Roommate Thanksgiving Dinner

Yesterday we had an amazing thanksgiving dinner as an apartment. Complete with turkey, stuffing, orange jello, broccoli, rolls, potatoes and gravy, sparkling cider and of course pie. We each took something to make that way it would be even. It was so fun and we all out. Camille and I went to the DI to buy goblets for the cider and we decorated the counter all cute and festive. It was so fun and so delicious. I made Christina's famous peanut butter pie and it turned out AMAZING! Now I just can't wait to go home and spend thanksgiving with my wonderful family! Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

Yes mom, I know you are proud.

Halloween is approaching :)

I have never really been a Halloween lover. At college though, everyone goes insane and seems to all be in love with it. So why not just jump in with everyone else??
At our apartment, the owner ladies are having a contest to see which apartment can have the most creative, most creepy or most festive decorated windows for halloween. Camille and I feel that ours is the best so far! Don't our monsters look super cute?? And it says "Monster Love" and we hope to also decorate our door like candy corn.

Our ward also had a halloween party on monday where you FHE group had to dress up as super heroes. Our group decided to be Captain Planet and his elements. It was so fun because our FHE group was the only one that actually coordinated together! (Only because I am FHE mom...haha just kidding)

Camille and I decided to be Lightning and Thunder. We definitely made a "storm" at this party!

It was lots of fun and I am so glad that our FHE group is getting a lot better!

Well life is super good! It was great to come up this last weekend and spend time with everyone in Utah. I wish that I could have seen the hunters but I'm sure they were having the time of their lives like they always do...WITHOUT ME! But that's ok. College is THE BEST! :)

Fun in the garden

So before it started to be freezing cold and snowing all of the time, Camille and I would enjoy walks in the BYU-Idaho garden. It is such a peaceful and beautiful place to walk through. It is right in the middle of campus so it's hard not to go through it on our way home or to class. As you can see we love the statues as well...

Roommates :)

Left to right: Tiffany, Aubrey, Camille, Angela, Me and Lindsey

I figured that you should meet my roommates since I talk about them and no one knows who I am talking about. So here are some pictures. We had to take one for our ward directory and decided to be silly while we were at it.

Party every day!

So first off, Camille and I decided that we should tryout for the competitive volleyball teams here. There are ten teams and they all play against each other. It is kind of like being on a high school team. Tryouts were three days long (thursday, friday and saturday). Then, the ten coaches do a "draft" of all of the girls. They figured that 120 girls tried out and that they would draft no more then 100. After a long wait, Camille, my roommate Lindsey and I got a call Monday night from our coach! All three of us made the same team!!! What are the odds of that??? It was a very exciting moment here in apartment #211. We will have practices every Tuesday and Thursday and games on Fridays or Saturdays. I am so happy that I made it!

Our weekend was super great! Ashley and her roommate invited Camille and I to go bowling with them. Though, we had to dress up. Of course we couldn't resist! It was so much fun!!! 

Life is just so great here at good ol' BYU-Idaho. I am getting super good grades on my assignments and papers. My first exam is coming up this weekend. I am a bit nervous but I will for sure try my hardest. I love life and life loves me! Thank you and goodnight!

Me, Ashley Bingham, Ashley's roommate Chelsey and Camille going bowling!!

Meet Camille the pink nun and Cindy the magnificent painter!

Yes. I know I look good when I bowl. It's a Pearson thing.

Taking a sunday nap with my favorite snack.

So I was just about to get into my bed, then suddenly, I stepped on something sharp and literally collapsed to the ground!
Camille was laughing so hard that she had to take a picture. I just laid their like a slug.....
