But, really!!

I just love Rexburg. A whole lot!

Being away always makes me re-appreciate what a wonderful place it is.

I miss the Burg a bunch right now.

It's funny to think that I've already lived there for a year,

but it makes sense, because so much has happened!

So many wonderful, awesome things.

I love who I'm becoming since I've moved there.

I love all of the amazing people I've met since I've been there too.

It really makes me sad to think of a scenario where I wouldn't have met some of these people.

Going to BYU-I when I did was the second best decision I've ever made!

(The first being my choice to be baptized into the Church)

It's hard to explain how happy I am there.

A lot of people think I'm unhappy.

And I'm really starting to not be ok with that!

I need to show off how happy I am. In the best way possible...

I don't want to be obnoxious about it obviously.

Perhaps I'll just start with smiling more. 

That'll show 'em!

:)

I'm surrounded by some of the best people in one of the best places.

Believe me, there's a lot to smile about!

Just look at that beautiful temple for crying out loud!!
