A BYU Blog: The Weekend of Dates and Adventures

Sometimes we still all the cookies during ward prayer and eat them with our FHE bros. I don't think anyone found out about my stalker pic except Sherlynn. Ward prayer at it's finest my friends. December 8th.

And who else is better to sit by at ward prayer than Jenni? She has such class.

Skyping with Shanniqua. <3 If only we weren't so busy loving the college life. This was probably the first time we talked all semester. Life is good at Northern Colorado.

Science classes are always the worst. That is why we support Robby the Bio TA. Lessons with the other two TAs could be pretty dry, but Robby always had funny stories and an ease with teaching. I will admit I almost fell asleep a couple of times in that class with Susan, even though Professor Smith was great. Nobody fell asleep during a lesson by Robby. haha thank you, Robby the Bio TA.

During a mid-freshman year crisis I didn't know what to do the summer following winter semester. After lots of prayer and worrying, I acted on a prompting to apply for the Spring London Theatre Study Abroad. Study Abroad was NEVER one of my plans so I thought was a long short.... until I received this email. The interview went very well and I was almost certain I was going to London in six months. Only two or three people knew during the application and waiting process. I don't think I often keep secrets, so this was crazy.

December 12th BYU Idaho shows up with a Christmas gift for our office, chocolates!!! They were so delicious. I don't know why or how the BYU-I people came to our office, but they did and it was great.

December 12th, my life is complete. We threw a Yule Ball. Yeah, like from Harry Potter. For a little bit it was like we all went to Hogwarts. #dreams lol it really was so fun though with Daniel. Here is us with the random bench. Why is it there? We don't know... Some people were standing on it, others were sitting, then there are those that stand in front. We like to do our own thing.

The night was crazy since I had a choir concert and he was running the lights for it. We changed in the HFAC and then walked over to the Central Building in formals. After the dance we played Catch Phrase with my roommates, their dates, and some neighbors in the second floor lobby until curfew. Night: Success!

My beautiful roommate Marie.

Looking classy with Melissa. <3

We really should have taken a picture with all the roommates, but we were scattered before the dance started. 177 cleans up nicely folks.

Thinking of Susan leaving us for the mission field is too much to bare. We sent her this picture as a snapchat and that we miss her already. She sent back that I look like a Disney princess. I knew I liked that girl. Being a Disney princess is ALWAYS the goal.

December 13th, talking to Susan about life, boys, food, etc... the usual. ;)

She turned to me and asked, "Want to see my boy?"

"Of Course!"

"This is him! I have no boy!"

Always a good time with Susan. <3

Our group date to Lowes. Lowes?? Yes, it's a trampoline gym here in Provo, not a hardware store. We were pretty confused on the drive there. From left to right: Kennen, Marie, Tyler, Sam, Joe, Jenni, Tyler holding Pamela, Melissa, Me, Chris, and Trevor. Why is Tyler P. holding Pamela? She landed wrong jumping off one of the trampolines and tore her ACL. She actually had to get surgery at the end of the semester. She was amazingly calm the whole time for totally messing up her knee.

Driving back with these crazies. Our car was pretty packed. I love mine and Marie's eyes in this one.

Kennen is a good driver.. when he's not posing for pictures or running over sidewalk.

Marie, Chris, Me, Joe, Jenni, and Kennen

Movie night with the 101 group. We saw part two of the Hobbit. For not seeing the first one, this one was still really good. We were going to go ice skating afterwards, but the rink had already closed. Instead we went to Miranda's apartment to make hot chocolate and play some games. This is an attempt at taking a selfie with six people and a Christmas tree... It is not easy.
