The Burg

I recently realized that I only have 1 more month till and graduate and thus, leave Rexburg forever. It is definitely a bittersweet moment. On one hand no more wind (ok, I'll be fair, a lot less wind), no more undergrad, a lot less ice, salted roads, actual restaurants, family close by...but on the other hand I will miss many things about this great dreary place, life long friends, great teachers, the social work program, the activities program, Craigo's and I could go on... It's crazy how much I have learned and grown over these past 4 years. I have......

-lived in 4 different apartment complexes
-had 5 different bedrooms
-31 roommates (thanks to the track system :o)
-taken 49 classes
-127 credits

And who knows what else!! So I thought I would go for a little ride down memory lane....the easiest way to do that is through apartments...so...here I go!

First semester at college!! Fall 2005- Colonial House-601- Mican, me, Katie and Susie- We dressed up for a Halloween...don't ask me why I decided to be a painter!! I think it was the only thing I could find at DI...

Winter 2006- Colonial 404-Gloria, Ruby, Me, Dani, Amy, Jaime- We had a wide variety of ages this semester- 18, 19, 19, 20, 21, 22- it was fun- we definitely took a lot of pictures! One of my high lights was our Murder Mystery dinner unfortunately we had more girls than guys- so we had some cross dressing- but it was fun! I of course was innocent!!

Fall 2006- Birch 105- Emily, Megan, Aubrey, MacKenzie, me, Brittini. This picture was taken at the end of the semester. They put wrapping paper on the cupboards for Christmas- in the top right hand corner of the picture you can see the pictures we put on the wall from us stuffing our faces at wingers- what better kitchen decoration?

Fall 2006-Winter 2007- Birch 106 (105.5) My next door neighbors-Dani, Meredith, Megan, Me, Danielle and Melanie (Jaime isn't in this picture). Loved these girls! We had fun playing laughing, eating, having water fights (the after marks are shown on the 2nd picture), laughing eating, playing fugitive, laughing, eating, Mafia, laughing, eating, battleship, laughing, eating, hiking...

Winter 2007- Birch 105- Megan, me, Alyse, Emily, Carissa and Melanie. They wanted pictures for the ward "menu" - who wants the normal happy perfect apartment? I think we ended up with one where I was upside down on the couch...

2007-Royal Crest Apt 212- Aubrey, Me, Angie, Melanie, Carly and Britni. The first picture was taken out at Beaver Dick during FHE. The second was for the ward relay. We all dressed up in green and ran- it was fun!

Winter 2008- Royal Crest-Apt 212- Sadly enough I don't have pictures with all of the apartment, but this is with Kat and Stephanie- the 2 that moved in- When it was still quite cold outside we went and played basket ball at the hot springs- it got pretty intense! Way fun!!

Fall 2008- Pine View 8- Natalie, Carlee, Kyndra, me, Kiersten and Shalyn. This semester we started having theme nights-Thursdays-8 at 8 with Carmel (with apples, popcorn, pretzels etc...) Pumpkin (cake, bread, etc...) Crepes... We also took up Nertz, which gets pretty crazy with 20 people playing at once!!

My last semester!! Winter 2009- The pines (old Pine View) 8 -To bad we weren't all in this picture-Shalyn, Carlee, Jordan, me - Shannell and Natalie weren't there. We continued the 8 at 8 parties- but moved them to Wednesdays. So far we've had waffles (with strawberries, peaches, ice cream, whipped cream...), The one shown above was popcorn night (Carmel, white chocolate, jello, buttered and plain) and Green in honor of St. Patties day (green carmel popcorn, jello, broccoli, green peppers, celery, zucchini bread). The parties have been fun! Before I go we are having a Peace Out Rexburg par-tay!!
