Roommates

Well I am very lucky/blessed with great roommates this semester. I'd like to introduce them to you. :)

Kristen, from Virginia. Aka... Well, Kristen. She is engaged to Nathaniel. He's pretty much a roommate too. :) Kristen is the sweetest person you will meet. Always positive, and doesn't have a mean bone in her body! (PS. Nathaniel's pretty cool too. Haha. Nah, well all love him!)

Abbey, from Germany (dad is in the military): Aka..Abs, Abber, Abernacle, Abster...I could go on forever. But, alas, I won't. Abbey is awesome. Good talker and listener. She really cares about people and has a great laugh. PS, she laughs at EVERYTHING. (Even my jokes, so that's nice.)

Katie, from Las Vegas. Aka.. Kate. Katie is smart. She knows something about everything. She's fun to hang out with and always has a good story to tell. She's wise, and kind.

Kelsey, from Texas. Aka.. Kels. Haha. I guess that's it. What to say about Kelsey. I think Kels is great. She's very kind. She'll do anything for anyone at any time. Plus she has the cutest giggle!

Mindy, from Texas. Aka.. Baby Mindy, Min. She's the youngest of the clan and my room roommate. We share a birthday, only she was born 9 years after me! She's so much fun. We have a lot of fun breaking out in spontaneous raps and dances. Oh, and she sings like an angel.

Take me back...

To my childhood...

Forts! In the living room. The first one Kelsey and I slept out in...well I slept out there until I woke up with Kelsey on top of me! Then I went back to my bed and slept...plus I was freezing. :)

The second one took place at 2 in the morning. I just watched Mindy and Abster put it together. I'm getting too old to participate much. Haha. Nah, someone had to document it!

I knew I brought an extra set of sheets for a reason! (Shhh. Don't tell them I posted these pictures of them...they said I couldn't put them on facebook...as far as I know, this isn't facebook.) Haha.

Brrrrr

So we have a pretty dog-gone cool FHE group. We meet every Monday evening and do and activity and have a lesson. We went ice skating one night. I'm pretty sure all of my appendages would have frozen off if we had stayed outside much longer!

Here we go.

Here are a few pictures of my roommates. We had a fiesta night, complete with a pinata. Broke the broom and smacked the wall, but it was fun! Abbey and her brother, Parker made dinner and Mindy, Kelsey and Abbey made Oreo truffles for dessert.

Katie, Kelsey and Jackie enjoying the festivities. :)

Elliot...so brave to hold the pinata!

Abbey making deliciousness

Aww Parker, what a nice apron you have.

Kelsey, Mindy, and Abbey. Don't I have the cutest roommates? (The answer is yes.)

Now..

That I have this figured out there will be a flood of posts! Yes, I am putting my homework off, but I am doing this for YOU. ;o) I'm loving this semester. Great apartment, awesome roomies, and the weather is great. The snow is starting to melt, and it's warm enough to go outside without a coat! (in the upper 30s, lower 40s) Classes, well I am taking a drawing class, art history 2, sacred art (studying the 7 major world religions and their art) Book of Mormon 2, and Children's Lit.

Right now, I'd like to share with you some of my favorite art works we have studied in Art History, and some I have just found. If you aren't comfortable with nudity, please close the window now. Haha.

There are just some things that when you see them hits you like a ton of bricks.

Titian, Venus of Urbino. This is just beautiful. She's real woman, not a skinny mini.

Dali, Woman with a Flower Head

Caravaggio, Entombment. Notice how the man hold Christ's legs is looking at you, inviting you into the scene.

Bosch, Garden of Earthly Delights

Artemisia Gentileschi, Judith Slaying Holofernes. My favorite artist. She really had an interesting life.

Let's try this again.

Well, since last night, or I guess earlier this morning, the pictures wouldn't load, I'm trying again!

This is my bedroom, drawers under the bed! Woot!

Well...

Well, look who is a total slacker... yeah, that would be me. The semester is over halfway done and I'm just now doing my first post. Looks like I've got a lot of catching up to do! I'll post stuff in no particular order! How rude! The pictures aren't uploading. I'll try again tomorrow! Until then!
