Oh BYU

I saw on a friend's blog that every year she has a little memorial to her alma mater, and I thought it was a neat idea, so I decided to do one of my own. BYU holds a special place in my heart because I have so many friends that I met there and learned so much. But I also met the wonderful man I call my husband there.

It's weird not going back to school, that's what we've done for the last like 6 years. It's crazy. The first semester I sent him to school and I didn't go was weird, and this is weird. Life goes on I guess and we have to grow up, but I did enjoy the time we spent there (and I was happy to move too), but we had a lot of fun and had a lot of fun friends. It was weird to say goodbye.

I know some people just plain don't like BYU, and to be honest, I'm not sure why. It's definitely its own world, that is for sure. Example: On Friday, we went on a date and in the booth across from us I hear this guy drop the same curse word at least 7 times (he also used a few others, but the same one 7 times, anyways) and I mention this to the husband and he says, "We're definitely not at BYU anymore." That is for sure. Oh another funny example, when I would go to my parents house and be at the store or somewhere and I would smell cigarette smoke sometimes it would take me a second to realize what it was because no one smokes at BYU. I once went to another university to give a presentation and it blew my mind that people were smoking on campus, if someone did that at BYU everyone would look at them like they were crazy.

Alright enough examples.

So I went through my pictures to find some of my favorite moments at BYU and I found quite a few, so I'll have to just cut it down to some of my favorite moments at BYU with him.

Granted, I did not go to this game with him, but oddly enough he was on the row behind us, and made it into the picture. And at some point in the game I'm pretty sure he fell on either me or one of my roommates!

This is how we got around a lot of the time... lol a lot cheaper than putting gas in Jake.
Halloween
We love to take drives, this was in between sessions of General Conference. Provo Canyon is BEAUTIFUL in the fall.
The lovesac... which technically you already saw
Snowboarding (I'm terrible... lol, but he's good)
Spiking my hair (half glue/half water)
Front row at the football game! He won tickets in a paper airplane contest lol!
My graduation
Fishing/Camping
Air Show
Hiking (this is at the top of Squaw Peak... about 2 minutes before a huge storm hit pretty close to where we are standing.... we BOOKED it down the mountain)
Our first anniversary (I didn't put a picture of our wedding because technically that wasn't in Provo, and our second anniversary is coming up and I'm sure you'll be sick of wedding pictures when that comes lol)
Backpacking (my first time)
His graduation... apparently I'm a terrible wife and I haven't gotten the pictures from everyone else yet, but I swear I had more pictures of us, and I swear I just looked at them recently!
And finally I put a video of our canoe, which is one of my favorite things we did. But just so you know, you may just want to mute it because I was a little nervous and I sound like a crazy person... lol. And you will see some bottles, they did not drink those, they found the bottles and threw them away... we were at BYU lol.
