Shout Out to Snow Hall!!

Welp.... sadly, our year at Snow Hall is coming to an end :( But I will never forget all the memories I have made and the friends I have met! You all seriously made my year a whole lot of fun! I just wanted to write a little post about all the people that I have met and thank you all for your influence in my life :) Here goes....

KODY BRAUN:
Kody, Kody, Kody.... I am super glad that you stopped to say hello to me, Tara and Elli on your way back to Snow way back during the first week of the school year!! You are seriously one of the funniest kids I have ever met! I'm kind of sad that we didn't get to hang out much this year but the times we did were great!

LIZZ ANDERSON:

You, my dear, kill me! I can't help but laugh at everything you say! I'm so glad I got to meet you when we played Mafia for HOURS in 201! You were definitely the entertainment and life of the party! You are beautiful and I wish you luck in all your future endeavors!

106 BOYS:
You all are dolls! I am so glad I got to know all of you! Thanks for all of our laughs and fun times! Dinner at Texas Roadhouse for Sam Boy's birthday, beating the shocking game, going bowling at the Fun Park, finding the Palm Trees on the mountain, attempting to tie two doors together with zip ties, watching ya'll so Insanity and P90X workouts and many more! And ANDREW PAULSON: Thanks for always being a friend when I needed one! I love you!

108 BOYS:
You handsome devils you!! I'm gonna be honest, I had NO idea ya'll were cousins until last Monday night at  2nd dam! But I just wanted to tell you all how much I love you guys! RYLAN JOHN: you're a creep... and I love it! You can always make me laugh! Thanks for freaking Rach and I out in the car while driving to the nunnery. Oh and please don't judge me too harshly for watching Jersey Shore.... not all of us are perfect :) JER BEAR JOHNSON: You are so stinkin' cute and I love that you keep KissStix handy at all times! I'll be honest, I've had a little crush on you all year... sue me! But I am glad that I got to know you more these last couple of weeks! JOSH RASMUSSEN: I like listening to you play the guitar and sing... even if it is about a girl with one eye :) And I like listening to you tell jokes, which may or may not be the most racist things I have ever heard!

ANDREA CHRISTENSEN:
You, me dear, are so sweet!! You always have something nice to say to everyone and you're always smiling! You have a happy vibe that radiates from you and it's definitely contagious!
AMANDA ALLEN: 
I love seeing you at PPC!! I go there like once a week with my best friend.... so don't judge us haha we like to eat! But you are beautiful my dear and like I said about Andrea, I always see you smiling! You're just a positive and happy person!
TAYLOR CARDON:
You are stinkin' adorable, my friend! I am terribly sorry that I never really became acquainted with you until just very recently but hey, better late than never! But just wanted to let you know that you're one of the kindest people I know! You're willing to make friends with pretty much anyone :)

207 GIRLS:
MIKAYLA BASSETT: I am SO glad that you moved from Hawaii and moved in across the hall from  me! You have impeccable taste in music and you know how to have a good time! Thanks for letting me tag along with you to PPC Karaoke, it was seriously so fun! I've said it before and I will say it again, you are gorgeous! KAITLIN SCHRAMM: We have had some FUN times!! I'm so glad I got to watch you dance like a gangster and that you took my camera at the bonfire! I got so many great pictures because of it! Love you girl!

JOHN TERRY: I seriously could not have asked for a better RA for my first year at school! You made it so easy to come talk to you and always had something fun planned! Thanks for all your work-- Snow 2nd Floor for life :)

205 GIRLS:
I didn't get to know all of you very well but you all seem like amazing girls!! KATELIN ALLEN: I love you to death girl! I love watching LOST with you! Lauren's cabin was SO fun! I think all we did was eat, watch lost and sit in the hot tub! I love having class with you, makes it so I don't have to sit by someone I don't know! Anyway, you're beautiful and I hope to see you around!

TEIGAN BECK: Needless to say, we are BOMB at Skittle bowling.... Ok, we really aren't but who is?! Thanks for being my partner girl! :)

201 BOYS:

Let's talk about how much I love this room!! Justin, Scott, Jake and Kolson.... you guys are all GREAT! Favorite guy room in all of Snow Hall!! JAKE GUTKE: You're a punk.... but that's ok, I still love you! I'm SO glad that we eventually realized that we had class together! Thanks so much for all of your study help and by that I mean thank you for letting me read over your study guide once you finished it! You definitely helped me pass this class and stay motivated enough to come everyday :) KOLSON ASHTON: Our "blind date" was awesome ;) hahahaha umm I enjoyed the time I got to spend in ya'll's room, you are so funny! I also appreciate your super funny and random texts! Like the one about dropping Paul off at Wonka's chocolate factory... and many others! :)

204 GIRLS: 

PLAY SOME MORE IN 204!!!! You girls were seriously some of my best friends this year! KELSIE BIRD: You probably don't know this, but you inspired me to start reading my scriptures everyday and I have a goal to read the entire BOM for the first time. I would see you read them every night without fail and that inspiration has been passed on to me! Thanks for all the yummy treats that you have brought down over the months!! I'm gonna miss you girl! RACH HOLLAND: Umm... where do I begin?! Maybe at the beginning of the year when neither of us liked each other...?? haha wow! But I love you so stinkin' much! I am SO glad that we found out that we have class together and became friends! You honestly became one of my best friends up here! I love you so much and I am going to miss you like crazy! Marlee Matta: You have one of the happiest personalities that I have ever known in a person! Whenever I've been to your apartment you're always just so friendly to everyone! I'm glad we got to hang out and do a few things together this year! You're so great Mar! Kait Boman & Taylor Stuart: I have to put the two of you together because that's the way it flows. The only time I have seen one of you without the other is in Creative Arts when Tay was there and Kait wasn't. You both are seriously a party! You know how to make me laugh until my stomach hurts! We've had some fun adventures! From 4 cousins, jumping off a tree into freezing water, getting scared out of our minds, watching movies and so much more. I love you girls so much and will miss you like crazy as well! 

DAVE STRIDER SMITH: I probably should have put you at the very top because chances are, you're done reading this by now!! Let me start off by saying how much I love you kid! I am SO grateful that you and Kody decided to stop and say hi on your way back to your apartment that first week of school! We became instant friends and I have loved every minute of it! I love when you randomly walk into my apartment because seeing you just makes my day happier! I loved having biology with you because I knew I got to see you every other day (until you decided to sit with your pledge brother and ditch me and Elli... punk!) I look up to you like you're my big brother! I have loved all of our talks and all the rides we took in your MONSTER of a truck at the beginning of the year! Sure, we've had our "arguments" about things... mainly 1 if you know what I'm talking about but I love you regardless. I will miss you like crazy over the summer. I sincerely hope that you come back to USU next year but I understand that you have to do what's best for you! Regardless of what happens, you've influenced a huge part of my life, even if it's only been a few months of knowing you! I love you Dave!

And last, but certainly not least.... MY ROOMMATES!!!! I lucked out this year and got amazing roommates!! Lauren and Tanna- you're both beautiful and can make me laugh so hard! I appreciate all of our talks about missionaries and boys and well you know, the usual girl stuff! I hope you have a BLAST living together again next year! MARISSA CAMPBELL: I freaking love you!! As you know, we all did a little preliminary judging before any of us knew each other. I was sketchy about you but you have proven me wrong! I love that we can laugh about anything and everything! I love all the new vocabulary words you have introduced me too and all your sassiness. I have loved listening to all your boy problems and hearing about what's been going on between the Sig's and Alpha Chi! I love sitting in yours and Em's room just talking about everything. You are so beautiful and I am going to miss you like crazy girl! I wish you all the best! Who knows..... maybe I will rush Alpha Chi and we can be sorority sisters one day?? Love you girl!!

 EMILY BROWN: Oh Em... where do I start with you? I LOVE YOU!! We instantly bonded from the very beginning of the year and I couldn't be happier about it! I love dealing with all your "Vegas Girl" and "Short Girl" problems because most of the time, they cracked me up! Having to reach the toilet paper for you became a common occurrence in our apartment! I am SO glad that I didn't have to suffer through Ballam's class alone! Thankfully, I had you, Cait and Tay with me! We've been through a lot of laughs, a lot of tears and some sickness here and there but I wouldn't trade any of it! I don't know what I'm going to do this Summer without you and Marissa living my house with me, it's going to be the weirdest thing to me!! Have fun this Summer in the Vegas heat and I will most definitely be seeing you next year... or else!! :) LOVE YOU baby girl!! :)

In closing, I just want to say GOOD LUCK to all of our amazing missionaries that will be leaving this summer! You all will do SO great and I can't wait to hear all about your adventures! :)

Until Next Time, "Don't be dismayed at goodbyes, a farewell is necessary before you can meet again and meeting again, after moments or lifetimes, is certain for those who are friends."

FHE BONFIRE

For our FHE this week, all the families in our ward went to 2nd Dam last night to have a bonfire and roast mallows. Honestly, I haven't had this much fun in SO long!! I love my ward so much and I love all the people there that I have come to know and love! This is only a small portion of the pictures that were taken! If you want to see them all, you'll have to look at my FB pictures!

I love this picture SO much! These kids are the best! Dang, we're a good looking bunch, aren't we!?

Sam, Andrew, Marlee, Taylor, Me, Justin, Sam and Alicia

 Me, Mikayla, Katelin, Kels and Kohl

 Marlee and Me :) Oh, and Andrew in the background!

 Oh they were just singing a song.... and getting REALLY into it obviously!

 Cute kids :)

Taylor & Taylor :) AKA: T-Squared!

 These boys are just so dang cute! Kolson, Taylor and Me!

Kaitlin!! I love this girl :)

Scott was poking Marlee.... don't mind the face! but this picture is still cute!

 Lizz was roasting a mallow on Scott's head.... because he's a ginger!

 You can't see it in this picture, but that mallow was ON FIRE!!! Yes, Kolson is a fire eater.... part time job!

T-Squared AGAIN!! I love this woman! she's thee best!

 JUSTIN & JAKE!! I love these boys oh so much! They always keep me laughing! 201 will always be my favorite room!

We're kind of adorable! I honestly don't know what it is but I LOVE this picture!!

 Oh this is just my friend Rylan John.... he likes to be a creep sometimes..... But I love him anyway!

Until Next Time, "Don't walk behind me; I may not lead. Don't walk in front of me; I may not follow. Just walk beside me and be my friend."

Obsession

So.... I am IN LOVE!! I'm in love, I'm in love and I DON'T CARE WHO KNOWS IT!!! Ok, that was a little dramatic but seriously, I am obsessed with One Direction. And no, I am not jumping on the band wagon because I watched them ALL on the X-Factor before they were One Direction. So put that in your pipe and smoke it!
Anyway, if you don't know who they are... you have got to be living under a rock! Love them to death. Just watch below and you'll see why!!

This is my current ringtone and also the song you all hear (any probably pause) when you visit my blog... SOOO good!! It's called What Makes you Beautiful

 

This one is called One Thing. The lyrics are ADORABLE!! :)

This is the same song as above but the acoustic version which, honestly, I might actually like better than the original!

Until Next Time, "Without music, life would be a mistake."

Things You'll NEVER Hear Me Say

I was reading my good friend Lindsey Berg's blog and I came across this post. I read through Berg's and I also read through Paige's, which is where Lindsey got the idea.... so now it's my turn :) I think these are way funny so I hope you enjoy! Also, if you ever hear me saying any of these things, I give you permission to slap me!
