college adventures

hello everyone. well, it has been about a million years since i've written on here so there is no way i will be able to catch you up on all of my adventures so i will just tell you about the recent ones. yesterday, after the roomies and i watched the ces fireside by l. tom perry (great fireside, btw), we decided we needed to get the heck out of our apt. so we decided to go up to squaw peak and have a much needed feelings talk. well, we partway up the canyon and were stopped by a road closed sign :( so we decided to go the Y instead. we get partway up that mountain and linnea's car starts smelling like nasty. so we pull over and pop the hood. thank goodness we were in the good town of provo, utah and a nice young man pulled over to help us. he said he couldn't find anything wrong, but maybe her fluids were low. so thankfully nothing was wrong with the car, but needless to say, the feelings talk at a viewpoint didn't happen. the trip wasn't an epic fail, tho, cuz we had great jam times in the car :)

another big adventure this week: i became a Mary Kay consultant :D my friend jek and i went to a little meeting on wednesday for the free eyeshadow and before we left we had both signed on! I'm really excited to get started! I'm actually listening to my training CD right now. Hopefully it'll go well and i can get a little extra money. instead of donating plasma, which i still have not had the courage to do.

as for other adventures, just the norm. crazy dance parties with the roomies, boys over for game nights, and dancing for five hours straght every day in which the only breaks i get are ten minutes to run across the campus. and i love every second of it :) the classes in which i have to sit in a chair forever, not so hot...but i only have two months left and spring break is next week!! I'm driving home (all by myself, i feel so grown up!) for a few days and can't wait to see everyone!

home? yes please.

in approximately 3 days, 21 hours, 30 minutes, and 14 seconds, i will be back in the wonderful town of Longmont, Colorado. yayyyy!!!! i freaking can't wait. living on your own is great. like GREAT. like, i'm not sure if i'll ever be able to live with my parents again. but i miss them a CRAPLOAD. and i really miss my friends. and my grandma. and everyone. so it will be tres excite! :D

things here in orem, utah are pretty grand. all i know is that there are only three weeks of school left and i have a crapload of homework to do before then. i thought i was good at procrastinating before, but i'm seriously pro at it now. and it's bad....

on another note, i got called to the munch and mingle committee in my ward. so basically i feed the ward after church every 1st and 3rd sunday's and create quality bonding time. it's a little bit stressful becuase i'm always so worried about running out of food, but so far it's gone really well. (ps i've only done it once)

well, i guess that is all i have to say for now. i should stop procastinating. so peace and blessings. peace and blessings :)

ahhh college

well, aside from deciding to start donating plasma, i am quite enjoying the college life. not much is really goin on besides school and work, but i really like both. most of my classes are dance classes; i have jazz, modern, orientation to dance, creative process, dance conditioning, and biology. so about 99% of my study time goes to biology, which is sort of kicking my butt. i just really love adjusted test scores becuase losing my scholarship becuase of the most failed class at uvu would just suck. all my dance are tons of fun tho. and i'm learning a lot about the educational and artistic sides of dance and things like that, instead of just how to dance. work is going really well too. it gets pretty slow down here at the provo wallabys (i'm at work now...shh) since we've only been here a year. its a bummer to think of all the people missing out on our delicious food. (if you're ever bored come visit me! best mashed potatoes on the planet! but seriously, we're the number one bbq in the state) it's nice tho cuz i get 99% of my biology studying done here. which i should be doing now....

everything else is goin good too. i have a really fun ward and my roomies are GREAT!! i really miss my family and friends back home, but i'm having a blast! hope everyone's doin good!

hi i'm new here. my name's jordyn :)

Well hello everyone. So I'm not really sure what I'm doing cuz this is my first time blogging. But here we go...I just got back from Nauvoo, where it's about a billion degrees alll the time. I was so excited to open my car door when I got home and feel cool air! It was so much fun tho. We had a big family reunion (well, for a Boyack reunion it was actually teeny, only like 100 people), but still..this big family reunion. It was so much fun to see all my third cousins and second cousins once removed and all that good stuff :)

We also (of course) did all the fun things in Nauvoo. We took tours in all the homes and shops and saw some amazing shows. The Pageant was fantastic of course and it was so fun to see Aunt Ally and her family in it!! They did fantastic! There was also Sunset By the Mississippi, Just Plain Anna Amanda, Rendez-vous, and High Hopes and River Boats. I also found (another) love of my life :) He was one of the performing missionaries in the shows and not only did he look good on stage, but he could sing like a freaking angel. AND act, AND dance. I was sooo mad that I forgot to get a picture with him!!! I made friends with the girl who played Anna Amanda becuase, and I know most of you won't believe this, but she was actually shorter than me!!

It was a really fun trip but I'm definitely glad to be home. Fourteen hours in the car is just fourteen hours too long.
