Meet my roommates!

We went exploring last Sunday after church and found a place outside of Rexburg called Beaver Dick Park. So this Sunday we got all dolled up and had a photo shoot. If we were thinking straightly, we would have done this later in the semester when, ya know, we all knew each other and were friends ;)

Meigan Chojnacki (got married Feb 2015!), Sarah Valencia, me, Amandee Brown, Kelly Erekson, Sammy Ross

(This face accurately describes my mood during the whole thing. 8:20 am church, then photo shoot. Wish I could've been as cheery as I was when we started..)

(Spoiler alert, these girls turn out to be my best friends!)

First day of college..

Well today was quite the day.

Woke up, pretty scared really. I was a hardcore freshman: following a map, wandering aimlessly, asking Chinese people for help. I had 4 classes: computer programming, tap dance, English, and accounting. Busy, l o n g day. I was happy to come home and take a nap!

That's when my roommate got back and walked in saying, "Are you seriously in bed?" Ouch. First day and that was sure a dagger to the heart! Hard day.

At least someone else knew how I felt, my other freshman roommate Kelly.

I know it will get better. I mean, It's only the first day of school. It's been a bad day, so it can only go uphill from here!

Here's to a wonderful semester ahead..

Goodbye..

Today I left for college. It was the weirdest day of my life. Mom and dad got me all moved in and I was holding back tears the whole time. I just felt numb.

I remember finally saying goodbye, hugging, taking pictures, then going to my room and sitting on my bed. I peeked out the window as the tears ran down my face.
(I mean, look at me. Do I look happy??)



After laying on my bed crying for a few minutes, mom called and asked if I needed any groceries. So she came back and we went to the store. Trying to act strong, like this wasn't phasing me.

Then she said bye again, and the pain came all over again. But they were gone for real now.

My family was only an hour away, my brother lived a mile away, but my heart was in so much pain.

I had one other freshman roommate, and we were the ones in our rooms, under the covers, crying. haha
