Happenings

Hello all! Life has been pretty crazy lately. I moved out of The Colony (Hallelujah!!!!), and into Raintree at the end of August. So far things have been really good! My roommates are Quincey (Yay! So fun having her as a roommate), Rachel, Elsa, Jayne, and Ezmerelda. There are definitely a lot of strong personalities in our apartment, so that'll be interesting. I think we'll have a lot of fun together though. We've all gotten to know each other pretty well and for the most part everyone has gotten along. We've spent a lot of time at the hot tub, going on walks, and watching stuff on our gigantic TV. On my 19th birthday, school started up again. It made for a weird birthday, but it's kind of nice to be back on a regular schedule. I definitely didn't miss all those textbooks though! I'm busy now, but I think it will be a really good year. I guess we'll find out! Here's some of what I've been up to:

So we tried to make breadsticks once.......that turned out well. 

Then we tried to use our dishwasher.......also a success. 

And since neither of those plans worked out we decided to do homework........ya we're getting a lot done.

The one thing that did turn out nicely was our gigantic TV! It takes up half of our living room and we had to go door to door to recruit guys to carry it up to our apartment, but we made it work! Finally a success! 

That's all for now folks!  

In Our Apartment......................

Sleeping in this position is completely normal....

Swedish Twister is the greatest game ever. 

Going to a bridal fair pretending to be engaged and looking at bridal magazines is the perfect date....

You can pretend to be whoever you want to be - in this case, Charlotte was pretending to be Taylor...

You might come home to find a dead snowman at your door. Turns out it was alive until Claire saw it and decided to kick it over...............

You can kiss hundreds of cheesy pick-up lines and tape them to everyone in your ward's door the night before Valentine's Day....

you can eat all of this junk food just because it's Valentine's Day and you're single....(no we're not depressed, we just like junk food. and by we I mean I)

You can play in the snow, even when there is barely enough to cover the grass....
(you can play baseball with snow)

(you can build a snowman on my head while I sit on my snow throne)

(Oliver shows you a video of him jumping out is window in a laundry basket) 

(You can get your face shoved in the snow when you lose a snowball fight/chase 

(you can take epic pictures of yourself sitting in a throne of snow)

you can decorate your fridge like this.....

And that about sums up our apartment! 

Recent Shananagins

Is shananagins even a real word? I guess it is now! Look at me being a good little blogger. 2 posts in 1 day! I must be in calculus. Well here are my recent adventures!

Halloween! Charlotte was a mascaraed princess, I was smarty-pants, Bethanie was a dumb-dumb, Claire was a nerd, and Ty was a grease guy :) We look awesome!  

Ty and Claire :)

 This is us in the giant maze made out of a bunch of recycled stuff!

On Sunday we made a giant fort in our living room! 

We all ate dinner in it with Ty, AJ, and Caleb, and then 4 of us fell asleep in it afterwards........

Gotta love college life!

You Know You're in College When...

* Normally gross foods like Spaghetti-o's suddenly become appealing, simply because of how easy and fast it is to make

* Midnight is when you start thinking about going to bed

* You know what time your neighbors do their dishes

* You drop off random things like a cup of bacon grease at guy's apartments, just for fun

* Riding in a car is a luxury

* You eat 4 meals a day - Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner, and Midnight Meal

* You have latex glove wars

* Laptops are allowed in class

* You eat food in your room, just because you can

* Getting a full night's sleep is unheard of

* You offer to feed every guy you come in contact with

* Boys do your dishes for you

* You rarely have to open a door for yourself

I'm pretty sure I could go on forever! Here are some pictures of some of our adventures so far :)

 Our poem, Swedish fish smiley face, and cup of bacon grease that we gave to Marc for doing all of our dishes on Sunday :) 

 This is how easy it is to get someone's number here

(We found this on the sidewalk)

 Waiting to pour water on the guys across the street :) 

 Rubber Glove Wars!

A guy across the street drew this for us and wrote a poem in Italian on the back
