We all tried to take a nap on my bed. Some shenanigans broke out. Including blue lipstick and a great hairstyle on Sarah.

Look how clean our bathroom is! I wonder how that happened.. oh wait. The toilet overflowed. While I was by myself (a rare occurrence in this apartment.) Who even knows what to do in a situation like this?! The toilet water and all its dirties was nearing the brim of the toilet seat while I juggled the plunger and somehow managed to pull the top off the toilet and lift the thing-a-ma-bob up to stop the Willamette river of grossness making a nice pool by our shower. While I had one hand on the plunger and the other one holding up the lever, I contemplated the meaning of life. Ha, not so much. I tried to figure out how I could get the water to stop and hopefully find someone to help. I didn't even know where my phone was! By some miraculous means the water started going down. Apparently I did something right. Who knew I was an novice plumper in my free time? I didn't! By then I had about a 1/3 inch of water covering the floor and only paper towels to clean it up. Thank you apartment mates for all purchasing paper towels. I think I used four whole rolls. I had nothing else to use! We are college students. But luckily by roommates came back to help me out. '

I feel like I was just on an episode of Dirty Jobs. This was definitely a learning experience. Though, when the water began to rise and I was sure this bathroom would be my final resting place, it wasn't too fun. Now I can laugh at it, so I hope you do too!

And I apologize if this is kind of gross. The thing is I kind of keep this blog as a journal, so I feel it was a must to write about.

Adding some Phoenix Suns decoration to Erin's black and yellow truck.

Meet Captain Claw. He is the pet of Mansion 17 and after they stole Justin Bieber we had to take matters into our own hands. A little hostage situation broke out and there was some negotiation involved but in the end I think Captain Claw liked our place better. Also, meet Lil Wayne behind Bieber.

Welcome to college. Finger painting.

So guess what?! It is time for BYU round two! Summer was great but I am glad to be back in Provo. In an apartment. With my friends! It is great. Today was the second day of school and everything just seems to be going so well. Heather is my roommate once again, Sarah and Erin are right next door and then we have our new friends Emily and Annie right across from us. We have another roommate too, Justin Bieber that is.

My parents and I did have bit a tiff getting to dear ol' Provo though. Our car broke down about 20 miles outside of Tremonton and about two hours away from Provo. It started with this weird chirping noise, like a bird. And I promise I did not pack a bird from Portland. I asked my Dad if it was something to be concerned about and right after I did my Dad lost all power in the gears. We ended up coasting to the side of Exit 16. It was getting dark. I asked my Mom about mountain lions and Cougars.. I mean who knew what we would run into! Though, we were pretty set with ALL my college things stuffed in the whole car. We could have lived for a few days at least. I mean besides water and food that is... details. The tow truck came about an hour of waiting because they had been towing someone else. Enter Brad Archibald. The best tow truck driver ever. If they had that award I would give it to him year after year. On the way to Tremonton he talked and had the most amazing stories and was genuinely interested in us. He called and ahead and got us the last hotel room. Who knew Tremonton was such a happening place? The biggest fair in Utah was going on right in there tiny town. Then he gave us his personal Trooper to drive to his shop in the morning. He treated us like family. If we were to break down anywhere I would choose it to be there. But after waiting, waiting and more waiting we found out our transmission is ruined and we had to rent a white minivan. Can you say Swag Wagon? So we reloaded all my college stuff into that car and headed to Provo. And guess what? We made it!
