Thinking of my past life
Will really loves to pull out all our photos and look at the pictures. I found him looking at them the other day and I sat down to look at them too. It reminded me of all the fun college experiences I had. So, this post is to reminisce on the good times I had in college (note: there were plenty of bad ones as well but we don't need to remember those). Unfortunately, Mike isn't a part of most of them because he didn't exist yet.
- The hairy cake prank
- Mad Uno
- Hot tub in the snow
- Trip to Cali
- Lake Powell trip
- Underwear stealer
- Weekly or maybe nightly lip-sync with spoons, with Laura
- Camping in Rock Canyon Park (twice)
- Themed parties
- Roller blading
- Extreme spoons
- Trip to Washington for Emily's wedding
- Trip to Zion National Park with Roommates
- Adaptive Aquatics with Josh
- Trip to Cali with Lindsey to Uncle Allen's house
- Motorcycle rides
- The sea mural we painted on our wall and had guests add to
- Making the Victoria Secret Bunnies
- Making pinatas
- Trip to Philly to see Lindsey
- Teaching Institute
- Roommate weekly challenges
- Ward Nertz (or pounce) games
- Trips to Las Vegas (especially the one when Mike came...the start of our existence...sigh)
- Trip to Cali with Mike to see his grandparents
- "It's Book" for Ty-guy
That's all I can think of right now. Fun times. I wish everyone could have as much fun in college as I had. I believe that every one's lives work out just right for them--some people get married right out of high school, some go on missions, etc. I never went to college with the intention of getting married (although I think I just assumed it would happen). Anyway, I'm glad that I was able to finish school and have a thousand different roommates (like 27 or something) before I met Mike. If I had met Mike before that time, we wouldn't be together. We were two entirely different people and would never have been in the same mindset to get married--I needed to mature! He would've thought I was nuts! I am sad that most of my friends didn't ever get to know him though. Most of them have only met him once or twice. Sad because they would like him.
