Roommate Review!

Haha I thought it'd be really fun to go back and look at all the past roommates that I've had and see where they are today!

Liz- Was my first roommate ever in the Dorms. She was great and the perfect first roommate to have. Currently I think shes on a mission in Germany.
Sara and Katy- Both cute girls I roomed with in the spring and summer semesters of the first year of college! They're both married now and unfortunately we haven't talked much after that.

Jalene- Next is Jalene who turned out to be one of my best friends throughout college and even now. Together we conquered our first 'off campus' apartment' and everything that entailed with that. We made so many memories and were so proud of our sad run down apartment that was constantly breaking down and had major problems, but it was ours and we did our best to make it our home away from home and to accommodate to it. We had so much fun together with constant trips to DI to decorate and lots of parties. I haven't seen Jalene for awhile 6 or more months, but we still keep in touch. She is currently engaged and getting married in July I am so happy for her and love her very much!Laurie and Lindsey- Living with Laurie was probably one of the biggest challenges of my life. Just because of the differences between personalities that we have. She is a great person and does so many good things for the world, but the personality clash was so different and we had different views on a lot of things. She is currently a family consumer science teacher and is still living in our old house.
Lindsey- is one another one of the roommates that you grow to love and become best friends with. She is amazing and has taught me so much, I've probably learned the most from Lindsey than any of my other roommates. She is kind and giving of herself and has taught me so many important things pertaining to life. I visit her often and see her as much as I can. We have plans to live together again when I am finished with school and on my breaks! I love her and talk to her everyday and miss her! She is currently working as a Registered Nurse in Salt Lake City, and was even nominated for LDS Hospital nurse of the year, I was so proud of her she is my hero. She is still living at our old house and is in the process of buying a house for the first time!Mariah and Kelly Jo- Mariah and Kelly Jo were those roommates that became such a huge blessing and made me aware that God really does love me and is aware of my life and puts the people that I need into my life at that particular time. When I moved to Rexburg I was homeless and friendless. I had left everything I knew back in Salt lake City, friends, family, all forms of familiarity, to come to BYU-Idaho for school and to further research and enrich my life. And these girls took me in with all my insecurities and my imperfections and were friends to me and loved me and shared their friends and life with me. For that I am so thankful for them and appreciate everything they have done and do for me! I am so sad that Kelly Jo is off track and that Mariah is moving to a house but I will always be so great full for them and love them.I'm so greatful for the many great people i've met and for the best roomies a girl could ask for and for the life long friends i've made!
