The start of something new...

So now that it's a new year I'm trying to get into the swing of things. I'm getting ahead in my summer classes, joined a gym, looking for a job, and going to update my blog every week :) Hopefully this trend will follow through for the rest of my stay. I guess I'm technically on  the countdown here - 5 1/2 months left. I have lots to do!

Some small things in planning - Wet & Wild Water park, a few camping trips (much to Macaela's dismay), the markets, and horseback riding! 

Today was quite eventful - worked on an assignment and went with Cat to pick up her horse! Maybe I'll get some experience in this semester :)

Cat, her horse, and her purple Ute. Anyone who 

knows Cat knows how perfect this picture is!

Her Great-Uncle's amazing property

Winter Willow and me!

Maca and I have been doing lots of cooking lately...

Maca's first, from scratch meal-

I'm so proud of her :)

Yummy - Chicken bake, 

brussels sprouts, and onions!!

Saw Avatar 3-D and it was amazing!

Things are pretty relaxed around here - Tate left for Army training for the month and Ben and Maca work full-time. However... our last roomie Maggie will be home from Sweden in two weeks - I'm so excited to see her! I think she's ready to get out of the cold and come back to hot hot Australia. 

Missing everyone so much - thank you all for you packages and letters. Mail is SO exciting when it's not a bill! I love y'all so much - keep in touch :)
