Roommates!

I figured I would tell a little about my past and present roommates (5 each semester) since they're such a huge part of my life here in Rexburg!!
Enjoy!


Winter Semester Roommate: Rachel Spencer!

Rachel is from Spokane, Washington, and is such a fun person to be around! Rachel works for AV Productions on campus and is an anchor and weather girl for I-News, BYU-Idaho's online news broadcast! She has a beautiful singing voice and liked to dance around the apartment and be a goof! Rachel is 24 and served a mission for the LDS church for 18 months in Leeds, England!


Winter Semester Roommate: Sarah Bedke!

Sarah is from Bakersfield, California, and has a contagious personality! I never saw Sarah sad or mad. She is always very happy and enthusiastic about life! Sarah is a Recreational Leadership major and really likes anything having to do with the outdoors! She really is one of my heroes and I hope to be as caring and happy as she is!


Winter and Summer Semester Roommate: Marie Larsen!

Marie is from Surprise, Arizona, and is very sweet! Being the most quiet and shy roommate, Marie has had to deal with a lot while living with me. : ) I'm glad she's my roommate! I think Marie is an Art major, but I also think she may have changed it to "Undecided". She is very talented! Marie is the 2nd oldest child in her family... of 11 children! She's very sweet and kind and always seems happy!



Sarah and Marie (Winter Semester) put their beds with mine in the living room for a roomie slumber party for my 20th birthday while Rachel stayed up all night sitting on the couch working on a project!


Summer Semester Roommates: (in the back) Rose Teschner! (posing) Stephie Dimmick!

Stephie is from Orlando, Florida, and is quite spunky! This girl is hilarious and has a really great sense of humor! Even though we had a bumpy start with our very different personalities, Stephie has become one of my favorite roommates EVER! She's got great style with her clothing (here, she happened to have a fun time putting on almost every item of clothing she owns while waiting for her friend to get to the apartment)! All in all, Stephie is full of life and energy!

Rose, in the back, there, is from all over the place. I think her family is currently living in Utah, but will be moving BACK to Nevada soon. Rose is my room roommate for Summer Semester, and is quickly becoming one of my favorite people to talk to. Rose really likes to go camping and have friends over to watch movies! Rose and Stephie are both very social and invite friends over a lot. We all love it!... now. : )


Summer Semester Roommates: (left to right) Lauren Landes, Marie Larsen, Tona Peterson!

Tona is from Huntsville, Utah, and makes really good smelling food! She's fun and happy and is really enjoyable to be around. Tona likes to watch the Disney channel with me and likes to play her Gameboy! Haha! I love it. She's really sweet and is going to be a great mom and wife someday!


Summer Semester Roommate: (closer picture) Lauren Landes!

Lauren is from Fresno, California, and is awesome!! She is getting married on August 8th and will make a great wife! She is 19 and is full of life! She's fun to talk to about relationships and likes to make fun of me... we have a good relationship that way! : ) Haha! She has a great personality and is just a really great girl!


Missing from these pictures are:
Winter Semester Roommates: Natalie Crabb and Andrea Reed!

Natalie is from Southlake, Texas, and is probably the most loving person I have ever met! She has such a huge capacity to love others, no matter who they are or what their background! Nat has just about the most hilarious sense of humor I have ever known! Sometimes there are things she can say and get away with that no one else ever could! She's just funny that way. I love the relationship Natalie and I have. She always gives me a big hug when I see her and gets all excited about my Drew stories! Natalie served a mission for the LDS church speaking Sign Language in Oregon. I think she and I are going to be roommates for Fall Semester!

Andrea Reed is from Rigby, Idaho, just around the corner from here, but was my room roommate during Winter Semester. I didn't see Andrea much because she stayed on campus late during the week and went home during the weekends, but when I got the chance to spend time with her, I saw how wonderful she is! Andrea is currently serving a Spanish speaking mission for the LDS church in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania! I'm sure she's doing great! She was always someone who would laugh at my jokes (even though I'm not really all that funny) and would really show compassion for others. I miss her!

So that's about it! I wish I had pictures of everyone, but that's ok!

Until another day in Rexburg...
