I'm going home today and I'm excited and not at the same time. I am beyond excited to be going home to spend time with my family. I miss them a lot. I'll also be seeing Chantel tomorrow morning so we can go find he bridesmaid dresses needed so that'll be nice to spend some time with her. I'm not excited because I'm going to have a really hard time being away from Mike. I'm used to seeing him every day and now I get to go almost four days without him. I really shouldn't complain because of everything we used to go through.

My cousin Clarissa is getting married tomorrow and I am so excited for her. Her and Braden make a great couple and I'm glad they found each other. I'm going to one of my old young women's leader's baby shower on Saturday morning and then I'm going to Crystal's baby shower Saturday afternoon. Crystal is Seth's girlfriend and Seth is Mike's brother. Complicated but anyway... his weekend is going to be quite hectic but I'll manage. I also need to squeeze some homework in there somewhere.

Last night my Ipod managed to get EVERYTHING deleted off of it. I cried. Two years of my favorite music down the drain. Luckily my boyfriend is amazing and he's letting me take his laptop home with me so I can try to get some music back AND he sent his own Ipod with me too so I can have music. That boy treats me like a queen and sometimes I don't deserve it. Mike got his hair cut yesterday and he looks beyond amazing. I'm the luckiest girl in the world.

Labor Day weekend was quite interesting. Mike and I started it off by going hunting with Megan, Eric, and baby Dylan. Mike shot at a three point but he forgot his bow was shooting high so he BARELY missed it. Seeing Mike hunting made him quite the more attractive to me and I don't know why. Later on we saw a HUGE deer but we were too far away and it casually trotted off. Mike wasn't very happy with himself but I was proud of him. I actually liked hunting. I enjoy being out in the wild. The mountains can bring people closer to God than ever before and I love it. We'll be going hunting again when he rifle hunt starts. The next day Mike, Sam, Emily, Hannah, Daniel, Ailicia, Dustin, and I all went up the cabins for one night. Mike taught me how to shoot a gun and we practiced with BB guns. I started to get a little cocky and challenged Mike which wasn't the best idea because he has much more experience. We also played horseshoes which didn't last very long because sometimes I'm a poor sport. While we were there I peed in the woods for the first time and it wasn't as bad as I expected. I'm growing up (: I had a really good weekend and it was nice seeing Mike in his element.

School's been going well go far so we'll see how it goes from here. I really like most of my roommates and we've started bonding on a better level which is good. The girl's are really good and good examples for me. Sometimes we get a little crazy but that's just girls. I'm glad I got the chance to experience all this. Life just keeps on changing.
