I was finally able to tryout my camera on my phone...it's a bit blurry but it works right!! So it was a beautiful  Sunday and my roommates and i had a great dinner ( Lasagna and veggies with garlic toast YUM!)  created by Brittnee my room roommate. Then we went to the famous duck pond outside of campus, of course we brought bread and these duck were viscous! Ravenous for want of bread (food)! haha it was really fun to have them come up really close right next to you and barely touch their feathers while giving pieces of bread. Here are some pictures:

 Does anyone remember the time at the Saint Lawrence where we would put bread between our toes and let the  geese and ducks eat and nibble at the bread? hahaha same here!!!! haha

 

Miriah, Brittnee, ME!, Clarissa

                                         We always express our love...even if it kills one of us!! ha

                                                     Brittnee and Miranda...

                                               
 It was honestly a beautiful walk as you can tell...

 

Smile!!..... wait a minute.... haha

Beautiful Clarissa  poised for a magnificent picture!

If you can't tell those are ducks waiting... patiently

 It was a wonderful experience and a great bonding time with my roommates. I really enjoy this semester and there is so much that i'm learning and improving... what i've learn: Family and Friend relationships are vital for survival!!!

Well I'm not quite sure how it has gotten to be October 24th already! midterms are all over for me... now it's time to get ahead and make sure my grades are up. It's interesting here in Idaho how the social culture is so important on campus and yes, i do get my fair share of it but i believe I'm getting better at balancing my life. Well, my life has not been the same this semester as the last two.  I admit, It's been quite difficult with my RA, but honestly i can say i am happy....i am happy. The lord has opened my eyes to see the simple miracles and blessings in my life each day.  I've began my long process of actually accepting this disease with an open mind and heart. It's been a slow process to get where i am now, but I've past that bridge and hopefully wont go  back. I'm moving on in my life, finding new ways to enjoy life. I'm excited to save enough to get a camera so that i can show my unskilled abilities to cook my fun food.

      It's always a challenge to get myself started, but when i put my head to something there's no stopping me!!   But it's always nice to get a friendly push here and there.... right now  my wonderful brother Ben is helping me go swimming in the morning for exercising my joints... we are going every tuesday and thursday @730 am...boy! i havn't gotten up that early in a while (usually 8 or 9)..shows how lazy i have been.
      In short  this blog is turning into an arthritis blog...for me and those who want to understand more of a RA woman's life. haha it's honestly for my benefit to keep records for myself.  

Everyone else in the Family is doing it!!

hahaha So hey! It's me! I've decided, why can't i have a blog...everyone is creating one in the family!!! it's a great way to communicate with the fam. i'm new to this so i'm not quite so sure how everything works...any tips!! i'll put more up in the future...when i get a camera and a computer. But for now they will mostly be tid bids of what my college life is about! But this week is finals so...here i go...diving into my studies and books...
