Hi. My name is Kaitlin... And I love college.

First off, I attended my first home game.
It was... AWESOME.
So much fun.
I loved...
Every second of it.
Well mostly.

Yeah, I think it's cool that Zack and I are still so tight.

Sometimes, I hang out with people like this...

And sometimes... I hang out with people like this.These are my cool beans roommates.
They're cool.

If you're wondering what we're doing in this picture, we're playing the role of "awkward family".
I'm the silent, intimidating father.
Rachel is the crazy inquisitive mother.
Alison is the obnoxious little sister.
And Sarah is the victim.
MUAHAHAHA.


Yeah, I'm having fun. :)

Partyin, Partyin, Yes.

So. Last night, my roommates and some of our neighbors went to Logan Canyon.
Wanna know what inspired it?
So Casey (yellow hoodie) and Alan (Creepin into the first picture) come over. We're all just chillin, and I wanted a s'more, so I was like "Hey. I have s'mores stuff. Let's make some s'mores." And they were like "...Kay."
So then, after roasting the marshmallows over the stove and deciding we could do a little bit better, we decided that Logan Canyon was the way.

It was so fun :]
I love campfires.

My job was to hold the flashlight. :]

Roomiess!.... And Alan.

Haha. Casey was trying to get us to do this all night. I finally did...

This one turned out a little better.

First home football game toNIGHT....
Awh yeah :]

I'm a big kid now...

Okay sooo.. I've had to refrain from blogging lately.
Cause I am in college now.
And my internet sucks.
It takes wayyyy too long to do anything besides check my email and occasionally do some FB.

So I waited till I was home!!
I've only been gone for a week...
But I wanted to come back and visit cause it'd be the last chance I got till my parents came back from Nauvoo, so it'd be another like 3 or 4 weeks until I could come back.
Nobody knew I was coming except my mom, dad, grandma, and Alexis.
I surprised everyone haha :]

College is sooo fun. I've met so many people and made so many new friends! So far, there's been something fun to do every night. Unfortunately, I haven't really picture-cated a lot of what has happened. I forget to let my camera tag along =/
I'm learning lots of lessons...

1) Some people, no matter how good of friends you thought they were, will always abandon you for someone or something they think is better. The lesson here is to avoid relying on these people when hard times (such as, say, moving away from home) come along.

2) My parents are the best! Before I left, my mom and I kind of butted heads... A lot. But since I left I call and talk to her every day, sometimes for a half hour or longer. I'm so grateful that we built that relationship as I was growing up so that I have now and forever will have a permanent best friend. When I came home, I cried when I saw both her and my dad just because I was so happy to see them.
I honestly don't remember a time when I haven't been able to hold back tears of joy...
Ok that's probably not true.
But still, I can hold it in pretty well.

3) My brothers are awesome.
I love them so dearly! They are also my best friends. I adore them. A lot.

4) It's sooo important to have your own testimony. When you move out, it's easy to say "my parents aren't here, I can do this cause they won't be mad." And fall away. Not saying that I've experienced this personally, but I can see in my classmates how easy it was for them to, as soon as they got the boot, stop doing what they were taught to do.

5) The concept of "Studying" actually does apply in college.
Majorly.

6) I made some very good friends that I will treasure and cherish for the rest of my life when I lived at home! I hope those friends never fade away.

7) Heavenly Father loves me!! A lot. A lot a lot.
I have such a great life :]
