Bipolar Weather, S'mores, and Indexing

We have had such bipolar weather here these past few weeks! All of last week was absolutely gorgeous to the point that when I went to that William Joseph concert, I didn't have to wear a coat, and I wasn't freezing. The terrible thing though? I woke up the next morning to several inches of snow. That should not even be possible! I mean, come on. That's just wrong! I hate it when the weather teases me like that. You see, I absolutely love Spring. It is my favorite season by far. There is just nothing that compares to the beauty that is all around. The weather is the perfect temperature, I absolutely love the fresh rain that comes with it, and the bright colors are gorgeous. On the other side of the spectrum, I hate winter very very passionately. It might be because I don't do any winter sports. I have never gone skiing or snowboarding, which many find hard to believe because I lived in Spokane for several years, and there are many ski hills nearby. Almost everyone from Spokane goes skiing and/or snowboarding. I also hate going ice skating, and for good reason too. I don't tend to have good experiences, like this one. Beyond that part of disliking winter, I don't even like the snow in general. Some people say that "it is beautiful" and other dumb stuff like that. I personally would rather see the varying shades of brown in all of the dead plants than the single color white that happens to get everywhere. Call me crazy, but that's just my opinion.

Anyway, sorry about that rant, but I just had to let it out. My life has been loads of fun since that concert. We had another fun church activity, and afterward we had lots of friends over to play games, then we went and roasted s'mores and starbursts. I am so very very glad that we have amazing friends here. It has made this college experience amazing!

Last week Emily and I went and got pedicures together. Man, my feet needed that! That is one of the advantages to living where I live in Rexburg. I get lots of perks for living in my complex, and it's just the best. I even get laundry paid for (sorry, that's kind of random), and we have a hot tub that we have access to that I just enjoyed with a few of my roommates last night. It is the best. I seriously suggest, if you are going to BYU-Idaho, that you live in a complex that is a part of Rexburg Housing. They are great!

In other news, I am almost done filling out my mission papers. I just have to get something stupid that the computer doesn't like figured out, and then upload my picture. How exciting is that? And Emily is most likely getting her call this week, so we will know where my awesome roommate is going here soon! Also along those church-y lines, I started indexing for the first time ever last Monday. For those of you who don't know, indexing is looking at old documents like censuses, marriage documents, and stuff like that, and then making an electronic version of them by processing all the information and typing it into the computer to create a large information database. It is actually pretty exciting. I have been doing Canadian census records, and it is amazing to me how much the little things like doing indexing can make the biggest difference. Everyone that I go to church with here has been working on this a lot, and last Sunday and Monday alone, we did over 2600 names. I love my church!
