The 206 girls

206

I know I'm a little late, but I gotta give a shout out to my girls of 206.

(hahaha)

This will not be a sob story post. This will hopefully give anyone who has any idea who these girls are a laugh. And if you don't know them, it's okay to still laugh. I kinda feel like these descriptions could be put up on eHarmony.com. It sounds like I'm telling everything about that that you would need to know before you got in a serious relationship with them. This could be good or bad...

I'm all about going alphabetically, backwards, by last name. So we shall start with:

Sam "Skeezy" Ward
Wiggity Wiggity. This is Sam. Your typical Idahoin. She eats potatoes every day, she talks in a hick accent and she has never seen a city bigger than Logan. Okay, those all may be lies. She actually has wiped Buckle out of any and all clothes. She can pop lock and drop it like you've never seen. And she enjoys hitting on an occasional basketball player or two. Or three. She has an obsession with the word fraternity. It gets her heart racing. She enjoys late night talks about chocolate syrup and whipped cream with a side of hand cuffs. She's one of 3 roommates who can swear and it sounds natural. She's a rodeo queen and I hear she is pretty decent on a horse, though I've never seen her on a horse. For all I know she just stands by horses and takes pictures to put on Facebook. She can't send a text or a message without asking 3 people first if it sounds okay, and even then she doesn't send it half the time. She doesn't let you see her when she first wakes up for she's in the shower 30 seconds after she gets out of bed. I think every roommate has received a "Your roommate Sam is super pretty. Hook me up" text. Or two. Or a million. She likes to put her number on the bus so people will call her. Kinda weird. She's definitely my sister now, whether she likes it or not. Such a sweetheart, and not to mention a total goddess in the looks department. I'll definitely miss this loud, obnoxious, annoying girl. (; I love you Spamanthaa.

Allie "I'm Asleep" Lundberg
If I would have never met Allie, I would have missed out on a heck of a lot of stuff. My iTunes would be about 2000 songs less. I wouldn't be wasting my Wednesdays and Thursdays watching Idol. I wouldn't have experienced beagles from a dumpster. And I wouldn't be engaged to Scott. She's the most unique and spectacular person I've ever met. You want beezy, you want sarcasm out the ying yang, and you want someone who will always have your back, you got Allie. One day, we had the best fall out known to man. Seriously I look back at it and laugh. It was so bad that I ran away for a couple of days. And here we are now #hashtagging our lives away on twitter. Allie slept in the front room more than her room. She is also nocturnal, which proved to be a problem with having classes during the day. Allie enjoys having crushes on every unavailable guy. By unavailable I mean they are literally out of the country or will be shortly. Atta girl. You go chase after them! She does have some humanitarian goodness gene in her that makes her leave the country every so often to make other peoples lives better. I respect that, but I'll miss her like crazy when she leaves to Russia. She has a weird obsession with stuffing things up her shirt to make her look pregnant. she sux at gramer and spelling, their is no 1 more worser then herr. But once you get a decoder it's not too hard to read. She is also the last person you ever want to hack your facebook. You'll regret it. She's the third member (not wheel) of mine and Scott's relationship. She really is one of the few people I consider a close friend. We are both going to name our sons Justin Bieber. I plan on growing old with her as my neighbor so we can sit on our porches and yell profanities at the kids who walk by. I can't wait.

Kandis "Momma" Kendall
Ay Kay Kay! From high school to college, we're still great friends. Down right the sweetest girl I have ever met. She is the one person in the room who you could ask "Does this match, Does this make me look fat" and she will flat out tell you it looks terrible and yes, you do look fat. She's honest and I like that. She enjoys grilled cheese sandwiches, ranch on her chicken salad, and her george forman grill. She threw the best birthday party Snow Hall has ever seen. I'm pretty sure she is the only roommate who studied religiously, and by that I mean she was always doing homework, or she was reading her scriptures while eating a bowl of cereal. We studied stars and the bible together our first semester and she came up on top with both. She spends more time curling her eye lashes than she does her hair. She's the only roommate who I can play catch in lacrosse with. She definitely gets the award for kissing in the coolest places logan has to offer, aka the roof of snow hall and the bell tower by the A. She has a thing for gingers, and i'm not talking about the food. She successfully lit chicken on fire by using a microwave. She had the sickest kicks on campus and we constantly stole her shoes to make ourselves seem more cool. I love my Kandi and appreciate her friendship more than I think she will every really know.

Kim "I Want A Cowboy" Hanni
You live in the city? You don't drive a truck? You don't listen to country music. Kim doesn't want your sweet bod and curly locks. If you aren't a hick... I mean cowboy, it's rare she'll give you a second look. Kim is the only roommate who can cook, minus the incident of the exploding cake in the glass pan that led to the sign on the door that said "keep your shoes on". Kim is afraid of the sex word and anything that comes with it, yet she is as marriage hungry as the next girl. She constantly put up with me eating her candy. She always got ready in her room, probably because Sam was always hogging the mirror and Allie never got ready so it wasn't a problem for her. She was the only roommate known to have a worse room than me on occasion. She got more missionary letters then the rest of us combined. She put up a fight in guitar hero. She finds the best things online to waste time, aka dormlife.com. She was the purity in our room of evil. Even though she came to college kicking and screaming because of her loathing towards us Bountiful girls, I think she left kicking and screaming because she just loved us so gosh darn much she didn't want to leave. :p and I love my kimmy-kim! And even though I'm getting married before her I'm positive she'll be married and have 3 kids by the time I have 1.

Becca "Drama" Campbell
"Does this cardigan go with my shirt?" Becca gets the award for changing her outfit the most times in one day. She goes through a tube of toothpaste every week because of her obsession of brushing her teeth. She loves berry berry kix and, confession time, so did I. I definitely took my fair handful from time to time (: Sorry love. Becca likes blondes and music you won't find on the radio. Her hair never ever gets greasy, despite what she may say. 99% of the time you will see her with loose curls, skinny jeans and a cardigan. Becca doesn't believe in white bread. It's physically impossible for her to keep a good tan. She likes to vacuum at 2 in the morning. :p She plans on dancing to "All About Us" at her wedding. Becca never EVER cries, she's as tough as nails. She looks good in teal and always smells pretty. She makes friends easier than anyone I know, and she's even better at keeping them. She can't go three minutes without singing whatever song is in her mind, but thankfully she is good so it's okay. She swoons boys with her good looks and guitar playing. Literally, boys show up at her door with orange juice and love notes. Precious. She's someone you can go to for good advice or just when you need a hug. Deciding to come up to Utah State with her was the best decision I've ever met and I'm so glad I got to live with her. I love me my campbell soup.

Those were my roommates, and those are my lifelong friends. We may not stay in contact for the rest of our lives, but they have shaped me in ways that can never be changed. They made my freshman year what it was and I loved every minute of it. I wish them all the best in their lives and I hope we FOR SURE meet at least 6 more times at all of our weddings. Seriously, if I'm not invited I may slit your throat. (: I love you all beezies. 206 for life.

Day 23 – A picture of you and the person you have been closest with the longest



To start out, the term "closest" is one that can't really be defined. So this is going to be a 3 part blog. Sorry ya'll. Also, Tyler Vowles is definitely on my list of someone I'm close too, but I've already devoted a blog day to him. :P It would be repetitive.
__________________________________________________

: : D R E W & K Y : :

Meet my brothers. Andrew Applegate and Kyler Hodgson. Seriously, I love these boys like family. I've known Andrew since 3rd grade and Ky since 5th. They are two of the best friends you could ever ask for. Probably some of the smartest, and most talented boys you will ever meet. Andrew plays piano like it's nobody's business and has a wicked tennis game. Ky rocks the guitar and has set so many swimming records I lost track.

Now we aren't like close as in call each other up every day and go over the details of our day. We're close in the way where you can go months without seeing each other, then when you spend time with each other, it's like nothing has changed. They honestly are two of my favorite people in the world. We always joke about getting married and having super smart, attractive, athletic, and musically gifted children. (: Honestly though, two young women out there are going to be very lucky when they marry one of these guys! They'll be awesome husbands and fathers!!

This is us at the senior banquet. Ya I know, they are studly. We make a good team!

This is Ky and I in 9th grade English... Good times. haha.
Drew and I at graduation.
This picture tells all.

Last day of sophomore year.

Now Rob is like the best friend kind of close that this question was probably referring too. Rob is someone I can talk to about anything. He is the one person that I can get into deep conversations with, share my opinions full heartedly, and know that he will never judge me. We don't always agree on things, but we always respect each other, and that's one reason I love this boy so much. Rob and I weren't that close when we were younger. We went to junior high with each other, and we were friends, but nothing like we are now. I'd say we started to really become close our Junior year of high school. Rob went to the U my senior year of high school, and even now we don't go to the same school. But the fact that we still talk a lot and keep in touch I think is something that makes our friendship so awesome. Seriously, Robert Simmons, you are my best friend.
My birthday 9th grade. We are LITTLE!!

My favorite dance picture ever! We were lost boys from peter pan. NOT Rambo :p
Best. Class. Of. High. School. AP Calculus.
Senior all night party. This about sums us up hahaha.

I Saved the best for last. Sarah Evans AKA Gangsta. We've been TIGHT since about 8th grade. EFY is where it all really began. She is the greatest! Honestly I'm so glad that we go to the same college. It's nice to have someone there who has known you for so long, is used to your dramatic boy stories, and who never judges you. Honestly, Sarah is my sister. I would do anything for her. We are COMPLETE opposites, so how we are friends, we really don't know. But we've only been in one fight, and we still to this day can't remember what it was about. I just remember getting a Starbucks out of it and she got a bunch of PEZ dispensers haha. Gosh I love that girl. Honestly, I could see us staying friends even after I'm old and married. I can't say that about all my friends, but with her, I think we would stay in touch. Love you G!!!

Graduation!! Finally!
Our Matching shirts from american eagle.
This picture kills me ahahaha.
EFY. Frick I was tan! Sarah hates when i bend down in pictures with her. I do that in like all of them haha. My bad!
I'm lady. She's tramp (: hahaha.

Nostalgia

So cleaning out a huge cupboard full of crap today, I found a few things that made me smile and I thought I'd share. So lets take a stroll down memory lane shall we? Many of you will think this is stupid and you'll have no idea what any of these are. Others will probably laugh and get all nostalgic too. Either way, enjoy!

Drawn in 8th grade in my planner by Tyler Vowles and myself. This is Tila. She's from South Africa. She travels by jetpack. She also sports a MOM tattoo on her face because she is a real family goer (:

2009 Peace Pipe. One of the greatest issues at that. Go ahead and be Max Hall/Woods Cross and call Bountiful classless. We were, and I loved it (:
6th grade was easily the best year of elementary ever. My spectrum friends are still some of my closest friends to this day. We honestly are a family. The Odyssey-We thought we were so clever and funny. Talk about the dumbest play ever. Haha. Good times though!!
The classic black paper and tissue paper art. Oh how i hated it!
A fantastic birthday card from Junior High. Kills me. So funny. Gotta love junior high crushes.
4th grade. Singing songs about our great state... Anyone else remember how this one goes?
Oh how I wish they did this in college!
6th grade. Farthings. FRICK YEAH!
MSN messenger. That was my life in junior high. This was the day Lauren and I created our dream house. (PS Kailonu means Taylor in Hawaiian. I was obsessed)
When I got my wisdom teeth out the summer before my senior year my friend Becca was there for me with this lovely creation! So great!

Basically I've had a good life! I wouldn't trade it for the world.

Day 14 – Picture of someone you could never imagine your life without

TAYLOR KENT SMEDLEY

2000

2010

You better believe we know the definition of best friends. Taylor and I honestly raised each other. I would be COMPLETELY different if Tay wasn't in my life. Granted, we aren't super close now, especially since he is on his mission, but I know all the time we spent together when we were younger made me who I am today. Tay and I met all the way back in 3rd grade. We went to Valley View Elementary together and were in the Spectrum Program there. We instantly became best friends. Tay C. and Tay S! I can remember the very first time we hung out. We went over to Taylor's house and made this artsy doll from some kit. We then went to Valley View to watch his brothers' soccer game and Tay and I went into this circle of trees and buried the doll creation. We proceeded to dig it up a few months later. It was absolutely nasty and covered with dirt at that time, but we thought it was awesome that it was still there. Good times. In 4th grade Taylor and I were in a play together. The play was called Harry Potter meets the Wizard of Oz. Tay got casted as the part of Harry Potter. I got the part of Hermione Granger. CUTE I KNOW! :p Totally BFF moment right there (That means best friends forever for those who aren't acronym literate). Taylor and I were known for our sweet dance moves. We were OBSESSED with A*teens and S Club 7. We would make up dances to their songs and perform it for our classmates. We were awesome, no need to tell us. Taylor Smedley really is someone I COULD NOT imagine my life without. He has always been so kind and loving to everyone he meets. I know he is an amazing missionary and I'm so proud of him for serving right now. In short, Taylor Kent Smedley is someone I could never imagine my life without.

Day 12 – A picture of something you love

LACROSSE!!

I've been on SO many sports teams and not a single one of them can compare to the Bountiful High School girls lacrosse team of 2010. I got along with every single one of them, which is pretty rare on a sports team. I absolutely love these girls! We really did make up a great group of girls. Negativity was very rare, on and off the field, and I think that is what took us so far in State. We ended up taking 3rd in state last year (as well as the year before that) but we had a record of 11-2. So I was really proud of us. Our last game was my best, but it was a tough lost. I had 75% on my saves, which for a lacrosse goalie is practically unheard of. I honestly love this sport so much. It is probably the number one thing I miss about high school. I've got to play a little bit since being up at college, but nothing like I did back at Bountiful. Long story short, I'm really glad I started playing lacrosse. It was an incredible growing experience for me.
What do I love? ... I love lacrosse.

Day 06 – A picture that shows your true self

Side note: Awesome Hoodie picture with the clashing schools. GO UTES!

So a picture of my true self.... Here it is! TREK! I don't think you can get any closer to exposing yourself then you do on Trek. No make up, no shower, hard work...You honestly see the true side of people. This is a picture of one of my really good friends Tyler Cheney. I'll be completely honest, Cheney and I were not exactly thrilled about trek. As soon as we found out we were going on trek, we joked about being in the same family. It was more like "So help me if we aren't together, I'm not going". Lucky for us, we got put together in the same family! Our family actually turned out to be pretty darn cool. I honestly don't remember a whole lot about trek except for the following:

*Cheney and I joking about sneaking out and making out behind the port-o-potties
*Our Ma and Pa hating Cheney and I because we were going to sneak out and make out behind the port-o-potties
*Cheney and I never actually sneaking out to make out behind the port-o-potties
*Ben Coles serenading everyone on guitar
*Katie Lund, Kevin Hill and I ditching out on swing dancing
*Being the first person to puke and getting to ride in an air conditioned car up a big hill while drinking a cold Dr. Pepper
*Getting a wicked farmers tan on my arms
*The women's pull
*Getting a letter my parents had written me that made me cry
*Gaining a greater respect and testimony for the pioneers

Overall... I hated trek and really hope I never have to do it again (: haha. BUT it was a great experience and I'm really glad I did it.

Day 03 – A picture of you and your craziest friend


This is the most civilized picture you'll probably ever see of Tyler and I. This was us at prom. Tyler is my ultimate number one best friend. Him and I have been so close ever since the 7th grade. He claims that the first time we met was in summer band. Supposedly he sat one seat down from me, and I told everyone to scoot down the other way so that there were two seats between him and I. I DO NOT REMEMBER THIS! Haha. But regardless I'm sorry if I did that Ty! We had a little 8 month fling in 8th grade, that unfortunately was broken up due to a boy I met at EFY. I was quite the little heart breaker back in the day I guess. Thankfully, Tyler and I still stayed great friends. We went to Junior Prom together my junior year and Senior Prom my senior year. I couldn't have asked for a better date! He is the one person I can always turn to to talk about anything. He has never once judged me and he has been by my side through everything. Honestly I love that boy more than anything. So do my parents. My mom pretty much has adopted him and Tyler calls her mom. We have an awesome relationship.

So now on to the crazy. My all time favorite memory with Tyler was shopping with my mom a few years back. Tyler and I have the attention span of a teaspoon when we get together. We decided to act like "challenged" children and we proceeded to run into every thing at the store, talk like we were handicapped, and pretty much raise hell for my mom. You should have seen the looks she got. You could see the pity in the eyes of the people walking by. I honestly peed my pants laughing because of Tyler. He is the funniest kid I have ever met. Tyler also introduced me to eating pizza upside down, how to beat DK, air soft gun wars, how to pop my wrists, intense risk games, and how to make tetradactyl noises. Overall, Tyler is the craziest/sweetest/funniest/best friend I could ever ask for. I wouldn't trade him for the world!!
