The Drive Down Memory Lane....

The drive from Layton to Logan is one that I have made at least a thousand times. I know it like the back of my hand. It is so beautiful, as are the memories that I have made on my drives. Okay lets be real. Not all of them are fond. Those moments would be the 10 times my car broke down in Sardine Canyon. On the bright side, I no longer panic when that happens. Mostly bad words run through my head, but I am working on that...                                          Today,  my drive consisted of me reminiscing my previous years living in Logan.  I remembered all of the fun drives that Meg and I had, belting out "I Want to Break Free" by Queen, Delilah following us everywhere, the funny rap songs we would jam out to, but most importantly the great talks that we had. She truly is one of my best friends. We had SO much fun together.  Man so many memories are running through my brain right now, and all of the bring a smile to my face. We learned a lot together. We grew up together. We helped each other ( well she helped me) in so many ways. I honestly don't know where I would be with out that woman. My fondest memories have her in them.
 Freshman and Sophomore year were truly THE best. Late night Betos runs,  pantie parties, maller baller, Cinnamon challenge, hot springs, movie nights, making s'mores on the stove,  throwing the football, working out at the field house, yoga in our bedroom, chamber of secrets, playing in the canal behind the apartment, yelling DANGER trying to scare each other, watching Law and Order SVU and FRIENDS..... Wikipedia.... (hahahaha) The list goes on and on. None of these experiences would have been the same with out my amazing roommates, Nicole, Sallie and Megan. We didn't go a day with out laughing.  
I think what really made freshman year was the guys we hung out with. I think they came into our lives just when they needed to. We became one of the guys so fast with them! I wouldn't have it any other way. They were my best friends. Oh the  memories of nights with them. Betos at midnight on Sundays were expected.  If I recall right, we were all together every day. Man I miss those guys. 
I am so excited to be able to make more friends and more memories, however I really think that those 2 years will always be the best. There are so many more memories, and I could go into FAR more detail about them, but alas it is far past my bed time, and I still want to watch Private Practice. Its my addiction.... 
Thanks again for reading, I know that this post wont make sense to most, but to some hopefully it will bring back those memories. Goodnight all!

     So its true, I have finally hopped on the bandwagon and decided to blog. Gag I know! I am not really good with words, and I know I will my grammar and spelling mistakes, but that is who I am. I am no where near perfect. Ask my family. I fall up stairs, run into walls, and trip over anything and I choke. A Lot. On everything, including air (it's embarrassing). I like to think of my self as the "funny/fat " child in my family. I swear I am always eating!! I am SOOO thankful for a fast metabolism! I hate contention, and I always have tried to make those around my happy. It doesn't always work, and sometime I probably annoy the heck out of my parents, BUT I sure get a kick out of my self!   It really is true, laughter is always the best medicine ( at least for me...).
      I think my family likes to mostly laugh at me, not with me. Picture it. I was eating in the Layton  Hills Mall with my mom and sister. I was simply enjoying my delicious Chick-fa-le when BOOM out of now where I started choking on my Dr. Pepper.  I am literally choking, and my dear sweet Mom and sister are laughing uncontrollably AT me. RUDE. I was semi glad to see the nice men sitting at the table next to us, looking like they were about to leap out of their seats to come to my rescue. Thankfully I stopped and they didn't have to come over. That would probably have been my most embarrassing moment of my life. To this day I still will choke. Ask my friends. Those who really know my, just sit there and let me choke to my death, knowing that I will be okay. It is always funny when we are around new people and they all have these panicked faces. 
      Anyways  I love to laugh. If you can make me laugh, we will be friends. No doubt. I have learned to laugh at my self. When I was younger I would get embarrassed if I fell. I have since learned its better to just laugh. I think it makes the whole situation better for everyone involved. Lets just face the fact that when people fall it is funny (hopefully they are okay). This reminds me of my freshman year. It was indeed a snowy day at USU. While walking to the shuttle, Megan and I decided to walk in between the TSC and the Field House. There may or may not be a slight decline, and walking down it was pretty dang slick. Meg and I held onto each other, slipping and sliding, we kept each other up. Before I get to the next part of this story, I do have to say that we LOVED when people biffed it ( mostly on long boards, but all times were great). Especially on campus. It is so mean I know, but again lets be real, its funny. Anyways there was this guy walking in front of us, Hot chocolate in one hand and a muffin in the other. ... I can remember watching him and just waiting for him to fall. Then he did. Picture it. His legs slide from front to back. Much like in cartoons. His muffin flies into the air, then continues to hit the ground rolling down the hill. His hot chocolate spilled all over the road and  this poor guy. " MY HOT CHOCOLATE!!!!" I hurried over to him to make sure he was okay. He denied my help. NBD.  It took everything to keep Meg and I from laughing our heads off. We then had to hurry to catch the shuttle. I am pretty sure we looked like complete fools. The second we got onto that shuttle we both bursted with laughter. Non stop laughter until we got to the car. To this day I still laugh. 
       Hopefully this blog makes sense, and is fun to read! I am pretty random to most of my posts will be random. :) Lets hope this goes well!
