My Life is Now Complete



I know you are all thinking that this is a miracle that I am writing for the second time in two days, well it is a miracle.
But last night me, Lindsey, Sarah and Kimber all bought tickets to see the premiere of Twilight! We went at the midnight showing and before hand all we could was giggle about how excited we were to finally see the movie.
Well with all this excitement we get quite hungry, so we made a
pit stop at TGIF to get some dessert. We all had some very very very very delicious meals and had a great time laughing (something we do the best) at each other. Actually I feel like they are just laughing at me, most of the time, just kidding they are laughing with me.
After we had our delicious deserts, my being the Brownie Obessesion, we headed over to the theater where it was already quite packed with Twilight obessed fans like ourself. But after an hour long wait in the theater sitting next to some weirdos, and technical difficulties we were able to watch Twilight and we all LOVED it!!! It was totally worth getting only 3 hours of sleep and having to take a couple tests the next day.

Almost There

I am so sorry I haven't updated the blog in so long. Life has just been crazy with all sorts of tests and papers and crazy anal teachers. I have officially taken up residency at the library, and I am just wondering why I have paid rent at my apartment when don't even leave there. I am just excited for Thanksgiving break because I might be able to go to bed at before 3 am and wake up after 7-8 am I know, I know mom I need my sleep, trust me I know. 

But don't worry everyone I have been having some fun in-between cramming for my World Civilizations, Biology and Spanish tests this week. I of course go hang out with some awesome friends, I have recently discovered that the Karate Kid movies are amazing and full of all sorts of scripture doctrine, Miyagi ione smart cookie. 

The last couple family home evenings have been so much fun. Two Mondays ago we went over to our AMAZING Bishop's house and played a game, we all tied balloons around our ankles and then tried to pop each others balloon. We all got quite into it and had a great time. Bishop even ended tackling Brandon to get a balloon popped. The above pictures of Lindsey cutting out our delicious sugar cookies, thanks for the recipe mom. For the activity we all got a piece of paper, wrote our name on it, and then wrote something we were grateful for each person. It is was fun and very touching to let everyone know how much you appreciate him or her. Also on Tuesday Lindsey had a choir concert where she did an amazing job, and the rest of us in the crowd got some good entertainment from some VERY enthusiastic choir singers. 

I am so excited for the next coming week. I get to home to see my family and see my big brother who I haven't seen in 2 years. I can't believe it has been that long since he left. I also can't wait to see my sisters that I haven't seen in months and all my adorable nieces and nephews. 

And then after we get back from Thanksgiving Break we will all only have 2 weeks of school left and then the semester will be over. I can't believe the girls in 301 will be broken up. And I can't believe they are dumbing me :,( 

But one of the most exciting things of all is TWILIGHT!!!!!!!!! It comes out tomorrow night and we are all going to go see it together. I am absolutely so excited to watch this. All I know is that during it I am going to be so excited I will just have to keep telling myself...deep breath Jessica, deeeeeep breath!

Happy Halloween!!!

Our outfits on Halloween night. Sarah was a gangster, Kimber a soccer player (aka herself) and I was 3-Hole Punch Jessica (like a piece of paper).
At the ward party with the pie eating contest. Even after Greg (right) spit half of his pie in Jared's (left), Jared still won!

Us girls at the Ward Party. Emily and I were cowgirls, Sarah was a nerd and Kimber was again a soccer player.

For halloween this year we all got really excited and go into the spirit. The apartment was covered with cobwebs from friendly spiders and we even had a couple pumpkins lying around the apartment. The night before Halloween we went to a ward party, where we were able to dress up and play some games. During the past week Lindsey had a Halloween concert with the school and she did a wonderful job playing the harp and dressing up like a pirate, sadly I didn't take any pictures of her awesome outfit. 

And also on Halloween night, Kimber, Sarah and I got dressed up once again and went to a party at a friend's house. They had dry ice bombs and fun games. We had a great time.

Meet the the Family

The Family!!!

My calling in my college ward is the FHE mom, and I have been doing an absolutely terrible job being a mom, I haven't showed off how cool my 16 children are. 

We are quite a crazy group, in the past we have done lots of games, like the animal game, and if anyone wants to know Thomas does the animal noises, we also did some games like "What If...." and last week we did an awesome scavenger hunt, and we had some very delicious treats over the past week, and by the 

Well I just want to give everyone a little introduction to our little family away from our families. The boys include Tyler, Marc, Thomas, Danny, Ryan, and the FHE dad, Brandon. There are two apartments of girls, in apartment 103 there are Ashley, Becka, Jessica, Brittany, Brooke and Kathleen. And then there is apartment 301 being, Emily, Kimber, Lindsey, Kassie, Sarah and ME! 
This last FHE we took on the Halloween Spirit and 
carved/painted pumpkins. The boys brought out their knives (very scary I know) and the girls did what we do best which is paint! Our pumpkins turned out rather fabulous if you ask me and we all had a blast sing Disney songs.

Mothers Weekend

This last weekend was a great one indeed. Mothers all over the nation came to the campus of BYU-Idaho, and our apartment had the opportunity to have two of them with us. Kassi and Emily's mothers came and we all just fell in with love with them. The rest of us kind of got a little depressed because we didn't get to have our mothers with us but we quickly got over that. Saturday night we got to go see Momma Mia, such a funny movie, we laughed so hard throughout the entire thing. And when we got home we had lots of fun playing apples to apples and ate some food Kassi's mother made for us.

This is way we dress to go out in public, in our sweats. The best way to go!

Kassi with her amazing mother, we all loved her!!!
But the most amazing thing happened while we slept Saturday night, it SNOWED!!!! We all woke up with snow falling and everything covered in white. What a wonderful sight!

Cupcake Wars!

On Friday night Sarah, Kimber and I had an amazing night. Jared, Brett and Drew came over with all the ingredients to make cupcakes. We all worked together and made way too many cupcakes, that were all beautifully decorated.
But while we were enjoying our chocolate on chocolate cupcakes Kimber made a move on Sarah and got icing all over her face. Then Brett thinking he was oh so clever he tricked Jared into getting a little closer and got a LARGE amounts of icing all over his face. Then chaos irrupted in apartment 301. Icing was flying everywhere, Brett attacked Jared, Jared attacked Drew and me, Drew got Sarah, Sarah got Kimber and Drew and I got Drew and Jared also. 
After we escaped all the chocolatey icing that was now all over faces and in our hair, much to the dismay of all the girls, we came back into the apartment. We then all cleaned up all that we could and went to and watched Iron Man (amazing movie). 
All in all we had an awesome night and the next day we found a huge glob of icing on our door.

The Whole Ten Yards

Once every week, us girls battle the winds and the freezing tempatures and watch the boys in our ward play a little football. This last game we went to was so cold, we bundled up so tightly but yet the cold air still wiggled its way through our coats, our other four layers of clothing and froze us to the bones. But amazingly enough once we cuddled up and piled up on top of each other, it was somewhat bearable.

We found this to be the method to be the warmest....SPOONING!!

Anxiously Engaged

Our first roommate has become engaged. Emily Jean Crowley is no engaged to be married to Brett Jared Blodgett. They plan to get married in April in the Oakland, CA temple. 
Aren't they soooo cute?

Conference Weekend

As conference weekend approached Apartment 301 decided to vacate Rexburg and follow the exodus to Utah. Kassi went to Logan to spend some time with some family and friends, Emily went to Salt Lake City with her Brett to see family and attend General Conference, Lindsey went to Riverton to stay with her Aunty and Uncle, her parents came up from New Mexico and she was able to see her boyfriend so she was one happy girl. Kimber headed to Provo to hang out with her brother and had the opportunity to see conference, and Sarah and I stuck together like glue, we went to Provo to see Miss Kennedy Wise and then went to West Jordan to see Sarah's sisters and their husbands. 
Here are just some pictures that I took while I was there but you will just have to wait and see the other's girls pictures. 
Late Friday night I hiked up to the Y. A little more intense then I thought. 
Sarah with her two sisters and their husbands. We had so much fun with these guys. 

Sarah and I forgot to take a picture at the restaurant we ate at so we took a picture in the bathroom.

Best Concert EVER

So Kassi, Karina (one of Kassi's friends from back home) and I went to one of the best concerts EVER! It was Allred, Summer Set and We Shot the Moon (there was another HIIPP-HOPPP band but they totally sucked). It was so good and almost every single band member was very much so attractive. We had so much fun rocking out to great songs and just having a blast.
Us girls showing off our signed arms. After the concert ended we got our arm signed by the very much so attracted singer from We Shot the Moon. So AMAZING!!

apparently nobody likes my face..

I'm always off on the side getting serenaded driving and taking the picture and making the food... hmm.. so there are no pictures of me up. This makes me feel so so super special!!! So i am gonna ADD ONE!! lol just because my face is so amazing... i don't know how it went so long with getting up !!! lol so here ya go!! Just cuz i feel left out... and hmm... didn't my apartment just have a lesson about not excluding people... geez.. they're so failing. lol




PEEK -A-BOO!!! lol. yeah.. so i'm sleepy and it is obvious. Lata!!!

Just Lots of Fun In-between

As I bet you guys all know by now if you know anything about any of us....WE ARE CRAZY!!!! Every second of the day one of us is laughing, and if it is Lindsey it has the same effect has an earthquake. Here are just some pictures letting you all know just how cool we are. 

Sarah one day was having a lot of problems, she came in at the end of the day and sighed heavily and flopped onto the coach. But she forgot the dangerous window ledge that is right behind the coach. She hit her head REALLY hard and we decided as roommates that to save Sarah's life we need to childproof our apartment. So we got a pool noodle, cut a slit into it and placed it right one the window sill. No more headaches for Sarah. 
Kimber earned a dollar from our football coach for intercepting a pass. I should have earned at least two since I almost caught three interceptions and I tackled a girl (we play flag football)
Our little Emily, the tube socks are a nice touch.
By the way for all you who don't recognize this girl...she is our roommate Emily. 
We don't see her much. 

Shop Till You Drop

This past week has been pretty crazy. All of us roommates finally got into the hang of things with homework and all, and weren't too stressed out. On Saturday Lindsey, Sarah, Kimber and I went to Idaho Falls to update a wardrobe that needed help since the eight grade (don't worry we fixed it) and we all got some really cute additions to our own. And once we found Starbucks, which in itself was a great adventure due to the fact that people who live in a city all their life still don't know where things are located, but we had some delicious drinks, don't worry coffee free mom and headed home. But there is where we let our hair down and had some fun in the car.
Kimber rocking out to some Secondhand Serenade.
YUMMMMM!!!!! 
 Very beautiful sunset in Rexburg.

Wild Weekend

This last weekend we as roommates had the time of our life. We went to the Dunes, danced the night away, made some scrumptious meals, had a girls-night-in and tried the entire time to stay up in the clouds. These are just a couple pictures documenting the amazing time we had together. But this is just the tip of the iceberg of all the fun we had. 

Already to go out to the Dunes and a dance party. We sure livened up that fiesta!

Sarah and I made some VERY delicious banana bread. With chocolate chips! We are just so proud of ourselves.

Jumping Beans...

Today Kassi and I went Cliff Jumping out in Ririe a town of about 500 people with our way fun friends Skyler, Clint, Jordan, McKay, Jake?, Annie, Alexa, Mary, and Hilary.  On the way out I rode in the back with Clint, Skyler, Jordan, and McKay and on the freeway we all laid down just in case and Clint held onto my arm because he was scared the back was gonna open and he'd fall out! :) But then we were having a good old time and Clint made up another song for me like he did last night about Kimber-doll.  We had to hike a tiny bit and got to a cliff about 30 feet high and everyone jumped off eventually-- Mary even jumped off her own cliff!  It was a blast, That is all.

Mmm...Breakfast!

So half of the roomies went for a run this morning and I felt like a fatty because rather than going running I stayed and made biscuits and gravy! Mmm Mmm good!  And well biscuits and gravy aren't the most slimming of foods but hey it's not like me or my roommates are way overweight.  But I guess I must be a pretty good cook because even though they weren't the best I've made Lindsey and Sarah thought they were SCRUMPTIOUS! Maybe they were just trying to make me feel good about them or something...I do not know!  Somedays I wonder about what they're telling me!  But good thing mom taught me how to cook!  Thank goodness it's saturday!!  That is all.

Evry1 <3's my Cookin!!



SO, i cooked tonight, and i made a teriyaki chicken ramen cabbage salad, which is SO SO good! And everyone here is like aw! you are such an amazing cook! it makes me feel so good! lol. So i made that dinner tonight, but i made more than i thought was going to be made,... i didn't know what the recipe really made, so a had lots of leftovers! So i ate until i was full and i still had stuff left! So i was like hey! you guys can eat some because i'm full and i can't save it because the ramen gets mooshy!! and so then all of my roommates came and swarmed my salad and ate it all!!! want proof?!?!
SEE!! All my salad. lol. Jessica is eating from my plate in front of her and kimber sarah and Kassi are eating from the bowl i mixed it in. lol. Silly silly roomates! Kimber is the only one actually eating, lol the others stopped when i took the picture and posed... lol. Oh oh!! and i made two binders that are really cute i think... and this blog page needs more pictures so i will show you!!
I like them :-) So alright! TTYL!! ;-)

everybody SQUEEZE!

Lindsey doesn't know how to do her math homework so she has to bring in Kimber (the one that actually knows how to do it), Sarah (she is just there because she has a beautiful face) and me (but I just lead everybody astray because I know nothing about math). 
Okay so we have a problem in this apartment. Our entire fridge and freezer is full. I mean every tiny corner has food in it. But right now our freezer is the worse. We can barely close the door and every time we open it there is the fear that all of it's contents are going to bury us. So from now on we are no longer to eat anything unless it comes out of the freezer.

My apartment hates me

So... i get back from Tonal harmony and i'm totally excited and happy because i finished a test thirty minutes before class ended so i got to leave early!! But i got back and I find out Jessica and Sarah have some secret they're keeping!!! So... NOBODY LIKES ME! Nobody... :-( it's truly sad. My apartment does not like me. Secrets... from me?! Ridiculous!!! So i was singing the song..."Nobody likes me everybody hates me, guess i'll go eat worms..." ...you know it... and jessica says Lindsey!! Can you please stop! I'm trying to do my homework!!! Nobody likes me!!! So i broke into the song again... but i stopped because my depression sunk in... it's sad. a beautiful day and it crashed and burned..PLUS i got two bloody noses... how insane and stupidly ridiculous!! UGH. oh well.. i hope today is better than yesterday when i was stressed out of my mind and on minimum sleep... i don't handle stress well when i'm tired... lol. But luckily sarah gets back and i said SARAH!! do you like me?! and she said yes!! and i said do ya love me?!! and she said YES!!! HA take that JESSICA!!! :-D yeah that's right ;-) They're just jealous of my mad skills. na, jessica said you're always doing homework!! OH MY BAD!! lol. not my fault a music major takes like your life!! :-) jk. But yeah things are going well!!!! :-) Thanks!!!
Oh. lol and p.s. I told jessica i was writing a blog about this and she was like Aw no lindsey! I love you! i was just kidding...!! lol Silly Jessica

And So the Exhaustion Begins...

Life sucks when you have to wake up when it's still pitch black outside...
But when you're teacher's a spunky little lady it helps you wake up because she's just so excited about life and it's kinda sorta contagious.  Then you sit in your humanities class and the teacher comes in speaking french and when he switches to English he tells you he's also the cities coroner so "Please don't commit suicide, I don't wanna have to walk in and think oh they were in my class this semester"  He works with college kids and dead people...crazy stuff!  So my teacher's are pretty interesting and freakin hilarious!  Having to wake up early is annoying, but it's hecka nice to get done with class before noon.  
Naps are the best! End of story.
So our FHE brothers gave me a new nickname to add to the many...they now call me Special K. After that happened me, Jessica, and Sarah we're walking down the street and there was a FAT beetle on the sidewalk like the size of an egg...no joke!  It started flying at us and they screamed, I ran, and a couple guys thought someone had jumped out and scared us...oh geeze!
The second day of classes didn't start off nearly as early which was AMAZING!  My Book of Mormon teacher smiles and threatens that liars go to hell if we don't answer when he asks people if they play piano or while our eyes are closed if we prayed that morning.  It's pretty intense...not gonna lie!  My psych class almost put me to sleep on the first day...not a good thing.  If it's that boring already I'm screwed!
HW is the worst! period.
Life as I know it is going to be exhausting already proven in the first day of classes.  That is all.

College!

(another pic from the first day!!)
Yes, so the first day of school was pretty cool!! (rhyming... hope you caught on...) We had lots of fun getting our homework done, I, for example, had over 2 hours of hw for only one of my classes, then i had bogus stuff for my others that wasn't even beneficial but just took up a bunch of valuable time. My Tonal Harmony hw was what took me the longest and was the only one that had any actual significance to what i am acutally going to be learning. I actually had to use my brain for that classes' homework. which is good!! I am here to get smarter!! lol. And a BIG thankyou to Jessica who made our blog mega mega cute!!! She is amazing and i am so glad we're roomies!!

Back to School!!!

The first day of school and we are so ready! Everything went super well and I think we all were pretty much weighed down with major amounts of homework and with textbooks that are 10x more expensive then need be.

Crazy Crazy Happenins!!!

Okay, so jessica and i just argued becuase she wasn't writing on our blog. So i threatened to kick her off. Is it too much to ask that all members of the blog participate equally?! No, i didn't think so. So anyways, i was like dude! Jessica!! Write on our blog!! and she was like i've been so stressed out lately! and i was like yeah right! like she hasn't been hanging out with us the entire day?!?! and with her friends?!?! yeah. That's right. Anyways, so i was persuasively talking to jessica about writing on the blog and she was like UGH fine! I'm gonna write on the blog! and i was like, you know what?! no, you don't get to because you are just writing it becuase i told you to!! and she was like yeah!! and so... i threatened to revoke her blog privelages if she wrote it and she was like okay fine do it!! So... i did :-) yeah, that showed her... but then i felt bad and allowed her to write one... i'm not happy i did that becuase she just called me a nazi. And even worse, her computer can talk so she had it read her little blog... and it said "Lindsey is a blog Nazi.."... yeah totally rude. I mean, all i wanted was for our blog to be the best blog on earth and she had to get all up in my grill and all spiteful about it!!! Geez Geez. So inconsiderate, she doesn't realize that her life would be empty and barren without this blog. Sigh. well, i think she might be writing one... wait no. she's "personalizing my signature"... yeah i see what's important.,.. it's all me me me, never seeing what she can do for the team. You get my predicament, but anyways... maybe she will write on our blog more often since i taught her a lesson.. hopefully she learned and she doesn't do it again.... This first time was just a mild warning.... Night!
Oh and P.S. college starts tomorrow and i am nervous.... oh well, that's life. I gotta just get it over with!! :-)
p.p.s- i do love jessica lol. even though she called me a nazi, it seems like i'm always the one that needs to be the bigger person...
Lindsey is a blog Nazi. 
True story

Blog Wars

It all started one calm sunday night...that wasn't so calm as it turns out.
If Lindsey realizes that I'm writing this blog she will revoke my blogging privileges as she thinks she has all power.  Due to her frustration with no one writing blogs she decided that she would beg Jessica to post a blog.  But as soon as Jessica decided that she would give in Lindsey suddenly threatened to revoke her blogging privileges.  As the bickering went back and forth Jessica threw a plastic cup at Lindsey's face but because Lindsey had traveled to China and learned Kung Fu she saw the cup coming before it ever left Jessica's hand.  Jessica soon realized that her attempts to join the wonderful world of blogging were futile.  And instead began to "personalize her signature."  Feeling as if my blogging life were at stake I decided to go undercover and write about the intensity of Lindsey's tyranny and Jessica's disrespect for Lindsey's blogging power.  I must end this in fear of losing my blogging privileges.  That is all.

Life back in Rexburg...

So we come back to the cold state of Idaho...
It started off with Lindsey and I meeting up in Utah and having a fun road trip up to the burg.  We got to our apartment and our newest roommate Sarah was nowhere to be found and we couldn't get ahold of her no matter how hard we tried.  After hours of unpacking and organizing we finally got ahold of her.  She had been in a cave fearing for her life because the guys that took her decided to use a $10 rope to climb out and well $10 doesn't really get you a good rope.
But since then we've been hanging out with Skyler.  He officially has a cup with his name on it in our cupboard.  He should really feel honored!
So the first 2 nights it was me, Lindsey, and Sarah the 3 musketeers.  And then Jessica showed up and we became the fantastic 4.  And now Kassi showed up and we're just waiting for Emily to get back tomorrow.  But it has been AMAZING!!  Tonight Sarah and I went to I-night together and we didn't really do much we saw a lot of people and sat in the cold to listen to Brandon Packer perform because he's freakin amazing singing and playing the guitar.  After freezing our butts of we came back to the apartment and we decided to entertain ourselves by watching You tube videos...what else are you supposed to do after curfew?! 
I don't have much to say anymore so I'm just gonna stop now...

Moving In!

Okay So, today is not very exciting, we haven't left the apartment once, but instead we have been unpacking and organizing! Very exciting, i know. The only ones that have arrived at our small abode are myself, Kimber, and Sarah (our new roommate). Sarah left this morning to go hang with a friend at an I-Lunch even though she didn't really want to. So Kimber and I were left alone unpacking. We were desperate for entertainment you see?! So while she was unpacking her winter items I decided to put on a little modelling show for her!
She laughed very much at this sight, i don't know why, i thought people usually gawked at a lovely sight such as this... lol. She soon joined in! and we were having fun and making it out of nothing :-) You know... very few poeple can make fun out of thin air...

Very much fun in Apartment #301!! ( Whoa, that totally rhymed and i didn't even try!!!)

Haha, but today was not all fun and games, we did need to get down to work and we had been previous to our show and we continued after. It seems that even though i work all hard trying to organize and clean my bedroom still looks horrible! AND we have been organizing the kitchen and the fridge... hard core workers here!! So my room is looking okay now... but there is still a lot of work that needs to be done, sadly, i am so sick of it! But i must have it exactly to my likings because i will be dwelling in it for four months you see?!

So this is my room. Half way through my organizing.It looks much better right now, but it still has a lot of work. Look at our mega sweet Heightened bed frames!! Right now, my closet is looking very nice!
Here are some other attached pictures so you can see our progress! We are hardworking women!!
Yes. So soon enough our apartment will be PERFECT!!! Until our other roommates come and make it messy and crowded! :-) We'll make it work though because our apartment is da bomb!! Later!
