and friends.

Anyway, school is going to start next week and I have mixed feelings as always. Excitement for new classes, new stuff to learn, new people to meet, etc. Dread for the busyness of homework. I have started ordering my books and am actually very impressed with the BYU Bookstore. On your book list they actually give you the ISBN number, so you don't have to go there to look it up if you want to buy your books elsewhere. In addition, the online book list shows alternate places to buy your books including half.com and amazon. This makes me very happy as I always buy my books online to save some money. Thank you, BYU Bookstore. I'm still trying to find a place to live with my sister. I'm sure we'll find one eventually, but it would be nice to get it done sooner than later. So, there you go. A short update on my life. Maybe I'll find something exciting to post about and get some pictures on here as well.
