I have always heard good things about BYU-I. I have always heard how everyone just loves it and that it's different here then anywhere else...and i'm officially a firm believer in that, this place is different. When Braydon and I had first gotten here and we were driving through the town literally the only thing i could think was "wow, where in the crap am i!?" When Braydon left, i was scared to death to be honest, i was left in this middle of nowhere place with no car, no way to really get out. After the initial shock of everything had worn out i went out and walked around the campus a little bit, just to see if i could actually find my way to all my classes the next day. The campus is a lot bigger then i expected but really, not much bigger then my high school campus. It's gorgeous! They keep up the ground so nice and everything is so clean and well kept. The dorms are a bit ghetto, but i think that's kinda expected for college dorm rooms. My roommates are all awesome, and we seem to be getting along pretty well already. We're all kinda doing our thing at this point, but are having our first meal together tonight. TACO!(mere that is for you) Anyway, my classes all went well. I've never been hit on so much in my entire life, it's really funny the things you get asked sometimes. I dropped my communications class because i have my chemistry and math class that are going to be a bit more challenging and i don't need the comm. credits. I have seen so many people that i know, it's always good to see a familiar face. I get a good work out everyday, there are tons of little hills all around campus.
I'm so grateful for the opportunity that i have to be going to this beautiful school, with this spirit that is with me constantly. I know more then a lot of things that this is where i am suppose to be, the Big Man definitely has been watching over me. I miss my family so much, it's so weird not being able to give mom and dad a hug and kiss goodnight, and not having to check in with them when i get home late at night. i have to go help with dinner.
A little something i saw in the gardens out here when i was walking through them the other day; "on the pursuit of happiness one should stop and just be happy" oh how i love this place!

I'm glad you are in the Berg.
THis makes me sooo happy Annie!! So glad you are there! and seeing how amazing it is. Glad you are having a good time, and hope to talk to you soon! love you and miss you so much!
ANNIE, It was good to read this. I know that the first few weeks can be overwhelming in everywhay, but you will soon find your niche and things will always work out if you believe Psalms 3:5-6. You won't ALWAYS be having a fun time, but that will make the good times even more meaningful. Just stay positive and look for others who need you, cuz they are sure out there! You have a great calming spirit that others need at this time. Be patient with your roommates and they will see your goodness and respect you. We miss you, but know you are in the best place for you right now in your life. Smile, smile, smile! Be grateful to your Heavenly Father daily and study hard!
Love, Mom
Annie, Love to hear from you. Not having you home has been hard for your dad, but knowing you are exactly where you should be is very comforting to me. I love and miss you very much. Stay positive, be an example and keep that beautiful smile working. Love Dad
AP! Another way to keep intruding in your life...I love your blog and we all miss you tons...glad you are adjusting and hope you can fight off all those RM's who are looking for YOU! hahah
Annie, you are such a stud muffin. I hope you can fend off all the guys...jk don't fend them all off. I'm so glad you are enjoying your time already and are getting along with your roommates. That can be a hard thing. Just remember you don't have to say everything that comes to your mind. Not that you ever do that but some things just don't need to be said. I will be calling you soon so I can hear all about what's been going on in your new life. I miss and love you!
