Finding roommates and a place to live was a very big stressor for me this summer. I have never had a horrible experience with roommates, but I really wanted to live with girls who would actually be fun to hang out with too! But I didn't know anyone who was going to BYU and was over 22 (I am done doing the freshman thing). Then through a good friend I heard that a girl, who was in my ward last summer, was starting her Masters degree at BYU this fall. So I did the only logical thing and facebooked her to see if she needed any roommates and where she was thinking of living--because I had absolutley no idea where to live! And she did! She had a place picked out called Canyon Meadows which sounded pretty good to me. It has a pool, work out facilities, and the ward is all graduate students and older working singles!! Wahoo!! No Freshman!! When we went to go look at apartments we happen to run into another girl who was looking for a place to live. Since we had to have 3 girls to rent the apartment we got her number--so I know how you guys feel and trust me it isn't that hard! After a few more stressful weeks we signed for our place. Lindsay Proctor is from Park City and in the School of Psychology program at BYU. Colette Hinchcliff is from Pleasant View and is attending UVU while working as a Dental Hygenist. I love them both, and have a lot of fun living with them!!
On Saturday night we decided to have a night out on the town, just us three. We ended up at a place called Spark. It is pretty much a Mormon Bar. Sounds lame right? Well we actually quite enjoyed ourselves. They have a ton speciality drinks, I got a double berry martini and my roommates each got a mango mojito (all virgen of course). The atmopshere is fun too, lights are low, places to launge, and super sleek. Me and my roommates got all dressed up and went, but it was clear we were still in Provo because everyone else was in a T-shirt and jeans. Serously? That is one of the things I really don't like about Utah. We are so casual about everything. It is suppose to be fun to dress up and go out.
Anyway, they also had a guy there playing his guitar and singing. ALLRED. You ever heard of him? I am sure he is only locally known, but he is known. So after he finished playing we went up and got a picture with him. I'll just add his name to the many celebrities I know.
Lindsay is on the left, then ALLRED and then me and Colette on the right. It was a super fun night! And I think the beginning to an amazing year!
