Amy is my name...

Just a few things about me:
-I am a major bookworm. Is there anyone else that can get so involved in a book that he/she refuses to put it down, and when he/she finally finishes it, he/she goes through a period of depression where the book is all he/she thinks about? (I told you!)
-I have a particular addiction to peanut butter fudge where I gain at least 10 pounds whenever I can get my hands on some.
-I love Jane Austen and will read and/or watch any of her works.
-You can usually find me listening to music of all different kinds. You may also be unfortunate enough to find me singing along.
-I wish I was Sleeping Beauty.
-I love to look for rainbows (whenever there is rain) in my spare time.

BYU-Idaho!

I'm finally here at school and I'm having the time of my life! Besides getting lost multiple times, having sore legs and getting late to my math class, I love every second! Campus is beautiful and everyone smiles all the time. It was strange for me at first, because my high school was full of grumpy people and if I happened to make eye contact with someone down the halls, they would look away. If, even more rare, I got a chance to smile, they would look at me suspiciously and start walking faster. Now I don't know if it was just me or not.
Ah, my roomies are amazing! I am really lucky to live with them. Oh, but they are ALL completely boy-crazy and I'm not. (I'm man-crazy) Ha! Just joking. Then again, no. I'm kinda serious.
Anywho, I miss my family quite a bit. Especially my nieces. I'm kind of obsessive actually. I look at pictures of them every night before I go to bed. ( I told you.)
The thing I really love about this school though is that I finally feel like I fit in somewhere. I don't have to worry about people using dirty language or seeing more of a person's body than I EVER wished to see. It's amazing! Another thing is that the men here are so respectful. I no longer hold the door open for boys! Yay!
I really am incredibly grateful to be here and I'm looking forward to other adventures!

Off To School!

So I'm leaving tomorrow for school and I am absolutely thrilled. I am excited to be living on my own (or at least as much as I can with 5 other girls). The only thing I am going to miss about my tiny hometown is my 2 adorable nieces. I got to watch them all this summer and loved every second. Today is my last day and I just can't get enough of them.

Sweet facts about my nieces:

-Haylee loves to play with my hair. Especially when she's tired. She gets upset when I get up because she cannot play with my hair then.

-Carlee is usually very sweet. Actually one of the most mellow babies I have ever seen. But when she does get upset, she loves it when I sing rock-a-bye baby to her. Which is amazing if you think about it because my voice sounds like a dying animal. She also laughs when I whistle.

- Emily isn't here yet but I love to talk to her (baby talk of course) through April's tummy and she gives me a swift kick in the hand. It's very sweet. Though she is probably just trying to get me to shut up. HayleeCarleeEmily
