23 is awesome.

so, i have been wanting to post this for awhile, but i never seem to make time for writing it up. anyway, for ward prayer a couple weeks ago me and my roommates were asked to introduce our apartment. and of course being an apartment of girls who are really children at heart we decided to write a song! {3 of us play guitar, and the other 3 have been trying to learn : )} the song we came up with goes to the tune of 'free falling' by tom petty. i quite like the way it turned out. it's been quite an entertaining year with this bunch of roommates. between fist fights, locking each other out of the apartment, over-achieving {but adorable} craftiness and decorating, late night guitar sessions, children's book reading, allison's daily baking treats, slurpee's at 7-11, hot chocolate on the quad, broken kitchen sinks, and countless time spent watching whole seasons of hilarious tv shows in a week; this has been quite the eventful semester. which is sad because carina and katie will be graduating and moving out at the end of the semester. hopefully our two new roommates can appreciate how awesome our apartment always is.

23 is awesome.

show me a true blooded aggie.

this post doesn't really have any purpose or inspiration behind it. last thursday the four of us {janalee, rachel, sarah, and myself} decided to take a lovely walk to the 'a' on usu's campus and take some lovely pictures. for those who don't know the 'a' is the all-to-famous location where usu students become a 'true aggie.' translation...several times a year hundreds of eager students wait in a ridiculous long line to have a chance to stand on top of the 'a' and kiss a random stranger they could care less about. yes, it's for real. well, since this is the closest i ever hope to becoming a 'true aggie' here's some beautiful pictures to document the fun.





also this week me and my relief society presidency went on a retreat to get trained on all the excitement we get to be a part of this coming year. whoot. we had quite the fun time getting to know each other and start figuring out what we're doing!

{kelsie, shelley, aleisha, and emily} what are the odds that one of my counselors dad was my middle school science teacher?! so funny!

this year.

well school has finally started again. only three days into the semester and already i...may or may not have witnessed a drug deal, gotten lost on campus, 'earned' my first speeding ticket, received a calling, laughed until i couldn't breath, woke up at 5:30 am - four days in a row to workout, made some awesome new friends, tried indian curry, bought a justin bieber song (i swore i would never do it!) and fallen asleep in class. i feel like this year is going to be AWESOME!
