Where to start from when I left off. I got into Rexburg, ID on Sept 2nd at approximately 4:15pm. I waited outside a bit and then up pulled the most beautiful blue Chevy Cavalier I've ever seen (named Beesly). What made it so beautiful was the fact that one of my roommate and best friends was in it!!!!! AMIE!!!! It had been too long since I had seen her. We basically put all of my luggage at the apartment and then ran around Rexburg to get food and other stuff. I went over to her brother and sister-in-laws house and chilled for a while. It was good to rest after the long travel and just hang out. I paled around with Amie for the first couple of days and her parents took me under their wing. I'm so thankful that I have so much support in so many different places. I didn't want to hone in too much on the Vreeken Family so I let them do their own thing too. I also got to see Megan and her mom. We went to a bridal shop and Megan picked up her WEDDING DRESS! I can't believe she's getting married....her dress is soooo Megan and will work well with her style. We all know that May 22nd can't come soon enough for her. :) Again I felt like I was taken under their wing as well. Heavenly Father truly will never leave us alone...I gained a greater testimony of that. I wasn't worried that I'd be alone but I didn't imagine I'd be so taken care of.
Since then it's been reuniting and starting up new friendships. I saw my old roomie Lindley as well...last sunday she got engaged!!! We all are so stoked for her! (stoked is my new word I like to use) The ward is still as awesome as ever...and we met our FHE bros....who we already think are WAY awesome! We got paired one guy apt with one girl apt so it's only 12 people which was nice for a change....it's fun with a lot of people but sometimes you don't get to know the people that well.
Now for the school part! I'm taking 17 credits and so far I'm feeling overwhelmed. I have a lot of projects, volunteering, and experience learning I have to do..and they're those things that are up to you to get done and they always say "don't wait until the end of the semester" so I'm trying to heed that council. Next Tuesday I'm going to have seeing difficulties and on Thursday I'll be in a wheelchair. This is all for a class about students with special needs...I'm actually excited to see how it feels and get a little insight into what some people go through. I also have a resource file that I have to make...I'm not talking about it....it only makes me have to breathe in and out very deeply. I have a good amount of time on Tuesdays and Thursdays so I think I'll be taking advantage of that. Anyways this post has no pictures or anything fancy...just an update. I'll let you know if I survive until next week...

I've actually been using Stoked regularly too! It's amazing that we still have the twin thing (or favorite thing) even if we are 1,000 miles apart! And remember just take it easy don't over load and when you need to Break do it! If ever you need anything you know you have plenty of support here and there! Don't fret and ask for help if you need it!
Icka! So glad you posted something. I was afraid that I would have to get on facebook just to keep up with you. I haven't been good about blogging at all. I am glad you are reconnecting with all your friends. I am sad you are no longer at home. December will be here before we all know it. I love you. I am so thankful to those families who take care of you. Kiss, kiss...chomp...chomp.
Mom
Don't worry...you can wait until the end of the semester...
...I just recommend not making any other plans that week! :)
Arica - we are so glad we were in town to help you with your transition from home to school again and even happier that you were there for Amie to make that same transition. She had been so anxious to get back to Rexburg (not that she doesn't love us at home also). It is a special time for all you girl (who we just love) and so we were glad she got to hang out with you also. It was fun to have you with us! I wanted to bring ice cream and have fun one night but we were so busy at Paul's puttin ghis windows in. Sorry we missed that but I will owe your girls an ice cream when I see you again. Lots of love, Mama Vreeken.
