Lists
Hello my name is Lori and I am a list maker. There I finally said it, out loud and proud. I really cannot function unless I make a list and the list doesn't have to be of anything special, but for me to get things done right the first time I have to have a layout list to guide me. Well the most current list I have been working on is trying to decided what classes to take for the fall semester. There are so many options and with the help of Drew I have decided to take 4 classes one of which being Anatomy, but might as well get it over with. But at least 3 times a week I will set up my computer and while a march madness basketball game is going on or some other show I look up classes, their times and then see which professor is best on ratemyproffesor.com then I write it down and schedule it out while watching the game here and there. I have made 2 options and that isn't even the end of it. Option 2 has also options 2a, 2b, 2c, and 2d. I think I get it from my mother and from the daily FHE lessons starting with an overview of the upcoming weeks schedule. The system hasn't let mom down and since I take after her with my list making I think I will be proud of it and continue to make lists. My dad got my mom precious moment ceramic dolls that depicts each child and mine of course has a list and a worried look on her face. It was all too perfect because as a little girl I would wake up and one of the first things I would want to know from mom is what was on the agenda that day. So this post is to future lists and to all the other list makers. And a side note I finished my fourth round of physical therapy this week. =) Keeping my fingers crossed that I am OFFICIALLY done this time. You get an official t-shirt when you "graduate". =)

Jitter Bugs and Tina Turner
Since I got a new haircut I am realizing that I cannot just wake up and get away with however it looks, when it was long it would be a little curlier than normal in the morning, but I had the convenience of always just throwing it into a pony tail. But with short hair, every morning is an adventure to how it will look. Well the other morning I woke up and went out to talk to my parents in the computer room, and my dad lovingly told me that I resemble Tina Turner. I did not know who she was so I Googled Tina Turner images and this is the first one that popped up, thanks dad I get the hint. ;)
My dad and I also have the same habit, and I would not call it a bad habit, but if you ask my mom then she would if she was sitting between us in sacrament meeting. But my dad and I both have the need to jitter our legs-there is no rhyme or reason to it, we don't have to go to the bathroom, we aren't nervous, we aren't anxious. We just jitter and no one else does in our family here does it. But I think my dad has finally figured out the reason why we do. He told me that it is because of our Irish heritage. We, being he and I, constantly have Irish music playing in our heads, while the others do not so we jitter along to the beat of it. So I don't know which song that is constantly playing through yours dad, but this is mine.
Enjoy dad!!!!

Hair Cut
Well going with the theme of my life right now-change- I decided to get a completely new hair cut. I dont know why I did, but maybe just to add something new and exciting. New hair cuts are the best because you get to try out all the new hairstyles, and tho it is ALOT shorter than what I asked for its ok because now I get to be patient and let it grow, learning oppurtunities are everywhere! ;) But here are the pictures. I include just one "BEFORE" and then the others are the "AFTER" shots.

BYU
(This is a tad outdated, seeing as how I got in Feb. 23)
I finally got into BYU! This past fall semester I worked really hard knowing that I wanted to apply to Provo because of my major and now I finally get to go. When I first saw that little word "admitted" I was more excited than words can express, but that lasted briefly as the reality of the situation hit me. Thoughts and mostly worries began to stream through my head such as: I won't be going back to Idaho, I have to find a new place to live, I am going to get lost on campus-it is so big, Where will I work, What classes do I take, How does the website work, ect. I am a planner so I got right down to business and started making plans and after a few restless nights I wrote a to-do list and I have been tackling each thing one by one. I will miss BYU-Idaho a lot. I finally became comfortable there and made many friends. I will miss that little town of Rexburg and the familiarity of it, I will miss the friends I have made, especially Zach and Ayla and I will miss being able to spend time with Peter and Jill, they are so fun. But after the feelings of sadness went away I have finally arrived at pure excitement. I am still nervous but I am so excited. I was able to sign up for classes thanks to the help of Jordan walking me through the BYU website. I have found a job and housing thanks to Drew's patience with telling me about all the different places and advantages to them. I look forward to a new beginning, I look forward to an adventure and I look forward to spending time with Drew and Jessica, they are so helpful and fun. Though I will miss BYU-Idaho, I look forward to a little change and a new experience in my life and I am grateful I get to pursue my education in exactly what I want. So here I come BYU! =)
