Chuck Norris throws happy meals at emo kids

A decision has been made! BYU Idaho (BYU-Ido/Bridaho) it is. It's official.

Over the weekend Erin, Sarah and I (Mar, Sar, and ER) went to the land of potatoes to see what there was to see. And let me tell ya, we were busy busy busy. We checked in at the AmericInn (clever, eh?),

jumped on the beds, slept, filled our stomachs, and began our journey around campus. 

We went on a tour of campus and almost had a "Torin" tour guide, but he decided to help another group instead. Lame. So we got our BYU Idaho shirt/scarf souvenirs and got a paper signed that excused us from school! Oh the joy of extracurricular college tours. So we walked around and admired all the Idaho Brides magazines.

Then Sarah and I hung out with my bruhda (ain't no biggie bruhda)

and went to Sammy's where I indulged in a cupcake milkshake! It was delicious with it's random cupcake chunk surprises throughout. 

And we got creeped on by some freak in a truck. Then we toured apartments.

Whew-ee. Eventually we found something with prime location and great amenities and stuffage. Here's a link if you want to stalk. One of the best parts: Free haircut every month. Or tanning...which Erin is for some reason obsessed with. I'll laugh and take pictures while she looks orange. Then we stuffed ourselves with pizza, played rock band, rode in the back of a truck (because it's legal in Idaho),

and went swimming while Erin and Sarah supervised me (since I'm super young and not 18 yet) while we all acted immature (just kidding...maybe).

So basically our buttons are busting because we can feel that freshman 15 coming. We so excited. We we we so excited. Here's a link if you don't know what I'm talking about.

 

 Oh, and we whipped our hair. 

 

P.S. Chuck Norris doesn't call the wrong number, you pick up the wrong phone.   

Honesty. Pass it on.

Love this.

Plethora

You know those shirts that you get as souvenirs, or from girls camp/EFY, or you collect over your high school years? Well I'm sure we all have a plethora of those shirts and we don't exactly know what to do with them. They either don't fit right or they are just plain weird but you hoard it for the memories. The time will come to retire some of our shirts once we graduate.Then we can give those shirts away but let's be honest, who would want them? So we keep them and use them as sleep shirts...or dust rags. Here are some of the shirts I've hoarded throughout high school. I'm sure many of you own most of them:

4 of these babies from tours and what-not

Family inside joke

Intermountain Health Care

Thou Shalt Not Judge

So one thing that really gets me and digs deep at my soul is when people judge. Who do you think you are?? You ain't my momma! You can't tell me how to live my life. I mean even though I know there are just people out there who put already repetitive songs on repeat and listen to it for half an hour straight during class for everyone to hear. That's fine, embrace it. I love having that song run through my mind for the next 48 hours. And yes there are some people who spend their time re-reading and re-reading wonderful, inspirational, immoral, gross, joyful, classic, Charles Dickens crap and stuff. Some people just like to dedicate their lives to those things. And those that stare out into space...in your direction...daily. But it's fine. It's not that creepy until they come take pictures of you through a window. But it's not like we're judging them or anything. 

(The phone's ringing. It's sarcasm calling.) 

I've Heard It Said

"I've heard it said
That people come into our lives for a reason
Bringing something we must learn
And we are led
To those who help us most to grow
If we let them
And we help them in return
Well, I don't know if I believe that's true
But I know I'm who I am today

Because I knew you"

Now this may seem cheesy or cliche but just embrace it because this doesn't happen very often on this bloggy blog. Basically most of us have heard this song before from Wicked but I love it because let's be honest, it's so true. People really do come into our loves for a reason and I'm so grateful that I have had the opportunity to meet all of you. Fo' real. So thanks friends! Thank you for always being there for me and always putting up with my sarcasm. You rock. Don't ever change. HAGS :)
