My roommates and I have been having some very fun and hilarious bonding moments. Each event includes a whole new set of #'s. We love to like, joke around and make up, like, the best hashtags ever! {Use your best teenage girl voice for that previous sentence please, it makes it that much more fun.} #roommatebonding {hence this post's title} and #hashtag are our favorite. Immature and dumb? Yes, probably. Do we care? No, no we don't. Does it make us laugh hysterically? Yes, indeed. So there's that. Some of our greatest bonding experiences include "Insanity" which is a work out video, the Homecoming Spectacular {and ice cream afterwards, of course}, and a very scary, green giant, flying bug.
While we do Insanity, Emma and Sarah try really hard....
While I stand in the back, do a few push ups or whatever, drink water, and make comments like #thismakesmehavetopee. Which then results in Sarah falling on the floor, Emma giving me the look, and I put my hands under my chin and smile/try not to laugh.
As you may have gathered, we have a good time while we {kind of, not really} work out.
So every year for Homecoming, BYU has a "Homecoming Spectacular" which is a performance of singing and dancing. The Cougarettes, the women's chorus, etc. They also have a guest performer each year. This year the guest was a guy named Nathan Pacheco who graduated from BYU a couple of years ago. He now is a really good and professional opera singer, and pretty cute, I must add. I think he sang one or two too many songs, but that's all good. I still enjoyed his voice.
Afterward, we decided to go get ice cream. As we were walking back to my car, we saw this really adorable couple walking to their car. The girl had performed in the women's chorus, and was holding a bouquet of flowers, obviously from him, and he was holding her hand. It was so adorable. To top it all off, he was wearing a gingham shirt with a very nice blazer. And if you know me, I melt at the sight of a cute guy that dresses well, especially if he is wearing gingham. As he opened his girlfriend's door for her, the three of us were freaking out at how adorable they were. That's when I said #he'swearinggingham! And that's when the night of hashtags begun.
We went to Cold Stone and by then we were on a roll.
Emma snapped this picture as Sarah and I were Snapchatting.
Later, she posted it on Instagram, and the caption was the list of #'s we'd come up with for the night. Let's just say it was a good night full of lots of laughter... and me almost peeing my pants.
So, we like to keep our door open because the weather has been so nice. Well, this not-so-little fella FLEW into our house. And Emma found it a little later.
Emma was the only one brave enough to get semi-close to it. She tried to nudge it so it would fly back out the front door, but she didn't have such luck because this dude is STRONG, and clung to the wall with its little pincher feet. So finally I told her to use my canvas and push the bug really hard so it fell on to the canvas. So then the buggy fell on to the canvas and Emma took it outside and let it fly away. But she made sure to shove the bug in my face first before she let it go. Thanks for the love Emma. I bet we looked and sounded really funny as we tried to get the little nasty out of the apartment.
I'm really thankful for Sarah and Emma and for the fun bonding times we've had. And I'm excited to have more fun with them. #roomies4lyfe!
