Girls will be Girls

Girls are messy. We really are, if you think boys are gross visit a girls apartment. We have hair everywhere, dishes piled in the sink, clothes EVERYWHERE (and I mean everywhere).

 I'm a sloppy person but I like a clean house(bedroom is a different story) when you combine 6 of the same type together BAMB instant mess all the time. The kind of mess that gives you a shudder when you walk in the room, the bad kind. After school I put on my big girl pants and decided it was time to turn the dive into a home again.



Dishes, Dishes and more Dishes


We had three days worth of dishes in the sink (*gag) a dirty kitchen floor, and I couldn't tell if the front room was a bedroom or a living room? Kadie helped me clean, I love her! she deals with me when I get in my cleaning moods and always helps me out. and an hour later we had a semi-clean apartment again!  It feels so great. If you want to see a good looking apartment, stop by. We celebrated by making some pancakes. Yum :)




Kadie is now the pancake master :)



The biggest pancake this apartment has ever seen

Mom, just so you know I just folded ALL my laundry. Its the truth, there are no clothes on my bed. A real miracle.

Last week I met Jimmer, he was doing a book signing. I wasn't here for the Jimmer craze, I knew who he was but I wasn't a crazy Jimmer worshiper. But during the whole book signing I was impressed with how genuinely nice he was to everyone. I am now a Jimmer fan. Go Kings!

The crew

My roomates are becoming family! I love them so much, we have dance parties all the time, right now we're all learning the Gangnam Style dance.... Koreans are the thing right now. We are trying to be cool :)

 Life is beautiful!  

Overflowing Toilets and other suprises

The roommates and I have made it a goal to clean our apartment up. When we first moved in it was gross. Actually it was disgusting. Trash everywhere. The smell was horrendous. We've washed a layer of grime off the floor, and discovered that the floor isn't really gray it's tan! We've painted our walls :) bought an air freshener. Gotten a new vacuum and cleaned drains out to get the smell to go away. And PRESTO! Our apartment looks tons better now. It's amazing what a little elbow grease can do to a place. 


Cleaning the Apt up 

Last week we were all doing our homework when the toilet started overflowing. We had no idea. The girls below ran up and told us mysterious water was coming from the ceiling, we opened the bathroom door and behold toilet water was everywhere. We somehow stopped the water form overflowing and called for help. but it was Gross!! I am not a toilet water kind of girl. The RA didn't even now what to do so we just left it over night. Bad idea, apparently toilet water and toilet paper don't mix when dried. Luckily the maintenance man fixed our toilet (yay) but didn't clean up the mess....that was up to us. I slapped on some gloves (thanks Gabi!) conjured some courage and went at it. The floors, toilet, and tub were sparkling by the time I was done.
 Gabi and I took the trash out, that was defiantly the worst part...water from the "great flood" hadn't evaporated and was still sloshing around in that trash. Water doesn't go well with feminine products and other goodies, sooo NASTY! we were gagging the whole way to the trash can. but I honestly think the toilet overflowing was a blessing, because the bathroom looks better than it EVER has here. So Thank you toilet for malfunctioning.

Amber came to visit me! It's been soo hard being away from her and the rest of my family. I miss them like crazy. It was a blast having her here! I got to show her around P-Town. We went to Red Mango...(one of our favorites) and Brick Oven which is also delicious! and topped it all off with BYU Creamery ice cream. Chocolate chip cookie dough with a doughy cookie on top. The angels above were singing. It was amazing. I also think that if there is the word cookie dough in it there is no calories because it's not cooked, right?


That right there is Chicken Alfredo Pizza. Try some, it's delicious!


 We watched the BYU vs UTAH game at a friends apartment..... what a crazy game. The cougs were soo close. I'm sad we lost, but I'm not disappointed in the team. They fought hard and I will love my cougars no matter what. Does anyone know where the kicker lives? I want to make him some cookies. Poor guy. I hope he doesn't feel to bad about that field goal.
 


Go COUGS!!
 

Amber had to leave and I was soo sad. It was hard to say goodbye...trying to smile while crying difficult. I miss her already and It's only been a day. Good thing she married an awesome guy, otherwise I would probably drive to Ogden and kidnap her on a regular basis.

Goodbye's are so hard

 

School is crazy. I love it. I need a new major. Suggestions are welcome. It's so hard to pick. I'll figure it our eventually, hopefully sooner than later! I also got to hike the Y.... again! Yay! I love that hike. I keep acting like a freshman sometimes and it's embarrassing, but I honestly can't help it, I get so excited for little things. I got to meet President Samuelson (he's such a nice guy!) Dad told me BYU is a "little-big world". So true! I love it. I love my new school, my roommates, skype, and all the things I'm learning here! I'm so grateful to be surrounded by such amazing people!

Cougar Town

It's finally official, I am a cougar. One of millions here. There are honestly so many people. My first day of school I walked around with my mouth hanging open. I felt like a little ant in a very VERY big School. People  are EVERYWHERE, all the time. It was intimidating, but now I've learned to just weave in and out of people.... or couples to get to class in time. A skill I acquired riding the bus home from school. It was a war trying to get on that yellow bus, Amber and I had the system down. I would fight my way on to save us a seat at the "prime location" and then she would join me when the battle was finished, I clearly was the competitive one. Thank you yellow school bus for preparing me for this mad jungle down here.

BYU vs Weber State. I couldn't pick a side :) Love them both!

It's a whole new world here, I see the funniest things walking around campus. A dad pushing a stroller running at FULL speed to class, (that really happened) two people kissing and riding their bikes at the same time. now that's talent? Next time I will ask if they want to go on America's Got Talent. The Bicyclist on campus are CRAZY! They ride sooo fast and almost run into us while we are walking to class. Scary. Scary. Scary. Thank goodness for the Bike Cops on campus who give out ickets :) They are legit tickets. I hear girls talk about who their "future companion" will be and all of the funny things BYU girls say, it just makes me laugh. BYU is a lot like what people say it is, but I love every second. Even the unusual ones, because It really is an amazing school. "Enter to Learn. Go Forth and Serve"



We painted our apartment. It looks like a home now

First day of school :)

My roommates are awesome. Gabi, Katie, Kadie, Jenna and Lindsay. They made me feel right at home. I feel like we're all family. It's impossible to get any school work done around here because we can't stop chatting. When I get home-sick they make me feel so much better :) I''ve been eating really, really, really, really bad down here. It's so hard to make food for one person when your in a hurry. So we started roommate dinners and I had real food two days in a row. Mom are you proud? No more cereal and chips for dinner anymore. Livin at  ghetto apartment makes me feel like I'm back in Ogden.  The people around here are great. But it's almost to social because we never get any sleep and I turn into a zombie without sleep. Defiantly not a good look.


True fans :)

I've officially hiked the "Y" three times now. I honestly love that hike, especially at night. My first day of school Igot a little lost trying to get back to my apartment so I just walked, and walked, and WALKED around campus and Heleman Halls trying to remember.  A little freshman boy tried to help me, but we both were lost. Bless his little heart for trying. I'm getting better at finding my way around. (yay!)


We made it to the top :)

I spending a lot of time in the library. Harold and I are becoming very good friends. I seriously love that place. I want to start quoting the "Old Spice" BYU commercial all the time. So funny. Every time I see a cart I want to hop on. There are some definite bonuses to going to such a big school. You get to see lots of 'famous' people doing normal things. I saw Riley Nielson and I freaked out.  Maybe one day I will stop acting like a freshman and become a pro at this BYU thing. Just maybe. :)

 

I love Provo. My Roomates. New Friends. New Places. and this New School! I can't wait for more of life's crazy adventures here in Cougar Town.
