I Have A Dream Of Rexburg, Idaho

That's right! It's almost that time again when I'm off to Rexburg for yet another semester of college at BYU-Idaho! This week is the funnest and saddest week that I go through about every three months. Funnest because I'm super excited to travel and see the people I've been missing for three months and because I always do super fun things with the ones I'm about to leave. Saddest because I am about to leave one of my worlds for three months to catch up in the other world. (yeah, it's a rollercoaster life!) 

But this week is different. This week is the first time that I am anxiously waiting for my little sister Ali to come back from her semester at BYU-Idaho. This week is also the last before I take my first roadtrip with my Lovebug, Moriah Fallon to Rexburg. This is also the last week before I start to working to apply for the Social Work program at school. This is the last week before the last semester that my beautiful roommate Rachel is graduating after. Yes, it's going to be a big week and an even bigger semester!

But truthfully, this last week that I wait through (mind only halfway here most days!) is one of my favorite weeks. I get to really enjoy my family and we try and make a special effort to be together before I take off, whether it's a big event or just a few family game nights (which are personally my favorite times). I also really look forward to being in Rexburg, Idaho again. It's so exciting to think of all the things I love to do up there-the places I love to go and the people I love to see-and know that in a few short weeks I will be doing that again. But my real excitement comes from knowing that I will soon be in the arms of the most amazing girls I know-my roommates. They are angels on this earth. I don't think there are enough words in all the languages on the earth to describe how much those five girls mean to me. I love them with all my heart. Those girls, and Rexburg in general, has become such a huge part of who I am and truly has become my first home away from home. 

I Have A Dream Of Beautiful Things

So I have been following my sister's roommate's blogs and I love them! One is her personal blog and she is just so sweet and funny that I think you should all check it out. The other is her shop blog. She has her own brand called Peace Republic Clothing where she makes her own headbands, necklaces, and other amazingly cute things! Through Candace's blog, I found this etsy shop-SO adorable! They have joined together for a giveaway of this beautiful ring!

I Love Cute Blogs

Let me tell you all about my amazing friend Rachel and her blog. Rachel has the best blog I've ever seen! I am totally in love with it! And, not to sound stalker-ish, but I always have to check if she posted something new whenever I open my laptop. She is the type of blogger that I want to be!

Here's why I love her blog so much: (1) She has a theme. A THEME! Oh geez...I never would have thought of that! (Although, she's not actually the first person I saw that had a theme blog, the first was Maggie, but still) Her theme is "I Heart" and that's how she starts her blog posts. Totally cute. (2) The links. Oh the many, many, many links that open my blogging world to all sorts of new and exciting things. I can literally find myself sitting on my computer for hours because I'm looking through the links she posted on her newest blog post. (3) The pictures. This girl ALWAYS has some sort of picture on her posts and I absolutely love it! (4) She's so open, honest, unique, and totally her cute and adorable self on her blog. I love it! Her blog screams with awesome personality. (5) She's always posting something...like at least once a day. I'm lucky to get once a month! 

Yep. That's basically why I love Rachel's blog so much. I am religious about reading it and whenever I see Maggie, we undoubtedly will talk about her newest posting. (Rachel, I think you just found yourself a fan club!) Anyway, I think you should all check out her blog because it's pretty much my favorite thing to read!
