A Little Bit About M3!

I was born and raised in the good old town of Draper, Ut. I have lived here all of my life. I have 3 older brothers, an older sister, a younger sister, younger step brother, and a younger half brother. Not to mention, my cute little nieces as well as my brother and sister in law who are now part of the Mikkelson Clan. I went to Dixie State College for my first year in experiencing the college life. I went down there with a few girls that I had known previously, and had a very great time. I was living the college life of an 18 year old. I met many great new people and made lots of friendships. A few friends imparticular, helped me with my spiritual side and have more of an appreciation for the gospel. However, not forgetting to mention my brother in laws brother who resides in St. George and his cute little family, took very good care of me! It was a bitter sweet farewell, and I hope to continue my friendship with many of those I befriended. As the second semester started, I was concerned with the fact about where I was going to attend next fall semester. My brother, Justin, had just shipped off to BYU Hawaii, and told me I better apply. My family took a nice vacation out to Oahu for spring break to visit him, and that is when I really decided I wanted to go there. I was then faced with the anticipation of waiting for a response from BYU Hawaii. A few weeks went by, and they finally made up their decision; I am going to Hawaii with one of my best friends and am so excited for that wonderful opportunity that I get to experience. Now as far as the summer goes, I am in search for a job; I just had an interview with Buckle and am waiting upon their response, and also wanting to learn how to dance, for when I go to Hawaii, I might be able to get a job at the Polynesian Cultural Center.
I love being home with my family and what a wonderful feeling it is on Sunday's to know that I don't have to be driving back to St. George that night. I love just living life day by day, not planning anything and just going with the flow!

My Friends at Raintree Apartments



Happenings In The Past Week

I finished up my first year of college at Dixie State in St. George. I made lots of new friends, and hope to keep in contact with many of them. I was really excited to come home, only to find out, I had no one to hang out with, because either they were still in St. George, or moved back to their hometowns. I passed almost all of my classes, however did receive credit for all of them. I am on my way to finishing up my associates degree.
Now that I am home, with my wonderful family, I am in search of a job for the summer. I just applied to Buckle, for the second time, hopefully the results will turn out positive! I desperately need to find a job, because I have no life. Eating and sleeping take up most of the hours in my days.
