An Unexpected Visit

This morning I woke up to an early phone call from Annie saying that she was in town and wanted to come visit me. These are the pictures that we took after out little chat that we had. Vance was obviously quite intrigued by the flamingo and kept exclaiming that it bit him! I had to get some pictures with him and the flamingo b/c it seems that every kid that comes over to our dorm loves our dear little friend Froo Froo. Samantha had some family over who brought their kids and Denmark and Addie came over too when Liza was here for her visit, and they were all exstatic about Froo Froo. It's pretty funny!

Heart Attack Me Captain!!

This Monday and Tuesday were two of our across the dorm neighbors' birthdays so me and Suz decided to heart attack their door. We decorated their door, hurried up and took a picture, knocked, ran to our dorm, and watched from the peep hole. I felt very sneeky! It was fun! Here's the picture we took...it was so great!

BYU vs. Air Force (Homecoming Game)

What can I say? It was a good game....the Cougars played amazing and WON! Woo hoo! Yes, that is my school! Cougars ROCK! Me, Suzanne, Jessa, and Jessa's roomate Robyn have season tickets right next to each other. It's great fun!

College Dorm Life

Me and Suzanne (my friends from back home and my roomate) decided after we got here and everything was all set up and put away in our new dorm, that our apartment was pretty plain. So being the college students we are, with very few dollars, decided to go down to the dollar store and buy some decor to spice things up a bit. These are just some of the pictures that we took after we proudly admired our newly decorated living room and kitchen. It's not much but we enjoyed doing it. I almost like it better b/c I can admire the work that we put into it b/c the dollar store isn't exactly the IKEA of Utah. It took us much time and energy to figure out what we could throw together with all the stuff that we saw there at the dollar store and this is what we came up with. We even made our own picaso finger painting. I'm sure it will be worth a fortune some day b/c IT IS THAT GOOD! Our other roomate Sam (who is featured in some of the pictures) helped us create that beautiful masterpiece. Also you will see Suzanne with our wonderful vegetable platter that we snaged at the ward party (it was a leftover!)

Utah Trip with ma' Girls!!

After graduation, me and my girlfriends took a grand ol' road trip to Utah to go suprise our long lost friend Jessa (she moved to Utah 2 years previous) at her graduation. I didn't post any pictures of us at her graduation but I'll tell you that she was quite surprised and quite happy to see us. It was great! She told us at one point that the only thing that was getting her though high school was knowing that she would get to go to college and hang out with us again. Us girls have been bosom friends (that's for all you Anne of Green Gable fans out there) since the beginning of high school, and it has stayed that way even when Jessa moved to Utah. The pictures I did post are just a section of the time that we spent with her. We went to a community pool up there in her neighborhood and just hung out and took some pretty cute pictures (I think anyways) by all the beautiful scenery next to the pool. Jessa's the one with red hair. Now that I'm in college, I get to see Jessa whenever I want b/c she does just live a couple buildings away which is pretty sweet!
