Life is CRAZY!

Oh my goodness! This last month has just been crazy! For one, it flew by! Everyone told me the first 6 months of having a missionary out was the worst part, but if the rest of the 22 and 1/2 months go like this last one, I have nothing to worry about! At the same time though, there were certainly really difficult days... I loving having roommates that know exactly how I feel and are here to support me. Kaitlin's missionary has been out for a year this week! And Alli's missionary gets home in like 2 and 1/2... but.... she found someone else after her missionary 'dear Jane'd' her... sad. I decided I should just post my letters to Tanner on my blog since that's basically what's been going on in my life. Maybe I'll start doing that.

I've moved into my new apartment! I live in Ogden with 3 beautiful girls, Kaitlin, Alli, and Julianne (one of which has brought to my attention the struggles of having a roommate...I don't know if it's safe to complain about such things on my blog though, for fear of her finding out, even though my blog is locked. I guess we'll just see how long I can stand it). Anyways! Here are some pictures!

The family room :) Against the right wall there is now a big brown leather couch and the smaller chair is closer to the door. The small shelves are just moved over. Isn't it sooo cute?? It doesn't look like a college apartement at all! (And yes, we had to provide all the furniture)

This is the entertainment center you can't see in the other picture. I wish I could claim all the decorations as my own, but alas, there are all Alli's. She's going to be a great homemaker.

Again, all the decorations belong to Alli. Except the vase on the bookshelf! Mine!

To the right of the family room we have the kitchen... don't remember why I didn't take a picture, and south of that is the den. (they are kind of in the shape of a 7) This is just one corner of the den where I put my desk and shelves. Kiddycorner there is a wood burning fireplace, and directly across from my desk are sliding glass doors to the porch.

Julianne and I share this room. Notice the green curtains :) Our room coordinates!

This is my side of the room :)

Just a close up on my favorite pictures :) Tanner printed these off for me before he left.

I LOVE living in this apartment with my roommates! So far it has been great! (except for the issues with she who must not be named). School is going great! I absolutely love every single one of my interior design classes. There is a lot of work involved, a lot of projects and a lot of waking up early, but it's incredible! College life is great and I'm loving every minute :)
