Comment, darnit!

Hey guys! I decided that since you weren't (except for Marta and Mom, thanks!) commenting on my blog even when I asked you to, I would put in some pictures that might make you more likely to comment... So here they are!

This is a picture of the five of us who were there coming home from church last week (fast Sunday). On the far left is Shyler, then Ashley, Kirsi, Amy, and I . Madi was on a trip to Maryland (ready the blog for further info, people!).
This is a picture of us banging pots and pans outside after BYU beat Oklahoma. Everyone was really excited because Oklahoma was third in the nation, and our team got catapulted up in the rankings - we're now at #7! On the far left is Amy, then Ashley, Kirsi's friend Janessa, Kirsi, and me!

This is my bed... On the left of the picture you can see the shelf above my bed. I have several lovely family pictures, but as you can see, I have an empty 4x6 frame, so I need another one. My desk is piled high with books, because I don't have room for them anywhere else!

A slightly different angle of my bed, where you can see the classic star over my bed that mom made at girl's camp when I was little, the magnet board Tess made for me, and a lovely little note that Amy wrote me. I have another stack of books there, as well as my alarm clock and the flowers Mom got for my birthday :)

In THIS view, you can see the bins under my bed and my backpack. The bin on the right has my diabetes supplies and the one on the left has all sorts of stuff, like my walnuts and powdered milk, my first aid kit, and my purse.

This is my desk. I have the pencil cup that Mom made for me, my scriptures, and my desk lamp, which I got for $2 at a garage sale. The red plastic vase on the right (75 cents at DI) contains the sunflower Kelsey gave me, and is wrapped in the yellow paper and red ribbon that the flower came in. It normally holds the bundle of fake flowers that you can see below it now.

This is a picture I actually took before moving in, when I was here with Mom. It shows the side of my room opposite from the desk. The right-hand arrangement is mine, the left Shyler's.

This is the main compartment of my closet.

This is the section to the left. It has my belts, jewelry, washcloths, and beautiful hand-knitted scarves.

My closet door, accessorized by a very cute umbrella hanging from the handle.

My top left cupboard contains food items I don't have room for in the kitchen, such as cheerios, ramen, and stuffing. Yum...

Speaking of food, here's a view of our kitchen. My wonderful knife set is in the back left-hand corner, and Kirsi's profile is in the background.

This is the sink area. As I've been complaining about, the sink is always full of two people's (cough cough Ashley and Madi cough cough) dishes.... I'm not cleaning them this time, although it's getting difficult to wash any dishes because you literally can't get them in under the faucet.

This is our fridge, dishwasher, and cupboards. We have a couple of note-things on the fridge, which is nice. You can also see our cooler in this picture. :)

This is the remainder of my food supply. I didn't take any pictures of the inside of the fridge or freezer because everything might have fallen out if someone wasn't there to hold it in... In the lefthand cupboard, which i got because nobody else could reach it, I have all sorts of breakfast foods, pasta, and peanut butter. That jar of peanut butter is almost gone, because I love peanut butter. The right-hand cupboard has all of my fresh fruit as well as granola bars, grits, and brown sugar, among other things...

This is the main kitchen area. On the left is the fridge that Shyler's boyfriend brought her, which has majorly cleared up space in the normal fridge. Madi brought the rack in the middle, which we desperately needed. We have two waffle irons on the lower shelf. The tablecloth was my idea/purchase and it helps to add some color to our prison-resembling walls. The basket has our silverware, and also holds napkins when we have them.

Our ever-present (and always on, sigh) TV. It's almost as big as the one we have at home.

This is another picture from before the move-in, because I forgot to get a picture of the couch!! It is directly across from where the table is in this picture now.

Above our couch we have a clock and this board hanging on the wall.

This is Ashley in the middle of a dance party in the kitchen, in her pj bottoms.

As you can see, the dance party went a little bit crazy, and here Kirsi and Ashley pose for the camera.

Amy dancing with Kirsi looking on...

Here's Shyler, making a grumpy face for the camera while talking on the phone and chatting on the computer simultaneously (that takes skill).

So those are my pictures of college life so far. I hope you liked them! I will write later today and tell you what has been going on over the last few days, but now I've gotta go. Love you!
