Slacker!

I know it has been forever! If it wasn't for my dear friend Dara harassing me into updating my blog it would probably be another 6 months :) Thank you Dara.

Where to start? This semester I am off track but I decided to stay in Rexburg so that I could have a social life. As it turns out staying this semester meant that I was called as the new Relief Society President. Yes, you read that correctly I, Anessa Humes, am Relief Society President! Crazy huh? I think so. I know it is only a student ward so it doesn't totally count but it is still tons of work. I am enjoying it more and more everyday. I am learning so much about myself, things I need to work on and I am also discovering some of my talents and strengths and that has been such a blessing. I have also been able to meet many new people within the ward and it has been so much fun!

I am on flag football team and we are pretty much amazing!! Our team name is Gouda, as in "my favorite's gouda" from the movie She's the Man. That movie is constantly quoted in our apartment and the name just felt right. Our team is the greatest, we have 9 girls on the team and about 7 coaches. Haha. Those boys are amazing to come out and help us every week. The other week I got a touchdown and man was I excited! In all the sports I have played in my life I never get to be the one who scores points so I was stoked!!! We just won our quarter final game last night and next week we go onto semi's and then FINALSS!! I can't wait, GO GOUDA!

Speaking of football, I am in a fantasy football league. But the special part about this league is that it is the Elder Quorum league. HAHA. I am the only girl and am in 2nd place right now. It is pretty funny. Mostly my brother and my friend Kurtis helped me pick my team but still my name is on it so I am winning!

Sorry for the lame no picture post. I promise I will be a better blogger!!

Oh ya, I am also on a softball team and boy do I have a story, it involves my face, a softball, and 6 stitches. I will tell more later :)

Frustration & Apollo

I hate to be a Debbie Downer, but right now I just need to let it out. I am seriously struggling with some of my roommates. We just do NOT get along, and I like to think I am a fairly easy person so get along with. In all my semesters with all of my roommates it has never been like this. The truth is, I have been so unbelievably blessed with amazing roommates in the past that this time it is hard. So now I am clashing big time with these new girls, and I am getting upset when I am at home and that is suppose to be the place I can relax. UGHH! So frustrating, I am trying hard not to make this a gossipy post. (Even though I would very much like to do that)

But fear not!! I have two great girls who do live with me and I have neighbors who let me come over whenever I feel I am going to go crazy, and I have the wonderful Carriage House 108 apartment whom I love and we have a pretty great time together. So the truth is, apartment life can be tough sometimes but I will get through it. Not a problem :)

Anyway! During the Oylmpics I got pretty into it and I am in LOVE with Apollo Ohno! He is so stinking great and humble and I love it! So some friends and I decided for his last races we would try to look like him...

soul patches (drawn on with eyeliner), and bandanas!! (we didnt have enough bandanas but Stephanie had do-rags so some people used those)

His famous yawn! I was just trying to really understand what it was like to be him :)

GO USA!!

I'm Back!!

I know what you are all thinking. "Where the heck is Anessa? I wish Anessa would blog about her really exciting life." Well folks, your wish is my command! I'm back and better than ever!

I have been so busy this semester I am taking 18 credits and working 20 hours a week, so pretty much I have ZERO social life. And its winter time in Rexburg which means that life is miserable. But I am not going to be a negative nancy about it all because guess what?!? It has been amazingly warm and sunny here for the past couple of days. I went to library, got all my homework done, and then went and ate lunch in the park with my roommate! I love the sunshine. So needless to say I am in a super great mood now. And I am about to buy my plane ticket for the break between semesters. I was trying to decide if I should go home or if I should go to Portland to visit my Aunt and Sullivan...

But look at that face! How could I not go to Portland?? I think my decision has been made. Sorry Mom, but you would do the same thing.
