Update


Wow, it has been a little while since a have blogged. My computer was having a few problems, but thanks to my wonderful brother it is now fixed! I can finally do homework at home now and not have to spend almost every night in the library. YAY! This semester has been very busy, but its very close to being over. Then only ONE more semester till I GRADUATE!!! I can not believe that I am so close to having my degree! It has always been a goal of mine to receive a bachelors degree, and all the late nights in the library, long hours of studying, pulling all nighters, too much money in tuition, and all the other wonderful things that come with being a college student will have finally paid off! Lets just hope I can pass my economics class this semester...it might be a little questionable right now.
I finally got to do something that I have been wanting to do for quite a while now. I finally got to go on my ride alongs! I have been on 2 now and they were absolutely AMAZING! I first went with the Cedar City Police Department, and just the other day I went with the Iron County Sheriffs Office! When I went with CCPD I got to ride with 2 different officers, which was really fun because I got to hear their different opinions about everything. Then when I was with the sheriffs deputy, I got to see someone that was a little in between the two officers from CCPD.  During the two ride alongs I was able to go on patrol, see a uncooperative guy get arrested for a DUI, went to a domestic dispute, did a little stake out, help a person who ran out of gas on the free way, made traffic stops, and some other stuff.  When I was with the ICSO it was a really dead night and we didn't get a single call, but it was still fun. The deputy was really nice and answered all my questions and told me so much great information.  I have fallen in love with law enforcement and I cannot wait to start my career in it!
Another interesting thing has been my new apartment.  My room is small, but it works.  I live on the third floor, so I don't hear too much noise from other neighbors, which is very nice.  I am living closer to campus which is nice because I don't have to leave as early to get to work or school. The only problem is one crazy roommate...I think Heavenly Father might be trying to teach me how to deal with crazy people and to have more patience.
My brother Tyler FINALLY got engaged!  I am excited to have another sister-in-law.  They have been dating for a very long time, so we have all been expecting this for quite some time.
As far as what next semester will bring...who knows! I registered for another psychology class...I think I am loosing my mind! I always hated psychology, but it will be an easy class. Plus, I guess psychology isn't as bad as I thought it was, I am becoming more interested in it.
Anyways that is a little of what is going on in my life.  I feel like I mostly go to school, work, then come home and do homework, but every once in a while I do something a little fun! :)
