Missing the "Snow"

For the next few minutes you are going to be reading about some of the BEST times of my life! I know this was a long time ago, but not a day goes by that I do not think about or remember something amazing from my life experiences at Snow College in Ephraim Utah. After graduating High School I followed in my big sisters footsteps and headed to a small town to attend my first year of college. I am not so sure what I was thinking then, a city girl heading to some po-dunk town in the middle of no where and not knowing a soul. It may have been crazy at the time, but I would not take all the money in the world to give back my 2 years in that beautiful little town right next to heaven.
While looking for a place to live I ran into an old friend who I cheered with in High School. Kelcie, soon to be known as Kelco- We talked and since neither of us had known each other were coming or known anyone else coming to this school we decided to room together. Kelco moved down before I did, I remember her telling me how awesome our roommates were. I did not know what to think, would I like them, would they be nice, would we all get along??? After meeting Roni and Christy I felt that things were going to be great and I was right. As far as I can remember we never fought, we got along great and are still the best of friends today! I had the best of times my first year at Snow and will never forget a moment, I have hundreds of pictures and I believe that makes for millions of words!
My second year at Snow I decided to move in with two girls from my home ward who were headed to school at Snow. They were a year younger than me, but I knew them well and was excited about living with them. I can honestly say that my second year at Snow was the best, maybe because I had been there a year already and knew what to expect or maybe because of the awesome roomies I was once again blessed with. Lynsie, Brooke, Jenny, Mindy, Tedi and I did some of the craziest things, we had numerous quote boards and plenty of inside jokes.

To try and explain to someone the THINGS I did, the FUN I had and the LESSONS that I learned would not only take me forever, but would be like trying to count every grain of sand that there is in the ocean- IMPOSSIBLE! I miss those days so much and think about them often. Roni, Christy, Kelcie, Jenny and Brooke (who is also expecting a baby) are all married and loving life. Lynsie is getting married next month. Mindy and Tedi are enjoying life and doing some pretty awesome things if I do say so myself. Stay strong girls there is only 3 of us left! :)
The best part of it all is that every one of these girls I am still in contact with and we get together as often as we can and I love that, we need to do it more!



I know these pictures are old, crazy and probably do not make sense to you but they are priceless to me. Each one holds its own story and has some kind of laughter behind it, with as many pics as I had to choose from I chose these all at random and it works! P.S. I am sorry for not having pictures from my first year up, sorry Roni and Christy all I had on my laptop at school was these ones! I need to get the rest from my home computer.

How fun! I loved all the pics. Snow College seriously is the BEST! No one will truly understand that unless they went there.

Lynsie said...

Ummm...so seriously, the only wedding present I want from you is all the pictures from that year of snow, even if it is of Juanito or Spenc or anyone, that is all I want.
