This is my beautiful room. My haven, my home away from home. It's small but really comfortable, and my roommate's hilarious. her name is Maura Millard and she refused to comment or be photographed on the basis that she was not showered, more to come in the future...

The Real Deal Meal

The Genius at work

The masterpiece

Thumbs up from Mary

Brooke is also very happy

Holly is EXTREMELY happy

My dear, sweet, amazing friend struck a bargain with me. If I drove her to Walmart a couple times, then she would cook for me on Sunday. Well, I must say that I could die happily right now. She made the most amazing enchiladas that were so quick but so beautiful that not even angels could be compared to them! Just a warning though, the side-effect of this exaggeration could be from the fact that I have been living off of crackers with cheese and salad for the last three weeks. Let's just say, it is possible to loose weight on crackers and cheese...

The best thing about college... drinking straight out of the carton!

Me and my chocolate milk

That's right, straight from the carton

I needed to treat myself. So when my friends Brooke and Mary asked me to take them to the grocery store (in return I get a home cooked meal!!!) I bought myself a carton of chocolate milk!!! I was so excited. But because of my college-given laziness, i wasn't willing to get a perfectly clean cup dirty just so i would have to clean it again. So the genius thought occurred to me that I could just drink it straight from the box. It was genius and very fulfilling. Sorry Mom.

Room 365

So, I don't really remember how I met them, but I made friends with them. Basically we've gotten close enough that I can just pull a "Lisa Tracy", meaning that I don't knock when I come in. They joke around that I was the stray cat that was adopted. 

-Mary is the one that refers to herself in third person and enjoys doing interpretative dancing to Disney Music. I love our conversations, her random sayings have covered our famous quote-wall

-Brooke is the beautiful hispanic girl who can dance better than Shakira and is the Relief Society President. She's fun to hang out with, we've had some awesome times. She's my workout buddy.

-Candice is the heart of the group. She's the one who keeps us in check by constantly reminding us how lame we are. She also humors us with her presence and her unique sense of style.

-Sarah is my adorable friend. She has an amazing sense of style. She laughs at everything I say and seems to be a source of great hilarity for Mary.

-Jessica is the transportation provider and the dance-party organizer. She is most famous for her giant pink pepper spray on her key chains. The same pepper spray that almost blinded me when myself and a friend of Sarah's went after a mysterious noise in Sarah's dark room.

I just love those girls!!!

My 19th Birthday

September 18th was my 19th birthday! So for my birthday I went out to dinner with all my roommates and my newest friends from Apartment 365. We went to Apple-bee

s, it was SO amazing to have an actual MEAL!!!

Afterwards we came back home where I opened my presents from my family and had my marvelous cake. Because we couldn't bake an actual cake, my Mother sent me a box of Twinkies with candles and matches. So we constructed a cake-like tower of Twinkies and li

t up the candles. But don't tell the Head Resident, because we're not allowed to have candles. It was so much fun!

A New Start

I, following in the footsteps of many of my friends, have decided to create a blog about the goings-on in my life. In this blog I'm going to document the awesome times of which I'm having here at BYU-Idaho.

I have made some amazing friends here at BYU-I Do. Shout out to room 365! But I totally miss my home. Strangely I haven't really been homesick. True, I cried once while talking to my dog on Webcam, but thats just because I miss my boy! It hasn't really sunk in yet that I'm here at college. Or the fact that I'm not living at home. But I'm totally comfortable in my cute little room. I'll post pictures soon. 

Have a happy Holly Day!
