I'm not used to this form of writing my soul out online. Because I don't write my soul out online. What do they call a blogger who is obviously inexperienced and awkward? A nube? Hopefully not a goober. That would suck. Anyway, life in rexburg has been pretty good and extremely windy : ) Which is awesome and all until you are a girl with long hair, in a skirt or perhaps on a bicycle making your way up a "hill" against 45 MPH hurricanes. : ) good times. I'd just like to go to chicago and compare. Cause if it isn't as windy there, I am stealing our name back. Just cause the white people got to Illinois before Idaho doesn't mean we should get gypped.

a few things I'd like to bring to rexburg.

1. rain. downpour style.
2. those huge sandwiches with the steak and the french fries in them...philly cheese steak?... nevermind I can't remember what they're called. But we need some of those. stat.
3. a city.
4. weighted skirts. I don't know if they exist elsewhere, but we should invent them.
5. running shoes.
6. an entire store devoted to old books and cd's/records. d.i. does not count.
7. a costco.
8. argentina. haha just kidding. that would get messy.


: ) but really, life is pretty good here. my apartment is awesome and fully functioning.

But haha I live with 6 girls so recent drama:

1. one of my roommie's got engaged, wedding is in August : ) stoked does not even begin to describe how excited we are : )
2. one of my roommates just broke up with her boyfriend
3. one of my roommates just spent about an hour sitting outside on the porch in a lawn chair [i'm guessing due to boy issues that we won't get into]
4. one of my roommates met this guy who I swear looks like a cute disney prince come to life and I vote she gets married to him. Or at least flirts with him so he'll know to ask her out. Baby steps are good : )
5. me, well, tommy wrote me a 'dear jane' earlier this week. that was good fun. not really. It was fake though, which is really quite quite good. We have a horrible sense of humor that I've decided we should stop... having. cause it's only funny after a certain point..
6. and the last of my roommates doesn't have guy stuff as far as I know, and she seems pretty happy : ) "coincidence? I think NOT!!" [anyone know the movie? anyone?]

moral of the story? I don't know, you pick. I say great guys are definitely worth it. Whatever "it" generally tends to be.


oh right, school stuff.
School is AWESOME. No joke, I seriously love it. I'm learning more every single day than my brain sometimes has the capacity to gawk at. It's brilliant : )

I'm taking the following classes:

family 100, child development, sociology, dance, teachings of living prophets, spanish, relationship psychology, and interpersonal communication.

It's crazy and good.

Oh! and my mom is coming down in a couple weeks for mothers week end and I'm pretty much stoked : )
...and I'm going camping next weekend for a few days. Don't tell my mother. If anyone is telling her, it's gonna be me. It's perfectly safe and with perfectly safe people, I've just never gone camping here, with them, before, and I don't know how she's gonna take it.


well I think that just about sums up life. I'm hoping and praying the Swine Flu will completely die down, wishing I could talk to an elder many countries away, happy to be alive, grateful to be here, very possibly beginning to enjoy running, falling in love with allergy drugs, and wishing you all a wonderful evening.

love ya,
~ carly


p.s. tonight I touched my toes doing the sit and reach for the first time since I can remember...I'm about as flexible as your average male. Haha anyway, it was AWESOME. ciao everybody
