Saying Goodbyes
-My Grandma took me to a really nice dinner place called Log Haven in Salt Lake. T'was a lovely experience. I ate a buffalo! A real buffalo!
-Marcy came to say goodbye before I officially moved out of course. It was bitter sweet, but went much smoother than the year before, when she basically had to pack everything for me. She's a gem.
-Before my parents dropped me off we stopped at the Brigham City Temple. It was so beautiful, and it was cool to look at the outside with my parents. It started raining right as we left.
Beginnings:
-Kiana, Myka, and Tess on the bunk beds at camp: We actually made it a triple-decker bed but nobody slept on the top bunk because it was too close to the ceiling. It was fun though :) XC camp was fun, and a much different experience from last year. I missed all the boys my age that were on missions, but it was fun to know most of the team, and the freshman soon became good friends with everyone. I got really sick during camp, and made frequent trips to the bathroom, but we had great times nonetheless. The highlights for me were catching up with an old friend from high school, having the coolest 'pack' ever (shout out to my peeps Bills, Nikki, T-Rob, and Alex), the skits (they were sooooooooo great. I wish I had filmed all of them but I didn't. If I ever get my hands on that stuff I'll be sure to share because it is so hilarious. Every time I think about them I can't help but chuckle.) the scavenger hunt, and of course the food. Good times. I'm sad I won't be returning for another year of Aggie cross country.
-Farmers Market with Myka and Alex: Such a fun adventure! I'd never been to a farmer's market before but I loved it! Defs be goin to those more often. Logan is such a great place to be.
-Temple Dedication: Bre and I are temple buddies so naturally we went to the Brigham City open house together. It was so cool to go inside. What a beautiful building! I felt like an idiot walking around in those heels, but ya'll should be proud of me.#wearegoingtheresomeday #justnottogether;)
September:
-Peach Days in Brigham City: We got to see cool vendors, I bought a little dream catcher, we ate fantastically delicious peach shakes from the cute diner Peach City, Anni spent quality time with Timmy boy, the rest of us roommates met said Timmy boy... we'll just leave it at that ;)
-Our team laying sod for our new course, drum roll please... "Innovation Wellness Course" pretty great name, dontcha think? We had our Aggie Invitational there and it was awful but always an adventure. We did lots of cross country workouts there and I grew to like it more and more. They're putting a lot of work into it though, and it's actually gonna be a pretty neat place in a few years.
-Bonding time on the bus to and from Bozeman Invitational: I love my team. Us sophomores especially have become the best of friends and I'm going to miss it next semester when we're not together anymore. We played MASH on the way home and had a great dance party.
- Two of my amazing roommates, Whitney and Tracey, ran a marathon! We all went to Pizza Pie Cafe to celebrate. Tracey did this insane healthy diet before her race where she wouldn't eat anything store-bought that had 5 or more ingredients! She is pictured in the top center eating her first piece of dessert pizza. What a joyous moment that was! Us with our great neighbors are in the bottom center pic.
-[Top left] My other amazing roommate Jessica is going to be the most phenomenal teacher. Basically she'll be a TLC/home ec teacher and she's gonna rock it! We went to her recycle fashion show, where she showed off an adorable dress she created!
-[Bottom Left] a bunch of Timp alumni after the USU-BYU soccer game in Logan. from the left: Me, Nimmer, JaNae, Gel, and Marissa. Unfortunately Lex wasn't in the pic :(
-Odd drawing= notes in physiology. My drawing of a blastula reminded me of a raccoon mask, so naturally I had to elaborate and give him a sidekick.
-[Top right] our cool friend Rocha visits us :) she's the best because she brought us a giant poster of shirtless beautiful Abercrombie Models that is now our wall decor. She serenades me as the sun sets with my ukulele that she plays beautifully. She's great and has a fantastic laugh.
-[Bottom Right] Jessica (red hair) and Trista (striped pants) had a little cooking accident that involved the wrong burner, a plastic bowl of pancake batter, and a mess. Good times.
Starting Top Left going clockwise:
-I played with mud at a meet and vandalized the park. It says "EMBRACE YOUR WILD SIDE" I'm rather fond of that saying. I like mud.
-Anni and me after the chalk dance. Notice the awkward spots of sweaty chalk.
-Modeling my teammate Ruth's knitting skills. Rockin them knitted shorts.
-Tracey (aka Big Mamma T) after the chalk dance
-Anni and me after a race at a celebratory feast of crepes and nutella
-Anni sleeping during one of our study sessions at Lundstrom Park. It's a great place to be.

-Me, Lauren (roommates cousin), Tracey, and Whitney at a corn maze after a terrifying haunted river walk.
-Destruction on the third floor of the BNR thanks to ANNIfreakinLINA andersen's childish behaviors. That's a dent from my longboard. My longboard also has a dent from the door.
-Going down a tube slide at the corn maze.
-Going shooting with this one really cool kid
-That cool kid shooting
-Anni doing her homework on my bed. #wearesoproductiveitisinsane
-Me shooting a gun for the first time in my life!! So much fun. Even though I'm completely hopeless and have terrible aim. We drew pictures of things and shot them along with shooting other cool stuff like water bottles and clay pigeons.I drew a picture of me running and of bambi and his mother. The picture of Bambi is proudly hanging in our living room. I learned several things from this occasion: 1.) People don't trust me in the slightest when I'm around guns. 2.) I can't shoot with my left eye closed 3.) "...well I hate microscopes..." 4.) I'm terribly awful at shooting. 5.) I really like that cool kid 6.) It's fun to shoot guns 7.) I can't use that difficult contraption to throw the pigeons for the life of me. 8.) Anni is such a babe!!
-Anni shootin them guns like it's nothin.
#weareaprettygoodteam,dontchathink??
-I learned how to waterfall braid. My roommates have gorgeous hairs.
-I cooked fish for the first time. I usually hate fish, but my grandma gave me a bunch, so I might as well eat it, right? RIGHT! More power to ya. Literally. Fish is proven to be healthy. So I cooked it and ate it, and realized I had a cool piece that looked exactly like a swan! I had a hard time eating that particular piece, but once it was doused with catsup, I figured it looked like a dead swan, and therefore I could eat it.
-Hannah Berlin and me with some natural curls after a rainy evening in Orem
-My violin performance major roommate TRISTA enlightening us with her breathtaking skills and nimble fingers. I learned how to play twinkle twinkle little star that night. I'm practically pro now.
-Jess, Trista, and me about to slumber in our awesome fort made of blankets. My first time watching Miss Congeniality. Who loves Saundra Bullock? I love Saundra Bullock!
- Trista, Austin, Jess, Rex, and me at Temple Square
- Julie and her chum at the NCAA elite 8 women's soccer game supporting Nimmer. I'm bummed I didn't make a cool shirt!
- Anni and me doing what we do best. It's our thing. Feel free to be extremely jealous right now.
- Jess, Me, Trista, and Rex inside Anthropologie with a totally non-cuddable polar bear.
- Salt Lake City Temple. LOVE.
- Captain John Smith <3
- "Cute shoes!" "Oh thanks, I got them at Anthropologie" "They sell shoes there!?" "Yeah, right next to the accessories" OH MY HECK IT IS A REAL PLACE!!!!!! And that picture people, was on the first try. LAAAAAAAAAAAAVE IT!! #ihaveshe'sthemancompletelymemorized
And that about wraps it up from the contents of my camera.
It's been an interesting semester, and I'm looking forward to what SPRING 2013 will bring.
But I'll enjoy Christmas Break now.
