Alright...

So... you wanted pictures. Paul & Jeanne have seen this and heard about it over Thanksgiving. But over the summer Troy went to Europe for what sounds like forever... I don't know where this pic was taken. He also didn't shave, all summer. He'd be excited to know that you all get to see him with his amazing beard.

Here is another pretty awesome pic of Troy... at the BYU/Utah game. And here is a picture of us together. Christie took this like 2 seconds before Troy left to go home for Christmas. Maybe after break we'll take a better one... when neither one of us is tired.

And because mom asked in a comment on a post that I deleted, he's from Salem, Oregon.

I'll Have You Know...

I'm supposed to be over at the HBLL (Harold B. Lee Library) aka... my new best friend right now. I should be studying for my last final, which I will be taking in a few hours. HOWEVER... The biggest shock of my life came as I checked blogs (which I do every morning before I leave...): Bryan has a blog, Traci put up tons of pictures, and Janyse posted pictures of Otter. I was shocked at the amount of activity among our blogs, and I was persuaded to blog myself.

Last night was our apartment's "Girls Night In". It's a big deal, we kick out everyone that does not pay to live in our apartment, and lock ourselves in. We ordered pizza from Tomassitos and ate a ton of other food. We had our White Elephant gift exchange. The gift I got was amazing... it was the Winter 2008 Bridal Guide, a bouquet of fake white roses, a ring pop, and one of those wedding cake candles. We all laughed really hard and started looking through the Bridal Guide. Wow. I really wanted to get he Troy Bolton poster, but Kelli ended up with it- I might end up going back to Walmart to get the High School Musical one... it was just that amazing! Also at girls night in, we always do some crazy activity. This month, our activity was shaving our legs with Whipped Cream instead of shaving cream. Christie had been wondering for a while if it would work, and well... it does. My only problem was that I hadn't been shaving for like 2 weeks to get ready for this activity, so... my razor kept getting clogged, oh well. But our legs were a little smoother than normal, so no complaints. Oh, and... we smelled like vanilla after. The one problem was that it was a litle sticky.

I really need to stop blogging right now so I can go take my last final and get ready to party. It's going to be pretty crazy here for the next few days, I'll try to get some pictures of the festivities to put up for you all.

Bry- welcome to the wonderful world of blogging. =)

Roommates = LOVE!

For my birthday, I got a picture frame that says "You Are Loved" because our apartment's theme song is that Josh Groban song. Well, and we all just love each other. On the frame was a sticky note that said "insert picture of us here". Well, a month later, we still hadn't taken a picture to go in it. So, today, we fixed that. It's Kelli's birthday, so we went to Olive Garden for lunch. By Olive Garden there is this big bridge. Behind the big bridge is the bridge that we took pictures at. By the little bridge is a beauty school, and in their 'backyard' they had a gazebo. We've got pictures there too. Soooo... here are my super cute roommates and me. These are my favorites of all the pictures: L-R: Sarah, Jenny, Allison, Anna (our 7th roommate), Kelli, ME, Christie
back: Christie, Jenny, Me, Allison front: Kelli, Sarah
We love the gazebo! Christie, Marci, Anna, Kelli, Allison, Jenny, Sarah
The six of us girls! We love this picture! I was a little lazy and didn't want to walk in the snow to get inside the gazebo with them... so I just jumped onto the railing.

Now you all can see the girls. Now that we've taken these pictures, maybe I'll get some pictures of Troy so you all can see a better picture of him.

Christmas from the Home Teachers

Sarah and I have the cutest home teachers! They are amazing, come every month, and don't wait til the end of the month either. I came home the other night, and there was a cake on our table that said "Merry Christmas" in gummy bears on the top. This note was next to it. I had to put it up here, just to show you how amazing they are. PLUS, I wanted to test the scanner on my new printer! Hopefully this works well!

My 100th Post!

I used to think about how cool it would be to post my 100th post, but now, as I sit here in the HBLL, waiting for my ASL class to start, I'm realizing that my 100th post is going to be lame. Sorry to disappoint.

I still don't have pictures to put up here... once again, sorry to disappoint you. Within the next week I should have pictures, although they probably won't be posted until after finals. That's right... it's almost finals time! My first final is tomorrow, my ASL final, and the rest of my finals are next week. I was really stressed about them before, but now not so much...

Last night, Chris, Kelli, Troy & I made dinner together. There were flames (we'll see if we let Chris cook in our kitchen ever again) and we almost died ( of laughter, not because of the flames...). It was a nice break from studying for all of us...

I don't really know what else to say. Ummmm, I'll blog again when I've got pictures and something to say!

SNOW!

It snowed last night/this morning. It's still snowing slightly. When I woke up at 10:30, Kelli & I went outside to play in the first GOOD snowfall of the year. We threw snow at each other, and at our kitchen. Then we decided to go through snow at Chris & Troy's window. How convenient that our boyfriends are roommates. Oh yeah, I have a boyfriend... and don't worry, he's not an RM.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Well folks, it's the Sunday after Thanksgiving. Here I am, at Seatac, waiting for a flight to take off. After I sat down, my friend Jordan (from my byu ward) walked up to me and sat down. We're on the same flight home! Theeeen... Jessica Ranck & her brother Brenton walked by and sat down near me too. THere are like 20 gajillion other people around us that are from BYU, it's pretty much a BYU part at gate B10. This should be a lovely wait, as I drink my Coke and eat my Almond Roca (YUUUUM!).

I had a most excellent Thanksgiving at Paul & Jeanne's. I ate a lot of food, and it all tasted soooo good! The kids were adorable! I got to see Bryan twice. And I stayed up with Paul & Jeanne often. We saw The Bee Movie (hilarious!!!), I went to the U-District with some friends, we attempted to attack raccoons, and went in the hottub. Jen took me out to dinner last night, and came over and played games with us. Paul drove me past the house, it was weird.

It was a fantastic trip, I enjoyed being home again.

And to think, in a month, I'll be chillin in a different airport, headed somewhere else, to another one of my three homes!

My Birthday!

Here are some pics from last Sunday (aka... my birthday) At midnight, the roommates bursted into my room to sing to me, then they proceeded to jump onto my bed where we all posed for the camera. I really like that Sarah took it in black & white!
The whole family at dinner... well, except that Sarah was taking the picutre. She basically was the official photographer, she captured alot of good things. We're such a fun family! Garsh! We had lasagna, garlic bread, cesear salad, and ummmm, fruit salad!
We had two cakes, one that Troy made and one that Jenny made. The above pic is me smashing my face into my large slice of Troy's cake. Yep... I may have turned 19, but I didn't act like it!
I can't figure out how to make this picture turn, so you can turn your head to check this one out.... This was Jenny's cake. An amazing chocolate cake with a melted Symphony bar on top. I'm pretending to blow the candles out, since we can't light candles in the dorms. It was fantastic.

It was a good day, I was pretty excited. I got some way cool things from my FHE bros... some VHS's from DI.. The Backstreet Boys & Bob the Builder. And... some way cool children's books. Gosh I love those boys! The girls got me a picture frame that was engraved with "You Are Loved" referring to the Josh Groban song, which just happens to be our apartment's theme song. And they bought me fudge. I basically love them to death!

Happy Birthday to ME!

Corn

I used to eat a box of Pasta Roni every day. I haven't eaten that much Pasta Roni this week. I have moved onto canned corn. This is one of my favorite things to eat. My roommates make fun of me when I plug in the can opener and grab some corn, and then as I proceed to eat straight out of the can they make fun of me some more. It's great.

This is the can I ate today. It was pretty much amazing.

Halloween... 215 style

Regular readers of my blog may recall my cry for help from September. Pranks were needed. Well, tonight, our master prank was executed, absolutely incredible. We called ourselves Newspaper Ninjas. The prank... newspapering the hallway of the boys in 205, aka... the other half of The Clark Family.

We each chose war poses. Randomly throughout the night someone would yell "POSE" and you'd drop your newspaper to do your pose. This was our practice shot. We had to pick our pose before we got there. Left to Right we've got Christie, Anna (our 7th roommate), Me, Kelli. Jenny was our lookout, she was in a prom dress and she took the picture. Allison was gone with her Uncle, and Sarah... just wasn't home.

We waited near some bushes until we got the okay phone call from Nickolai, who checked out 205 to make sure nobody was home. While we waited, we took some pretty sweet shots, of us pretending to pull an Ocean's 11. We basically looked hecka tight. Unfortunately, Brendan, our accomplice, did not do a very good job at being our accomplice. Chris came in while we were newspapering the hallway. However, he was amused more than anything, and we convinced him to take some pictures of us. Here we are, halfway between the last two doors, so more than halfway done. Yeah, this took 1 1/2 hours to do, holy cow!We needed a picture of the end product. Here is Kelli, our head newspaper gatherer, with the lovely stacks. You can tell, it's just about as tall as her in tha tpart. Other parts of the hallway were filled even higher.

We were almost finished when one of the boys called to tell me he was on his way home, I kindly asked him to come over to our place because I wanted to talk to him... so I left the scene of the crime and went to hold him hostage. As soon as the girls finished they came back, and we all left together for the "crazy" dance party happening in our boys lobby. As we walked past the back door, we saw another one of the boys going in... We were very lucky, we barely made it.

In conclusion, we had a VERY Happy Halloween. We're kind of afraid of what they might do back to us, it could turn out very... not good. But hey, we started this war knowing that they would get us back!
