1st Year of College

Going to college was probably one of the hardest things I have ever done. " I haven't had a very hard life" - Andy Bernard.  When I started in the winter I hadn't really since snow since I was 8 years old. So that was a little bit of a shock. On top of that I lived in the dorms. . . I have nothing nice to say about them. With super duper weird roommates, bless their souls.  So I really didn't take pictures of that part of my life, I'm still trying to forget it. ANYWAYS, spring semester was a blast! I had the best roommates, a great ward, I loved the weather, and my classes were great as well (which you can see from my previous blog post). So I'm finally excited to switch from a Richmond Hill Wildcat, to be a . . .  oh yeah BYU-I doesn't have a mascot. I'm still excited for next semester (s) at BYU-I!!!

Heather may have been taking too many classes

The dorm above mine, I pretty much lived here for the last half of winter semester. I owe these girls my sanity.

Horse Back Discovery Tour 2013

 By the name of the class it sounds like we search for rainbows and leprechauns on horse back, but besides that I had so much fun! Shout out to Peter for sending me the link to sign up for the class. The class was set up into 2 riding days, because the class was so big. I rode on Thursdays. It was a much needed break from classes and escape from Rexburg each week.  We would ride up in to the Tetons each week and spend a day in the fresh air  ( which you could only find if you were a good distance away from the horses, they don't exactly smell like a basket of roses) and the sunshine.

Our Last Ride

 My teacher Brother Carter. He's about as country as it gets.

THUMPER!!!  He died last week of colic :(, also the horse in the back ground with the rider in red, died too. He fell over in the trailer on our the way to our last ride and suffocated to death. It kind of brought down the mood a little bit of that ride.

$$$$$  (this is cash) I only rode him once, and I'm glad it was only once.

1st ride at the Sand Dunes

I drove the van for the class :)

Little baby a few hours after she was born,  she also died a few hours after this picture. Being a horse must be hard.

The snow was so deep our feet was dragging in it.

Paris again <3

This little guy is full grow and a regular horse, poor thing I don't think he'll move up too much in the pecking order

Rounding them up for the ride

 I met some of the nicest, craziest, most fun people ever. I loved this class and I'll never forget the memories or the friendships I made.
