Sexy Rexy

Now I'm back in good ol' Rexburg and hopefully here to stay year round :) So far I am loving it. I simply adore my new roommates, I love my apartment, and I'm really enjoying my classes for the most part. It is a bit of a bummer that all of my friends from previous semesters aren't here (with the exception of a few here and there), so I'm starting fresh with friends. It's a good thing my roommates, Morgan and Chloe, have a plethora of them since they were here fall semester ;) So here's the run down:

Here's my room. Definitely a step up from Carriage House apartments down the street haha. Syd and I got a little creative with our pictures, jewelry, and thumbtacks.

Here's our living room wall. As you can see, pictures are a reoccurring theme in our apartment ;)

Here's the kitchen. (Thank you Willow's website)

Here's my roommates (minus Holly who was most likely at Cole's). Right to left is Chloe, Sydney, Morgan, moi, and Natalie.

Here's the Willow's workout room. Sure, maybe we have only used it once, but it was the hardest workout of my life when we did. One night me and Sydney decided to run on the ellipticals for a nice, easy going work out. Once we finished (already heaving might I add) a lady showed up to do her glut & thigh class. Since me and Syd were the only ones there we thought it would be polite to stay. We had no idea how rigorous or how long this workout class was going to be, but we did it anyways. Forty-five {very rigorous} minutes later I was on the verge of collapsing. I figured that workout counted for like ten... so there's my reasoning for only visiting once haha.

Here's our outfits for the white out party. We earned the title as "the sorority girls" that night.

Here's some of our new Tinder friends. They have a band called The Doppelgang. They've won battle of the bands and they also play every Sunday at the nearby nursing home. Pretty neat. They invited us over for a pancake dinner the first time we met up-- it was delicious.

Here's my grades.. so far. I just had to document this before they {quite likely} change.

Here's a couple of Chloe and Morgan's closest friends. We threw a surprise party for Chloe at a nearby hotel. Chloe's mom rented out a room for us to surprise her in that night. After all the celebration, us girls went swimming/hot tubing  in the hotel pool for a couple hours. It was oh so fun.

Here's the black ice ice-skating crew. Me and Morgan probably tied for hardest falls. The bumps and bruises were so worth it though.

Here's our post ice-skating hot tub picture.

Here's the ice castles. Me and my roomies took a Utah trip this past weekend, and this was definitely a highlight of it. I wasn't the smartest wearing moccasins without socks-- we did have to trudge through some snow. I ended up putting my gloves on my toes because I was scared of getting frostbite. It wasn't long until I literally had no feeling in my toes or feet. Once I got to that point my sweet roommates piggy-backed me over all the snow. They're the best. The ice castles were way cool and provided many photo opportunities ;)

In my pale defense, I was the only one who
didn't get spray tanned that morning haha.

Here's me reuniting with some of my BYU friends. I made sure to spend one of the nights in Provo while I was in Utah. As soon as I got there, Hailey had a bunch of her friends over for a game night and pizza. I love me those game nights :)

Notice I'm now wearing socks with my mocks ;)

Here's my poor roommate Morgan last night. She was not feeling good at all. Seriously she couldn't leave the bathroom. Some of our friends came over and gave her a blessing which was way nice of them. As sad as it was, I just couldn't pass up taking a picture.

And that is college in a nutshell-- so far. I know that there are many more pictures, stories, and memories to come and I can't wait.

Quick missionary update: Brad has officially hit his YEAR mark! As for the rest of the boys, they're doing just fine.
