i didn't know monkeys did dishes...

yes.. I'm in college. and I still get answers like this on my statistics homework.

I have such strange professors.

heres a laugh.

world travelers.

sometimes we procrastinate our homework.

I've been gone for a while. Don't be worried.

Just a Saturday afternoon in the neighborhood

A beautiful view, watching boys play some football, and exercising my mind. I love where I live.

I'm engaged!

to my studies.

it is BYU after all.

i love it when...

I open my computer and I see this:

or facebook skype morphs moms face.

or when you have general conference this weekend and you get to go home.

I miss my family.

"college is when your friends become your family.. and your family becomes your friends."

i love my boys.

These guys are my favorite people.

cade and nate.

I'm really lucky to be their friend.

I really miss this guy.

and I really really miss this guy:

because he can't skype me.

but I'm telling him all about college.

and he is telling me all about that place down the road.

I get real excited when I get a letter,

I'm sure he would love it if you write.

college is a busy gig.

meet, Sadie.

It all started when we wore skirts to freedom academy.

Then we ate in the rain, met some boys and learned to love America.

It might have ended there... If we weren't starting this adventure of college together.

Sometimes we decorate our apartment. or sneak into clubs we aren't yet a part of.

or go boating with cute boys, or just be spontaneous.

thats us.

I asked her some questions:

1. What are you studying? neuroscience. just kidding everyone.. family and consumer science.

2. what is your favorite thing about kati?( guess who is writing the questions? ;) she taught me how to suck on a Q- tip and throw my contacts out the window. she's great.

(guess who didn't expect that answer?)

3. thing you are most looking forward to this fall? uhh probably football games. football games, football dinners.. i just can't wait.

4. if you could be one person for a day, who and why? I would be a school bus driver, because their seats have the biggest springs in the world. i mean.. when they go over bumps, they bounce so high! I would just greet everyone as they came on the bus.... (pondering.) but.. only for one day.

she is so great. we are going to have some crazy adventures.

welcome to the blog sade.

plants and cream.

once upon a time there was a college student. with a meal plan. she found out that the dining dollars reset and are useless at the end of the month (2 days.) this college student hurried over to the creamery and spent her money from two weeks, which added up to about 80 dollars on food items. she may have splurged on Nutella and mandarin oranges. I'm sure i wont get that opportunity too many more times.

also... I would really like a plant in my room. I need something living.. some foliage would really be nice.

I should probably go write my paper instead of blogging... yep. see ya.

a tour? oh, alright.

heritage halls. aka. party dorm.

we have already:

gone boating with boys we met the day before.

had movie night.

danced our hearts out.

talked outside until 2 am.. under cover from the rain.

played beach volleyball.

added over 35 new people to our list.

earned ourselves a spot in Yserve service club.

oh wow.

i love it here.

ohh college life.

hello everyone. I have been quite busy.

a few tidbits about my move into college:

1. I felt so young, and so old. all at one time. my insides had a hayday.

2. my dorm room is the best, and the cutest. pictures coming soon to a blog near you.

3.I already have a list a mile long of things I need to get when I get home.

4. my mom and dad love me. alot. I could tell by the tone of the.. "are you safe?" and "no need to check in!" texts that I received last night.

5. I love my parents. alot.

6. We are going to really enjoy basketball players this semester.

7. I made my own homemade tortillas.

8. Sadie and I have already had some adventures like.. running by the provo temple, playing volleyball, shower talk, robin hood episodes and more. we are going to go crazy together. (pictures of our adventures will surely become something you look forward to. I'll probably let you meet her soon too.)

9. There is already a 'Y not?' dance tonight. heritage halls in the house.

10. I DON'T HAVE INTERNET. my macbook air doesn't have an ethernet plug in. so as you can see, I am utilizing the library here:

due to lack of access to the world, I only wanted to share a bit. I'll be back once I get this problem cleared up.

go to college people. Its a blast.

Say whaa?

Hello world. I'm growing up.

puppies for sale.

not really. but these kind are my favorites:

word on the street is, my house might get a new one.

to replace me.

but if you ask me, who would want another gilly around?

not i.

clouds, beaches and golf. oh my.

I love summer and as school gets closer I am starting to enjoy it even more.

I suppose thats how it is with your family too, when you know someone is leaving,

you all the sudden get really close with them.

summer and I have a great relationship.

especially when you find friends like these ones:

who know where to find a beach in utah county, who knew right?

if you ask nicely, maybe we will take you there.

I plan on visiting a couple more times... it was that enjoyable.

This picture just had to be included. for two reasons,

#1. what if my hair was that short! weird.

#2. those clouds are like, awesome.

blue sky, another benefit of summertime.

Also, Jessie is a golf coach.

stalk her and ask for lessons, here.

what makes me happy today.

grapefruit juice. bright colors. church. jeans. TENNIS. zero, my new fish.

growing up. byu. mismatched socks. basil leaves. the spirit.

my planner. tate. movies from the 1970's. my dad. & my best friend.

oh. and the fact that I have 9 days left before I grow up.

oh wait... that scares me.

what a rush.

one time I got to wear the big headphones.

what a treat.

School and shopping.

They go in the same sentence. Always.


College.. It's looming. That means jump drives and thesaurus'. Oh and don't forget giftcards.


And some lunch.


And a quality shopping partner.
We are goobers. I'm not sure how I'm going to live without her by my side.
