(i wouldnt believe it either)
i know. i know.

15. my four rubbermaid container things under my bed- SURPRISE! all four fit. amazing. miraculous. all i'm gathering from today's events is that i am meant to be here.
16. carrying boxes from car to the apartment- SURPRISE!! out of no where a fleet of 3 boys offered their services to carry the boxes for us. i forgot people are nice here!! (dont worry scotty, you know i was waving that left hand all around in their faces)
17. getting ready to make my bed- SURPRISE! forgot sheets. hmm.
18. i thought i would be tight with space with 5 other roommates... especially in the bathroom -SURPRISE! perfect set up. i have my own towel rack, my own shelf above the toilet, my own drawer under the sink, AND a little mini shelf between the mirrors. holler.
19. take a break from unpacking to check twitter- SURPRISE!!! jimmer is engaged. can't wait for this to be the talk of the whole school next week... not.
20. two weeks ago i planned on crying all the way to provo, getting to the apartment and sobbing on my bed until november - SURPRISE! i am weirdly excited to be here. im fine. im happy. yes, this might change in a few days. but as of right now... this is fun!

ReplyDeleteAsh, we need to get together while you are up here!!! Let me know if you need anything!
ReplyDeleteHow in the world did all of your clothes fit in that closet? Hahaha. Isn't regency/our side of the bedroom great?! haha. Who were the helpful boys? Our ward/BYU is great! Also, I love you! I'm wishing right now that I had left you a little surprise somewhere in you room, but it's a little too late for that, unfortunately.
