Fah-He: Some Mormon Culture

So this would be my FHE groups video for the end of the year. FHE is family home evening, our Monday night greatness, although apparently we're just supposed to call it Home evening now but thats lame so I call it -Fah-he for the best of both worlds. SO, this is our video- BYU-I do style. I love that mormons can make fun of their own crazy culture; this one happens to be about the creepy girls who feel the need to marry any RM they lay their creeper baby hungry eyes on. Enjoy the creepy kids.

This as close to marriage as i will be getting for the next few years...at least.

Steve You Say?

Guess what happened about 5 years ago? I met my two best friends in the whole world, and one of them is named stephanie, or steve, or stephers, you know whichever fits at the time. Point is- I love this woman like my sister. She is my sister. And we got the privilege of going to college for our first semester together and I could not be more grateful.

This lady and I have gone through more things together than I can count. Starting off in middle school as beehives, walking home from Schimelpfenig, crazy sleepovers, laundry nights, talking about our futures and all the weddings, births, moving, and deaths in our families. Scream from the mountain top happy times or break down and cry your eyes out times. Living together for the last semester of senior year of high school, or living together (maybe unintentionally) for the first semester of our college life. As we realized lately we might not have almost ANYTHING in common- but you are one of those friends you don't make because they are like you, but because they complement you. We really do bring out the best in each other sometimes, since we're both crazy and all. Can't believe after everytime that I've cried like a baby when we split, i still bawled when you left school this time too.

 

 I keep stopping and starting this post over because it's hard to decide through how many memories or stories or words I could put in here to tell you how much you mean to me- but over all i think yo know more than anything you will be one of my bestfriends forever. One day you'll find that man whos less than perfect (as all men are) but you'll love him so much it wont matter, and he'll be your bestfriend but heaven forbid he tries to take my spot; and you know I'll be creepin every steph of the way to make sure he's good enough for you. But until then we'll go through school together and learn whatever heavenly father has to throw at us and grow together like we always do. I love you steve!

Forever 

19th Birthday!

Well guess who has been super late on updating ze blog? This kid...and this kid is now OFFICIALLY 19. Scary, yes? Well my wonderful roommates surprised me when i came home on Saturday night. I opened the door and they were all sitting in the dark with with house decorated, with delicious food on the table and gifts. I freaking love them so much. Also go to celebrate the day of oldness with my birthday twin, Jefferson. Holla for oldness! 

Had a cake fight, my lovely kaity kitty made us dinner, I got to see my friend Monica from home and talk about how much we miss Texas:) I got a package from my family and a wonderful card from my little sister. Officially an old beanbag....20 next year? holy scary. another year down! :)

Sexy and I know it

So I love my roommate Claire, my neighbor Kaity and my bestfriend Stephanie.

They get me.

We have dance parties in our kitchen when I feel like avoiding homework for a bit.

We are embarrassing, and I love it. So much. God must have put us together for a reason. 

Have a sexy day everyone. 

Little birthday with a side of Apostle

So this week went by super fast, lets have a recap shall we? 

My roomies birthday was this week!

This ladies and gents is my lovely roommate Claire. She is now officially old! Just kidding, but time is flying. Jenn, Marissa and i preped for her birthday with a new scripture case, cake, cinnamon rolls and a few decorations. I love celebrating peoples birthdays! We even took down the decorations in reasonable time...

That also happened to be Devotional day and L. Tom Perry of the quorum of the 12 came! how freaking amazing is this school? There were a million and two people there ( ok, hyperbole but you catch my drift) 

And later in the week my lovely neighbor Kaity decided to make cupcakes, which are freaking delicious by the way. I enjoy her quite a bit :) 

Oh and for a little last tidbit, can i just say i really love my roommates? A lot of people have been saying they get in fights with their roommates a lot, well this doesn't happen to us because my roommates are awesome. I am blessed. :) Happy weekend all!

Move In Day!

I finally moved into my new "house"! It's seriously a blessing and a curse to have such a big dorm. I guess most dorms are just one room and a couple beds....weelllll not BYUI! There's 2 rooms in each dorm, 4 girls, a living room, bathroom and kitchen! So the downfall is buying all the things for these rooms, but i guess we can stick to the positives now.

My Side! this was before i put stuff on the wall under the bed but you get the jist. Thought I'd try to spruce up the cinder block... Dad helped me move in Monday morning, and felt weird when he left but hey, It's college!

My roommates and I have had a rough time trying to figure out how to decorate out living room, it can get kinda pricey... but I ran to walmart today (many many MANY thanks to monica and her roomates!) and got a couple starting things to make it look more homey and not so homely.

Tada! and you see the mini Christos in the corner? yeah, awesome. He's chillin with the bowl of candy on the desk for our house guests. :) Today was also the first day of classes and thus far, success! Now we'll see what happens with the 7 am class tomorrow...not quite like today where i started at 11:30..(which is a beautiful thing by the way)

So over all, I like Barnes Hall, and i like the campus and I'm liking classes. crossing my fingers it stays this way!
