A Dorm Thanksgiving :)

Me & Madeline prepping

Well this was a quite wonderful event :) I just love my roommates! One night (very very late) Madeline, Dianne, and I decided to have a Thanksgiving with everyone before! So we made really crappy fliers for every one and a sign up sheet of a bunch of Thanksgiving foods :D It turned out that everyone wanted to do it too sooo PERFECT! :)

The boys!

The girls!

 We all dressed up fancy & had such a great time! Oh I just love holidays :)

Mm...mmm... Good!

Look how cute we all are :)

Everyone was scrambling about the food and everything! Finally when it came we had a huge wonderful assortment of foods! We pulled a bunch of couches & chairs together and brought tables down and had our feast! It was really really good! Everyone was stuffed just like a real Thanksgiving! :)
Hooray for us we are grown ups now :)

Halloween- the HOWL :)

Wow okay! It was a pretty awesome weekend! I actually have felt like Halloween was a whole month event going to scary places, bon fires, scary movies, pumpkin painting, and of course the HOWL!
All month I was scared out of my mind.. I don't exactly know why! But something about this year really freaked me out! My friends came up the weekend of Halloween and I am so glad that they did. I have really missed them and they made the HOWL better than I could have imagined!






Mexican, Ke$ha, lil boy!



Shalena and Carly came up and we had fun playing games and sleeping in forts! Yes.. we are like 5 year olds! But it was awesome! :) Sawyer, Jaron, Kat, and Caitlyn came up and we got to see Jen!! We all dressed up got some good food and got some priceless looks ;) First of all we got into the HOWL so easily! The dance party was the best part, Cartel was popular back in the day so we didn't really know how to dance to it. But with all our friends there we had the time of our lives dancing like freaks to the DJ in the back of the crowd :) Typical us!

The best was the guys that would try and hit on us but would fail.. :)
"I hope you girls know you look hot tonight."-most used all night, come on guys become original here.



Aren't we cute :)



Best of friends :)





Jen and I had so much fun finding Waldos and following the creepy ninja around! It was pretty entertaining. Also the random guy that would do cheer tricks with me was pretty interesting! Don't know where he came from half the time but there he was ready to flip me! Apparently mine and Caitlyn's costumes were fails because I guess I looked like Ke$ha and she did not look like a eskimo "don't eskimos cover up" -"she's a slutty eskimo duh! It's Halloween" -maddie

There were some great laughs! I love my friends so much :D

After we stayed up talking and laughing our heads off! :) Pretty sure no one could go to sleep but finally 4:30 hit :)

Roomies :)

My roommates are just great! I have to say I lucked out :)


Madeline: Well we are just best of friends! We talk until the late hours of the night & have the best time (sometimes not as ourselves, we role play and cause awkward tension for others around us) But we are practically together 24/7 and joke that we need more time together! Yeah, people don't understand how we can go so long without getting sick of each other but something about our friendship just clicks. It is really a strange thing but I love it & wouldn't change it. I am so glad we are roommates :) We have some pretty amazing times together :)
Amanda: Oh she is just hilarious! I used to be scared of her.. and still am a little! But she wants that :) She lays everything out on the line & tells you exactly how it is no matter if it hurts you! I love it when she is hyper she is seriously hysterical! Sometimes I think she should be a comedian!
Bria: ...... no words...... she moved out unexpectantly... but oh well she never talked to Maddie & I so it was like she was a ghost for a long time :)
Tasha: She brought us a lot of stuff so we are all very grateful for that! I don't know her too well but she is nice :) I like her just haven't had the time to get to know her well. She always does something cute for us though, for Christmas she read us a little story & got us an orange :)
Beth: Oh this girl is a sweet little angel! I don't think I've met anyone so happy with everything & so sincere! She also is very service oriented and it is so nice to come home & have your dishes magically cleaned! Thanks Beth :) She is really funny too at first I didn't know how opinionated she was but she is just too cute :) She is really just a sweetheart!
Courtney: First she is hardly ever home she just is always out with her friends or boys ;) but she is so so funny!! We laugh because half of the things she says are a little out there! But I absolutely love her!! At first I thought she was going to be super dramatic but she isn't at all! Yeah she gets a little frustrated at first but she is so laid back & such an easy person to live with!
Dianne: Oh my Canadian roommate!! I just adore her! My first impression of her was that she "loves make up" and I don't let her live that down but that has come in handy! She is so funny!! We make fun of her a lot but she is so sweet and takes it with a smile but she can dish it right back :) Sometimes she says the wrong thing at the wrong time but that is what I love about her.. She is sincere and means what she says! She doesn't sugar coat what she has to say either unless we call her out on it. Her makeup skills have come in handy I am learning a lot from her. Sometimes I don't understand how she doesn't have a boyfriend!!! Any guy would  be so lucky to have her! Psh.. dumb boys. I love her :)


Then there are the boys... oh dear I just love them too :)

First Week of College!

It is so weird to think that I am a college student now! I absolutely love it!! :) I thought I wouldn't like being in the dorms but I think it was the best decision I have made!! Every night is a party! It is really werid doing everything on my own but I have been loving it so far! I am so grateful that my grandpa has given me this oppourtunity, I really can't thank him enough! I wouldn't be here without him for sure.
Maddie and I have decorated our room so it feels just like home :) We have tons of pictures and giant Vanity posters that need a place still! Maddie and I have spent 24/7 together but we choke that we wisht that we could have 25/8 together :) people told us that we would hate each other.. but honestly I have not gotten sick of her but we get in the same moods and know each other well enough to know when to just lay off :)
Our roommates call us Matalie (thanks Amanda) they are all great!!! We love them all and all of them are very different from each other. I have become really close to Canada (Diane) she is awesome. We met a great group of friends because a boy helped us move all our crap so we made him & his roommates spaghetti :) We soon became friends with his roommates. We have movies over there all the time and are comfortable just to waltz on in :) The Boys across the hall have also become our friends, we both keep our doors open and we walk in whenever they want and same for them! They have also helped us with our technology stupidity :) They are all so great! :)
From riding a mechanical bull to crazy dance parties to lame mandatory meetings! We always seem to have the best time! :) It's only been one week and I am done with the activities & just want to sleep! But even when we get done early I wind up falling alseep at 4! I blame Maddie for making me hyper because we just laugh hysterically!
The other day we met these kids who are super adventurous!! Just the type of people we want to be around :) We cliff diving but ended up jumping out of a tree 20 ft tall! It was scary climbing up but so worth it! After we went and "Cleaned the Sink" at Angies. They give you a sink of ice cream that you eat! We did it but laughed hysterically the whole way through! We got such dirty looks because we were so loud :) After we were all jittery and hyper so we rolled down Old Main Hill! Then at 11:41 we watched a movie. And made the most disgusting cookies! :D
I am loving it so much and feel so lucky that I have this experience!!! Thank you to everyone that helped me get here :)

MOVING!!

Tomorrow I am moving Logan!!! I am so excited to get away.. My ten main reasons are:
1. Learning to cook.. I desperately need to learn how to feed myself.
2. No curfew.. I'll be honest I can't wait not to be stressed about being home on time.
3. Meet new friends.. I love meeting new people!!
4. Learning to be completely independent
5. Fulfilling my dream of living with my best friend Maddie.. for years we talked about it!!
6. Having friends so close by in my dorm!
7. Being far enough but close enough to see my family & Izzy
8. My very own address & being able to decorate how ever I please (except nails, those are frowned upon)
9. Singles ward.. I have heard they are the best.
10. That much closer to starting my major :)


I am so excited!!! But there are a lot of things that I am going to miss too. Good thing I am able to come home. I am going to miss my puppy so much. I don't know how I am going to sleep without her in my bed but I guess I can survive one semester :) hopefully she can too!
