freshman

Take yourself back to the day you were a freshman living in the dorms.. the tiny little closets, the meal plans, the pranks, but more importantly, the quote wall.  Don't lie to me, I know your apartment had one!  I bring this up because on my way to school everyday I walk through good old Heritage Halls.  And everyday there is a dry erase board in one of the boys apartments that has a quote of the day.  These always make me smile, but today's quote made be laugh out loud...

"Pandas are the least racist because they are black, white AND Asian."

This was definately the highlight of my walk home, especially since it's freeeeezing today.  Hello, winter.. I didn't miss you one bit.

a last first

Today was my very last first day of school (well as a student).  Classes were great, the Talmage building missed me, and was able to lose and snag another job!  Thinking about it being my last semester I got a little reminiscent. Here is a short journey through my BYU years...

Freshman year:  Fox Hall.  Made the greatest friends ever and had the time of my life!

Best freshman memories:  Getting trapped for hours a Wal-Mart with Matt because we didn't have a car.  
Annoying the couple that would make-out EVERY night in our lobby.
Winning the ward Catch Phrase competition!

Sophomore year:  Regency. Started focusing more on school ;)

Best sophomore memories:  Roadtrips galore! To Idaho for Kristin's wedding and to St. Geroge and many a trip to SLC. 
The fire alarm going off in our apartment every time we cooked anything!
Decided and started my Math education major!

                            

Junior year:  Condo Row.  Hard classes and meeting LOTS of new people.

Best junior memories: Working at Seven Peaks with a bunch of crazy 15-year olds. 
Co-creating the Math Ed Association at BYU.
Photo shoots with TyRee and Dani.
MC HAMMER, need I say more?

Senior year:  Single Tree (my own room!). Matt comes home!!!

Best senior memories:  National Math Conference in San Diego!
Winning softball intramurals.
Getting ENGAGED!

Well now I'm a SUPERsenior and I'm pretty proud of the memories and friendships I've made at college. Real world: Bring it on.

the apartment

I know lots of people (well at least 3) wanted to see pictures of our new apartment so I finally took some! Let me take you on a tour of 258 Wymount Terrace....


The first stop is the living room.. We had to put the couch in front of the closet because of the cable jack and everything, but it works!




Next is the kitchen. We have lots of cupboard space and a nice pantry!



Then the bathroom.. pretty boring.



And last but not least.. the bedroom! We have a good closet and a really big walk-in storage closet! My only complaint is that Matt likes to keep his bike in our room. <3




Oh! and I almost forgot.. the wonderful view from out balcony!



Well that's about it. We love it and hope to stay here a while! Also, Matt's old roommate and adorable fiance are about to move in next to us so that will make it even more fun! The only downside is no air conditioning, but it's been so nice lately that I haven't even noticed! Much better than the gloomy basement we started out in!

i am a cake boss

Matt's birthday was a few days ago, and I decided to surprise him with a cake. It seemed that a guitar cake would be the perfect choice so I found this template on bettycrocker.com. I had lots of problems.. like the cake braking in half and then the frosting melting because our apartment is so hot, but after all that I think it turned out pretty good!




He loved it and that's all that matters...
HAPPY BIRTHDAY MATT!

first blog post

I am now officially part of the blogging club! Since I've been extremely bored this summer, I thought it would be a great thing to do. Matt and I have been married for an amazing two months now so here a few pictures from that UNFORGETTABLE day!
