Sunday Shooting

I have to say this was one of my favorite days at college! A Sunday shooting trip.... I love my ward and all my fun classes but nothing beats guns and friends! (Except family- of course!)

 
The Krü(s)- Us and some of the kids.

McKaylee and I... Ya we're kinda a big deal! You better watch your back!

Mark with the Kill Shot!

Me and Ben with a little healthy competition.

1..2..3... Shoot!

One of my favorite pics! If only I was better with a shotgun...

I have to say thanks to McKaylee's dad for being so great to us! Her whole family treats us like family! Love all of them! Oh and for my mother-- most of these shots were staged. :) all but the last!

BYU

I started this year at BYU! I was a little worried about coming here and fitting in but I have never been more sure that BYU is the place for me. I have met some of the most amazing people ever!



I drove down to Provo on Sunday and ended up being able to move in that day. I love my room... although rather small, it works for what I need.

The next day I had to be at check in for a Foundations of Leadership Conference. This was a great experience and taught me a lot. I learned all about taking my leadership skills and using then in a better way by involving the gospel in all aspects. At FOL I met some of the best people ever! We were all in groups and my group (holla group 14) was the best! I also met people outside my group... the night before we left I randomly sat between a guy and a girl from a different group. Lets just say it was the best random thing I've done in a long time. I sat between McKaylee Humphrey and Mark Marcanto and we had a blast. But more about them later.

At FOL different student groups came up to talk to us about being involved and having the most fun at BYU. One group was CougarUnited- basically the spirit commitee of collage. They get everyone pumped and ready for the games by having tailgates, giveaways and tons of other fun stuff. I sat in my seat listening to them and knew I would be apart of that. Afterwards I walked up and told them I wanted to be on the CougarUnited council. They seemed to love my enthusiasm and said ok. So now I'm the first freshman rep on CougarUnited and it's already been a blast.




After I got back to campus I met my roommate, Summer. She's great and we have lots of fun! Our room is super cute and decked out. The BYU football poster is of course the main focus of the room.





I met up with a lot of McKaylee's friends from home (Conneticut) and they are all tons of fun. We've had birthday extravaganzas and tons of fun. From this group, Krü3 was born. We are the bast and have so much fun together. From Wal-mart runs to John Mayer concerts to the CANYON to our table at the Cannon. We all love each other and have tons of fun! and this is almost Krü3.



To say the least I have been having a blast and I love BYU! I miss my family tons!
