First Week of School!!!

So yeah first week of school what's up with that? I will tell you what is up people. I LOVE this year. My roommates are so great. I have five other people in my apartment beside myself. List time!

Hannah Fjord: She is from Texas but she doesn't really have that much of a southern "drawl" she does however say y'all a lot. She has short brown hair and was sort of prickly at first but once you get to know her she is really sweet and a lot of fun. Plus she always invites football players over because her older brother is on the football team ;) BONUS!!

Chandler Herold: She is from San Diego. She is really easy going and just as easy to talk to. She has long straight blonde hair. (classic cali girl, sooo lucky) she is really fun to hang out with. And pretty dang good at beach volleyball too! (Beach volleyball is serious business folks)

Holly Hillstead: Holly is actually my cousin and my roommate and we are best friends so we are always cracking up about something. She is always ready for an adventure (unless it's after 10:00 we get tired). She is not shy at all and is always 100% herself no matter who she is around. We have the best adventures like trying to find her friend boy's cabin in the wilderness in Cedar. Finding  a bunch of trailers instead of the cabin. Staying up late (so like before 10:00 haha), swapping hilarious stories, and not making waffles because we don't have a waffle iron yet.

Krisha Montgomery: She is really nice and has the most long, luscious, shiny, beautiful, thick hair I have ever seen in my life! She has way cute clothes and laughs at my jokes so in my book that's a total plus lol. She is gone a lot so we don't get to talk very often but she is pretty rad from what I do know of her.

Marissa Robbins: She plays on the SUU girls basketball team! How cool is that?? She is pretty shy and quiet but once you get her talking she is hilarious. Her friend boy off the football team named Gordon is over at our house with her a lot too. He is really funny. I like them both a lot. She makes really good fajitas too!

Those are all my roommates. They are great. We take turns making dinner. So everyone gets some food. Sometimes we even feed the man cave! (the man cave is the boys apartment. They include our friends Brian, Connor, Landon, and Gavin.) They are fun. They taught me how to throw a rugby ball. They play beach volleyball with us. They come hot tubbing with us sometimes. Sometimes the night watch people come hot tubbing with us too. We are really good friends with the night watch guys needless to say. However they do not have tasers. I asked lol. Also sometimes when you are playing in the parking lot you meet REALLY cute guys. And the best news is....no snow yet!!!!! Life is great :)

Books

I love summer because I get to read books just for fun! Not for a college class or assignment where I have to over-analyze everything and don't get to just enjoy the story. That's garbage. I just read a new book that I got yesterday (yes I read all 359 pages in a day and a half don't judge!) but it is a book that has really made me think about the future. Like my family and my future kids and husband. What is it going to be like? Will I say and do the right things? I mean I do not want to be a perfectionist robot but I want to make sure my family has values and that they understand the importance of the values I teach them. I know that I will make mistakes and that they will too, because that is just what happens, but I want them to understand that just because that's who you were yesterday doesn't mean that's who you have to be today. So often I just feel stuck when I make mistakes like there is no coming back from them. I was having a deep discussion about this with one of my best friends and she was like "I feel like I used to be such a good girl and that things would never come to this. But now that I am fixing everything and everything has been forgiven the only person that still judges me is myself. I have to keep reminding myself I am still a good girl whether I make mistakes or not." Mistakes don't change who we truly are they are just a quick detour on the road. Some people just never make it back on the road. And it's thoughts like these that help me to feel better because I really want my kids to be able to look up to me and be able to count on me in the future.
