best friends :)

I came across this picture today, and I literally laughed out loud. It was taken at Cristine's house this summer.  It perfectly describes our friendship... lots of fun, jokes, laughter, and looking awkward in pictures.

I love Ashley's explanation of this picture best... "Karee blamed Cris for pinching her, Cris had no idea what she was talking about...I'm loving the fact that I didn't get caught and Sadie is laughing at Karee for freaking out."

We've been best friends for a long time now, since birth for some of us. It's been hard to get together lately since we've all "grown up" and moved to different places-Rexburg, Provo, Logan, Sandy- but every time we get to have a girls' weekend, it's just like nothing has changed. I love laughing with Keisha until I cry, all the little jokes Ashley pulls, eating Cris's delicious food, scolding Joelle for being too loud all the time, talking about my favorite books or BYU football with Kalli, and correcting Sadie when she sings the lyrics for EVERY song wrong. I'm glad to have 6 best friends/sisters to even out having 6 brothers. I love you girls! 

tossing and turning

Lately, I open my eyes after a mere 5 hours of sleep to this...

Why is my bed in shambles? Why am I only sleeping about 5 hours a night?

the MARB

The Thomas L. Martin building aka the MARB aka the building on campus that ALWAYS confuses me. 

No matter how many classes I have in it or how many times I've been in there, I always seem to walk into the wrong classroom. The building is basically a square, and there are 2 identical staircases leading to the upper floors inside. I try to keep it simple so I always walk in the northern doors, go up the stairs on the left, and go into the classroom on the left. Remembering the room number would also be helpful, but I thought turning left twice just seemed easier.

Well, it turns out that turning left twice isn't easier. I've been distracted a few times while entering the building, turned right and then left, gone into the wrong classroom, climbed over a few people to get into the only seat left, pulled out my notebook, and then after the teacher entered the room, realized I was in the wrong room. So I have to pack up all my stuff, climb back over 5 people to get to the aisle, and walk out embarrassed. 

Today, I tried a different tactic. I faked a phone call. It worked pretty well actually. Luckily, I noticed I was in the wrong room a minute before class started, so everyone was still talking. I grabbed my phone, acted like someone needed my help in an emergency, and walked out of the room. The only person to realize I was in the wrong room was the girl next to me.  Why you ask?  Because I asked her about the quiz we were having today on casket sprays while sitting in a physics class.
