Kicking Off The Semester

The "friendly 55th ward"  kicked off the semester with a Hawaiian themed social. It was amazing.

Everyone started by playing a get to know you bingo game. After the ice breaker we had a Hawaiian hay stack dinner finished off with sorbet floats. When the meal was finished the ward was divided into groups to put skits together. We came back together and enjoyed all the hilarious routines.

All the singles wards and stakes were re-organized over the break. It was interesting how different the dynamics were in this ward. Not better or worse, just different. We are so excited to get to know everyone and enjoy FHE and more activities with them all. The singles are so much more fun than the married wards so we are happy to have one more semester of all this fun. 

We have officially begun our last semester here at BYU-Idaho. Zach was excited to start classes because it meant the end of this chapter. I on the other hand am just done. I was not excited and I am still having a hard time getting into the school routine. But have no fear, the motivation will kick in. We are also a little pre-occupied with thoughts of moving to Manhattan. Have you ever looked at the price of a typical studio apartment in Manhattan? Don't, it will make you feel like you will never progress in life. On the upside, we are discovering the perks of public transportation that will make living and commuting in the wonderful state of New York affordable. We are just a little excited about this adventure. Bring it on 2012!
