Better Late Then Pregnant!

So it's been a while. And a lot has happened. So this post might be a little bit on the spastic side... brace yourselves. I have come back to BYU for my second semester. GO COUGS! 

My family came skiing right after I came back to school and that was a lot of fun, even though there was no snow. 

The Allison. A classic.

Then it was time to sign contracts for apartments next year. AHH!! Scary right?? And somebody (Kass) thought it would be a good idea to camp out! Worst idea ever. Nobody slept because we had six girls ins a four-man tent and it was January so it was naturally freezing. I woke up--and I use that term lightly since we didn't really sleep--with frozen hair from the side of the tent. But the good news is we got our apartment! Mansion 22 baby!!

Tarleigh is legit with her head-lamp.

Don't we look so excited to camp??

Then we had a super awesome ward activity at this tubing place in Heber. It was a blast... until it started snowing when had to drive home through the canyon. I was safe in Kass's little blue bug, but we did have a couple kids spin out and crash into eachother. But still a super fun activity. 

These big events are a blast, but what makes college fun on a day to day basis are the little things. I now it sounds sappy but its true. We are just silly.

Gotta love Jordan's BYU Christmas stocking shoes!

I'm a Who from Whoville!

And about the title? I was going to write better late then never but this popped into my had from this funny thing I read on Facebook. Its little kids finishing popular sayings. Enjoy.

College is Busy.

So I have been busy as you can tell by the lack of posting... Sorry. So back to where I last left off:  my parents came!! It was so good to see them! Then over the saturday that they were here, I took some friends up to stay with us in Park City. We went shopping, made cookies and ate delicious food cooked by my Dad. It was a great weekend.

Then the next week we got new bed frames! Woo Hoo!! I know we shouldn't be this excited for a new bed frame but it was the most excitement I have ever seen on our floor! They are way nicer now because 1) we can fit way more stuff under our beds and 2) the 30 year old jagged metal doesn't cut me any more! The unfortunate thing about getting the new bed frames was that we had to move everything out from under our beds. And that's a lot of stuff

The new and improved bed!!

Then it was HALLOWEEN!!! They gave us bonus visiting hours for trick-or-treating. This girl named Carolyn who lives down the hall decided to dress up as a sexy bearded bachelor and Nikki was her cat.

She was playing Kenny G and that is her fireplace app a'burning!!

Trick-or-treating in the boy's hall! So fun!

Then we got to hear from the Prophet at Devotional last week! That was supper cool

This is my picture of President Monson. We were is the dead center in row K. very close. He is the big white flash.

Here is a good picture from the devotional. It was amazing. 

Then Nikki got coerced into going on a date with our crazy RA's cousin so we decided to stalk them to the MOA! 

Here is a cool picture of a book sculpture.

And this is Ashley, Sadie and Carolyn planking in the weird Nazi strobe light movie room.

Then we had to deal with the Modesty Nazis!! The building advisor goes of town for one weekend and they plaster posters all over all the halls and the bathrooms and the lobby!

Everyone was really peeved by these and decided to rebel against the signs. They were ripped down from everywhere by the end of the week. Someone wrote on the skirt posters "so an inch determines my salvation". And Carolyn taped these posters all over our hall: 

Then you know that awkward moment when you walk out into the hall and your crazy RA is skipping down the hall in her wedding dress????? If you don't you are lucky.

Yes this was a creepy sneak attack picture.

Then we had a Bridal Shower for two girls on our floor getting married. We used this funny panty poem as our present to them:

Bridal Shower Panty Poem

The Stover girls have a secret to share 

About our little brides

They are obsessed with underwear 

And that we cannot hide

So for our little panty queens

We gathered up some twine
And working as a friendly team
We made a panty line.

Sarah & Merissa, these undies are to last you
All throughout your life
And Edgar & Adam will be pleased to say
They have a sexy wife!

So listen up to hear about
Your lifelong panty plan
These underwear, we have no doubt
Will last your whole life span 

The first are for your wedding day
Of course they are pure white
We know Edgar & Adam will shout, "Hooray!"
When he sees you on that night

The next are for your honeymoon
They're sexy and all lace
We hope you'll leave your hotel room
'Cause California’s a gorgeous place!

On Valentine's you'll wear this pair
Before you hit the bed
Cuz Cupid's arrow in the air
Shoots tushies that are red

After a year has passed you'll face
Anniversary number one
With these you'll surely have a blast
'Cuz leopard's so much fun!

Then when the time is right for you
And don't be saying, "Maybe"
You'll wear your little pink or blue
In honor of your baby

And when your years of wedding bliss
Become the big 2-5
Don't worry - you'll just slip this on
To keep the sparks alive

When finally you're old and gray
With these you can't go wrong
'Cuz sorry Sarah & Merissa but at that age
You just can't wear a thong!!!

Our present doubled as decorations!

 

Sarah's line

Merissa's Line

We love bridal showers!

How do we relax after such a busy couple of weeks??

Make fun of Kass!!! But the face masks help too :)

My Life Currently

So here at BYU time passes in strange ways. We are so busy that the weeks pass very quickly, but the days are twice as long. If you don't see someone for a day it feels like a week. This just adds to the fact that we seem to move from test to test, essay to essay. 


Which brings me to my next point:  midterms sound like a week of tests, but in fact I have been taking midterms for going on the THIRD WEEK. It's exhausting and stressful. But on a non-school note, its fun up here! This is what we have been up to lately in Stover 3200: 


Oktoberfest!!!

Joey and Katie Jane playing with the cutouts.

Joey and Carliegh with none other than Martin Luther and Angela Merkel the Chancellor of Germany.

Cutouts are fun!!

Joey creeping on Angela Merkel.

Joey and Ashley switched jackets. 

Spark!!

We love Nikki!!

Our view at our table. Carliegh and Moriah enjoyed it quite a lot. 

Back at Stover.

We decorated out urinals. Happy Fall!!

Priesthood Girls Night.

So as I have mentioned before, my floor is very fun. Today we decided to go out to a fancy dinner during priesthood session. We went to Tempinyaki Grill which is one of those Japanese places were they cook right in front of you. It was very cool. And tasty. It was very nice to get off campus, even though we had a bit of a hard time getting there! It took us two U-turns and a three point turn on main road to find our way. I really miss driving. But dinner was a blast! My floor is just great!

You have to take the Asian stereotype picture at an asian restaurant!

Time for a Break.

 It has been a pretty busy few weeks so far with all of my classes picking up at the same time. I have had four tests and two essays in the last two weeks and now we head almost straight into midterms. Sometimes you just have to take a break and notice all the silly things that happen up here.

I burnt myself with a curling iron and I think it bears a strange resemblance to the islands of Hawaii!!

I took this creeper picture of one of the workers in the Cannon Center while I was in the salad line. I know it fuzzy but yes you are right. That is a dark mark tattoo on her arm.

My floor also decided to become social almost over night so now if ever I leave my room to go to the bathroom or get a drink of water, I get distracted by the fun and end up painting my nails in the hall or blasting sappy music out the windows at couples for a hours. I always try to get back to my studying but they call it FOMO - fear of missing out - that keeps me from "retreating back to the lab" as Nikki says. So instead I study in the wee hours of the morning and consequently suffer from FONS - fear of never sleeping. Its quite a balancing act, this college thing.
