A long awaited update...

Hello!! Sorry about not posting since February 7th!! Ahhh!! That was a very long time ago! I decided to do a year in review, so that maybe you and I can remember what has happened in my life...
Melissa and Braden were married in Hawaii in December! Luckily for me that equaled a trip to Hawaii! It was fan-freaking-tastic! It was a little gloomy the whole time there but for the most part it was great great great! I drove a moped all over waikiki! It is such a beautiful place!My sister had a reception in Utah! A few of my friends showed up to that and it was cool seeing them there. January was full of a new semester of school! Where I actually got plenty of psychology stuff down! I should graduate in December 2009! Yeehaw!
February brought a whole new fun filled part of my life! I started watching a series called 24 with a very attractive male on February 4. We went on our first date on the 16 and had our first kiss that day. The next day was a Sunday and we baked cookies together. I think it is very possible that we saw each other every day after that during the school year. March= Spring Break!!! I went on a road trip with the above boy! We went to 7 states (Utah, Nevada, California, Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, and Colorado) and he went t0 2 countries (I forgot my birth certificate). The road trip was so we could go watch our college basketball team (THE AGGIES!!) play in the WAC tournament. Although we ended up loosing we definitely still had a great student section and a fun time. Las Cruces is definitely the crap-hole of America after that is El Paso! I am excited to go watch next years tournament in Reno! I think a before trip to San Fran is what will be happening also!
SHOW ME A TRUE BLOODED AGGIE! As school came to an end! I stayed the same old Alexis and discovered that dressing up at 3am is great fun! Especially if you are making your t-shirt into a ninja mask! I finished school with flying colors except for in one class but I passed it! I continued to date Daniel after it ended. The week after school got out the South Weber girls kept it real and went on the baja mexican cruise! I road tripped it out there with a few people! We stopped in Las Vegas on the way home and got this excellent PT picture!! Summer marked the beginning of something new and fun for me... EFY! My first week I had the greatest Co-Counselors and the worlds most fantastic group "In the Midst." I had a blast! EFY is such a fantastic experience! You really learn so much from the youth. Their insight and testimonies of the gospel is incredible. I think I probably learned more from them than they did from me. That week we had an excellent session director Brother Anderson! I learned a lot from his lessons. Week 2 was also exciting. I had another good group of Cos. Our company "Keys to the Kingdom" was a little wild and didn't seem to bond as quickly, but by the end of the week. I still saw a ton of amazing youth. Although they weren't interested in anything EFY had to offer them at the beginning it was a great experience to watch their hearts be softened and to see them open themselves to the gospel. I kept it real at EFY! I dressed up like a Sister Missionary and a ninja! I taught the girls from "In the Midst" how to change their t-shirts into a ninja mask. I hope they use that bit of information I gave them elsewhere.... hahah that is definitely not the only thing I want them to have taken home, but still one of them....
After Efy was over I got to spend my last few days with Daniel before he left for Australia. It was truly bittersweet! I allowed him to dress me up in random clothes while he was packing! Anything to help lighten in the mood for me. It was great seeing him for those last few days! We shall see how it goes when he gets back, but he truly is an amazing man!

I hope this year in review was sufficient! I will try and write about my summer life a lot more! I pan on staying caught up on my blog this year! Wish me luck!
