Love and Life

4 years ago, Chris joined the Church and came to youth conference. The first day of youth conference, I remember seeing Chris and thinking he was really cute. He asked me to dance that night and I was so excited. That was the first day I met Chris Vaughan. The other day, Linnea was looking through pictures and found this picture from that day 4 years ago.

Today, Chris and I have been dating almost a year and 5 months. We were apart 12 weeks last summer, went to different colleges our first semester of college, and he is now leaving for 2 years to serve a mission for the Church. He has become my best friend and I will miss him so much while he's gone. I love you Chris Vaughan!

( Clearly, my style of clothing hasn't changed that much in 4 years haha)

End of College

Easter on Holly's Farm

We went to Holly's family's farm the day before Easter for food and Easter egg hunts. It was really fun! Only Kristen, Raquel, Chris and I went.

One of my life goals is to milk a cow. Holly's cows aren't milking, so they let me milk their goat.

Easter Eggs

We colored eggs as an apartment one night. Lindie wasn't there and Raquel and Chris joined us. It was a great night and definitely time away from studying well spent.

Last Few Days Together

We borrowed some chalk and had some fun! The next morning, they hosed it off tho

Holly's birthday was less than a week after we all went home, so Chris and I decided to give her an early birthday present and decorated her car.

We found this sign when we went to Wendy's for frosties.

We spent a lot of our time playing card games.

Chris and I

On our last night together, Carrie stayed at home. We missed her a lot. People did a lot of the their cleaning and I packed. Then we made a fort in the lobby with our blankets and chairs. We played cards and talked inside. This is while Kristen and Sarah were finishing their cleaning.

In the morning, Carrie came down and we all finished cleaning and checked out of Gates 197. This is all of us with our resident assistant, Mindy (in the middle). It was a sad day to say goodbye.

This year of college was amazing. I learned and grew so much. The girls I lived with became my friends. I love them so much. They are all amazing, beautiful women. They made me laugh every day, they were there when I cried, and they made this year unforgettable. I wish them the very best in their lives.

Enjoying the Spring

Chris took this picture on one of the hottest days so far this spring. I love it :)

Ducks

My favorite part of spring are all the ducks! They are all over campus. They just kinda chill around, but they waddle away if you try to get close to them.

April Fool's Day

Work on April Fool's Day was pretty fun. First of all, the custodial office was COVERED in news paper. This is the best picture I could get, but it was everywhere. That was the night crew supervisor.

Then we headed to the girls bathroom, because mysteriously, it was locked. This was in one of the stalls.

And there was string strewn across the bathroom.

Here is the Anthropology lab. There was Toasted O's all over the floor.

Jason and Nathan are the guys that clean the labs. When Nathan saw this, he said, "Oh, I'll give him milk!"

Then the classrooms. This was in North Hall which two girls clean.

This was in the South hall that another girl and I clean.

The whole day, we thought it was night crew that had done it. Two days later at our Friday breakfast, we watched a slideshow about who it really was....our lead and two of the guys on our crew.

Temple Square

We decided to visit Temple Square one Friday after classes. It was a beautiful day.

Duct Tape

Chris likes to make duct tape wallets, and after a year and 3 months, he finally made me one. This is the one he made for himself. It's pretty awesome. It has a buckle type thing that straps it shut.

This is the wallet he made me. I want to make a clear pocket for my ID in the middle when I can find a piece of plastic. It love it :)

I decided to decorate my laptop! Who needs to spend $30 on a laptop cover?

Ice Cream

At 11:00 one Friday night, Holly said we should get ice cream. So Holly, Kristen, Sarah, Chris, and I went to Baskin Robbins. Holly took more pictures but I didn't get those from her. This is the only one I got.

Family Home Evening

One of our FHE sisters lives in Provo, so we went to her house for Family Home Evening one Monday. Again, there were many more pictures taken that I haven't gotten. Here's Holly and I.
