She is pretty young so she she speaks great english, and plus it is really easy math!! My biology teacher is a crazy funny woman!! I love her, she is going to be great for lectures. I know that class will be quite entertaining!!! Plus, today I met a new friend! Her name is Morgan, she is a bio major, going into medicine, plays bass and is from Pullayup!! She is crazy cool! My english teacher is also really funny! He has a great sense of humor which will be helpful considering I hateeeee english!!! My viola teacher is sooo great!!!

Finally at EWU!!!!!!!!!!!

So I have finally started my college adventures at Eastern Washington University!! The school is located in Cheney, WA. The small town is about 15 minutes from Spokane, so I am not completely isolated from the outside world!!! Leaving home, like the actually house was the hardest. I gave mom her birthday present, a book, right before I left. She broke down, I broke down, it was just a teary mess!!! But all is well. My roommate is pretty sweet, we seem to be getting along nicely, but she seems to not realize that what is my is not always hers, so we may have to have a little chat!!! I have met a couple really cool people, Tyler, and some people from church that seem really fun. I have mostly been spending my time with Brittany, Ashley, and Tyler. We have a great time!! It has been a blast. School doesn't start until the 26, so we have just been hanging out, getting organized, and going to some orientation activities.

My Room!!! Finally it is clean after I have
packed everything off to school!!!


The infamous college picture!!!! Luckily you can't see my face
in this one. Really bright light=really squinty face!!

Today, I headed off to my first Singles Ward!! It was a blast and I immediatley met some really cool people. Everyone seems to get along really well and there doesnt seem to be any major cliques or anything, like there usually is. I am really excited to get to know everyone. Especially, meeting someone with a car!!!! : ) So I will post some pics of my sweetly decorated dorm room and such after classes start!!!! Wish me luck!!!

Love, Chels

Parade of Homes!!!

This year there were 30 houses. It took mom and I two saturdays to get through them all!! All of the homes were great, some better than others. Tile was used in almost every home along with wood floors and granite or marble counter tops. With most being over $200,000, even as starter homes, mom kept saying, "I don't know how you are every going to afford a home!" It was funny but so true!!! : ) I took a video and a bunch of pictures of the biggest home on the tour. The house was over 7,000 sq. ft. and valued at over $2 million. It was custom built for a small family with only one child!! It was a little much, but amazing at the same time!!

A video of the house, sorry it is pretty shaky, but I thought it
would make it easier to visualize the house!!!!
