freshman girls

had a few girls over last week for a freshman get together!

it's crazy, as i sent out the email there were like 8 girls i didn't send it to bc they're gone on missions and off to other places!

it really shocked me that i won't be seeing those girls for a very long time!

but the few that we did have was really fun!

we had yummy treats,

caught up on each other's lives,

and talked about jimmer and all that jazz.

i had such a great time with these girls,

and feel so lucky to be counted as one of their friends!

fyi for all your other girls we'll probably be having another one at the end march!

freshman girls

fact: byu freshman year = awesome
fact: i love all those girls with all my heart
fact: we have lots of fun together
fact: we had lots of fun together this last week (of the ones who got to come:)

we have a little tradition that every time we get together we go around the circle catching up on everyone's lives. there never ceases to be exciting things going on.

we also talk about hilarious memories from freshman year...oh the memories we have :)

 i can't believe so many of these cute girls are going on missions! i think 8 from our floor alone!

i'll miss them all so much but i know they're all going to be incredible.

so jealous of you girls!

we'll be setting up another one of these in january,

hope we can see the rest of you cute girls!

a plethora of friends

once of my absolute favorite parts about being back in utah is having a plethora of family and friends around! life is just better with people you know in it!

this last week was kind of a celebration of being back in provo with friends and family it seems.

get together with freshman girls

this was an absolute hoot! we got about 15-20 of the girls to come over to my place and we just sat around and talked, laughed, reminisced, and learned new stories from current and past years of everyone! i just love all these girls to death! i hope we can continue doing get togethers while we are all here at BYU!

i'm so dumb and didn't take any pictures! but here's some past ones of freshman year for a little bit of memory's sake :)

i know, this pic is not the most flattering of everyone nor does it include everyone but it does include many and watching the bachelor together was such a joy of freshman year!
