life is like a roller coaster. am i right?

>>  BYU is hard. lots harder than i thought it would be! i am having a hard time trying to stay afloat lately. thankful this week is the halfway mark! cause i am seriously dyin over here.
>>  i have been i lots of photoshoots this week. #bloggerprobs haha! been taking pics with Sister Missionary Mall and boy it gets me all giddy for my mission. we're on the 100 day countdown ma friends!
>>  speaking of mission clothes... shopping has been supaaaa fun :) it's like getting a whole new wardrobe but instead of feeling guilty about buying lots of clothes... it's something you have to do! sooooo boo-yah! see ya later bank account.
>>  missing Tyler lately like crazy. it's super hard and it hits me at the most random times. but hey, happy 10 months to us today.
>>  didn't have to work this week due to the photoshoots i had. a nice little break! except i love workin at the MTC. excited to go back this week.
>>  my test scores this week. umm yikes. who decides to take the 5 hardest classes ever and stay alive? me i guess. and wow i think the teachers think i only have their class. cause they amount of study time they think i have for their exams is like CAARAZZY.
>>  getting more pictures from Tyler. makes my day. not to mention the endless amount of letters i have been getting from him. his letters make me crazy happy because of how good of an artist he is!
>>  mom's cookies. hello yum! those will be missed in about 4 months.
>>  being sleep deprived. deciding to stay up and study every night and have a social life with my girl friends or go to bed early? the struggle is real.
